Actualy Craig i respect your opinion as usual but i thinkits actually quite good demos baring in mind they are recorded straight from a hand held cam. To be fair the "synthzone member" was playing piano style on the keys and was not holding the chords in a manner that the keyboard could recognise and that would be the same problem for yamaha or Korg or dare i say Roland. I suspect he has never played and arranger before and is not in fact a synthzone member or he would have given his appraisal by now. As you already know , you have to hold the chord just before or on the beat or the keyboard simply cant tell where you are going with the song. I think that the demonstrator on demos 3-5 looks a little disinterested but there is no doubting his talent. ( I suspect that he is actually Dom)

I enjoyed them and although i would not buy one yet simply beciause of the arrogance of Dom from his indiscreet forays on the forum, i am certainly interested in what the competition is doing. Again i suspect thatg mediastation is not that far off from having a decent product.
