I have
an A2000 and it is one of my favourite synth. You can certainly get bizaare
sounds out of it. Beware though, the 16 meg (or is it 8) rom upgrade is
virtually extinct, and look out for prices of the Emu Extreme Lead which has the
soundset of the A2000 built in, but can take the newer Emu Rom
cards.
I picked up an Audity for a very low price
(Musician's Friend has them for $299). This 'rhythmic' synth module
really kicks butt! 16, count 'em, 16 arpeggiators! I've been fooling around
with the preset arpeggiations/patterns generating rhythms to ultimately use
with my looping gear. The Emu interrface is fairly easy to grasp. I can
see lots of possibilities with this piece of electronica. Has an interesting
lineage, too.
Regards,
Paul
