Ban you for what? No-one should be ashamed of ANY of these pianos, or their arranger. Maybe we all just need to take a step back, take a deep breath, then go back to talking about arrangers and the like as if it wasn't a bloody religion, OK?

Actually you DIDN'T say "I like its brilliance vs the other warmer patches". You just said "T2 Warm - WOW!". If that's what you MEANT, maybe you could have posted that... I thought you were saying you liked the Warm Piano, for being as described. My bad. Ban me, too!

The thing is, all the T2 pianos demoed there are the same piano sample set. The 'warm' in the title just implies that perhaps a little EQ or filter is taming the sound, a little bit (not much, IMO!), but the fact is, if the piano sampled is a bright one (as Yamaha's tend to be) and it is recorded with mikes that emphasize that (as it seems to me), there really isn't much you can do to make it into a warm piano.

Same with making a warm piano into a really bright one (but again IMO, it's easier than making a bright one warm).

But let's all stop acting like their mommas just got dissed, just because someone is critical of a piano sound. It's called criticism, it's one of the reasons we're here, to talk about the pros and cons of arrangers. If the thought of someone not agreeing with you is painful, well, you got two solutions. Either post another, different critique (I'm not going to get indignant if you & Ian don't think the G70's piano is best!), or don't post at all. But no-one's calling your sister a ho', it just piano talk, OK?
