Yeah, right. Yamaha programmers being used to *refine* a product that's
already released. That's not the way it works. In Japan, they don't
improve existing products over time - they just release new, better ones.
Sorry Rob, won't happen. Unless something *drastic* changes in the way
Yamaha manages their engineering teams (the engineers would *love* to be
able to do this, believe me), its just not the Way of Yamaha.
Having said that, remember that the SU700 is really designed for one
purpose - to do realtime beatshifting, temp changes, and remixing of
samples. It's not a sampler in the traditional sense, its a *phrase*
sampler. Same technology, different technique.
