Thanks for the listen Fran. Yeah I'm a bit surprised that the MZ gave such a decent account of itself. Really, mainly the drums drop it in quality vs the other two I put up. ( I'm not even considering the ES here because it is so bad for midifile playback that it really kinda belongs in a world of it's own ). The lead/panel and non drum GM voices on the MZ are pretty danged good for an "old" board. Of course I always knew that anyway. It's actually a better complement to the PA80 for playing live than the ES is, since it does do midifiles fairly well. It's some of the styles that kinda kill it as an arranger, mainly because some of the drumkits aren't up to par.


Just for the heck of it..and in order to make it a "fair" fight, I took the liberty of remastering both Donny's and your original MP3s using similar settings to the files I made..( hope u guys don't mind ).

After listening to them.. I'm thinking of ditching all of my current boards and finding a G1000.... LOL.. No wonder you like the way midifiles sound coming through it though. The Tyros actually sounded better than I had expected it to, at least a whole lot better than it's workstation counterpart, the Motif ES.

Here they are:
