Fran is a bad influence (on me). I've bought more junk after reading one of his posts

. He owes me a lot of money

. BTW, I can see the appeal of VSTi's. Sometimes when I'm messing around with my VX49 and VIP, I'm amazed at some of the gorgeous voices in that set. I've held back from buying big expensive VST libraries because of all the hardware boards I have, but they do sound nice, and with VIP it's just like having a hardware synth. Anyhow, good luck with your quest.
