2 things I thought of, I'm surprised no one has suggested, and these could possibly be done with the current physical units 1 a calculator, very doable just requires firmware changes. 2 making it an external usb synthesizer, limitation there may be license fees from doubletalk. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael D.

Let's not do anything which makes this unit too big and, more importantly, more costly. $395 is a fair price to pay for this unit, and I would be very unhappy if this affordable unit started going up in price.

It is small enough to take anywhere I go, except to work, because I need my job!

And I wouldn't like to see this little unit enlarged. Part of its glory is so much capacity in so little physical space! Lois Goodine. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
