The fact that they are 24 bit samples probably explains the delay in getting the full 100 voices. My guess is that he didn't have all of the tape library voices sampled at 24 bit. The digital mellotron samples that Markus has supplied up until now have been 16 bit. (Pinder CD rom). You might think it's easy to convert 16 bit to 24 bit, but Markus may have resampled everything one note at a time. Does anyone know ?

In all fairness he did give me the option of having one with the low voice count, but I felt it was going to be worth the wait to get the full set of 100. I didn't want to get into having to getting it upgraded.
