Hi

I have just upgraded to the pro9000 and am hoping yamaha would introduce a sampling expansion board so we can save our own samples too. This would allow us to store the samples in the expansion board and not have to load them all the time into custom voices.
This would also increase the sampling memory of the pro9000 from 64 to 128. Thats If yamaha makes the expansion board allowing another 64mb.

I use my own samples on stage and it takes me about 20 minutes to load about "50 mb" of sample voices. I rely on these samples as i use these in my songs. If the power turns off what do i do. This is a very important board which needs to be implemented in the pro9000.

Please are there any other pro9000 users who have this concern. If so let us bring it to the attention of Yamaha to introduce a board with the sampling backup storage. As other companies such as General Music have used in there keyboards such as the GEM WK8 and GENEYSIS, with their backup flash ram.

I hope Yamaha you are listening. if you are don't forget to put rass on the board also so when we load drum loops we can change the tempo speed without the pitch changing.

Thanks Guys
Ali
