I am having these visions ....

GEM says it's DSP proccessor's are the best. Why won't they make a Hybrid instrument: on the one hand a workstation like the WK8SE/Genesis/Equinox and on the other a platform for synthemulators to work on

I am talking of them making a deal with Proppelerhead for a Rebirth emu; a deal with Native for their B4, FM7 etc in a new Synth? I am talking about realtime proccessing emulator modes in real keyboards. With PIII Celeron proc power at hand for small prices... why not? An Xbox has a Celeron 750mhz. Imagine what you can do in a synth with all the power of a small OS and a huge amount of processing power.

Like the Sound mode on the Equinox, their should be a Virtual Synth mode in a Real Synth. That would be a limit-breaking option; instead of RealSounds on the Genesys. Or be able to make AudioCD's with your keyboard...

Anyone share this opinion, or know what is so impossible about the idea?

I keep on dreaming....
