And let the bashing begin.

Its apparent that the person playing the demo has a part to play in whether the demo sounds good or not.
Look we have had two demos of the mediastation one of them which got comments like -------unbelievable that is not a keyboard producing those drums----- and the other we will probably get comments like -----my G70 and T2 can do that------.
Mediastation is in a lose lose situation if you have a demo that is good showing off the mediastation’s real use, you get request to take it down to a T2 or G70 standard. And when mediastation takes it down to the T2 and g70 standard, you get comments like -------my G70 and T2 can do that and much better------.


BTW it amazes me as to why would someone want to buy a mediastation with its innovative features to buy it based on OTB styles and sounds.
I can understanding buying a T2 G70 for that reason because what you get on the keyboard is what you get and no more. There is no way to drastically change the T2 or G70 with features, sounds or styles.


If you are judging the mediastation from the OTB online demos, then you are demonstrating that you are missing and not understanding the point and concept of the mediastation.
Dom’s real markets for the mediastation are the Korg PA2x and Motif SX market.
The people who are creative and want a synth/workstation with arranger technology. If you haven’t been paying attention, arrangers and workstations have been steeling features from each other and IMO there will be a convergence of workstations and arrangers and audio players to where you will not be able to make an absolute distinction between them.

Dom’s biggest problem is not with the product but with Language and marketing.
People do not want to know the technical details of the product.
He needs to have some one who can adequately explain how the product can be beneficial to his potential customers. Then he needs to have some one put up online demos that would impress his potential market.

Also, he would need to explain the ease it takes to customize the product to the
customer’s liking.


Its all about MARKETTING and strategic placement of your product----- that is how the big three are doing it.


If you don’t believe me, analyze how Yamaha is hyping the T3 even if it has nothing ground-breaking. Take a look at how Korg is marketing the PA2x OS upgrade. Compare those two examples with how Roland first marketed the G70 and where they place the G70 )in places where you could not get them in the U.S) and note the negative effect it had.
