RE: Wavetable Synths vs Modeling Synths
If you're looking for smooth, the XT really isn't your bag. It can do it, but getting there can be a little work. It wants to be nasty. Bad girl XT!
Anyhow, considering the limititations of the 64 wavetables. I've yet to run out of sounds from the XT, but should you want more, you can create your OWN waves, and import them. Not sure EXACTLY how that's done, but it can me.
Regarding the Fizmo. I think xoxos once had one. They were plagued by serious build quality issues. It took 2 or 3 complete keyboards to piece together one that actually worked the way it was supposed to. And if memory serves, the company that produced them has gone under. Waldorf is still going strong, so I'd lean in that direction.
Thanks for the discussion, I know how my XT sounds, but I never really considered how it got there. :-)
