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......

I have both SW1000XG & DS2416, I got both from a Japanese retailer and both are pretty cool. You can link them together using a cable and route SW1000XG audio&midi into any DS2416 channel.

Could you give some more info on the retailer, and if that version works with an american ibm pc (perhaps a stupid question ;) ) Is it worth waiting for the official release?

The card was about $570 US and the PLG 100 VL board was about $130. I bought it from a Japanese retailer (check www.soundonsound.com) and all the soft and manuals came in Japanese so I can't really use them. The card comes with XG Works for SW1000XG wich is really cool, so, maybe you guys should wait until either an european or american version comes out, I'm working my way to get an english cd. The driver works fine though.
I use the card along with Cakewalk and it does a pretty fine job, it's really easy to create an studioware panel to automate your mix since everything in the built-in hardware mixer is controlled using midi data unlike the DS2416. I also purchased XGEdit v 2.6 wich now fully supports this card.

Regards

I read in Future Music that the card had the same chip as is in the A3000 sampler and they hinted that Yamaha may release a sampling daughter board for the Card some time soon.

I wonder if anyone has any more info. / rumours.

I would buy one tomorrow if I knew the sampler board was coming.. . .
