Excuse me? Were you absent during Dennis's (Miden) odyssey through MS-land? Here's one of the MOST hardcore arranger users on our forum, a professional, who found the MS completely unusable as a live arranger...

Sadly, I think that the reason we haven't had any hardcore arrangers post great music on the MS is that hardcore users don't NEED to buy one to prove to themselves that the whole thing is pointless. Me, I can tell from the factory demos that, firstly, the ROM sounds and styles are a joke (and Dennis said this too), and that this thing is NOT set up OS-wise as a serious arranger... No Bass Inversions, for instance! A feature on some of the cheapest arrangers out there, and one essential to performing music well. This thing is a cobbled together mishmash of computer parts and Linux programming by a techno-geek that CAN'T PLAY MUSIC WELL How on earth are you supposed to design an arranger, if you don't even know what arranger players NEED?

And, the FIRST thing we need is for it to work well OOTB. Because the number of people qualified to turn it into something that doesn't sound like the POS we have all heard for the last few years wouldn't be enough to keep Dom in gas money, let alone keep the company afloat. It becomes all too apparent that the only people buying and trying to use an MS are those too unskilled and inexperienced to know how hard this thing is going to be to work. Or those, like Dennis, that continue to listen to the legion of MS fanboys that either CAN'T make good music on it themselves (but continue to support it rather than admit they have been duped), or don't even HAVE one, but continue to argue for it because, IN THEORY, it OUGHT to work well...

How is YOUR MS coming along, to the genesys?

Yep, that's what I thought...

It is WAY past time that the only recommendation and support for the MS should come from owners who can actually DEMONSTRATE that it is all they claim.
