Well, let's see here. I'm not cappin' on the Genesys, in fact I like the board quite a bit and was the only other board in contention when I bought my Tyros instead.

H/D
2 gig hard drive is still not alot with wav files easily being 50/60mgs each. And if the o/s is taking up some of that 2 gigs as well. Add some wav samples and pretty soon there's nothing left. My hard disk recorder has a 12 gig drive on it. Archiving things to cd would not be very convienient I don't think, but a 10 gig drive would.

64 note polyphony
With lush strings and and other large polyphony eating voices, not to mention sustain pedal, effects etc., one can run out and get note drop out. 128 note is fairly common now and at over $5k for the board I think it should have 128.

as far as my ping rate and all that to the connection.....
I guess I should feel lucky compared to Chico with a 27 minute d/l. My connection just had to keep stopping to refill the buffer.

"I would like to know what your ping rate was, as well as a site like google. Also the route the ping took."
You're joking right?
I didn't pay a bit of attention to any of the above. All I was saying is that normally I can click on anything and it just plays. This connection just kept stopping and rebuffering.

Sorry if you got bunched up over my comments, as I said, I really like the board except for I think it's too expensive especially considering what I think are valid concerns.
