Scoopicman... Didn't realize that with respect to sample load times. Very cool. Of course, not reason enough for an $8000+ keyboard, but at least it's a start. I haven't heard anything about THAT technology trickling down to the M3, though. BTW, will the Oasys play while it loads? That's another thing all samplers should work on...

And sorry, but an $8000+ keyboard to record a sub-$2000 keyboard's sounds on, rather than an $800 laptop seems an extravagance. I could have an Oasys in front of me right now. It would still not persuade me to use it instead of a pro DAW. Just the quality of the plug-ins (I use UAD-1 cards for non-native stuff) and range of choice can't be matched by hardware, yet alone the 24 bit recording issues...

NIce if you have one, but I'll stick to more affordable superior alternatives, if you don't mind...
