Probably you have the latest "Intel Sound Board" along with 24bit-192Khz sampling on your PC (the same that the manufacters of the Motif, Triton and FantomX had to copy !!!...). Or you have the latest CPU from Intel (the one no one has ever heard about yet) right from the building block instead of a 3,2-P4. Or maybe Intel stoped developing chips so you don't have to do "upgrades" every 6 month to keep in-time.
Do you really believe that you have the latest technology on your computer?
Stating that "the (music) manufacturers have to use technology that is several generations behind what you would find on the latest PC" its so stupid that I can hardly believe. Want some examples: search for Yamaha Vocaloid, Roland V-Sinth, Korg Legacy or the Line6 Variax just to mention a few of the most knowed. Or what about Roland GS format beeing licenced by Microsof (find out that on the Windows XP manual). Not to mention the digital S/PDIF signal beeing developed by Sony and Philips. Suddenly, you send all the research and development centers from the most important music manufacters right to your Recycle Bin. At least search for information about Bose beeing present in the Space Shuttle (it will take you closer to "light") and you'll get a very small idea of what music manufacters are doing.
And please ...BE REAL.


Mini, me thinks youve got the wrong end of the stick entirely and have quoted products out of thin air that dont relate to arrangers, or reality for that matter, and have intentionally taken the topic of course onto a scene that is best left to blip and blop dance soundmakers. If NASA is using BOSE in the shuttle, its probably cause theyre the one of the few organisations that can afford the bloody stuff! LOL

Getting back to arranger keyboards, for want of some more down to earth ideas let's hear them, im all ears?

p.s. are these light-emitting companies still using SIMMS at all?
