Sorry, James, but most players don't need to hear something sound amazing to make their Big 3 arrangers sound good... They simply switch them on, select a style, and just PLAY. And it DOES sound good.

All this is demonstrating is that, unless you ARE a professional demonstrator, skilled in all aspects of playing AND voicing a complex arranger, you shouldn't even BOTHER with the MS unless all you want to do is play a few VSTi live.

Dom doesn't need to hire you (or any professional demonstrator) to merely make a 'proof of concept' demo. He needs to hire you (or a whole TEAM of great professionals) to do all the voicing and styling so that you can switch the MS on, and have the same experience that any normal arranger player does with a Big 3 product. If the MS did this, and THEN had all the advantages that it does over a 'closed' arranger, the world would be beating a path to his door.

But he's too cheap, too lazy, too arrogant, too blind to see that, without this, only the most experienced, best programmers in the world are going to be able to make anything sonically better than the dross we have so far heard. And, let's face it, the best, most experienced player/programmers in the world got better things to do than waste their time voicing and styling a product like this, when there are already PLENTY of products out there that sound great without having to waste all that time.

I have said, for the longest time, that unless Dom licenses quality VSTi like Colossus, Bandstand, GPO etc., and then develops styles specifically for them, all you are ever going to get is poor translations played by unbalanced soundsets. Who wants that?
