![]() ![]() ![]() I wouldn't decide on buying this new model until a decent number of comparison videos with other products are made. For instance, manufacturers know that the best way to promote their instrument is to hire a fab player and have them show off, but only playing that model rather than comparing the new model to previous models or models from rival manufacturers. Seems to me that Youtube videos and how we evaluate them depends upon context. Anything even remotely better -even by a very modest margin-is going to be interpreted as worthy unless such Roland owners compare the new model to Pianoteq, or another VST and are thus able to relate to a broader pallet such that the improvements actual relative value nullifies the desire for purchase. Roland users are used to their current sound. Conversely, if it is not a big enough step forwards to warrant £150, then soon enough, the reputation of the new model will get around and suppress sales. If nobody can reliably try the model and give objective feedback, many may buy it before the new patch develops a poor reputation. That is an advantage and also the disadvantage for Roland. On the other hand, until I get a play of this new model, no video is going to substitute the real experience of playing. The player admits to being no piano player but for exactly that reason, it's possible to focus on the tones rather than the sematic value you get from an accomplished player. However, I can mention from that video that the quality of the old and new models didn't seem significantly different. Do not know why it's gone, but the reviewer was rather self deprecating so may have wrongly decided his video was of no use. Unfortunately, the video publisher removed it, so I cannot post here. Earlier this morning (as I am on holiday) I found a YouTube video of an amateur testing the new expansion and comparing it to the existing Steinway model.
