Many new hardware modules allow changing and adding samples. The Juno-G is one of the most expandable synths I have owned.


That's nice to hear, and a step in the right direction for synth development. You'll agree it's fairly advanced behavior, though.

I still have a custom GM font on one system here that is still holding an SBLive card in a second or third slot... man I'm going to miss PCI slots...


The funeral has to be postponed for PCI slots, year after year. I recently upgraded a motherboard and found that boards with 3 PCI slots were considerably more easily available that they were three years ago! Lots of them now. There was a truly huge choice of mini boards with 2 such slots, and a bunch of super-cheap junkers with one slot. Virtually nothing except a few expensive, futuristic boards lacked PCI slots entirely. I'm convinced PCI slots are going to be available for years longer.

I was also interested to see that virtually every board still has PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, too. That's another thing they keep telling us is obsolete. But it isn't.
