Agreed.
Typically, I'd take some satisfaction at getting the problem report
into the pipeline so they'd _at_least _ be aware for future
development but it's been awhile since they've released a new
product with a RIBBON Controller so...
Regarding FlashROM updates - one of the determining factors
for me when I was shopping for a hardware sampler was the
FlashROM OS update offered on the Ensoniq ASR-X Pro.
Unfortunately, Ensoniq was bought up by Creative Labs and
merged with E-mu (that was a GREAT idea ;-) and only one OS
update ever saw the light of day!
sigh

p.s. - OT but has your clonewheel group compared/discussed
any of the drawbar VSTi's to each other? Maybe I should just
search your list archive...
