What you seem to forget Ian is that there are many people on this forum who are not a ONE BRAND FANBOY. How can I comment on the sound of a Roland as it relates to an arranger..., well I don't own a Roland arranger.., however.., I would think that being the owner of a ROLAND FANTOM X6 (a synth whos sounds do show up in their arrangers and is clearly no secret) that Ican comment on the issue.

Apprarently it means nothing to people here that I also own a Yamaha Motif ES-6.., but somehow I'm still considered a Yamaha hater and basher. I like Yamaha's synths but don't care for their arranger line, but I'm still considered a Yamaha hater just because I'm not on the wagon with the VERY OBVIOUS YAMAHA BIAS that has been present on this forum for years.

Perhaps Ian..., if you just came out and said things more directly rather than pussy-foot around your opinion with some of your statements.., I think it would be different. An issue lately has been about Diki's postings regarding every MediaStation topic that shows up... When on the other end of that..., it's YOU that does the same bloody thing and takes every chance you get to sneak in your Roland opinions. The main difference here is Diki is at least ballsy enough and has the guts to take it head on and come right out with what he has to say about the issue. Your remarks just often get pushed under the rug because you always beat around the topic and sneak it in.
