Truth. It's hard to handle.

Ian - your 100% right. Its like dealing with insolent kids on the schoolyard.

James yesterday I listened to the styles on your site and they are very good so I wanna buy them. Do you know if they are compatible with the PA500 Musikant? Are you planning to create more styles?

99% sure it's a yes, if not I would give a refund.



Believe it or not, they are not my work. Everything else on the site is, but the styles are by Salvatore Mirabile and I'm just the exclusive the reseller for him.

I'll ask the question though. He's likely working on something new, but he hasn't said anything to me yet. He's a good programmer. Hope he's working on some generic styles and not just song specific.

Cheers
James

Haven't heard a word of TRUTH anywhere in this whole thread, boys... Play nice, it's all nothing but OPINION.

Sorry, James, but put tired old Triton samples in your whizbang engine, damn thing doesn't sound an iota better. And DNC - what a joke! At least Yamaha tie their more 'closed' SA2 technology to highly crafted samples to leverage the technology. Where's the CONTENT from Korg to do the same? MIA, old boy...

Korg may have built the engine, but they failed to provide any fuel for it. So there it sits, looking pretty, going nowhere... waiting for the PA3Xpro to actually USE the horsepower.

Bottom,line, as you have found with your V-Machine is that you don't need a state of the art engine anywhere NEAR as much as you need great samples in the first place. And especially for drums, you need virtually NO fancy playback features. You just need great drum samples in the first place, then you need great performances on those samples to drive a style. All of which is MORE than possible without a single change to AWM2.

I've heard amazing performances from the MoXS, basically due to how good its' basic samples are in the first place. And, to be honest, I haven't heard a damn thing from Korg and the M3 that shows any improved degree of realism. Personally, unless you are a sound designer, it boils down to how good the raw, basic samples are in the first place...

What has amazed me is, after all the comments about the basic Yamaha drum sound, they keep trotting out new choir sounds, trombone sounds, things like that which don't affect the basic sound of the instrument. But they make REALLY good drum products, and really good electronic drum products, and by now you would have thought a set of TOTL DTX samples could have made its' way to the Premium content section.

What's the hold-up?

Yes I could use some more generic Dance and Disco styles.

I have ordered the styles. Will try them tomorrow.

If we got rid of everybody who is old here, who would be left?? I know I'm not quite obsolete yet................-charley

Your "truth" will have "genuine" instrument players in stitches!

Come on Diki. Just listen to the demos on youtube and on the Yamaha sites with a good headphone and anyone can tell you that Korg sound much better and powerful then the Yahaha PSR series and the Tyrosses. And I was nice but I am called a child so maby I must behave as one.

Please explain
