Subject:VR 09 - my 2 cents worth

Well, okay..... My opinion is probably only worth a penny, but any way.... I just got a chance to swing by my local music store in Seattle (plug here for American Music) and check out the Roland and see what all the hullabaloo is about. I was pretty impressed, to say the least. I've been kind of looking for something to take the place of my old NE2 and/or Korg MicroStation, which get used at my computer for dinking around making arrangements, and to schlep to friends houses for impromptu jam sessions. This is definitely the one I've been looking for - everything Craig and the rest have been saying in support of it seems to be true, and for my purposes should work great. With my meager playing abilities, I don't think the keybed action will be a problem at all. The only thing that was "fingernails on the blackboard" for me was the Leslie sim on fast speed - comparable to what we had to put up with in prior iterations of sims (IMHO).


Just wanted to say thanks to Craig, Fox and the many others who have contributed to this thread. Your ideas and opinions are invaluable, and help keep us all informed and current. Thanks CWSG.
