i have no quarrel with you filiper. I never said you were a manager for MS but i am surprised that you are replying to a comment about how the company markets its product. If that has nothing to do with you i dont understand why you are answering ?

The point i am making is that you and i others are making a serious mistake in regards to your assumptions about the differences between home keyboard players, and gigging musicians. Their desires from a keyboard in many respects are exactly the same. Tell me if you think this assumption of mine is wrong:

Most pro players and most amateur players want to get the best sound from their instruments in the simplest way... true or not true ?

Look at the makeup of this board which has both pro players and amateurs and tell me what is significantly different about the instruments that they play ?

This goes for Dom too, think real hard and you will find that both the pros and the amateurs are playing Yamahas (mostly Tyros 1, 2 or psr300's), or Korgs (pa1x p50's i30's) or Roland G70's (once they have tweaked the hell outta them ...just smile neilsh!). Why do you think that even with the Merdiastation having been around at least 18 months, dozens of its "great" demos and lots of postings on hear about it that only a few people have bought one.....

Go on think real hard.....

You see if you cant market to the amateurs and pros on here...who the hell are you going to market too ??????????

I am done with this.
