In less than 24 hours, they have reached more than 50% of their goal. 29 days to go. Technology has gotten better and cheaper since the days of vMachine and hardware based sample players. At $399, it seems pretty good for what it can do. Certainly the developer is not a keyboard player and his demos are not good, but I can see the potential of the machine.

Sorry, but demos on line make this sound like and 8 bit sid chip! I hope this is just a case of poor demoing.

I agree; poor demos. Regardless, in less than 48 hours they have exceeded their financial goal; over one hundred grand. I think musicians noticed the potential of the machine; WAV, AIF, MDA, EXS, NKI, SFZ, GIG files are supported. NKI up to Kontakt 6. Probably fancy scripting will be lost, but I will be happy to just be able to run Kontakt libraries like Neo Soundstation and high quality SFZ. Besides, LV2 plugins will be fully supported.

I signed up for the 128 GB unit for $399. There are still a few units available for the price.

Its just reading samples, and importing thoseinto its own engine
No scripting or anything as it uses those samples in its own sound engine i suppose..
