Wavetable synths

Hey folks,

I am thinking of getting the Ensoniq MR Rack synth. Anybody using it?

I found the following info on:
http://home.att.net/~microtonal/micro_af.html

"Be forewarned that many wavetable based synthesizers do not remap the
samples properly when the retuned note is out of the sample range of the
original sample pitch. For instance, on the early Proteus modules if you
retune C4 to a value near C5 in the key tuning table, the instrument plays
the correct pitch but the wrong sample. It still plays the sample created
for the C4 pitch, rather than the correct sample for the C5 pitch. This
creates chipmunk type effects even worse than the normal sampling
transposition."

Is this true for the ensoniq MR? Anybody have experience with this problem?
