Checked them already. But really, I only asked 3 simple questions
which could have been answered with as much effort as it took for you
to tell me to check the links again, to look for information that
doesn't seem to be there!

It wasn't clear to me exactly what the Poly-VL was, what the Yamaha
SoftSynthesizer was, whether actual hardware was required, if so what
that hardware actually was, etc. I couldn't find any information on
pricing and current availability.

It seems that it maybe needs some sort of Yamaha SoftSynthesizer
soundcard or sound module that has a connector for the Poly-VL plugin
board. Just doesn't seem to be a software solution, as I was
expecting, but more a hardware solution that uses the host CPU for
extra DSP power.

Info says it was released in February 1999, but I didn't notice if it
is still available, and what a current price would be.

Maybe someone has checked the current pricing and availability, and
can let us know if it is still available in Japan and what it costs.
