<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well I hate to rag on such an innovative
product and a couple of years ago I would have probably lusted after this board.
But now that I have just about every hardware keyboard I can handle, I have to
agree that the sound of the Neuron sounds like it comes from any well programmed
Rompler/Sampler. At Namm I closed my eyes while someone was running through the
various presets and could not distinguish this board's sound QUALITY from
any of the other big name romplers. I did get to try out the editing and
assigning joysticks to the plethora of parameters for immediate user control.
But unlike the Andromeda/Voyager, the sound just didnt do it for me. It does
remind of my wavestation and IF I were shopping for a sampler/rompler, I
would consider the Neuron Instead (big time). But at this point I cant see
investing(devesting) in any more digital keyboards when soft synths are more
economical. I can definitely see the Neuron as a future soft synth. Again
the short time I spent with it at NAMM certainly does not qualify my
opinion as anything more then just that. I will say that connectors on the
side and 1 wood side panel looks really wierd to me.
Sorry.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
