korg's styles sounds crisper and clearer because korg sounds are generally more open, hights are more pronounced. while this is good for solo instruments, i find the styles a little bit too bright. just very little.

roland has good general sounds and styles. i like them best. but that's just me. for playing live, or even recording, roland's advantage is six fills compared to 2-3 in korg. also, the styles are more "band-like" than yamaha, the drums sets really make a difference. and dont forget cover and make-up tools....


You voiced my sentiments exactly with the "Yamaha's styles sounding more like a CD than a live band" comment!

...I've never seen a Roland arranger in a music store, but I've read one of the threads about the GW-8 here. This might be what I'm looking for, and at a very good price point too; but I don't want to bite on anything unless I play it first!
