Between 25 and 35 US$.. It won't be released before it's perfect though and
several pianists are currently assisting me in the getting it as close as
possible to the real thing. The Audigy/Audigy2 version for windows will be
done first. After than a tiMIDIty version 'might' be made together with the
VSampler 3 version.

What I've currently interrested in is if there is any interrest for such a
product for use under Linux..
