I don't know what to think of this. Huge props and kudos for having the courage and the skills to perform this mod at all. But then again - you have too much money or something? The Force is not cheap. Or maybe you just have rock solid skills. And then again, why the heck do you do this, it makes no sense. The Force doesn't need more memory, unless you use lots of the fscking paid memory hog plugins. Why do you use paid plugins at all, to begin with. You should be using and making your own samples. Is this for actual music making, or a weird electronics hobby project. Anyway, a proof of concept is there now, and now we know a memory upgrade is possible, if for some reason someone would want one.

Ask these questions to the dude that made the video.
Also not everyone uses the devices the way you do. I'm not anti-plugin. I got all of them & will buy more in the future.
Don't stress out over stuff like this. Life is short & death is forever. This issue is not that deep to me.
