Lionstracs simply stated that the Mediastation could load/play a Tyros2 style and, using it's superior VST giga sounds, easily make it sound better than it did on the original instrument.

That's what I'm talking about.

This has been going on for several years, and it's no wonder people are skeptical, since not one demo to prove this claim was ever posted.

However, now according to some, the Mediastation's "superior" VST's should sound better than Yamaha's mega-voices...that may or may not be so, because, once again, no one has posted a demo to prove it...from those people, all we're getting is excuses.

Thanks Ian, I appreciate your clarification, as I am sure James does , but reading some posts from a "select few" makes me wonder sometimes??

We are only trying to give folks a better understanding of the Media Station, not enter in to some contest.

And I KNOW ( now) that that is not where you are coming from

But some of the negative, not to mention long-winded negative posts , gives me pause to scratch my head and wonder "why should I bother"...

As for the VST's sounding better than the Mega, well, in a way that is true.

The core samples used by a VST WILL sound better, after all they are multi gig samples (in some cases) up against samples measured in tens of mb, so they would WANT to sound better.

BUT, the way Yamaha have programmed the multi velocity switching, perfectly matching either plucked or strummed notes, blown notes, pizz and legato notes within a style, make them the standout that they are. The same can be said (to a lesser level) for the Korg RX as well. Sadly I think Roland have missed the boat entirely

Anyhoo, again, I appreciate your comments
