how many months did you have to reprogramme the tyros before its started to sound good ? No one should have to spend hours witn any keyboard for it to sound decent. The manufacturers in theory are trying to sell these products.It could never have been their deliberate intention to produce a musical instrument that people had to labour with before it sounded attractive enough for them to buy. Thats plainly just nonsense and if they move forward with this "unconventional" strategy they will go bankrupt , of that there is no question. I am glad that you love your board and i have no argument with you.
My argument is with Roland. I have said many times before that as a consumer i will purchase a product based upon its actual sound and not upon what i think it might sound like after i have learned how to manipiulate the factory sounds sufficiently to sound decent.The monetary investment is just too great for any reasonable person (i am not saying that you are not ) to take that kind of risk
