Thanks, everybody.
That took me ten minutes from start to post.
Fran, I went out of my way to do NOTHING that a first time user wouldn't do. Familiarity had nothing to do with it. I picked a random style hit the OTS button and started playing. There are absolutely NO non factory edits, nothing other than hitting OTS1 (which turns sync start on automatically) and playing. Just like you, or anyone else here at SZ pulling it out of the box for the first time would do.
You've had your MS for how many days? And still can't even find the volume faders? I never touched mine for this demo, I wanted you to know this is OOTB.
I am sure so many of our members could do as good (or better!) with just about any modern arranger out there. The T2 would have a field day with the guitars, and sax sounds, the Korgs have great synth sounds and percussion. I am not saying this is the be-all and end-all of arrangers.
BUT...... it blows your MS away (for now!). Hopefully, Domenik is reading this (still bored?) and can now see the problem. Get your styles to this level, and the west will beat a path to your door (with me in the front!).
And yes, it would have been nice to put a repeat of the changes on a Chord sequencer and REALLY open your eyes to what you can play with two hands.
Domenik.... if you can add a clone of the Roland Chord Sequencer to the MS's OS, I will buy one tomorrow (and I know of at least two others who'll join me!). How's that?
