Hi ,everyone. Did you hear 'bout new Yamaha's
PCI Soundcard called SW1000XG.
20(!!!)Mb of ROM,64 poly, 31 multitimbral+ 1 part of realtime VL synthesis, 7 parallel DSP 24-bit effects, 2 AD inputs (like in SW60XG) for external effect processing, S/PDIF, 24 Channel HD Recorder. The only Quetion : How much does it cost ? Well. I don't know. But if the price will be temperate-moderate i will sell my old but nice SW60XG and buy this really cool stuff.

Somebody knows the price ? Please......

When is gonna be available? Checking their site everyday but no news. Yamaha was going to start shipping in May though.

Can you create multi-layered QS-300 type voices on it (like you can crate 2 layer voices on the DB and SW PC XG cards)? With detailed parameter control like LFO fade time, cutoff and volume scaling break points, pitch scaling etc?

On Yamaha's site is says "for less than 1000 UK pounds, you could have......basically the heart of the 02R mixing desk, with the heart of the MU100..." (i.e. and SW1000XG and a DS2416).

Since the DS2416 is being advertised already at 700 pounds, the SW1000XG should hopefully be under 300 pounds !!

I'm curious about the sound quality of the SW1000XG.
How does it compare to a DB50XG?

The quality of the sounds on the SW1000 will be much better than the DB50 because it has so much more ROM (20 megs instead of 4) and the samples of the wave table instruments will not suffer from the same compression as on the DB50, the SW1000 will also be able to support more elements to its sounds. The DB50 sounds can have a max of 2 but i recon the SW1000 will support 4 or more because its basically a MU100R on a card!

Oh- and the DS2416 is a digital mixing card NOT a synth of any sort. Its basically an O2R with 24 channel digital mixing + 16 tracks of HD recording at 32 bit resolution (max). Its also got onboard effects and stuff so as to not chip into your CPU. Cool!

Well said Kilo. With the arrival of the SW1000, DB50's will be a pitance and you can get em secondhand now for 50 quid. Hving said that though the SW1000 does got some mad FX and 7 busses rather than 3.
