Too bad the SD cards are in a proprietary format. I would have considered buying one had I been able to load my own sounds as PCM wave, or even with a conversion utility.

andy – what the heck are you talking about?
I asked about Neosynth availability on the Waveidea forum a couple of months ago and mid-October was tenuously slated. I hit their website looking for news occasionally but I can’t find any updates – although CME are never quick out of the blocks! I also think that the closed-format thing probably isn’t the brightest idea anyone’s ever had and if I was buying a synth expansion card I’d like a little more thrown in than just a GM soundset. Depending on the quality of the hardware I’d probably be happy to pay a little more if the package included an editor so I could roll myown soundbanks, rather than rely on a company that updates it’s site once per milennium.
Postscript:
I just took a look at the Waveidea online shop. Out of four listed products, two have been discontinued and one is out of stock. Oh dear.
Same shizzle, different year. Is this vapourware, or what?
Ba be DANGE,…
Would you so kind to tell me where I can buy NeoSynth, Synth-On-A-Card For CME Keyboard Controllers
