No, they aren't. Expandability of sounds has been a characteristic feature of up-market synthesizers for a long time. As individual preferences of sounds are different, it is a possibility to "individualize" the instrument to a certain degree. I want symphonic sounds, somebody else wants electronic dance sounds etc., it doesn't make sense to put everything imaginable into the instrument as presets.


I guess that the way these aftermarket people make their money, I could see it if your a pro musician playing music either live on stage, or studio recording, etc for a living,.. but to just sit in your living room and play for yourself seems like a very expensive way to go,.....enjoy whatever you play!.....
