  1. Good lord these companies, the "Big 3", bore me to death. Is this REALLY what the market demands? Or have these companies just perfected the craft of shoving this crap down people's throats year after year?

  2. And the "vocal remover" i.e. minus one uses "center cancel", just another new name for an old technology. This only works when the vocals are mixed dead center. Any panning in the voices will render this "center cancel" useless. That's why you can still hear the reverb on the "change the world" demo. I was a little interested whee bit (about the sonic cell hype in this little one) but his demo and choices in music in his demo killed it for me.

    This type of selling might entice a younger more newbie group I suppose...

  3. I think thats a bit unfair, this keyboard is not aimed at cutting edge synthesis warriors, it's for jobbing gigging musicians who play in covers bands or entertain in clubs and bars, or folks who want to learn to play standards etc.

    Not everyone can earn a living making the music that excites the yooth y'know. And for those people, a solid functional arranger keyboard might be just the ticket.
