The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

A version of any synth/Sampler editor you choose inside your sequencer 
of choice is what appeals to me, no more hubis loopback devices to make 
Midi ports multiclient, I like the idea of getting the same kind of 
access to my 'real' synths as you get to a vsti.  From what I can see, 
OPT is a breath of life for 'hardware' midi devices.  Now we just have 
to wait for the programmers to come up with some neat stuff for us to 
use.

it probably does sound a bit like logic environments, but then again 
environments are a purely Logic thing, OPT is for everyone, and I'm sure 
that a long hard look would have been taken at the architectures that 
were available at the time of developing OPT, and the good bits would be 
taken into consideration.

Steinberg are giving SX buyers a load of Cakewalk midi plugins (Which I 
am sure will be useful) but the thing that bothers me most is that while 
VST is upgrading to version SX (at a price), while Sonar (Err, isn't 
that CAKEWALK Sonar?) isn't upgrading to a new version (Or price), but 
is adding support for OPT!

So, us steiny users will get a load of Cakewalk hand-me downs, while 
sonar users get shiny new OPT Plugin support :-(  (No doubt funded by 
the sale of Cakewalk midi plugins to Steinberg, LOL)
