Wersi are to introduce the follow on to the Wersi Pegasus (Manufactured (With updates) through the 90s) at their Summerfest in June. http://www.wersi.de/
No real details as yet, but rumours are that unlike the original Pegasus it will have 76 notes and physical drawbars, and is also supposed to be the next generation of OAS.
Should be interesting (The original Pegasus was discontinued in about 1999)
I have posted links to the original Pegasus demos below, which should give a benchmark on which to base any new demos that Wersi post.

Thats great Bill thank you for sharing!

Could this be the ONE......

could this be the AUDYA KILLER ???

i say AUDYA drops their price $1000 RIGHT NOW ;-)

Well, I contacted a dealer for a deal, and yes, price dropped nearly 1100 US$
down to about 6800 US$

Still a way to go, eh?

GJ

Wersi's are SO overpriced, this isn't going to put any pressure on Audya to drop their prices. I'll wager it comes out at least a couple of grand MORE than the Audya...

Mind you, IF someone made a VSTi with ALL chord types and a good library of styles, it might actually do what Ketron failed to make happen... allow streaming guitar chords, basslines, horns, whatever. But content is still going to be the big issue. It's all well and good to have the technology, but SOMEBODY has to prepare all those loops, in all the chords, with variation changes, fills, etc.. And that is not going to be cheap, either!

Hi Diki
If memory serves correct (Were going back over 10 years now) the Pegasus was only slightly higher in price to the other TOTL Arrangers at that time, (Most also didn’t have hard drives, touch screens, and an updatable OS, whereas the Pegasus did, it also had 18bit D/A converters) so hopefully the new one will be the same.
Roll on the Summerfest

Bill

Now thats exactly what makes an arranger more expensive then a genuine workstation...

Its where Audya shines (factory styles) its where mediastation failes, but its espescially where Yamaha with its huge range of 3rd party styles wins big time.

So lets just see what happens...

OAS allready has the vsti support, and the native yamaha style support...

I'd be very surprised if it's priced under the Audya Bill.

Now.., it would be very cool if Wersi priced this model to compete with a T3, Korg PA, or G-70. If Wersi did that and made it KNOWN in the USA.., they'd probably sell quite a few of them here. I don't think Wersi has any interest in the US market though.., it's obvious as the styles they keep supplying for their line are all Euro based. All their attempts at western styles are really nothing more than euro interpretations that never seem to really quite get it right.
