Re: aside from Nord Wave, Kronos what synth plays user sampl

thanks cardinal.

are there any other you (or anyone else) can suggest that have knobby interfaces with a lot of immediate control akin to the Nord Wave or is the Wave alone in this regard?

aside from Nord Wave, Kronos what synth plays user samples?

looking for a synth on which you can load and play your own samples.
