it's true that tastes vary, and that so many factors go into making a decision on what to play. but the differences in the Korg/Audya
samples here (all i've got to go by) are more than whether one prefers more live or more compressed sound..it's the musical quality of the arrangements. and it's true tastes vary on that too-some may prefer the Audya arrangements to the Korg, based not on the live v compressed, but on the arrangement itself. To me, it's all Korg here..but that's not because i prefer a compressed sound to a live sound, but because in these 4 samples the Korg arrangements are musically superior imho.
