To the Genesys, Dom has had what he calls good musicians demoing the Mediastation and the live recordings are already there for downloading. There's the guy who plays nothing but organ sounds all the time and looks totally uninterested in what he is performing, then there's the new older bloke freaking out with the piano sounds trying his hardest to accompany some guy whose singing leaves much to be desired.
This is Mediastations way of promoting their product.
Now on the other hand there's the UK guy who plays on 2 demos if they are still available who actually shows you what can be achieved with a good sounding piano, I think it was the giga one.
People keep stating that the Mediastation is great for VST and Giga sounds which is true. However decent Giga libraries and VST's cost loads of money. Just how many people want to spend £3000 on the Mediastation then have to fork out loads more for quality sounds?
The internal styles are bad at the moment, the GM sounds are bad, the synth engine has some very good sounds, Giga piano was OK, B3 was very good and I think Dom may be putting B4 with it now, but other than that you've either got to buy Giga's and VST's or stick to the few free ones that work with Linux. Half of the free stuff I got with my Mediastation were demo versions or the typical free plugins anyone can download off the net.
It's like having a good master keyboard with a few internal sound modules linked to it and then there's the novel twin playback facility for wannabe DJ's.
