They both sounded really good.

Is it my imagination or do the instruments sound more defined in the mix on the Tyros than on the G70. I couldn't quite make out the background honky tonk piano/rhodes on the G70, but they clearly stand out on the Tyros as do all the instruments. I also liked the violin on the T2 better than the G70. It sounded more expressive.

One thing is for sure, I MUST go play a G70 now.

MidiSpot have been producing fine styles for Tyros and Roland for quite a while, so what you are hearing here is a good style developers attempt at making the same style sound as good as it can on both instruments........ However, they have been developing for Tyros a lot longer than G70 (obviously), and yet I still prefer the G70 version - a lot more 'live'

FINALLY, a little real world A/B-ing.........


BTW, the drums on the Roland version of the country style are NOT the V-Drum kits, and IMHO, this style could be made to sound even better with a simple Makeup Tools adjustment.......

so was there any tweaking done yes or no ?

And what happened to the pedal steel on the country Tyros2 version?


I'll tell you one thing, though........ I guarantee you can tweak and store the G70 version faster. ALL styles are a matter of taste, one person wants to hear the piano well, another wants the fiddle, somebody else wants a deeper, more reverb-y snare drum. If and when you finally get a chance to compare G70 and Tyros2 side by side, spend a little time trying to tweak a style (not just adjust volumes, but make changes WITHIN the drumkit - not just a different kit - change sounds AND dynamics and effects, etc.) and see how long it takes you.........

The faster it is, the more likely you are to actually do it! Out-of-the-box is one thing, but efficient tools to customize what you want are what will make your arranger YOUR arranger..........

i'd love to hear more a/b comparision mp3s.
i think that was finally a real way to hear and compare this two instruments side by side.
great work!

Just remember, all you are hearing is one style developer's idea of how a style he created for the Tyros translates to the G70.

Pretty well. I'd say............

And I bet he didn't use much more than the Makeup Tools.......

For me, clearly, the Tyros2 wins for this recording. Mute the lead voice and replace it with a real fiddler and it would be a really good recording! The various voices were much clearer for the Tyros2.

#1 wins because the drums are too up front on #2. So, it's a bit unfair to #2. But I figure #1 would still win for my ears.

Thanks Niels for doing this, it's pretty cool.
