There are a couple things the MS does that are second to none...The interface and control, when using VST's and Giga samples are unbeatable...it is near zero latency and you can not tell the sound and keys are not connected as the Kronos etc..

In fact I have found it impossible to get the same quality results with a laptop (even my high end laptop) and any combination of controller keyboards I have used ..15ms seems to be the best latency I have found..

The MS loaded with my 1 gig Steinway B giga sample and the Native Instruments B4 ( with the Lionstracs B4 interface) are unmatched by any other piano and organ sounds to date...

Just this capability is enough for me to use the MS...

Add the best Media player with an interface that can not be match anywhere.....you have a quality winner...

I don't know where Domenic will be going with the future support..but with the OS and hardware I currently use...it is working to perfection, and covering the needs I want...

The MS design is such that it has enough in common with Lionstracs new line up...so the update OS will continue...


For me...I do not need any updates to correct any present problems...It did take a few years to get to this point...but I am pleased...Organ, Piano, and Media player..it serves it's purpose..
