Hi Nick. Thanks for the Demo. It was nicely played. The strings sounded very nice and lush.

The problem for me is that i have never heard a wersi sound great. I have heard great players play a wersi in a particular genre playing mostly theatre organ or 60's pop organ but thats about it. Noone should com plain about yamah drums as wersi have not updated their drums since the 70's if you judge them by your ears aolne and not marketing text.I admire your sticking power Abacus with your support for the Wersi product but it seems to me that they have done abolutely nothing to earn your loyalty.

thanks for the replies people!

Diki and Donny - i think you are being a bit too hard on Zuki.

I don't find what he wrote any harsher than what Donnie's comment was about 'typical Korg sound' and 'hollow snares'. (why don't you post something in arranger play Donny?

This was not a professional take with editing etc. it was very low effort, i did it very on the fly just to get something for people to here as i noticed there has been a huge lack of music being posted on this forum for a long time now.

Zuki was merely pointing out that i used a very simple style which is indeed what I was aiming for - i wanted to keep the music simple and not over done. to me its great, im happy with how it turned out. Diki I think you have taken what he said the wrong way (no offense)...

after listening to the trance clip again i realise now there are a lot of mistakes in the chord changes! (very embarrassing), i will have another take on this one tonight and re upload it. It does sound pretty bad!

as for the sound quality - this is something i need to work on. i am currently using a single stereo cable from the headphone jack on the PA 800 to the line in on my PC sound card. this is why the sound is a bit thin and maybe a little static or compressed?

I need to use the left and right stereo guitar leeds from the outputs on the back of the keyboard as the headphone socket in the PA 800 has a pre amp thus the sound comes out distorted.

but to me - that's a very live sound IMO. i am extremely happy with the keyboard and i totally love the sound of Korg! its polished like the yamaha but more live and crisp (at least out of the box)!

Nick

Nick..., how's the build quality of the PA compared to the Yamaha XS? I know the body is plastic, but how sturdy are the sliders..., do the buttons feel solid?

I'd love to test drive a PA, but I gotta leave the state to do that

Sorry, guys. Wasn't trying to take it the wrong way...

It's just that Zuki has been the MOST ardent fanboy of the PA800 since the day he got it, works 25/8 on it, and has yet to illustrate a single point he has made with any music. Now, don't get me wrong, but if you have a work schedule THAT deep, for one thing, shyness can't be a factor And professionalism is pretty much a given.

So why post on thread after thread after thread about how great the PA800 is, without so much as ONE demo? I'm not looking to chop the guy down, I'd simply like some kind of reference to what he is saying... Talking about music is like dancing about mathematics - it doesn't convey anything substantive. It's ALL opinion without illustration. And I'm sorry, but everyones' opinion has EXACTLY the same weight (just about zero) without some kind of demonstration of it's position.

To me, something might be the best sounding thing in the world. To you, it might sound like a kazoo Unless I post something in audio form, how do you decide whether (in YOUR opinion) I'm right or wrong? By grammar? Or writing style?

Or how many emoticons I use?

did you do any editing to the stereo wave? eq or compression?



thanks!

I have not done any EQ changes at all. only adjusted a few volume levels in the style parts.

You, my friend, are DEAD WRONG on your assessment of my reply. I enjoyed Nick's playing, including the simple style that he chose to use. You are probably the only one that saw it differently - too bad.
