Sorry, Nigel...
Magically, many DO post here, on all kinds of arrangers, and don't get ripped a new one... How does that happen?
Maybe it IS related to how good he demo sounds?
On the whole, I think this is quite a tolerant place
. Only when someone represents in a BIG way, and then fails to back it up do they seem to get much of a hard time. We DO get pretty critical of some factory demos, and that is just plain good consumerism (keep 'em honest
). They should expect it
But honestly, I can think of several that post music here with very little negative attitude...
I, and I honestly hope that everyone that posts here, am happy to acknowledge a great sounding demo, without ANY consideration of the source of that demo.... OK, I DO prefer it to be a simple style demo, to level the playing field, but push comes to shove, I hear something outstanding, I'll be the FIRST to say so...
If I don't, OK, I might be the first to say something, too
but I really AM learning to let sleeping puppies lie, most of the time... All I expect from an MS demo, or anything else, to be honest, is that the quality of the sounds and styles be roughly appropriate for it's price. Or better!
But all I'm expecting from any MS owner that posts here is a representational impression of the keyboard, in a form we can ALL listen to equally. All I can offer is an honest opinion, I hope that's all anyone can offer, and I can state that's all I've done in the past. I really try to listen to everything posted with no preconceived impressions. So Yamaha, Korg, Wersi, everyone gets treated the same. I cut Roland no more slack than Liontracs
I keep feeling like Don Corleone... "listen, it's not personal... It's just business, OK?"
