This card is all that has been advertised as, and then some. It really is an MU100R on a card with audio recording and 12 track playback plus 5 fx busses! For around $550! I've had mine for a year and half and there's still nothing to compare to it.
The downsides of this device are simply small technical compromises -- the synth sounds and the onboard fx are overly sterile. Though you CAN liven them up, they always seem to have a sharp edge. The quantity and quality of what is there for the money is simply astounding, though. The only other negative is the difficulty in recording through the fx -- there are some things I just don't want to record dry (compression and exciter on vocals, for instance) and the SW won't let you. I would recommend holding on to at least one multi-fx box and a good compressor.
The SW1000 can do everything else, and that's still an awful lot for very little.

Ok, the SW1000XG sounds great. Can anyone tell me where it can be purchased online? THanks

I give it a big thumbs up. Great synth, 12 channels of audio, 6 seperate effects blocks(deadicated eq, chorus and reverb, 2 inserts, 1 variation). Plus the plug in system....I have the plg150-AN and am completely impressed. The sounds are phat. Gotta hear it to believe it...
By the way, Off Axis, Atari????? I think your definition of a synth is a little dated, this isnt the 80's anymore.....

This card is awesome from its specs. I have not used all of its sounds yet.. I am not sure if I ever need all of them. hehe.:) To set it up with Cubase VST/24 was a bit pain, that is only I had no clue what I was doing at the time. Yamaha's support f*&!ing kicks ass. They responded within 10 hrs. And I had some question regarding a software they recommanded, XGedit, they forwarded my email to the AUTHOR of the software, and BAM!!! it fixed all of my problems. Their support owns. hehe.
