Started this topic on the Yahoo Groups XV board, thought it might be fun to have it here, too.

If you could create a "fantasy" SRX or SRJV80-card what would it be?

Suggested groundrules: Maximum memory/voices for SRX: 64mb/256

For SRJV80: 16mb/256 voices

Possibilities: Create a new card from scratch, or suggest a new SRX "combo card" combining up to 3 existing SRJV cards.

I'll start:

Mine would be a dedicated jazz/blues card, either SRX or SRJV. It would include:

o A bunch of piano sounds, ranging from club grand and nightclub grand, to honky tonk and bordello uprights.

o A larger selection of acoustic basses

o One Jaco Pastorious-style electric bass

o A wider selection of quality solo trumpets and saxes representing the sonic qualities of Miles, Satchmo, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, and Charlie Parker.

o Ellingtonian and Basie-style horn sections

o A really good set of brush drum sounds

o A couple decent Rhodes, Wurlitzers, and Jimmy Smith jazz organs

o Milt Jackson-style vibes

o A good selection of acoustic and electric blues guitars mimicking the sonic qualities of B.B. King, Elmore James, Robert Johnson, Lightnin' Hopkins, Albert Collins, Stevie Ray Vaughn and T. Bone Walker

o A good selection of blues harps

That's my fantasy board. What's yours?
