HI WDMcM,
Thanks for the info...you've given me much more to consider. I did realize that the multimoog was monophonic but was not clear in my original post that I was looking for warm round leads moreso than pads. Of course, if polyphony is an option its always better.
The pro one looks great and I'm keeping my eyes out for one. Would you recomend against the Roland jp-8000 and Korg MS2000 due to the same issues regarding sound programming you mentioned for the micron and Ion?
With everything else I've ever purchased I've been able to do side-to-sides in music stores but since I'm trying to compare older analog stuff to more modern VAs its been nearly impossible for me to determine how much wamer\rounder the analog stuff may be. I just can't get my hands on it to try it!
Thanks for your help! -evan
