Yeah!!!! Let me hear that "Scat" sound...

Seriously Ian..you so far from being correct..

Of course there are a few stellar sounds on the Yamaha...but across the board...The ancient G70...out performs and out-sounds it too....The XG bank of sounds still makes me want to throw up.. and I am not alone...more than one Yamaha owner has voiced discontent with the XG stuff..

Outdated sounds....is just nonsense... a piano sounds like in did a decade ago...so does a choir, guitars, Rhodes, and every other sound....If Roland started off with quality, full body samples ..there is no need to re do the sound banks....Now if you (Yamaha) sampled with the thin sample process they use....even the top models sound "dead".....There is a reason some boards sound LIVE and others uh CD like..
