Yes, Donny. They're better than Roland's SN sounds. I've heard countless demos, and even tried an Integra-7 a few times in different stores. Yamaha's high-end arrangers have the best, most realistic acoustic instrument sounds. However, having said this, there are many very good SN sounds.

As far as strings, I've never been crazy about Yamaha's. I much prefer the SN ones. I've also compared Kurzweil's and Roland's. I believe Kurzweil's strings are more realistic. Some actually gave me goosebumps.

I'm considering getting the MODX, because it sounds even better than the Motif XF, but I still don't think it's strings are great. I'll probably want another keyboard or module, or even a string library I can load in the MODX or Motif.

Maybe, someone who has experience with the MODX's strings and the Integra-7's may like to comment.

Thank you.
