I'd love to hear one sound on any closed arranger or workstation that can compete with the best VST's available. I'm not talking about synthesizer emulations either, I mean real world instruments i.e. Grand Piano, Strings, Horns, Guitars, Choirs, Drums, Percussion, etc. If you're not finding a VST to be superior in sound chances are you're using free VST's which have limited capabilities, your monitoring system is sub par, or you've lost part of your hearing.

Take into consideration that high end VST sounds like East West Symphonic and Choirs utilize more RAM in a single sound than the entire sound set from any arranger. This allows for much longer samples, more velocity switching, and more multi-layer samples which yields far more realistic results.

So if you have a sound from your Roland, Korg, or Yamaha arranger or workstation that matches or rivals the best VST out there show me a link to a sound demo where I can hear it A/B'd side by side.
