I have a Nord Lead 3, far far far far far cooler

Dolby 5.1 is TRUE digital surround. DPL2 is just something that a receiver does with audio isn't it? I mean, whatever device you plug into a receiver (stereo only even), then DPL2 will give you an emulated surround experience. It's not coming from the Wii. It's the stereo receiver processing that sound out across the speaker system. I'm sure if I'm wrong someone in here will correct me but I'm worked with surround sound enough to believe that I'm spot on with this idea of Dolby.

Not quite true. While DPL2 will "decode" any stereo signal. However, with a pure stereo signal you don't really know what will come out of each speaker. If you use some matrix encoding, you can make a signal that acts just like a normal stereo signal on a stereo device (like your TV) but you can control where each "sound" will be played when properly decoded on a 5.1 system.

So, a stereo signal may have the voice come out the back speakers even if you don't want it to. However, a properly encoded DPL2 signal will only have the voice come out the center channel.

I have a midget on a unicycle eating an oatmeal cookie. So there!

A console in the year 2009 with no 5.1 surround. Talk about advancement.

The only cool thing Nord used to be the Nord Modular.

I actually always liked the Korg stuff better. Much more "playable". And the XBase, of course.
