we just need it to be stable,
no crashing,
more sounds (modern), SA type sounds,
more variety of styles, more modern,
more memory (RAM and HD or better yet SSD)

everything MORE, EXCEPT price,

make this thing (61 key and module) AFFORDABLE,
so musicians (along with the rich) can buy it without having to take out a 2nd mortgage.

is this too much to ask?

Sadly, I can't see how a 61 note or module can be much lower cost. The difference between parts on a 61 key and 76 key is probably only about $50. And a module just a couple of hundred.

But a module would still be great news!

are we still counting DOWN?

or are we counting UP?

Only if they remove features, the price can be much lower...

Tough i would not be surprised if these pieces where much cheeper and they used the 78 key version to gain back most of the development costs..

The hardware of a Synth can't cost more then 1000 dollar including a touch screen and a top knotch keybed.

In a word... YES!

Perhaps you would like YOUR customers to ask you to play twice as well, twice as long, oh, and by the way, would you take a big pay cut also?

Diki,

yes i would play more, twice, take pay cut,

IF it meant LOTS of repeat business,

you see you gotta give a little sometimes to get ALOT in return,

no need for greed when the competition is STIFF

So you end up making the same money for working twice as hard?

Sorry, but naturally, I assumed you were already working as much as you wanted to...

It's just this: "more sounds (modern), SA type sounds,
more variety of styles, more modern,
more memory (RAM and HD or better yet SSD)

everything MORE, EXCEPT price, " is simply dreaming.

But, maybe the Tooth Fairy DOES exist (and is shacking up with Santa)

Me, I want a Bugatti Veyron, for the price of a Camry. Am I asking too much?

no Diki you are not asking for too much

what's the countdown at now?

5/8th.
