Oh most astoundingly "Yes"!The first time i heard that 'Believe',i expierenced a completely new sound & refreshed i was!

Nowadays, they massage and 'improve' everybody up to and including great singers like Celine Dion, to what end? Do they sound 'better'?
**Again yes!The sound better,the band 'Stereo's' woould still be in a painfully class of mainstream i couldn;t tolerate to listen to on t.v.(i would'nt actually buy their music though as it's just as you say "Cher'd" out with no magic of their own clonings and copy the cher cat)but it is much preferabal to me.

It is no wonder that a large percentage of kids interested in music listen preferentially to the music of the seventies. Even THEY can recognize when something is REAL, not computer enhanced to the point of roboticism.
I would have to take robotism'd over living through 70's bunk.There was no beat,little bass,and way to much strings used.I don;t know which kids in question are being refered to that are into the 70's music.My personal opinion is music was heartbeatless and basically an unliving entity until
1984-ish,when the world slowly started waking up.
Keyboard companies are starting to slowly fall asleep with their non inventions though.There should be 'obvious' new things added,other than gimics.Why not throw in a something shocking every 2 releases to show their on top of things,like the D-Beam device on roland.That was refreshing,though borderline gimmiky.But the T3??what the heck is that all about,that is most def what the T2 should of been long ago.For example a good new inention for me would be a wireless remote that goes into my mouth to ADD to the footswitch function and not take THAT function away either...on & on i could go why i'm not buying a 3ft 30lbs hunk of plastic for $4000...am i being to hard on wanting perection?NO,i think KB departments are being to hard on testing my patince on what i know that THEIR purposely holding back on putting out.
Good grief,by now KB's should be in the 24track area,and have a whole slew of little pitch bend type wheels for ALL tracks for controlling brightness,harm etc instead of having to go into those pages and waste time pulling them up.I'm impatient
because i know a time is coming where a KB & it's owner are going to be of MUCH more oneness and not all the current fluing around the keyboards buttons like some gymnist excersisng.
Then ther's the registration banks,again..what a nightmare those are for needing a blasted computer to know which banks are open,used,or never to be erased(yet (for me) continually mistaking overwritten.There should BY NOW be a screen dedicated JUST FOR THIS where ALL is viewable on all work in those banks OR at the very least a 'Lock' function that asks "are you sure,you have crap there you wanted to keep on such and such a day"...on&on i could go..to me not 'harsh at all,rather "lazy' is the correct word usage for this topic on manufactures.
