Hello,

Yess the samples in the abacus are great! But . . . they are played like waves so uncompressed - the sounds in most keyboards (all?) are al stored in compressed form to have more space so i dont now how long the samples in the 7000 are wen they are played!

There is a system who uses wave files like wersi but less expencive. It's from a german company who make's modules for keyboards and now have come out with a keyboard (also as module) with an o.o.s (open sound system caled MEGA X. It even works with a very large touchscreen. They use also waves and it is a compleet open system. I've heard it in frankfurt and was amazed from the clear and crisp sound. Also the styles are superb and you have even the posibility to make your own styles or convert styles from other keyboards. More info on it you can find at www.branda.de
