Did i start attacking ? when did i do that ? Fran said that he used the worst sounds of the MS. Did i misqoute him ? I simply questioned why use the worst sounds ? Surely it would have been better to use the best ? I asked for a demo showing the instruments "open " capabilities . It is an "open system ", i asked for that to be demonstrated. Should i not have asked ? Why is that considered attacking language ? I dont get it.

How much time does it take for someone to work with the MS to make it sound better ? This is serious because i need to know what kind of adjustments need to be made to the instrument to make it sound at least comparable to other closed system top end instruments. Was my comment about the comparrison with an entry level casio harsh ?If so i apologise right here and now without reservation. Magic Alpha what instrument would you feel would be a more acurate comparrison ? I genuinely want to know.

Taike. I commented on this thread concerning Ensnareyou's opinion of the MS as heis in the unique position of owning both the MS and wersi both of which are "open system " arrangers. Seeing as neither the MS manaufacturers or other interested parties seem able to provide a decent demo i have simply asked a user of the MS and wersi of their opinion of both .

I want to like the MS. I really do , i think it has real potential and i would love to see the top three manufacturers have to work harder for my money but from all the talk going back and forth i am still trying to find evidence that it is nolonger just potentially a great arranger/workstation. There is enough evidence out there to condemn the instrument.(please dont take that the wrong way Fran or Magic Alfa) Thats not the purpose of my questions. You guys are convinced its the next best thing to sliced bread, on what do you base that confidence ?

Thats all i am trying to establish.

If i have spoken out of place Nigel then pm me and let me know.

Taike, magic Alfa and whoever else, if you want to be selective in reading motives into my posts read this

"I might even be bothered to put in the work if i could hear a demo where perhaps you Dom have actually put in the work so that it at least sounds comparable with other topline arrangers. I am not trying to bring either you or your product down. I wish you every success with this forward thinking venture but you will only get honest feedback frokm me. Thats all. No offence intended.The MS is supposed to be a high end arranger. Wheres the evidence ?"
