I don't own a T4 but reading on the features, They can consider the following features
- vst capability
- touchscreen OS
- sound synthesis on board
- audio loops
- audio midi synchronisation capabilities

I'm sure a lot of T4 owners will kick me in the butt saying they don't need these features for an arranger. But then hey .... what to add in an already amazing instrument !!




They should add 15 keys, full computer integration, including edditing software on the level of the Motif.... and a huge touchscreen.

They should improve on the SA voices even further in the future.

........................


On another note, i'd prefer if they added the full arranger engine and combined it with KARMA in the next generation of MOTIFs. Combined with VST capabillities and cubase integration this would make a dream instrument.

All that is in the Lionstracs, with gigs of RAM for Sampling, if only the arranger would be decent, Lionstracs looks off the radar screen for now, it's a shame they had good hardware, but the software needed catching up.

Lionstracs kept innovating their software functionallity, changing it every few months. There was never a stable base from which they build. One moment they where building an arranger, a few months later it was a Synthworkstation and then they where conquering the organ market, all with the same product.

Worst of all, they didn't have the content (sounds and styles) ....... And when they finally got the content (The soundset produced by James/Sharp for the Groove XR) the marriage ended.

I have been following the Lionstracs product for years now, but never ever they could convince me that their product was anything better then a testsystem.


James. Miden and Rob Sherrat are currently building a comparable system that will be released later this year, if they can add a totally embedded arranger function then it might actually be worth it.
