The keyboard has a different constant force spring keyboard action. I have been waiting to pair this with Pianoteq for over a year. My goal is a highly portable, quality grand piano (no hernias).

Finally the VAX77 folding keyboard is being marketed. I am interested in opinions.

Here is a link to their new website where you can download a Pdf manual -

I was looking at that also.
I already load plenty of VSTi Romplers. And use DSP and Ananlog synths.
But instead of chasing and wasting time w/ 64bit, I would simply add a Receptor or V Rack, and stay live and stable by increasing my RAM footprint outside of the box.
Perhaps the best thing about V Rack is how Receptors can be grabbed used on ebay now for 700-1000 USD.....Happiness.
Also Muse may finally feel the sales taking a hit due to their slow compatability w/ VST FX/VSTi's.
Intel use to rape us until AMD MP's became available.
Competition is always welcomed.
I'll try and get to the SM Pro Audio booth to see exactly how much of a load it will take, as their statement about " more than 2GB's of RAM " appears to be ambiguous and over marketed.
The pain in arse Linux O.S. used by Muse was optimised to make better use of a 2GB RAM footprint.
Windows is...........well Windows. Already developers who have spent time making Vista/Mac drivers instead of new products are faced w/ Windows 7.0.................Please, stay focused.

Peace

The other hot product in this area is the "V-machines" series from SM Pro
http://www.smproaudio.com/index.php?opt...Itemid=105

Basically a hardware VSTi player.
So if you have a few £grand to spare, you can be gigging with pianoteq, a VAX77 and a V-rack in 2009.

No Problemo.

I use 45 Analog Device DSP chips in my DAW, and when I heard how IR uses the same DSP and MIDI 2.0 specs, it became apparent that these guys aren't just regurgitating more of the same junk.
I do not like the current business models that the big guys follow.
They are in the business for profit.
I like the guys who are in business to be trendsetters of innovation.

Solaris Synth, Soniccore XITE-1 and Infinite Response are all on the same corner. If I want to hear factory brass and see fine Ho's, I can go to the Rompler Room after I play the real McCoys.

I will be at booth 1121.
Right by IR's booth.
I am very interested in it also, even though I wanted 88 notes.

We'll see if that dog hunts, or if it's a Poodle.

I just had a brief talk with Glenn Chandler at www.infiniteresponse.com. The 25 pound folding midi keyboard capable of midi 2.0, etc. is expected to be in stores after January. They will be talking with distributors at NAMM in January.

The keyboard has a different constant force spring keyboard action. I have been waiting to pair this with Pianoteq for over a year. My goal is a highly portable, quality grand piano (no hernias).
