Well, not exactly the same as those in the oasys because I am using the STR-1 Modelled Guitar sounds which are very different in the way you can manipulate the sounds in real time compared to simplier sampled guitar sounds like those found in other keyboards.. Even the Oasys's own sampled guitar sounds.. which are very good, are nothing like as realistic as those created using the new EXi STR-1 Expansion that came free with V1.1 upgrade.
Having spent a good deal of time working with both the G70 and T2.. I can honestly say that the Oasys's modelled sounds are by far the best for creating realistic sounding guitars and other stringed instruments... but you can get close using the T2.. You just don't have the same kind of flexibility in choosing.. say the type of Amp and Speaker Cabinet to be modelled, as you can with the Oasys.. or the type of pickup and how many.. and where they are situated in relation to the fretboard.... It's that kind of detail which a modelled instrument allows.. and that's what makes the Oasys special.. in terms of creating real'ish sounding guitars in live perfomances.. It's also worth noting.. that I didn't sequence anything in those demos.. everything was played live using Karma 2 built into the Oasys.. and live lead lines played over the top.
If anyone would like more details.. just ask and I'll respond!
Cheers..
