This is OT for this list but I wasn't sure where to share this find... GuitarCenter
is blowing out the Korg OASYS PCI card for $399. These were going for ~$1200 not
long ago. This is a combined audio card, synth card, and effects processor. I
think it was the development system for Korg engineers for the modeling and virutal
analog synths. The polyphony is limited but it has some cool physical modeling as
well as most of the mult-samples and patches from the Trident/Triton series.
Control is all from a program that runs on a Mac or PC.
It ain't modular or analog but it does allow you to play around with some neat
synthesis forms as well as some interesting effects. Oh, and you can use it for
recording and playback (ADAT, SPDIF, Analog I/O).
