Sup everyone?
Okay, I recently sold off all my gear to start re-building a new one. I was about to buy the RM1X with the SU700. But recently I came across the YAMAHA RS7000 workstation:

This thing look like a fuggin monster of a "dance-workstation" Part RM1X and part SU700. It seems to have been built from the RM1X
architecture and the SU700 [although less sampling time can be held, they've added a SCSI port on the back for ZIP drive possibilities to import and export samples As well as the use of a Smart Media card in front!]
Also, from what I've gathered, this system will also be compatible with ROLAND's GM system as announced at this years NAMM coinvention. It should be coming out early Summer -- late Spring?
Anyway, it seems Yamah hasn't got much information online about this creature yet, so if you've got an inside angle with this sequenser/sampler I'd really like to hear more. Thanks!
