yes, timing its quite tight on XT.

and i have to say, Boele, you're solely responsible for that purchase.
your pieces like "Gabriel" etc , done on XT, really made me want it bad.

Sync:
i did some experiments trying to emulate A6 sequencer with midi programming 
in DAW, and
i had sort-of a revelation. (i imagine its not new for some of you)

some sequences that do fast repetition when you play sustained chord, dont 
use new notes
(polyphony) for every step, they actually use re-triggering of filter and/or 
amp envelopes, so it sounds smooth and no poly stealing.  cant get away by 
programming repeating 16th chords in midi,
it eats poly and starts cutting notes. - only way is playing a sustained 
chord, and having some other cc value "playing" 16ths, while A6 sound is 
programmed to use that as a trigger for filter env.
havent figured out programming triggers on A6 yet, but i'm about to...

also, no luck in avoiding the delay in syncing, still..

thx
