And Dennis, I stand by my remarks (always have... I don't post 'em if I don't mean 'em!)...

What reason do YOU have for all the MS owners on here refusing to post even ONE user demo?

I agree with you that, for the price, the MS will make a GREAT Receptor alternative, and wish you the best of luck with it, and look forward to hearing what it can do. But I am going to get AWFULLY suspicious if, once you get it in your hands, you suddenly join the ranks of those that hide behind the "you'll never know until you hear it in person' crowd (like the above).

Until this discount sale, there have been at least three MS owners on this forum. Not ONE of which has been able to come forward and proudly go 'look what I did with MY MS...!'

I have long taken this as very indicative of whether it IS easy or not to make great music on the MS... No-one with a T2, PA2Xpro or G70/E80 has had ANY problem feeling secure enough about their arranger's sound to post a user tune. I simply take that as, if not PROOF, certainly a strong indicator (even the designer/inventor can't manage it, or get a pro to succeed).

Hopefully, now the number that own one around here has more than doubled, we are finally going to get some reliable (read 'more than words') examples of it's capabilities and OOTB sound. OF COURSE I wasn't referring to you in the above post. You haven't got yours yet. But there is NO doubt that all those that already DO have them have been extremely reticent about backing up their gushing. I am just praying that that trend doesn't continue...
