I got this idea from the early 1960s, when my father ordered a brand new car. In those days, he was able to tell the dealer exactly what he wanted, and a while later, the manufacturer would deliver the car to the dealer for my father to pick up. Nowadays, customers can simply download or activate all the sounds and features he wants directly from the manufacturer's website. Of course, the more sounds and features he adds, the more he pays. In other words, the hardware stays the same, but the software is personalized. And in the future, if he wants to add more, he's able to do so. Just an idea. smile


Actually this is how the nord stage works... you can empty it... and add exactly those samples you want from their huge library....

Also in Korg instruments, you can change the factory sounds if you want to.... creting a setup like you want...

However, with arrangers a set up like the Nord this is much harder to archieve, as styles asume certain sounds are available... thats why the high end keyboards all have user sounds and user styles... thats the part where you create your very own car... when you compare that to your fathers car, you can drive around in a different color car, any moment you want...
