I can only say that, after listening to CD's, and their equivalent MP3's (my iTunes collection) I am INTIMATELY aware of what the MP3 encoding process does to raw audio. One thing I can state without the slightest hesitation is that the encoding process has NEVER made anything that sounded great in the first place cease to sound great, and anything that sounded lousy as an MP3 didn't sound any major bit better when listened to as a CD..
In other words, if it sounds like crap on an MP3, it will NEVER sound like gold at full bandwidth. It will simply sound like slightly (very slightly!) better crap....
.... Until I hear a quality sounding OOTB demo from the MS or Wersi (I am NOT a 'home organ' music fan!) online, I am NOT going to drive any distance to hear those in person.
DIKI I totally agree with you!
the truth is that the MS Audio boards are only fakes...
http://www.lionstracs.com/data/images/MSExpansioninsideweb.jpg there you can see that we use only a 8bit DA convertes with only 40dB dynamic range.
the fact is that we have to save money in production more as possible and we try to find only recycled 30 years components.
So...when then I run this CRAP and stupid ASIO under 8bit digital mode, for correct the arranger audio parts, is normally that then the final result is CRAP too:
Of course then when I add over the style this CRAP ASIO ( we use a special revert enginer version for get a totally CRAP sounds)the result is more CRAP:
Hey..do not forget that under the MS are working ONLY this VST:
http://www.lionstracs.com/store/information_pages.php?info_id=24 CRAP version ONLY, the original that you will buy on the store, are NOT working. You have to ask to the special MS CRAPPY version only.
So..what you hear in the Mp3 demos are much better high quality than the MS audio outputs, because we editing the all Mp3 demos with TON of additional effects to return back with a discrete Crappy sounds.
How you told before too, depend then who and how will play the demo on the keyboard...
Of course, instead to use the Top keyboard TP8SK from fatar, we use ONLY the recycled 76 keys from the SIEL keyboards
http://www.vintagesynth.com/misc/sieldk700.jpg Is for that the MS have so a deeph and old analog crap sounds.
Who know...maybe Miden and the all others that have ordered a promo MS I shipping one SIEL keyb and then you DIKI finally can you laugh...
MS...crap....fraud...warmed up soup...who know? Better not risk and buy a T3 or G-70...
