The dry/wet processed sound is totally adjustable for the user and towards what total "feel" you ultimately want. It is totally subjective and the preference of the listener to how they what the music to sound like ( processed verses live ). It wouldn't be fair to simply cut up an arranger because it isn't setup to their overall preferences or style of play or even a more live type sound (...)
Those comments about Yamaha's SA2 sounding unrealistic is ridiculous. The whole point to the SA2 voices is to accurately mimic the sound and behaviour of the actual instrument with full control of the player. If the processed sound is throwing someone off, then a drier ( live feel) processed sound can be adjusted.
As far as comments that the new PA4X sounding 5 to 10x better than the PA3X is absurd. Any improvements is a bonus, but 1000% better? Does this mean VTS is a thing of the past?
It was Jez' individual assessment that some sounds from the Soundcloud demos appeared 5 to 10 times better than the PA-3X. I don't think it's too helpful to classify a personal impression as absurd here.
Regarding the question 'wet' vs. 'dry', you can control the effects, reverb etc., but you cannot control what's inside the sample. John just said in the Ketron SD 7 thread that the SD 7 drums have some remaining ambient reverb in the sample he cannot get rid of. It's not only reverb, there are several characteristics of a sample you can't influence. Maybe some Korg samples are just sampled with a more direct, raw and less processed sound compared to the Tyros.
