Amazing how easy some of us find it to spend someone ELSE'S money!

Here's Scott trying to find out about the sound quality of a $1700 arranger, and some are simply saying 'Get the $3700 arranger'...

I know, from having them next to each other, that MOTL and TOTL Roland arrangers playing ostensibly the exact same patch, exact same style do NOT sound the same. I think a fair bit of it was better D/A converters, along with more sound ROM, allowing for longer samples before the loop, and maybe better quality effects sections (this was a G1000 next to a G600).

It would help Scott a LOT more if someone were as willing to be as objective about Yamaha arrangers, and do an unbiased critique of sheer sound quality playing the same named patch and style, rather than simply suggest forking out an extra $2000 without so much as a TRY at comparison...
