Gentlemen!
Allow me to secure facts for you. Yes...it's real. This machine will MAP for $1999.
Picture if you will, the 2000XL...being able to add a hard drive...ram up to 128MB (instead of 32MB)...being able to add cdrom...but it comes WITH the IB-M208P. That alone will merit the 2000xl$1699 MAP from the 2500 $1999 MAP. Keep in mind...this is a 16bit sampler. 4000plus...a 24bit sampler. This unit is a 2000XL with all the trimmings. (for more money, of course)
This of course will in no way harm the 4000. The folks who still want the best...will buy the best.
Ditch the 1000? NO WAY!! I'm keeping mine! It's a great tool, with tons of great options. The point of the entry/mid/pro level piece is perfect. This item is more towards the mid range if anything. It's not close to the 1000 or 4000. (maybe a little close to the 2000XL)
Check our website within the next week for the official "Unveiling".
Let me know if you need any more specs on the piece in the meantime.
Isn't this exciting????
