Yeah, some of us at the E-MU PK6 forum are quite excited about that one... now if only the breakout box for the Emulator X Studio didn't look so much like a freakin' Audigy (shudders)

I'll be interested to hear and see a lot more about it before I buy, although it does look quite cool :) Creative Labs on speed, rather than a true E-MU though, in my books...

On paper it sounds like a great bang for the buck but
that's the ever evolving trend in computer technology
where everything gets better and better for cheaper
and cheaper.

I question their Gigasampler support. It would be preferable to have full parameters importable, as opposed to just the raw samples.

I have run out of slots in my computer.
