So does the new Groove station have the same functionality as the older mediastation pro or is it different ?


Same functionality, but the Groove Series would be using higher revision boards (better sound quality) and faster PC based systems (including the ability to have more RAM)

Can a mediastation pro be turned into a Groove station and if so at what cost?


Yes, should cost in around 500+ euro if you go for the new sound board too, although you don't need it. The core parts you need would be a graphics card, motherboard, CPU and RAM.

Quote:
Is it the same OS on the mediatstion that is on the new groove station ?


There's only one type of OS for all keyboards at the moment. To make use of the newer OS though MS users would have had to upgrade parts inside the keyboard.

Quote:
Would there be any advantage to an MS pro user buying a groove station instead ?


I'd say yes but it depends on your view. Buying the newer keyboard allows you to sell the older one. Between selling the older one and paying the difference to get a new one, you do get a new keyboard with all brand spanking new parts inside and the warranty rather than the hassle of upgrading the older unit.

So it would be worth looking at how much it would cost to upgrade an old MS VS buying a new Groove and selling the old MS.
