And that is why just telling an MS user to �make a converted style sound better� by just replacing one sound with another is ridiculous.

Already, the detractors are limiting the examples by saying don�t replace an acoustic bass with a synth bass.
That only underscores the point that �better� is very subjective.


Lets be real, if some MS users put up examples of a Yamaha style played on the MS and it does not meet with approval by the detractors, does any one seriously think that it is a result of the MS not being able to do what it said it can do?
Of course not!

For example, Arrangers are advertised that they can sound like a one man band.
But if some one has a G70 arranger, takes it on a gig, plays using styles and has no timing, presses the fill and intro buttons at the wrong time, plays wrong chords, and otherwise sounds bad, do we then say arrangers could not make someone sound like a one man band?

No. we all know it is the user that would make the arranger sound like a band.

So why does any one think it will be any different with the MS.

In fact there is an additional factor with the MS. The type and quality of the VST or sound source the user uses will greatly affect the style.

Its just like a DAW manufacturer. If Sonar says you can make recordings on their DAW that would be radio ready, and a user creates a recording that is not radio ready, do we say that Sonar can not make a recording that is radio ready? No. we all know it entirely depends on the skill of the user and the sounds that the user uses.

And, if some one wanted to make a style sound {�better� on an MS, they may not use all the style tracks that are in the original style.
A person may feel that with the sounds that they are using on the MS, less sounds on the style part may make them sound �better� when they are playing.

Just because a style may sound �better� does not equate to you sounding �better� playing the style.
