Yeah, what was I thinking!!! Windows is sooo much better since they require you to fork over a ton of money in hardware upgrades every time a new version comes out ... If you don't your system can barely keep up.

Why are you all even discussing this anymore?

This is a non issue now that Intel Macs can run XP (and Vista) by using the Boot Camp boot manager. Its a freely downloadable Beta currently and will be a part of the next OS X release.

Buy a Intel Mac and be done with it. It can run everything now.

"I think they actually used an EX5's "Warmer" patch alot on A Rush of Blood for that backing synth/string sound on songs like "Clocks".. (at least it sounded spot on to that patch).

IMO, from my experience playing, the synth strings on the new one are most definately a VA or some sort of digital synth. Sound like Novation to me. Listen to that synth string breakdown at the end of track 2 and you'll see what I mean. There's no way it's analog and it has that distinct Novation sound to my ears."

"just had a look at the inlay of the new album. If you look at the green page (4 pages in), you can see Chris playing a Yamaha CS80. "

"That's definately a Voyager. There is even a shot of the back and you can see the "vo" on the back.

But yeah, it's interesting that he was playing polyphonic pads and stuff. Are you sure the Voyager isn't poly-switchable? I have no idea. I was almost certain that it was only monophonic, because that was the argument about having to spend 3000 bucks for a mono synth.....

I can't imagine why they would midi it to another synth, but I guess it's definately possible..."

"...You can chain multiple Voyagers and Voyager RME's to get some polyphony."
