Hello Ahmad
I have the impression that you probably misunderstood me, the x1 is the greatest oriental arranger out there now but not the best synthesizer and that's mainly due to the fact that there is someone out there who is a good programmer but I also believe after reading the reviews and specifications of the new korg pa80 it’s going to beat the x1 by far it will only require someone who is a good style programmer.
I wonder if you got your keyboard in Lebanon why they gave you the flash card, I met couple of friends that bought it from eddy kenaan and the sounds were being loaded internally they didn't need the card, I personally as I stated before don't need the card because I got every thing to load inside the internal 8 mb Sims, in the other hand you mentioned that they're working on a new program that will need 16 mb, I’m assuming that they will need to use all the memory in the x1 what will prevent us from using the sampler because as you probably know 8 mb of the 16 mb memory is dedicated to the sampler, in that case a lot of people would be disappointed and I’m one of them since I rely a lot on my own sampled sounds, so far I sampled about 15 different excellent sounds
To answer naziz's question regarding the quality of the box, it’s a very basic and simple box that will do a perfect job it looks nothing like the GEM SW1 it's so simple I could make one by my self.
Thanks
Eddy
