Okay so I would have to have Cubase in order to use the Model E. That's kind of a bummer, I prefer the soft synths like Absynth where you don't need another program to use it. I never understood this concept of need on particlaur software package like Cubase to run a synth program like the Model E.

Well I think what I will do now, is first wait for my Minimoog to arrive. Save some money on the side (sell some stuff on ebay). And then look into buying a controller keyboard, and some soft synths as well. I will have to hold off on buying an MS2000, that's not in my imediate future.
