Don't be silly "Rolandfan", of course the VA series sounded better than the G1000 and of course it didn't have crap sounds. It is clear that we all have different tasts, especially when it comes to something so subjective as what sounds most pleasing to ones ears. So please, at least try to give a more balanced judgement. The world is not black and white ;-)
Someone who drives a BMW will probably never be interested in a Mercedes-Benz and the other way around. But that doesn't mean that both cars are among the best that the industry produces...
I could easily write a simular report on the Korg PA1X-Pro, because it just isn't my cup of tea. But I won't, cause I know there is nothing wrong with it and it just has an approach to the concept of an arranger which doesn't quite fulfil my needs.
I really hope you are happy with the Tyros, I know I am with my G-70. When the Tyros2 hits the market and I like it more than the G-70, I could switch to that just as easily (if my budget alows me to). So it is not the Roland brand that made me choose the G-70, I just happen to think it is a very nice instrument and worth every penny. I trust you can respect that.
