(And, not to get snippy on you akira^8GB, but a synth simply means that it's producing the sounds. I find it ironic that you don't like samples but still want to see the synthesis capabilities of the Esoniq.)
I never ever saoid I don't like sampling, I just said I would be interested in this computer's wavetable synthesis chip! That is very different to what the SNES does (that one i am not interested in 
)
As said, wavetable synthesis is different to sample manipulation.

Arfink - Do you have the details on the MIDI implementation in Noisetracker? MIDI sync would open up a world of possibilities!

Umm, I don't think NTGS has midi, actually. The whole concept of Midi sync isn't that old anyways, since usually Midi was used for transmitting note and instrument data and not sync data.

Whoops! My bad, I was thinking of Soundsmith! 
Also an Apple IIGS Laptop that looks like it will eventually be for sale!
Probably prohibitively expensive though.

I've never seen a IIGS in a WI thrift store! Lucky duck. I think I'll write up a list of vendors for IIGS hardware soon too.

Or, you know, just make a quick detour to NYC on your way home from the thrift store.
You could be like Johnny AppleIIGSeed, distributing Apple IIs around the land. Folk hero status.

I'll need to check my schedule. Probably not a problem for this weekend, but I need to make absolutely sure first.

Sounds good! I might have to make a trip to La Crosse this weekend to pick up a Space Invaders Deluxe arcade machine. If you're up for a road trip you're more than welcome to come along, think there will be room. haha

32 wavetable channels capable of playing up to 16kB samples. That's something. Also the Ensoniq "DOC" was made by the same guy who made the SID. Enticing!

I am tremendously interested in this project. I let my Apple IIGS out of my life so I was happy to let one be mine two weeks ago. They need an Apple color monitor, floppy drive, keyboard, and mouse. I want to exploit the wavetable synthesizer, and DIY using an alternative flatscreen or projector.
