So I was right, it's just a Live-Arranger software with Integration on lionstracs hardware on windows. it is good idea for some people.

they can still full install Kubuntu OS for use everything make MS/Groove unique.


linux, every day gets new users. even at school they should start with linux education.Becouse Linux is the only O.S which has a lot to offer to its end users. and it's free.

it is unfortunate that people still hang on windows. on my laptop i have both installed,linux and windows.

Kubuntu 10.04 LTS runs incredibly good and is stable.

Well that's a pity.
Being able to boot to Windows will be excellent, but the biggest appeal of a Lionstracs keyboard over something like Open Lab$ is the custom Lionstracs Software.

I love the fact that it's all so seamless.

Oh well... I'm not going to complain, we are already spoiled rotten.

But you just did!

We were going on Doms statement, which he later clarified to say it may be happening but not too soon, so there was no need at all for this comment....

Just as WE would not have made it had the answer been different.

And in any case Doms reply indicates there may be development to boot into Windows with the OS with mapping to several buttons and tabs (even if not by Lionstracs) so your comment is made redundant even further.

LOL... 'it may be happening, but not too soon'

Pretty much the MS's entire history in a nutshell

Diki, that is a most unfair comment. I think you will find that the OS updates (major) from Lionstracs exceed anything the MAJORS (Korg Roland Yamaha) provide.

The thing I LOVE about the Media Station and Lionstracs is that Dom is kind enough and is passionate enough to share his ideas with us. How many of the MAJORS CEO's actually talk with their owners on a day to day basis?

Unlike Korg Yamaha Roland, who keep all their plans to themselves, hoping to shill buyers, by making them by hardware that is soon to superseded.

Look at the upgrades (major) to the majors and the time spacing between upgrades.

I think you will find the Media Station OS is probably in front as far as updates go

Nearly 3 years for Korg, Yamaha just make you buy a brand new piece of hardware for very VERY little upgrade, and Roland have lost the plot entirely.

No, I think you should really reconsider your statement there.

Ummmmm, never thought I'd live to see the day when someone would mistake Diki for Donny......or visa versa .

chas (or maybe I'm Fran)

ROTFL....oops!!!! sorry Donny

Thought I'd better capture it in case Dennis decided to edit it . Then MY post would make no sense. Probably doesn't anyway .

chas

Yeah sorry Chas, I did edit it to make it correct.

Should have left it. But thanks for saving it.


Dennis

PS: perhaps thats the closest they have ever been

Sorry, Dennis, but I stand by it. After reading about this thing for what, six years or so (Nov '03 is the first search result for 'Lionstracs'), and it STILL is a 'work in progress' that can't match a closed arranger for ease of use and sheer practicality, despite that first post being titled (by Dom himself) 'The future of arrangers'...

Well, the future has yet to arrive.

When it does (IF it does) I will be first in line to get one. But I have a feeling that it will have the words Yamaha or Korg or maybe even Roland on the panel. Somehow, ONLY those guys have a clue what arranger players in the vast majority actually want. I have always said I would LOVE an open arranger if I didn't lose what was good about a closed arranger at the same time. Seems utterly obvious Dom is incapable or unwilling to go that route, so I wait and wait for the REAL 'future' to arrive...

I think, in fairness, Dennis, after your last go-round with the MS, that perhaps it is YOU that needs to 'wait', and weigh in on the subject once you actually HAVE got the thing to perform the way you want it? Do you really want egg on your face a second time? Your 180º on the MS the first time showed that there is a HUGE difference between theory and practice. As is obvious from the almost complete lack of anything decent posted in style format by those that HAVE had the MS for years, this is obviously anything BUT easy.

Let's just wait until you have figured out whether it does what you need on this second time around before you leap into the void again? If the future arrived the way the optimists had predicted, I would be dictating this into thin air as I fly through the air in my sky-car, not typing it at home while oil approaches my beaches because we are still driving cars around that run on petrochemicals...
