Dear Frank

I appreciate your input and look forward to your review next week. Are you a gigging musician? I am just a hobbyist.

Regarding the operating system, I do find W98 to be quite stable. It does take longer to boot than a dedicated synth, so that is a small problem. I am still concerned about timing issues. I played JL from my computer keyboard while I was printing the JL help files and noted timing problems. Ok, so you will not print while you are playing. However, you might be running gigasampler. I think that if there are timing problems, they can be solved, but it may take some experience sharing.

I have a PSR-8000 and was assuming that I would upgrade in a year to the PSR-9000. Now that seems unlikely.

By the way, if you use gigasampler for maybe gigastudio, don't you have the effects you want built in. On the other hand, I like vocal harmonization and I am trying to figure out how best to integrate that with JL.
