Rumour: What will bring Clavia to the MusikMesse?

3phase, u sure mean 512MB?

And for wavetables, typical tables are only 128samples x 128 waves deep (or 32KB for 16bit samples), that's tiny compared to the 4MB for each DSP now. And also a good portion of the wavetables are fixed ("standard" waveforms), so the burden on the flash is even less.

For sampling, it's dead easy - just "pre-charge" a sampler/delay module (already existing) with data from the flash/patch, rather than overwriting the RAM with zero as is done now.

Although, ideally, I'd like to see a 2-part module: 1 sample module holds/loads the sample, while multiple pointer modules can reference the sample in that module (ie- seperate read/write pointers for each pointer module...allows basic sampling, complex pitch-shift algorythms, wavetables, and even grainular synthesis!). This would not be difficult or mind-blowing to implement. Then there could be a basic limit of 16 (or similar) sample modules per patch, limiting the complexity of what pointer modules are actually pointing at.

I would have thought that it would be highly unlikely that Clavia will put sampling in the G2. It makes no business sense to do that.

However, I would imagine that a brand new G3 is more likely to come next or sometime in the future. I'm sure that Clavia are fully aware of how much this desire for sampling is. The Nord Wave I think is perhaps the beginning of this new technology. and Clavia need a more 'vanilla' (although calling it vanilla is a bit below the belt) product before they release another modular type product.

I love Clavia They get us all speculating and then blow us all out of the water by producing a dynamite product that isn't quite what we were hoping for, but almost perfectly wonderful as it is

I wonder if they worked in the automobile industry beforehand?

I still don't understand the demand for "adding sampling" to the G2. What does this mean, really? You want to make the G2 a sample-playback machine?

[jksuperstar]

Not just "sample playback", but having oscillators that can do things that the current oscillator set can't do. Which can mean new forms of synthesis (rather than based solely on analog modeling), and in other cases can mean improvements in DSP used in current algorithms.

I know, Clavia's thing has almost always been "virtual analog", but with the new wave keyboard, maybe they are recognizing the digital forms of synthesis that haven't had an analog counterpart as well. Having these things in the G2 may also help themselves, to develop better algorithms for their other synths. I've heard rumors before this was how/why the original NM1 was conceived.

The main thing that I don't have a G2 is... That it's replicating what analog already can do (and better IMHO). With Kyma you can doing stuff that analogs cannot do! This is where Kyma excels!
