Thanks, Fran, I know it seems like a thankless task, but so few of these MSs are out there, ANY user demo provides information. Unfortunately, that information is not good news for potential customers, yet.....

How about a few that you just play the style section, no right hand at all..? I am still interested in hearing how well the MS's OS handles fill transitions, and slightly off-time chord input (and we ALL do that from time to time!)....

How about picking what you think is the BEST style on the MS and giving us a quick taster, Fran, rather than this random stuff? I KNOW you didn't buy this thing just for B4.....

I can only imagine how much better the MS will sound once you can address VST and GIGA from the styles and SMFs (he's been selling it for HOW long without this basic ability?!!), but a polished turd is still a turd.... the styles themselves have got to be better than these apparently ripped-off public domain stinkers.

The big 3 probably spend as much on style development as Domenik has in his entire budget, and this is a steep hill to climb, but hopefully, the next batch will impress more......

Oh, and NO OTS....? I didn't know that (or no simple chord types, though I never use those). I guess the one thing I'm learning is how difficult it must be to design good arranger software and styles as good as the majors. I always used to bitch about how expensive arrangers are compared to their more capable workstation cousins, but if it is this hard for Domenik to get the styles right, no wonder we pay more for good arrangers than good workstations!
