The Axon NGC, the AXON AX and the FTP are three generations with totally
different hardware technology. While the essential software of the NGC and
the AX were almost identical (at source code level, both 32 bit), the FTP
software is totally different, not only the implementation (16 bits, but
1000 times faster DSP processing), but also the algorithms.

This means that ideally the Triple Play requires a multitimbral synthesizer,
with at least 13 timbres, and arbitrarily adjustable pitch bend range. As
far as I know there are no synthesizers with such specification since GM
(General MIDI). But GM synthesizers went out of fashion and are not
manufactured in the last ten years or more.

Thanks Gregor!

These posts explain a lot. It seems it is the same hardware technology only
with much greater processing power such that it is optimized.

 

In one older post he says (To paraphrase)there is not a hardware sound
generator available that would work well with the triple play. 

 

But now they have come out with a floor unit for this purpose, so I guess
whatever obstacles were there must be gone now.I wonder what they were?
