I dunno, seems pretty awesome to me. I love the sound, there are many styles that are GREAT, giving a live band sound. I always prefer styles to midi's if given a choice. The live band factor is strong. There are some acoustic guitar sounds that REALLY sound convincing.

Of course, there are some styles that have so-so pads or other sounds that I don't care for but you can just mute them out. I was impressed with the ease of doing a registration, editing a style and renaming it, etc. I was only there for an hour and a half and we barely touched what it can do. I saw no unexpected "problems."

As a songwriter, arrangers are inspiring to me and this one is second to none in that department. But for gigging, it should also provide a sound second to none. At least, I haven't heard one that sounded better. Plus, it has some features that are definitely awesome for gigging.

So far, so good!
