Damned, my hearing must really be shot to Hell. I really like the sound of the S-950 drum kits, and so do my audiences. But, of course, my audiences are all over 50 years old, at least most of them, therefore, their hearing is shot to Hell equally as bad as mine cause they're old codgers.

And USB 3.0 - we really need the USB drive to be larger, have more wires, run hotter and cost more. BUT IT'S FASTER! OK!

Lets see now, 40 audio styles - OK with me. I love every one of them I've tried so far, but I also like an enormous number of older MIDI based styles as well. Now, there are some players on this forum that claim they only need 10 good styles and they're set for the night. Not me baby! I want all I can get and then some. I want every song to sound much different than the others, and I want that difference to be distinct. So, with 40 audio styles, and access to 50,000 additional, high-quality styles, I think that sounds just about right.

3 less drum kits - How damned many do you need? C'mon, gimme a break!

You know, this thread is beginning to sound like the same old BS from the same people that will never buy a T5 anyway. They have already stated that in thousands of posts. They've already condemned the T5 to death, yet haven't heard the first demo, let alone put their pudgy little fingers upon those lightweight, plastic, unweighted keys that everyone is supposed to hate because they said they're no good. And of course, they are the most authoritative players of arranger keyboards to ever grace the Internet. Don't believe this is the case - they'll soon tell you in the next few posts.

Wait till the damned thing arrives and someone authoritative provides us with a detailed report of what he or she discovers. I would much rather hear from George Kay or his New England counterpart about the attributes of the T5 than someone that just read a spec sheet and now considers themselves instant experts.

Cheers,

Gary
