1. If you buy something from marketing hype or online demos (Or because it has a certain name on the back) then the chances are you will be disappointed when you find it doesn’t do what it says on the tin. (If your brand loyal, you will probably ignore it, but it will get you in the end, by having to upgrade to the latest board)

2. If you buy what someone else says is the best, then you will again be disappointed, as no 2 people will like exactly the same. (Choose what you want to do)

3. There is no substitute for going out and listening too and trying out the board live. (There are some people who buy a car without trying it first, and they can usually be identified by the fact that they keep moaning about it not doing what they wanted, which proves hands on is always the best way to judge)

4. In the final analysis, if you like it after you try it, buy it, if you don’t like it, then don’t buy it, it’s as simple as that.

If it helps, (Remembering this is my personal opinion) I have had both hardware based boards, and computer based systems, but I would not go back to either, as the Wersi OAS system gives me both in one board. (Just remember it is not for everybody)

Listen guys...
If someone get a new MS, can only discuss about the quality of the styles, because we know..no one keyb now can compete with the T3 styles..
I can have also Colossus or omnisphere, but you will always reply that the T3 styles are the best....

after the styles point, what you have to costumize on MS??

when you get if, is full of media library and giga library..
You have ONLY to browser the desidered sounds and add it on the display menu.
browser from the 20.000 midifiles/Mp3 and play it...
Press ONE key to run the B4 II or to open a new ASIo patch...
what you have to costmize?

you can simple open the box and go gig like make the all others
I dont see where is the problems

To be honest Dom neither do I.

Hi

Now I think the discussion about MS is much better.

Having tried the MS for several months (last year) it it my conlusion that the MS is not comparable to an arranger from the big 3. And as an OOTB arranger it was IMO not up to par compared to my PSR 3000.

But the MS is so much of anything else. The drawback (at least for me) was that it demanded lots of
- musical skills
- technical skills
- time
- patience
to fully explore its potency.

I must admit that I did not have the time and patience! I just want an arranger to play for fun!

My conclusion is:
- If you cant fullfill the 4 points above: Do not buy a MS.
- If you fullfill the 4 points above: Go for it.

Just my opinion.

Regards
Jørgen
