I think it's overkill with the arranger market in the past few years that some manufacturers release stuff that goes above the price of the "Pro" instruments.Are some of these boards really worth the price tag,or,are they just trying to overcompensate for the fact that the majority market for arrangers still belongs to that 'lil 'ol company that starts with a "C"?

Even in the midst of trying to impress the hell out of us,some of the sounds are still not up to snuff.Is it really too much to ask for accurate orchestral sounds, out of the box, without having to buy "expander boards" or lord knows what?I think the technology has come to that point and there really isn't any excuse for brass that *still* sounds like car horns in this day and age.
