Seems like they are about to learn what happens when you treat customers like consumers.

Ouch. I sure hope my EMU card doesn't cause me too much trouble.

Reminds me of CME...but nobody is as bad as they are. Not even Creative. Absolutely 0 support. None. Won't help or talk or write to anyone who is using their product.

So, I dropped the worthless USB drivers and using the UF8 directly through midi. Somewhat better, now I only have to deal with the fact that C# and D# play with a higher velosity than the rest, although none can ever get to 127 Shocked  Same as everyone else with the same board. Too bad too. Great ideas in that board, built like a tank. But, the company won't even acknowledge the issues.

btw, what's the nicest playing stage piano out there? Was playing a Roland RD 700sx the other day and really liked how it plays. Unfortunately, the price is a little steep.

Creative have done a 'Streisand'. Now everyone knows they were shafting their customers by deliberately hobbling hardware so that their customers would have to may more for an 'upgrade'.
