It all boils down to a matter of taste isn't it?

Speaking for myself, I wouldn't want to have to edit sounds just to make them as they "should" be. Why? I just don't know how and maybe I am too lazy to learn now.

But in my naivette, and not having touched a G70, I believe that a keyboard should sound "good" (whatever that means for anyone here) right out of the box, so I can play, as Spalding wants.

I also believe that Roland can make a product sound "good" just like a producer makes a CD "sound good" for the majority of listeners. Some would like a little more overdrive guitar in song No3, and some would like to add some reverb to the vocals in song No15 but generally the producer wants to please the most and acts accordingly.

From the posts here, and elsewhere in the forum, it seems that Roland's "producers" didn't do that, or am I missing something?

In this page, we seem to have two different opinions: (I didn't dare look in the previous pages)
Diki and To the Genesys want the master tapes of song No3 so they can remix to their hearts content, Vano and Spalding, just want to pop the CD in the player and listen. I would probably want the same.

Is anyone of us wrong or right here? I don't know. Why the hell did I write all this? I don't know either
