Nice Marcel..

Soft Synths may be the wave of the future and with the likes of the Open Labs "neKo" Workstation you have the best of both worlds where it's an actual Keyboard but with the ability to import VST plugins under a Windows XP environment (OS) to play sounds using soft synth instruments.

The Piano sounded a little weak in your demo but most of the other instruments were pretty good especially the distorted guitar sound.

Thanks for posting the Software side of things Marcel although the topic is regarding Hardware Synths/Keyboards so it is unfortunately like comparing Apples to Oranges instead of Apples to Apples. But your entry is appreciated nonetheless, although it cannot be 'counted' in the vote because of the discrepancies in your method, i.e. you did not use a hardware Arranger or other type hardware Keyboard such as a Roland Fantom X, etc. But I for one enjoyed listening to your midi file with your use of a soft synth and sound fonts.

Best regards,
Mike

PS: Still waiting to hear the Pa1X/PRO and other top contenders.

>> I wanted to mention that I too liked the G70 demo but I feel it didn't trump the Tyros. I did especially like the Strings in the G70 demo. They sounded very realistic and full. But I might note that the Strings I used in my demo were the XG Ensemble Strings1 and not the Panel Strings or Panel Live! Strings. Even though that was the case, the XG Ensemble Strings on the Tyros sounded very good too I thought... My opinion of course.
