I'm sorry but I don't get it. I've got to defend Dominic and Liontracks. Both Dominic and Liontracks heve heard nothing but grief and sarcasim every since they introduced their product. It is obvious that they are a low budget operation trying to make a go of it. Also maybe they are better computer people than they are marketing people.
Many of us would love to have an arranger completly upgradable by software. An arranger that could use any of the excellent samples available commercially. It was exactly that premise that convinced me to purchase a Ketron X1. Unfortunately Ketron abandoned the X1 and reniged on their promise. I hope Liontracks puts all of them out of business.
I can understand Dominic's attitude. He and his company IMO were never givin a fair chance.
At least Squeak and Donny have keep their minds open and the snide comments out of their posts.
I don't want to keep worshiping at the thrown of Yamaha or any of the rest of them. They are milking us everytime they introduce a new product that is nothing more than the old product with a couple of features that they could have included on the prior model.
Let's wish Liontracks all the success in the world.

I agree wholeheartedly with every word you say, Tom.
This is why Yamaha never got my money for the Ty2, which, after several visits to my local music store, I find is nothing more than a teeny improvement over Ty 1.
However, this MIDIROEL only makes matters worse for LT.
