Hi Chony,
Yes I agree, but its absolutely nothing to do with O.O.T.B. for me and the MS.
It is the fact that for the first time I can build a keyboard , from the ground up, to suit what I want to do.
Its not like the others that allow SOME modification to a locked in sound palette and operational system.
Only changing when a new physical model is released with a commensurate hefty price to pay.
Or having other proprietary systems that do not change in methodology, or evolving so slowly that it takes years to see real improvements.
I would even hazard a guess that at some stage we might even be able to develop a "Chord Sequencer" for the MS...
Who knows, it is OPEN architecture so if a developer can create a program to do it, just add it on!!!
The MS I think will allow total freedom in all aspects of what a keyboard should be.
The fact I can add and subtract software systems at will, or when they get better is a HUGE advantage. Which means "I" get to choose when I want an upgrade, not the manufacturer.
I have spent many, many years chopping and changing keyboards and modules trying to find the "perfect" one. Some came very close, but there was always one or two things missing.
The Media Station, I believe, will be that keyboard because it will be fully customisable to what I need and want. I can vary it at will, change it to suit my mood, or change it to suit particular gigs...The list could go on and on.
And THATS the special thing about the Media Station I reckon.
Yeah I know thats a bit dramatic but in a way thats what the MS is all about. Letting the owner not only create music, but create their own individual tool for that purpose.
I can't wait to get started.
