The below link takes you to the press release for the cakewalk/roland v-studio 700, the control surface, audio interface and software that cakewalk is touting s the next big solution for musicians. I read up on this thing and I am floored. And since it works around sonar 8 producer, bundles rapture with sonar 8's dimension pro and even includes a Roland fantom equivalent synth onboard, would guess that this will be quite accessible. The price tag, at $4000 hurts, but I wonder if this would convince me to upgrade from my fw1884 since the hardware and software are integrated. Anyway, here's the info as per the press release. http://aes.harmony-central.com/125AES/Content/Cakewalk/PR/Cakewalk-SONAR-V-S tudio-700.html -- Damon Fibraio screen names -- aol: dfibraio...msn dfibraio@xxxxxxxxxxxx skype: dfibraio personal music site: http://www.keyboardguy.com.
