Fairlight-CMI

Interesting.  

Count me out at $20k but I hope they sell all of them so that there can be a series IV.  

If there is a series IV I would hope that it would just be a card with software that I could plugin to the PC of my choice. The one feature that I would really like to see is an integrated searchable database for samples.  That's the one feature that I love about my Waveframe rig and the main reason that I still use it.  The load requester allows me to search on a number of fields (name, category, comments, etc) then see a list of results and load the one that I want with a single click and never have to leave the main sampler interface.  There are some separate software cataloging solutions around but they have a clunky interface and aren't integrated into the sampling software.  This is a key feature for me and I would take a serious look at any hardware or software vendor that can implement it correctly.
 
I wish Peter luck with the 30a and I'm looking forward to future developments.
