Korg Microtonal PCI PhM & Sampling Machine

John Loffink just pointed me to this new Korg PCI sound card with arbitrary
tuning tables, using physical modeling and sampling. Looks pretty cool at a
quick glance:

From the Korg web page:

>The OASYS PCI's Scales allow any incoming MIDI note to create
>any pitch, with a resolution of one cent (1/100 of a semitone).
>You can create stretch tunings, historic European
>tunings, scales with greater or fewer than 12 tones per octave,
>and more. Tuning can be specified separately for each of the 128
>MIDI notes, and each Patch in a Program may have
>its own Scale.
>
>Scales are text files, so you can create and edit them
>using any standard text editing program, such as SimpleText.
>You can add as many custom Scales as desired.

I hope they implement this on a sound module soon!
[if they haven't already]

This product has not shipped yet, so still in vaporware status, although it
is promised to ship soon.

Synthony music (800-221-KEYS) says the card will retail for $1760ish.
Wowzers.
