Plus there are some synths (Prologue, etc.) where you can buy an 8 voice version or 16 voice version. The Waldorf M is cool cause you can start with 8 voices and later expand to 16 if you want.

I am interested in the M... it sounds good and all the demo sounds are dry... no FX

and I like that it is 4 part multi-timbral. Also, not too complicated and the UI looks fun to use.

Yeah... prices are going up significantly

The price for the 8 voice in the US is $2499

Maybe UncleE could shave a few bucks off?

The M sounds very good. There are moments in the demos where the sound has a character and vitality I've never heard from the Quantum.

There's a competing product that seems very similar called the MD900 (by Mayer Electronic Music Instruments), which has just been announced. No analog filters but the digital filters seem to be stereo. No idea on the price but sounds pretty nice. Seems they'll be in direct competition.

Not really directly competing since no analog filters.

Yeah Im thinking its more like a linux based groovebox, except for the price.

Both way too expensive for me. Might treat myself to a Blofeld or Behringer PPG when that comes out.

TBH, I think the prices of hardware synths are getting a bit expensive.
