Ok that explains part of it.... But what are your thoughts, opinions on the E80 Craig......

After sharing my G70 opinions a year or so back on here, which went down like the Titanic, I'll keep my E80 opinions to myself and let you guys decide if an E80 is for you or not

Oh common Craig....we're all friends here

Bebop would u mind please sending me some of your latin styles that have been converted from G70/E80 to Tyros 2?

i have styles that have been straight out converted but the sound selection isnt right, I have tried to get mine as best as possible but they sound no where near as good as the onboard T2 styles. I am curious to listen to yours to see how much different yours are?

i am not in any way bashing Roland styles here, but we all now how styles sound when played through different boards...

Craig is a Wersiplayer now.

WERSI?

Common Craig post a few demos with your new AX...I hear so much about this (Abacus?)or?

Tell us about it .

Sorry Wis but you are wrong there, I do not have a Wersi any more.
I did have the Abacus pro, but it arrived faulty and after a few repairs and 2 months later it went back because the shop I got it from was very poor when it came to customer relations and support plus on boot up the organ sounds never loaded into the instrument
The Wersi had great sounds, bad internal styles which I knew about, it played T2 styles great but the operating system is bug ridden.

The E80 is a good machine and has very good in your face styles, but I kept finding myself going back to the T2 which I prefer anyday over the Roland. It's all down to your own taste and what you want out of a machine.
The digital piano that I have purchased is the Kawai CP136.

Craig thanx for the very Honest opinions which is needed here.....you tell it like it is .....at least you gave it a shot with other gear & that's what its all about M8...
congrats with your new KB ...enjoy & make music!

Craig did you have OAS7 on your Wersi and what did you think of the sounds overall?

Also how well did it convert or play T2 styles ? There is so little info that we can get about this fascinating instrument ! Sorry i just hijacked he thread ! just mail me with your answers Craig.

I did have the OAS 7 yes. The sounds are very good and have a lovely warmth to them. It's hard to describe, but it's something only Wersi can do. They have that certain sound which tells you it's a Wersi straight away. There are the few exceptions as on all keyboards but not many bad sounds at all. The internal styles are quite bland, typical organ stuff and not in the same league as top end arrangers, but they are more than passable and certainly not like the ones you hear in the MS
The T2 and Yamaha styles do not need converting if you buy and install the OAA software which isn't cheap. I saw this in action and it does a very good job of playing them back. A little bit of tweaking is involved for some and although they still sound better on the T2 itself as expected, the OAA is leagues ahead of the other style convertors eg. EMC Styleworks doesn't come close to this.
It's a shame mine had faults as the machine was growing on me, but I wouldn't consider getting another because the VST's which I wanted to use are a right pain to get working. It's far easier if you are into VST's to use your PC and midi a keyboard to it rather than attempt to play them from the Wersi.
