Hello Ensare you, IrishActs, Others;

I may be wrong but I don't think that Diki is complaining about the right hand sounds generated using Giga samples or Vst, or at least I not. They are good. I think the point of contention is the quality of sound coming from the styles in the arranger. What I am trying to understand is if I can remap those Giga samples Akai files, Vst etc.. to the GM/GS banks so that the Mediasations current GM sound bank can be greatly improved. For instance, take a high quality guitar sample from a Vst or giga sample (electric and acoustic) and remap it to the Mediastations Guitar GM sound set so that an excellent quality strumming guitar can be used in the styles ( i.e. similar to the G-70, Tyros, Audya strumming guitar styles).

Diki states that it can't be done because it is not just a simple GM/GS remap but a more complicated process that requires ---"There are, for starters, about four different samples per note in even my G70. So, you have to match whatever substitute kit to carefully cross-switch at the same point, to roughly the same type samples. No small task, just that. Then there are non-standard 'ghost' notes, ruffs, tom-tom flams (some velocity switched, some on separate notes) and a host of extra sounds well outside the GM/GS standard. That's WHY modern arrangers sound so good... there's MUCH more detail and nuance available."

While IrishActs states that a simple remap can be done, Diki does not seem to think the end results will be a style that is as good as the current TOTL arrangers.

Spalding posed a request to Irishacts, but he stated that what Spalding was asking could not be done.

So I am confused as to the fact, can it be done, and will it sound the same or hopefully better then the current crop of TOTL arranger styles.

Perhaps if IrichActs or someone could do this with one or two styles to show others the effect that such a remapping can make on the quality of the style in the mediastation. I think that would assist many members here that are unsure of the arranger portion of the keyboard.

Again I don't think there is a point of contention with the solo voices in the right hand.

Thank-you for your help
