Waldorf XT Shadow

via this auction

"The Waldorf XT features a comprehensive set of two oscillators that are based on wavetables. Each wavetable features a multitude of different sounds thus allowing for a timbral variety unlike standard analogue synth or romplers. The user can sweep through these wavetables to create moving timrbal animation that yields results unlike any other synth. There is also a noise generator and ring modulator on board as well as a throughly comprehensive filter section which features the following filter types: 6/12/24 db Low pass & High Pass, Frequency Modulation Filter, Sin (x)-Low Pass, Dbl LP/HP, 24/12 db Band Pass, Band Stop, and a Waveshaper algorithm.

If modulation is what you are after, then look no further as the XT is packed with a fully fledged modulation matrix that allows even the modulation of modulation sources! There are several LFO's with full comprehensive shapes including noise and sample and hold as well as a function and modification generator similar to the Kurzweil K2000 series of synthesizers. Also on offer is a set of envelopes that can be routed to various modulation inputs as well as the usual envelopes for the amplifier and filter.

If that's not enough, there is a comprehensive and programmable arpeggiator with 16 steps and 128 patterns as well as a comprehensive FX section which can happily replaces some of your outboard processors as it sounds very good. However, unlike offerings from Access and other synth manufacturers, the Waldorf needs no FX to sound full, lush, and recordable."
