Audya wins. Also the guiro in the Tyros doesnt respond well.

I liked the Yamaha the best (but, that's also why I use one). It just has more overall "presence" than the others

The Audya was a close second.

The Korg, at least in this comparison, sounded very one-dimensional.

Ian I'm sure with a bit of editing tracks all these units could make these SMF songs sound fantastic. I wish they would have thrown in the G70 into the mix also.

Yes, Donny, I'm sure they could all sound great/better with editing, and yes, it would be nice to see the G-70 included, but it's an old, discontinued model, and basically only available second hand.

What you posted were the three currently available TOTL arrangers, although, to be fair, the Korg has been replaced by the PA3X.

I really thought the Korg sounded very one-dimensional or plain, in that comparison, but again, I'm sure that with a bit of editing, it would sound significantly better.

In fact, so far, I think the PA2X sounds better to my ears than the PA3X.

If I was to get a Korg, I'd seriously consider getting the PA2X second hand (or as a new stock left over) based on what I've heard in the on-line demos.

Not bad at all Fran, in fact, very good, although there was a bit of distortion to mar an otherwise great sound.

Just goes to show there's still some life in the old girl. wink

Ian, I didn't even listen to the results..I just plugged into the Tascam DR-07, and recorded..Didn't check levels..I was sure it would demonstrate a difference from the other examples smile

It was uploaded directly from the Tascam DR-07..

Yes, it is different, I suppose, but there appears to be a fair bit of distortion.

Even with the distortion, it has more dimensionality than the Korg.

Maybe someone with a PA2X can upload an edited SMF so we can hear it at it's best.
