[A6] emagic, sounddiver, and a6

[José Sogo Flores]

What? Is still someone out there without Sounddiver? I really thought all
people use Sounddiver by now, maybe the most usefull piece of software I
have ever purchased.
Seriously, I think that some kind of patch manager belongs to a synthesizer
flagship like the Andromeda. I don't expect Emagic will make a full featured
editor for the A6, and even then there will be not as tactile and intuitive
as the synth interface. But let`s hope for a librarian (from Emagic or
Alesis) If there are 1000 Andromedas around the world, then I guess there
are 50% of A6's owners using Sounddiver, too. After all, Sounddiver do
includes a full editor for my not-easy-to-find and humble Roland MKS-7. I
don't think there are more than 1000 MKS-7 users at all.

Best regards

José
