Guest ehcsztein Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 http://www.opnlabs.com/products.php PErhaps the endless debate between software and hardware will dissipate with gear such as this...mmmm VSTis in a hardware synth??? Choice!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feathers Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 It is part of the western disease to endlessly debate without ever reaching a conclusion. Hardware synths are great... Switches, knobs, dials, convenience, portability. Software synths are also great, low cost, great performance, zero size and weight and no parts to wear out. I use both.

Guest ehcsztein Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I haven't "really" played much with the soft-synths etc...inability to feasibly integrate into live setup is the main reason... but this keyboard got me to thinking that the best of both worlds could be achieved... though if i had the $$ to get one of these i know i wouldn't...so take that for what its worth... and yes there are many debates such as this that will never be resolved...i like to think that it helps development of new products in both arenas...the challenge for an unachievable superiority etc etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feathers Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 It looks nice... I assume it doesn't actually exist at this time, since those images are as virtual as the VSTi's it will host. Perhaps I will put my PC into a rackmount case and sell it to myself as a hybrid hard/soft synth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ehcsztein Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 would you give yourself the "friend" price??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feathers Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Knowing me I'd end up charging myself more than the $2000 asked for the Eko! :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thegreatmagnet Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 sounds shady... if they came up with a way to boot a windows xp system instantly then the creators of this keyboard would have died in a mysterious car accident awhile ago...
