Hello forum people.
I think that I can explain better the Mediastation Arquitecture:
The Mediastation GM soundīs are attached in a BIG flash memory (Removible and upgraded by socket).
In other keyboardīs itīs impossible to do it. My Mediastation donīt have the same FLASH like factory ( Lionstracs was upgraded mine this year, more soundīs ).
I think Mediastatin useīs ENVY chipīs to makes 24 bit sound outputīs. MS have too special PCI cardīs inside.
First point: All the rest is linux based dedicated software.
With this Special feature we can have a New Keyboard just changing software, nice donīt ?
Wy I need to by new keyboardīs bettwen 2, 3 or 4 yearīs ?
I remember again, al Hardware is ready to work and to next generation too.
Wy Tyros 1, Tyros2, psr9000. tecnhicīs kn......, solton MS. SD.. , KorgPAX, PX ( Attencion I have somes too ) makes new modelīs ?
The conpanies need to upgrade the hardware. And if you can put your software from the XXXX last model conpanie inside a hold model ?
Like put Techincs KN1000 running the Technics Kn2000 ? Hardware inconpatibility off course. Otherīs too, Like wy I need to by a SD5 ? Wy my SD1 donīt load SD5 software ?
In all life on My SD1, I only was 3 software updates maybe in 3 or 4 yearīs. One Upgrade in my old Roland-G1000 in all life time.
I think itīs time to keep the same hardware and just makes software updates. ( new features other thingīs )
Again i tell to all people forum that Iīm happy with my Mediastation.
Remember, Lionstracs are one dedicated team to one cause ( Mediastation ), not 1 team by many modelīs and productīs.
Big conpanies make it ? Maybe yes, maybe not. I think the result off more Updates that the otherīs keyboard is the intensive and very direccionated job from Lionstracs Team.
Thanks to all.
