Bill,

Is that Katharina Bach in the background? She's also a fantastic player.

Bill how much are the Abacus arrangers going for right now with the new OAS included. I'm taking a serious look at them.

Haven't Wersi heard...? Apparently, there is no market for 76 note arrangers!

But seriously... Finally, a Wersi demo that doesn't 'cheese' it up, no skating rink organ anywhere! This was some pretty serious playing, and a great selection of sounds to play it on. First rate.

I would buy it, but Wersi obviously has no respect for the 76 key market. They have lost my business.

There are definitely drums in there that are not live, and although I can't hear it so well I'm sure there are other backing tracks too.

Hi Chony
The Ikarus has 76 notes, almost all the features of the Abacus, (including inbuilt speakers) and is significantly lighter, (About the weight of a Roland G70/E80) you can also add a 76 note keyboard to the Abacus, and so why do you say Wersi have no respect for users who want a 76 note board?

Taike
The video was shot at a local get together at Wersi Austria, so I would say yes it was.

Regards

Bill

Apart from the OAS demos on the right, all the demos are of OAS 6 not the latest OAS 7.
The ones on the right (Except Styles/presets which uses OAS 6) use various VST Plug-in instruments in addition to the internal sounds. (All Wersi OAS instruments have an onboard VST Host)
