Have to say the service from these guys has been superb - and yep, really looking forward to getting my hands on the MS - Report will follow...

Congratulations Mark, at least you won't have to wait as long as I did.

I started pestering Domenik about an 88 key version of his Mediastation Pro keyboard a couple of months before he even designed it. Guess that is why I got the prototype. LOL

He sent me a picture of mine before it shipped as well. I am certain no other manufacturer will give this kind of attention.

Congratulations Mark,

Welcome to aboard of mediastation users.

I hope you will find in MS so many interesting things as me.

Best regards.

Some kind of price point would help clarify the cost/benefit ratio of these instruments.

Just like Wersi, while these instruments are very technically advanced, are they still at the price point that puts them basically out of reach for the average working (or average retired!) musician?

Hell. I thought my G70 was far more than I wanted to pay!

Well when I had a look at a European website's prices, they were (from memory) between 1,600 Euros and 3,500 Euros - which I think means around High 2000's (Aust Dollars) to 6-7,000...

Which is around, what, $1,500 - $5,000 US.

These are my own dodgy calculations, but even if I'm a little off - it STILL seems comparable to (and downright cheaper than) the G-70 - depending on the model you get of course!

Btw Domenik - if you're still reading - I ordered online my Demo CD of the Mediastation from the Lionstracs website - apparently this is a free instant dowload, but I've recieved no email confirmation, or download link (that I can see) or anything - what's going on???

Just remember to factor in the cost of the VSTs you want - several hundred each, to several thousand dollars, depending on which.......

Well that sucks.

I thought it was an open system?

Can I not import any sound I want - or am I mis-understanding things here?

You can import most anything, but the good VSTi's cost bucks.... I don't see the point in buying an expensive arranger, and then loading it with cheap, crappy freeware VSTi's.

Once you order the free download all you do is log in and choose to "view orders" you will then see a link to the download - the demo is about 600mb, the download is ready almost immediately from when you order it,
