Music stores will ALWAYS have morons working in them (except George Kaye!)...... If the future of the MS rests in their hands, which for long term economic growth is essential, Domenik is going to have to do what all the other arranger manufacturers have...... make the keyboard sound great the minute you switch it on.

NOT after you have spent weeks, months or more setting it up yourself. Perhaps Domenik's business model is for him to have a small, loyal, extremely technically gifted user base, but I'm sure he would prefer to sell the MS in Yamaha-like numbers. For this, he is going to have to do what everyone else does. Turn it on, and blow the competition away.

A T2, while not as complex or capable as an MS, is still a VERY complex arranger, to the point that VERY few of it's users probably know it inside and out. But you don't need to know all that for it to sound wonderful out of the box.

Apparently, with the MS, you do.......

With the MS as impossible to find in the USA as it is, only Dom's and user demos are all we can go on. Dom's demos are poor (there really is not much argument there) and no user has ever posted a demo that seriously competes with T2 etc..

I own a G70, and yet, from Yamaha and it's users demos and posts, I can come up with a pretty good idea of how good (or not!) it is. Why is the MS the only arranger that cannot be judged (at least as far as any other arranger) by listening to demos, and user demos and reviews.....?

I imagine all the other arranger manufacturers going 'Great! Now we don't need to spend any money on a good set of demos..... Apparently, no-one can form an opinion about our quality until they have played one! And, we don't even have to widely stock it so people can form their own opinions. It seems that arranger users are going to buy them, just to find out for themselves....!!!!'

Yeah, sure............

I'm tired of all this. PUT UP, OR SHUT UP.....
