I just wanted to run a suggestion by you and see what you think of it. In your statement you mentioned you dont really care for the arranger and how powerful the MS is as a synth. Keeping that in mind you actually have a good chance now to tap into the market with something that no one else is doing, BUT this feature has been requested MANY times from all the synth makers.
Lets go on what you said about not really being too interested in the arranger. Well for YEARS synth players have been asking for the ability to have preset drum patterns that are triggered like an arranger keyboard. I agree the MS is a freakin beast when you look at it's power as a synth..., but you could tap that market for those who have been wanting to have 100's of preset drum patterns with dedicated controls like an arranger keyboard. I can't tell you how many times I've read requests for this feature. You could then just find a really good person at writing the drum patterns.., you could even go as far as making it several tracks.., and even leaving one OPEN for the user to record their own bass line to be triggered like an arranger.
Anyways..., just a suggestion.
Best Regards,
Squeak
hello Squeak
you don't have understand what I want to say.
is NOT that I'm not interesting to develope more features on Qranger side, we are all the day here to commit new features on this amazing arranger engine.
Qranger is also the right SEQ for the groove box and pattern box, for this do not have limitation at all.
Is only me, that personally i don't care to much to gig live with midi styles, because the double MS players audio-midi and the qranger organized under goove box-Songs player I have enough!
I prefer to play with a SEQ songs mode instead to use the style, because then i can play with two hands the whole keyboard how I like.
The Mediastation is the only keyboard in the open view and can be used for different situation.
can be for a style player, Mp3 player, midi file player, Video player Or only like a super ASIO synth or much better for the classical Pianist that are looking for the best quality GIGA Pianos.
We sold the Clavinuovo in one big hotel, where there play ONLY the Piano sounds, they don't care at the all others features.
The MS but be open system and to be adapt to any musician.
Other brand prefer to sell different keyboards product for each type of musician necessity.
Example: why i have to buy now a Triton, M3, Motif, Fantom..when now I can load the desidered ASIO or VST plugin integrated on the MS panel?
there you like the T3, for sure amazing styles, BUT a poor and limited sampler.
G-70 is perfect for the midi only, but no sampler at all..
PA800 is a good mix, but to slow to load some MB of Sampler before ready to play...
Is a compromise, you have to choose what you like better.
the MS is a totally different product and sounds different too, but can be adapt to any situation.
You buy one time and then is ONLY OS update for years and every time more new features, like you have buy a new keyboard.
Maybe you have understand what I will to say.
cheers
Needless to say though, things are indeed looking up for Lionstracs and the Mediastation in my opinion.
