Diki Registered: 04/25/05 Posts: 14277 Loc: NW Florida	Originally Posted By: musicforyourday ok guys it has been brought to my attention by good sources that the Bk-9 for the most part will have the bk-5 sound set with a few super natural sounds as I hear the Demos being a BK-5 owner I can hear it and it not just a bad player the sax sounds is bad horn sounds are not good maybe the tone wheel stuff will be good for organ sounds pianos are nice on BK-5 as for pad and strings very nice as well but it is what it is it will not have the thickness we want that is upsetting to me Roland has the abilty to put much better sounds in those areas the integra and G series synths have much better sounds pianos and el pianos, organs, strings good but the other stuff not good my Tyros 4 will fill in where the Bk-5 -9 falls short SAX sounds for sure I was hopeful Roland would of put a much full sound set in like there top of the line sound set and not the past BK sound set bad move for them . sadly this will make it a MOTL unit 76 keys will make me want one but for the price they are asking better sound set should of been added so the demos are what you hear BK- 5 type of sounds because that is what it is Have you ever considered punctuation and paragraphs..? amazingly useful for getting your point across! _________________________ An arranger is just a tool.

Improving ones chops should be the not the silly nitpicking of sax sounds, a few features, what's better then what?.. How you play is what's important & what it sounds like..

Even if you read carefully in roland connect there are these words: The BK-9 is also equipped for future expansion, with a User Tone area dedicated for upcoming BK-series sound collections."

Joesax Member Registered: 03/19/09 Posts: 216 Loc: Southern New Jersey	Ok, here's a couple of demos with examples of Yamaha SA2 Voices, specifically the Breathy Tenor Sax. I have not found a better sax voice and the SA and Sa2 voices are the only reason I keep the Tyros 3. Those voices are very expressive and as someone who played Tenor Sax for many years it responds exactly the same way as the real thing. The examples are my compositions with Drums, Pads and bass from the Motif XF and leads from the Tyros 3.

Joesax Member Registered: 03/19/09 Posts: 216 Loc: Southern New Jersey	Sparky: The Ketron Sax is very good. I could live with that one too but IMO it is still second to the SA2 Yamaha. There is something about it's harmonics in the lower-mid range that says "Keyboard Sax" to me. But again it is very good and much better than Roland and Korg. I would like to hear a more extended sample of it.

Joe Of course, this is ALL about opinions and no one can say that one is wrong and another is right, especially since we cannot hear what another person is actually hearing ... personally, I think I liked the Ketron better, but then, what do I know ??? ... _________________________ t.

Joesax Member Registered: 03/19/09 Posts: 216 Loc: Southern New Jersey	Tony: Of course you are correct. It is very subjective. With music that's really all it can ever be. Plus each of us is more sensitive to certain instrument sounds. _________________________ joesax -------------------------------------------------- https://music4stressedoutsouls.bandcamp.com/ Tyros 3, Motif XF6, Quad Amp/Pre-Amp/DAC, Quad Monitors, Tascam Digital Recorder
