Domenik,
Sbenno,

I'm a bit worried over this soundfont focus.
I thought soundfonts were a dying business.

Everybody is now publishing sample libraries based on some included softsampler player engine (kontakt, ...), not sound fonts.

We're talking gigabytes of disk streaming samples, playable with 512-1Gb of ram instead of 16-128 Mb soundfonts;

goto http://www.garritan.com/mp3.html#GPO for some sound comparisons ($249!) and this business is just starting; (see http://www.zero-g.co.uk/index.cfm?articleid=803)

If one could add (soft)arrangers to it ...
Call it a hardware supported FLR2003

Or maybe ask Jos Maas' onemanband (http://home.zonnet.nl/josmaas/onemanband/index.htm) for a linux version??

I sincerely hope the linux world has an answer to these 'sonic' trends.

If the answer is yes, THEN you're hardware all-in-one concept would really shine.

Keep up the good work!
