My arranger work has long been posted at Roland-arranger. There's really only a couple of straight ahead arranger recordings (I work primarily as one half of a duo or full band work), one of which is the OOTB Bossa demo, and the other is a Joe Zawinul tune, done in Piano mode.

I make no claim to be the greatest piano player ever, but am fairly confident that anyone that wants to get an impression of the G70's sound can see past my mistakes, and quite easily hear the G70's basic sound.

Plus I don't make the outrageous claim that my G70 could not POSSIBLY be fully appreciated unless you actually sat in front of it (as a reason why I would NEVER actually post a demo!).

I don't ask for anything I would not do myself, and I don't scrutinize any one brand of arranger any harder than any other. At least two current MS owners claim music industry credentials greater than mine, hence my suspicions when they refuse to actually demonstrate their opinions.

If someone is trying to talk you into getting a car like theirs, but refuse under any circumstances to let you ride in it, you start to get leery of their claims. Hopefully, this may change soon, and if a quality style demo OOTB gets posted, trust me, I will be the FIRST to acknowledge it. Even if the playing is poor, as long as the style rocks, the sounds rock and there aren't any weird glitches, I think I'm pretty capable of discerning the difference between the machine and the man.

That's all I would expect of anybody listening to anyone's demos, including my own...
