Software updates is the present day technology. Plenty of RAM, Hard drive, touch screen technology, controllers, etc. Its all cheap, made in China, plastic and it shouldn't really cost the prices these companies quote.
They make it for peanuts in china and slug the west with premium prices.
Well, that's my belief.

You are right! But it would be nice to use all my Fantom G6 Cards with the new Workstation. As I said: Just dreamin.

Hopefully it has not 2 screens. I would prefer a big touchscreen with Cakewalk intgration and ARX module slots plus Integra 7 sounds and a v-synth engine.
Just dreaming.
The combination of the supernatural engine and v-synth would be great indeed.
In about 15 hours from now we'll know more.

Supernatural is the evolution of he Vsynth engine....
But i still think V-synth has an edge when it comes to sound creation.... thing likem the Fm part are totally removed from the supernatural..

The V-Synth rules when it comes to sample mangling, I wish more people realised that.

Cakewalk has been acquired by Gibson/Tascam a couple of months ago so I doubt we'll see any further serious integration of Roland products.

Absolutely! The V-Synth is an underrated synthesizer.
I am curious about Clavia/nord® if they are going to release a Nord Wave 2. I did not like the sound of their NW1 but the idea in general was quite good. And usually their synthesizers sound great. I still use the old fashioned NR2 as it is really joy to program and sonically it is of hight quality.

kawai has a great keyfeel, and good piano sounds... However they fail in giving their instruments master keyboard functionallity...

Korg has really got a lock down on their products for NAMM. Not one leak, image or any thing. All we have are names and that's it! Roland on the other hand leaked out their Aria rhythm machine and a few others to get excited about.
I cant wait for NAMM!!!!
