This, however, is a great shame. Because only the CONTENT would have to be provided for it to BE a great instant gratification machine, and still have all the future expansion as well. I think this is what I have been trying to get Dom to understand since the beginning...

If he merely knuckled down, hired some top style developers, and packed the MS with as many TOTL styles as a T3 or PA2Xpro, the world would beat a path to his door. But the percentage of arranger users that even HAVE the skill to do that, let alone the time, is minuscule. So little (compared to actually designing and building the MS) needs to be added to make this a world beater, but Dom stubbornly clings to the idea that somewhere, he is going to find mass acceptance (and a fortune!) by NOT making the styles and sounds the priority, only the OS and features.

Sadly, I simply don't see this happening. And that IS a shame...

I look forward to the rest of your review, Dennis. Coming from the PA2 and G70, at least you know what great styles are SUPPOSED to sound like...
