So Fran.... Does that mean that you are estimating that maybe by next January, you will finally have the MS sounding like a decent arranger?

Because if it is any sooner, why not post something up now (or whenever it happens)?

You see, if it is me, I really don't think I could wait nearly a year to make something good on a piece of gear I just got (or already had for a couple of years or so!). If it were me, I'd want to be able to make something decent on it the day I got it, or it would be going back!

If I want to crown some folks here, Nigel is the first as "King of patience".

Realy nice thing YAMAHA STYLES on MS.


Thanks DOM.

Yeah, because playing them on a cheap PSR (which is what that sounded like) would be too simple and easy, wouldn't it?

What would have been more convincing would have been to already convert them to the best VSTi's you had, and have them actually sound BETTER than the cheap portable arranger they came from. JMO...

More likely that Yamaha turn a blind eye because they know that when it comes to arrangers, theirs are ready to go right out of the box which is what the huge majority of arranger buyers want. And that huge majority ain't gonna faff around with something as complex as the MS appears to be.

The only other reason may be that Yamaha are constucting the mother of all lawsuits on the styles copyright issue.

Where is the problem...Live Styler (included with the new MS) is a midi based Yamaha style player..The styles are wherever the consumer wants to get them...They are all over the place (most are terrible for me anyway..some are great)..And you can put your own sound library to use with LiveStyler...Unfortunately they have to be close to the XG wave table to sound like the Yamaha line...so why worry about using the better Giga sound library...

Correct Fran
The Live-styles is only a midi based yamaha styles player and then depend on wich XG soundfonts you will use.

I told in my old post too, the Yamaha YXG50 VST is just a simple 5Mb XG soundfonts and sounds really sh.......
In the next days is ready the new XG-GIGA soundbank and then you there can test what is the big sounds difference!
The sound designer made really a GOOD work, 480 XG sounds and 28 Drunkits, all stereo samples, the XG-GIGA library folder is about 4650Mb of data, plus the 1200Mb of the GM/GS soundbank.
Fortunally, the MS GIGA streaming sampler don't have the memory issue as the others..
This friday is ready to FREE download, just let me complete the sounds mapping LSCP list.

That's great news Dom.. My finger is poised over the download button..........
