I totally agree. It seems to me that the Falcon030 is optimized for music
music music. With some converters and software it will operate just like
a $2000 dedicated sampler. I don't know if anyone is writing this software,
but I DO know that Digital FX (the company the owns Hybrid Arts) is working
on a Falcon version of their direct to disk recording software. To do that on a
Mac requires aa $1000 Audiomedia ][ card which is not as flexible. In addition,
the Falcon will do real-time digital effects. A dedicated effects box could
cost $500-$1000 easily. The Falcon also has built-in MIDI ports.
To tell you the truth, I just ordered a Macintosh, because don't see the
Falcon as a good main computer. If I get a Falcon, I will view it as an
impotant addition to my musical gear and a game machine. I'm not going to
use it for spreadsheets.
