The big question is how many would GEM be able to sell. The new DRAKE chips are capable of incredible feats, never thought to be possible. Making instruments for the masses with this new technology is, in my opinion more important. For some reason, I have found over the years that people aren't willing to read a manual and dive into an instrument like in the past (say the DX 7). People want the instrument extremely easy to use, with everything spoon feed to them. With an instrument such as you are speaking of, is very intresting, and I think I would have a ton of fun tweaking. Unfortunatly I think people like ourselves are in the minority. Most don't even get into or even know that instruments like the genesys can edit the sound, nor ever get into that function. Its hard enough to get someone to load a new sample on the instrument, some would rather complain that they don't like a certain sound, than finding an loading a sound that they like. Am I all wet?
