It has been a while since I tried a G1000. From what I remember, my first impression was that the OS was difficult to navigate, but I didn't spend enough time to know for sure. I liked the sounds pretty well though.

I recently demoed a VA76 and an EM55. It seemed to me that the VA76 was easier to understand at first crack than the G1000 had been, and I liked the voices and styles. It's hard to compare the sounds between the two because of the time span involved, but I can say that I liked both when I tried them. In contrast, the EM55 did not seem to have the same quality of sounds or styles. I tried it side by side with the VA76. The PSR550 that was next to both of them sounded a lot better to me than the EM55. Well, that was my impression, for what it may be worth.

Best regards,

AJ
