I here ya.  On the other hand, I note that in order to control the gains on 
this control surface, you have to do that from a software dialog box.  Not sure 
if that will be accessible either.  If this has been developed by Roland, and 
they have implemented this in a similar way to V-Vocal then accessibility to 
put it mildly could be well, interesting.

  It's possible, but it seems like it is a glorified control surface and audio 
interface for sonar. The only mention of displays refer to a seven segment led 
for now time and a 2 line 13 character display for markers and whatnot, but it 
runs off good old sonar. If I had $4000, I'd wait until cT for sonar 8 came out 
and take a chance as this seems like it would work well, but then again, I 
don't, so I'm waiting anyway. <grin>

  Phil replied: I wouldn't count on it.  Neither Tim Burgess or others 
interested in accessibility have taken a look at it yet and so are not in a 
position to comment.  My advice, don't spend any money until some of us have 
had a chance to try it out.  For all we know, this thing could have wraparound 
menus, lots of multipurpose menus etc.

    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.
