Hi there. I'm new to posting on this forum, but have been reading the postings for about 6 months now.
With regards to the Mediastation which I have heard, to me you pay £2500 plus for something that is basically a glorified master keyboard with a few sounds thrown in as a bonus. If you want to make it sound better, you have to shell out humdreds of pounds on giga samples and VST programs.
I can understand why Fran likes it, after all it has got a huge GM set for playing back SMF files
As for the demos, enough said. This is not and never will be an arranger keyboard. It's trying to be too many things at once and failing, instead of being good at just a few things. I can't fault Dom for trying but after a few years since this was released, you'd have thought the styles would at least sound better than a Casio or some low end PSR by now
