Listen to this T2 Live Keyboard Performance
and YOU Decide.

Scott

HEY SCOTT,
That is really great. Makes me happy I ordered this new Tyros 2. The more I read and the more I hear the more satisfied I am with my decision.
Maybe I ought to order Jann one also
Thanks for putting this up Scott
Best to all
Bill

Nice!!

I heard it played at Caister, (See Post) and the mp3 by Martin Harris and other mp3 Demos don’t come close to the sound it makes live. (Wasn’t the best Board there though)

Bill

Wow! Thanks for the post Scott.

Dear Abacus:

If you could share your opinion. What did you think were the best Keyboard(s) there?

In the Afternoon I decided to go to the Roland G70 OS2 Demo and I have to say that apart from the suspect amp & speakers used, it is an excellent instrument that can be played with or without styles, the main new feature however was Guitar Mode and this really was something special, for those that have seen or heard the Real Guitar VST Soft Synth you will know what I mean. (Yamahas Tyros 2 Super Articulation Guitars pale in comparison)

Hi Fran,

for those of us who don't know either the VST soft synth or the G70, could you explain how the guitar mode is different from the SA voices, both playability and sound?

Thanks

Eric

Fran,
Where can we find G70 demos to convince ourselves ?
Did you compare the instruments both in live-situations or is your opinion based upon the G70 'live' and Tyros2 MP3 (compressed) format?

I probably can't explain it well enough in technical terms, but Fran is on the money with "Real Guitar". It adds realistic slides, mutes, picking and fret sounds that can be adjusted by volume and velocity. There are several modes available in RG and every effect can be adjusted to your playing to add a real live feel.

I'm pretty sure that Musiclabs has a 14 day working demo available, so you can D/L it and then you can decide. My Motif ES has nothing even close in comparison. Other very good vst's to consider are Plugsounds Guitar module and Dasample ElectroAcoustic, ( the latter has a 7 day fully working demo ).

Back to topic... the demo sounds nice... I don't care much for`some of the lead instruments vs what is available elsewhere. particularly the sax and horn. I like my 10+ year old VL modeling board a lot better, at least if I am looking for "realism". Some of the other sounds are pretty danged good though. I would have to think that T2 would make for a very nice live board, but my guess is that it will still not be comparable to high quality modules and samples for studio users.
