Well it looks like the MS is now to be available after October 30 (instead of 16).

Which is a real pain as I was planning to get into programming and setting it up for a new season starting in Mid November...

And then you add on top the huge difference now between the Aussie $ and the Euro (nearly $2 Aussie for 1 euro) it is causing this keyboard to drift further and further away.

Anyway we will see what happens....

Dennis..be patient..

You playing YOUR MS much, Fran?

Just had word from Dom, and it seems it was a parts supply issue. He was held up by other firms who hadn't completed his order for mixer boards, so not his fault at all.

Just one of those things.

Hopefully he might be able to ship by the end of October.

Dennis

yep...my delay is due from my PCBA manufacture..is mising only the mixer board and then i'm ready to shipping again...

Here a shoot how the MS pro inside: http://www.lionstracs.com/demo/MSproinside.jpg
In only 12Cm of heigth look how many PCB boars can be installed..
I don't know how many years you have to waiting for see just some parts of this Pro hardware in one of yours keyboards.....

Enjoy what you play...and let now Diki continue blame me...boring like always...

Ah...another interesting news...
the new giga Linuxsampler, is now available to play multiple different soundbank, instead to use the only GM/GS.
the new java frontend is able to editing the new map and include how many soundbank that you like: http://linuxsampler.org/screenshots/fantasia.png

It mean that now we are also able to organize a totally new T2/3 giga sound bank and recall it in realtime like a multiple sound generator XG.

IF we can prepare one nice tyros soundbank, with the Qranger we can load the NOT converted yahama styles and the qranger will play it direct to the new Tyros giga soundbank.

My sound developer is starting to clone also the SA voice under giga format... FREE download of course....nothing to pay!!

IF someone there will help to clone new sounds, is available the Linuxsampler windows version for Free download: http://linuxsampler.org/downloads.html


Slow slow continue to be always more interesting...

cheers

Thats a great picture... espescially the wooden parts...

But i am impressed with the number of PCB's and the memmory size, Quad core and 8GB, lst time i checked it was way less...

yes, I had just upgrade my MS CPU and RAM for some promising testing..
here the result:


Is a really HAVY engine...
about 5 hours for installing 6 DVD, 51Gb data installed.
need some time for startup, the .dll is about 80Mb and then have to loading in ram the sounds...no streaming..
some simple single sounds are also 500-800Mb data...but when is UP, with the multi asio system I can switch in realtime.

I will try to optimize some in wine, maybe to try to allocate more memory, i have to test.

Anyway, I can say...GEIL!! .

Thats probably the most inovative Software instrument since many years...

I can't wayt to hear that in real time....

Great pic, thanks Dom..Impressive layout.
