The updates that Dominik has bought out recently have certainly continue to improve the Mediastation - but the styles are - in my opinion - not usable - I know he is working on new ones and these can't come out soon enough ...New styles and some better sounds and we are set...I am sure the updates will continue to come and the MS will get better and better.. Mark!
Still not convinced...... but perhaps a more professional player could coax better from the styles. There are many weird 'jumps' in the styles and volume problems (but I think most of those come from the live playing on the top of the style).
I wish that Domenik would go to the Tyros2 site, or the E80 demo page, and take a long HARD listen to those demos. They are VERY well mixed and played, and show off their arranger's capabilities to the highest extent possible. To demonstrate just how good the styles can be on the Mediastation, I would not rest until the Mediastation's demos were AT LEAST as good. It is hard to back up a claim that the Mediastation is so much better than T2 when the factory demos are as lame as that. On paper is one thing, but I guarantee that everyone at SZ judges an arranger more by the online demos than by paper specs.
I am NOT saying the Mediastation is not capable of blowing all other arrangers out of the water, but if the factory demos can't do it, how can you convince us of the fact? Spend more money, Domenik.... Hire the best arranger player in Europe, let him tweak the Mediastation to sound as good as your promises. Then watch the orders come flooding in.....
