Yes but programming it exactly as Yamaha and Korg? You can't do that. No program can do that. If you can do that let me hear. And who want to program that. Not me I want to play not do the job of the sound engineers. I also don't find VST superior. Superior to what? To a Korg M3 or a Yamaha Motif XS?

Yep. there's that word "when" again...been hearing that for quite a few years now...still no go.

Yes Ian and also that word superior irritate me.

Yamaha and Korg have their Mega-voices and DNC integrated in the arranger section...that's why they are such a doddle to use, yet, they provide enormous amounts of expressivity.

So far, Mediastation has not been able to totally utilize the power of the VST's in an accompaniment generator.

It's always, "When the Mediastation"..."Soon the Mediastation"..."Some day the Mediastation will..."

I'll believe all their hype when I hear it....meanwhile Korg and Yamaha will continue to raise the bar.

Ian

Do you know how mega voices work, i asume you do.
And did you watch the video, i asume you did

Then you must have seen how easy it is to copy mega voices with the program Mimik. And these megavoices will sound exactly like the Yamaha megavoices.

Of course I know how Mega-voices work...it's just that I haven't seen their equivalent in a Mediastation, which it will need to make Yamaha styles sound as good as on the original instrument.

Edited to add: I know..."some day" the Mediastation will have these mega voice equivalents in their accompaniments...meanwhile, Yamaha has been using them successfully since the Tyros1(2002) and continues to improve and develop them...even their mid-range instruments have them.

Now you are talking funny. Yamaha has his own sound. Unless you use a Yamaha VST the mediastation will never sound as a Yamaha.

Thats because you need to use a NEKO to use the program Mimik. And prolly noboddy has both. but its only amatter of time.

Mimik is my no means unique.

Extreme Sample Converter, Sample Robot and Samplit all do the same thing and they have been a round a lot longer.

I have Extreme Sample Converter myself

Well, Neko's aren't much money, are they?
I suppose one could add it to their Mediastation...but, doesn't the Mediastation already play VST's much like the Neko?

Perhaps the Mediastation user group could purchase one to share amongst themselves?

Of course, not all of the users will want to be using the Mediastation as an arranger.
