I promised myself I would not post a character about the G the next few days but I just can't help it:
No multi samples.
Ok, I agree. Although I don't particulary need it I understand that for some guys this is a disapontment.
Live mode can hanlde 8 parts (+PFX), and the remaining 8 PFX dsp power is left w/out any usage - what a total waste.
Do you have a clue on what you're saying???? It's BECAUSE of the 8 part limit that we get smeamless switching. You call that a TOTAL WASTE???? If you want to use 16 PFX turn to Studio Mode.
-24 Audio track, but only 544MB for sampling, quite ridicules I think.
Yes we should have none. No Audio Tracks and no RAM. That would make things a lot easier and good.
-Still 16bit/44.1kHz sampling capabilities (come on!!!).
I always find strange why someone feels that the actual audio CD specs are not enough. As if actually anyone HEARS the difference between that and 24-bit/192Khz.... (come on!!!)
-Live/Studio mode, still w/out a dedicated EQ for each part.
This has been discussed to the limit. Yes you do not have EQ per part but you have FX per part (wich can be an EQ). Ok, I get it: you want EQ AND FX. Sorry, keep disapointed.... with just about every other keyboard on the market 'cause you-don't-have-1 EQ+1FX-for every-part.
-Audio via USB handles only 4 channels (right???).
No, its stereo, 2 channels. Don't say it... Since the G is 16 part multitimbral you want 16 individual stereo channels through USB, right?. Hey but look, the ARX can also be 16 part multi-timbral and there's also a stereo input . So you actually wanted it to stream 50 channel through USB???? The Fantom X just didn't had USB audio streaming so....
Sampling/Resampling gain loss (probably -12dB).
I don't have a single clue on where you got this so, yeah, right
-A patch is built from only 4 oscillators.
Let me read it again... "only 4 oscilators"?????
-USB media can't be removed while the unit is operating (what if I have no enough free storage space on the currently inserted card, how can I save my work then?).
I think you got this right by now.
-No preset content (drum-loops, phrases).
huh?????????
-Real-time sample time-streching takes twice the polyphony.
Again a TOTAL WASTE, isn't it? We'd be better without this time-streching thing and keep our polyphony.
Sorry, I don't want to seem rude but I don't think you're a real "xsprt" or are missinformed on the actual worstation market.
