I agree with you that it is not quite up to par with the other three from the original post. Like I said though, I did no editing to this file at all. I know that if I spent some time selecting other sounds, re-mixing, etc. it could sound much better.

Here is another recording of the same track using another instrument I had laying around. Please let me know what you think.

Oh and yes, that first one was a WK8. I was hoping to buy something new (was considering the PA2X Pro) but seeing as I haven't had a real job in over a year and a half and since I do have the WK8 which is sufficing, there was no way of justifying a purchase.



This one is something I'm a bit stumped on...I don't think it's one of the big three (Yamaha, Roland, Korg)and it's much stronger sounding than a Casio...the Brass is broader, if that makes any sense.

It's not an instrument I've heard often, if at all, ...hence it not being one of the "Big 3"...it does sound "expensive", again, if that makes any sense?

And it's not new.

I'm going to say a GEM or something in that area...maybe even another Ketron...both are companies with which I'm not familiar.

It does sound pretty good...and again, it has the güiro!

I was going to mention in my other post, that Casio have come a long way, and have nothing to be ashamed of, for sure.

I had quite a few CK's here, for comparison purposes, and they were a great bang for the buck....and back in my band days I used a CZ-1 synthesizer(midi'd to my DX-5)...awesome sound and totally pro....their sampler (FZ-1) was pretty cool too.
