New Worstation released FA 06/08

Post by Quinnx. »

Some specs:

Still just 128 poly

Unlimited sample access direct from SD Card
Which obviously breaks the memory limit barrier
and makes sound access alot more flexible.

Not much info on DAW part, though it would be nice if it did the same for audio tracks
in that it records and playsback directly from the Card.
again breaking the internal memory limit and of course that means song access would be instant with no need
to pre-load samples.

Im assuming the USB audio is once again only 2 channel stereo
but with dedicated track fX you may get away with it.

There is an interesting suggestion that you can discretely bounce down both midi and audio without the need to playback.
1 thing that is not clear is, although you can sample, playback and trigger these
there is no information weather or not we can integrate them into a sound patch.
Given that its told that the sound engine is integra compatible for downloading patches
i fear we may not have this ability (hope its not true.)

Price:
Looks like its going to be ver low cost too

If all the above is true then Id say its got potential
in both portability and as a quick scratchpad for songs.
