Until recently, the best piano and vibe sounds I ever heard from a keyboard were those created by the Yamaha PSR-5700, a 50-pound brute that broke my back every time I hoisted it onto the stand. However, those were the only two sounds that were good. Today's sounds, especially those sweet, live and super articulated voices, make the sounds of yesteryear pale by comparison. The sax sounds from keyboards manufactured a decade ago sounded more like someone playing a kazoo--they were awful. The guitar sounds fit into the same category, even when played by someone with incredible talent. Good organ sounds were out of the question, and things such as a growl sax, real sounding strings and live drum kits didn't exist. New and inovative technology has made all this possible, and for the most part, affordable. Yes, that G-1000 may still sound great, especially when playing midi files. But, post an MP3 of a Bill Doggett (spelling) version Honky Tonk using that G-1000's sax V/S the T2's sax and there's no comparison. For me, I'll take the new technology and sounds of today.
