pardon me for asking the question, but which part of this demo is the MS. The drums are not any kind of arranger pattern that i can recognise, the bass is not an arranger loop pattern.
Just before everyone starts getting silly over the MS let me explain that nothing that i hear in his demo was from any arranger . Its clearly a very good sequenced track and very likely a real drummer has been used . Certainly the drumming was not programmed by hand like you would ceate a pattern on an arranger. What this demo proves is that you can use the MS like a straight synth workstation.
Those drums don't sound like a live drummer that was recorded but it is possible. To me it sounds like just some great programming from a very good keyboard player. It's very possible that the person who made the demo did a custom style as well (something others here can't seem to grasp). Why is it when someone does post a decent demo on the Mediastation everyone comes forward saying it requires thousands of dollars in additional VST's or that the parts were real players and not actually played from the Mediastation? Let me reiterate this again folks... the Mediastation has some great factory sounds and just because other demo's you've heard weren't consistent with this new demo, don't be fooled into thinking the Mediastation isn't a TOTL instrument. The Mediastations capabilities are far more vast than people here give it credit for.
