Groovyband Live! cannot be classified under the soft synths. It is also definitely not a supplier of new styles.

The sole purpose for really using Groovyband Live! is to make an older PSR sound MUCH more in line with a SX900 or even a Genos using the much older Yamaha style engine.

If you cannot verify the above by simply either playing with the free demo version or by listening to the numerous demos posted, then you are purely biased - period!

Please do not try to play the two brands against each other. Both developers are extremely talented, but they target different markets.

1. Because I have a PSR S770 only
2. Because I would love a SX900/Genos
3. Because I could NOT! afford the upgrade
4. I've found in Groovyband Live! the total solution to my personal scenario

And just because I did, I have no intention of going around stirring or bashing another product as I have no hidden motives and do not suffer from tunnel vision.

I'd rather spend my energy in demonstrating the specific product I use by posting demos that I've created with it personally. Why don't the rest of you follow suite? Demo your preferred product to us - this way we all learn & we all grow. Talk is cheap yet is so carelessly & ceaselessly dished out...

Some of you own the one product but not the other, some invested in neither - what are you basing your facts upon when you make your statements? Live and let live. Divide the total earth population by the number of current users of the above and you just MIGHT realize there is ample market for both developers to expand their respective products.
