Why is it that people believe the Lionstracs and Wersi require you to spend additional money on VST's to use them? The Wersi for example has more and better sounds that come stock than any arranger I know of. The fact it can play VST's is merely a bonus. VST's aren't required, they simply expand the sound palette.

Lionstracs stock sounds are quite good and you even get some free GIGA sounds as well. The new 4300 GIGA sound bank is one example. I'm sure Lionstracs will offer other free sounds in the future which will only enhance the product. When was the last time Yamaha, Roland, or Korg gave the user a free 4GB sound library? For that matter what keyboard does Yamaha, Roland, or Korg make than can play back 4GB worth of sounds? Even the Korg Oasys can't play a file larger than 2 GB.
