My feeling is, that they do good work and follow through on their
commitments. But it always takes a lot longer for them to reach the finish
line than they often idealize. I'm currently waiting, anxiously I might add,
for Kurzweil, SoundFont and ASR-10 translations to the EXS24. It'll
happen... one day. Sorry, Garth, but it's the truth. "Next week" was months
ago. But as always, keep on pushing and doing good work you guys. I am
looking forward to these capabilities, even if I have to wait a while. I
don't know which is better: never having hope that a product you need will
ever exist or being told that such a product is eminent and waiting an
agonizingly long time for it. This was the case with the EXS24. I heard of
its coming a year before it shipped, and did no music for an entire year
because I didn't want to invest any more effort in building up my ASR-10
library. I waited and it was worth it. The EXS24 was one of the first of
it's kind out of the gate and I got weeks worth of kits built in a matter of
a couple of days, and started making new music like crazy. I guess that's
how I feel about rubber chicken. Better late than never. -Jer
