You know, it's strange, but the Korg sounds way more compressed than the Yamaha.

The Audya's percussion is better than the Korg's but the brass and other sounds are not quite up to the Yamaha.

So based on how they handled the current SMF:

1. Tyros3

2. Audya

3. Korg PA2XPro

The levels are much more equal this time Frank....great job, and thanks for posting the comparo.

No problem, It's funny that all these keyboards will sound different with each midi file.

Has anyone seen tried this midi optimizer 6.0 http://www.midiland.de/

seems to be a good midi file adjustment program for program/effects and so forth

As Diki said in a previous thread, a lot of these SMF were made using Roland gear, so adjustment is always necessary for optimum sound.

Yamaha has a an automatic re-voice, but that doesn't always work perfectly either.

I don't use commercial SMF files; just make my own for personal recording purposes, so I would certainly test these instruments differently.

The Audya has great percussion, but the rest just doesn't sizzle any more than the other two...I'm sure with a bit of editing they would all sound great (but still not alike), and one's personal preferences on how they would want/need the percussion to sound (as in "live" or CD-like) would be the deciding factor; and of course, the keyboard size as well.

The Audya certainly gives a much better account of itself in this comparison.

Wow big difference this time...A Blind test would remove all bias though.

1. Tyros The sound was incredible and 3D like.The LP was clear and the horns were well Yamaha.Loved the Bari Sax.

2. Audya I liked the Audya on this one. A bit compressed but it was close between this and the T3. The LP on the T3 is what sold me in the end.The solo trumpet was nice.

3. not a good song for the Korg....It was very weak compared to the other two. The sound was "disjointed" and weak in dynamics.

This time it sure was/is different.

Audya climb to 1.st because of the rich and clear sound.
Tyros as 2.nd, very very close to 1.st, but a bit "normalized" and flat sounding in my ears.
Sadly PA2X did not impress me this time!

Again, very personal, and things may differ if compared live side by side with several files
and also styleplaying.

Thank's Frank.

Cheers
