Interesting thread...
I have to say that I think Diki is presenting his case in a very respectful fashion. Perhaps he didn't use the best example when he involved Ian, but I didn't read anything insulting.
Its a conversation Diki wants on this, I think...
I'm a Yamaha fan, a big one...but I'll admit there are things about it I don't care for. But in the end, its the sound I prefer over other arrangers, I'm comfortable with it and have zero plans to change brands anytime soon. Do I have the best arranger? I don't know, but for me, I'm very pleased...my audiences are very pleased and that pretty much is that.
I'm not suggesting that if I sat down with a Roland or a Korg or whatever for a few weeks I might not really develop an appreciation for those brands. I may very well like them more than the Tyros line. It'd be silly to rule that out if I haven't tried it. But its not required, so...we can kind of what if this to death...
