So, a good player on a Casio will sound better than a bad player on an MS. Does that make the Casio or the MS the 'better' arranger..?!

More excuses, and patently absurd ones at that...

Why wouldn't someone substitute an acoustic bass with a synth bass? Hmmmm, let me think about that for a nanosecond! Perhaps because most styles that use acoustic bass are ACOUSTIC styles? Perhaps, in YOUR world, jazz and bigband use synth basses. Back in the REAL world, they (on the whole) don't..!

I'm sorry genesys, but your entire post (and most others about the MS) simply sounds like an advance apologia for how bad these conversions are going to suck... YOU'RE the one telling us this can be done. Where's YOUR music made on the MS? Got any? Got any in style mode? Shy? Making excuses already? Got ANYTHING done on an MS? How long you had it already?
