But TD has very complex, individual requirements for the necessary tools for composing and for the administration of compositions. These aspects are important for us, that's why we prefer to drive around in 5 Pontiacs rather than squeeze our musical - technical daydreams into an uncomfortable Rollce Royce. This applies not only to sampling. All SCSI and midi connections need to be replaced with fiber optical connections to guarantee the fastest transfer rate. CD ROM drives are not the solution, the sampler can only work limitedly with these.
Memory still poses the greatest obstacle for working comfortably.
The 32MB RAM in the Akai is a joke, 64MB is better but not good enough, the Kurzweil 2500 with the 128MB option is OK, ever since this company allowed for the use of standard industry simms. The E-mu 4 is also positive. A forced Flash-Rom may make sense until a complex HD Ram solution is found. Regarding our other wishes - our lips are sealed.
