True, but the percentage of arranger players who want that much editing depth, is small, or Yamaha and Roland would have taken it up as well...they both have powerful workstations and synths from which they could "borrow".
Korg is basically going it alone in this area, and perhaps that's a good thing, as it helps them stand out a little from the others, and of course, snag the few (or perhaps, more than a few) users that are interested in, or must have, these features.
Choice is good.
Not at all... it's not just about what YOU can do with it, it's also about what the programmers working for KORG did with the sound engine to shape the sounds YOU are going to play.
For example, Yamaha have Mega Voices which is not a technology, it's just marketing hype for layered multisamples which are triggered off. The down side to this is the only sounds that can be Mega Voices are the ones Yamaha give you. The technology (Marketing Hype) is not transferable to all the other sounds because everything is based on the multisamples being there first.
Where on the other hand KORG's RX / DNC technology is an actual technology that applies to “””every sound””””. So out of the box, even if you do not program your own sounds, you are automatically using RX and DNC because the programmers at KORG have already done the work for you.
The Sound Engine in a KORG also allows KORG's sound designers to make sounds that are simply not possible to do on ANY other arranger. All this comes in the box ready to play by you with Zero programming.
People really need to open their eyes. Super advances sounds engines are not just tools for you to program. They already come full of content programmed by the experts and produce sounds that the competition can never do unless they too include a super deep sound engine.
