As you know, I'm a Ty2 user, and have gone up through the ranks from the 8000, 9000, Tyros, T2.

However I just heard this sample from a friend which I was extremely impressed by. It was done on a Korg Pa1x. http://homepage.mac.com/chony/other/03_Track_3.wma

Please don't judge the musician's skill here - it's not good playing and that's not the point of this demo. Just listen to the overall sound.

My observation: The Pa1x overall sounds fuller, brighter, and clearer than the T2. On the other hand, the individual instruments (with the exception of the flute), do not compare to the T2.

My conclusion: The base sounds on the Korg ie: the drums and bass, are better and fuller than the T2. Since these are the 'base' of an arrangement, they make the whole thing sound better even though the individual instruments are worse.

I've always believed Yamaha had to work on their drums and bass, and while there has been an improvement, I think there's a long way for them to go.
