cgiles do you honestly think the likes of Yamaha gave the ability to load in 1 gig of memory into the T2 just so someone can load in some super special FX WAV?

Any good pianist will cry out for a quality piano sample so he can show off his skill with quality sounds, without having to resort to carrying a grand piano around with him/her. A good pianist can also knock out a great tune on any keyboard they sit in front of, but if they are like me it's far better to hear quality coming out of the speakers.
Samples can also be optimised within the mix of other instruments, you don't need the likes of Yamaha to do it for you.

Personally I measure a keyboard not by how good the piano or other sounds are but by it's editing facilities and what it offers the buyer. Quality onboard sounds, styles and a great key action are a bonus, but I'd rather create my own sounds than ever use presets.
Full blown multi layered sounds are not at all out of step with the other onboard voices, they are far more beneficial than some James Brown vocal gimmick.

If people are happy spending thousands of pounds on an arranger only to use presets and never to explore the full potential of the instrument then I see that as their loss. People are either happy as they are, don't want or know how to use editing software, don't realise the full potential of having authentic sounding instruments (adding sampled sounds to the styles on the T2 makes them more realistic than they are in the first place).

Is there anyone else on Synthzone who wants to get more out of their arranger and can understand that particularly with a T2, loading in WAV sounds can be a huge benefit?
