![]() ![]() I've posted one or two demos just to help other purchasers see what's possible, and so they can compare with the 'reality' of the sounds they presently get from, eg. (I use a Roland XP50 and Fantom X6 live). The attributes needed for playing live are going to be different than when recording in the studio, and it's the latter I'll be using Bandstand for. It tests both the rock drums and distorted guitar, two generally weak sounds. My quickest test is a midi of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" that I found on the net. Unfortunately I wanted to use it for more than GM and the piano's. Motif 7 is probably the only synth that was better. ![]() After much comparison I'm still using the Roland M-GS64 at gigs. (Note that I've purchased and downloaded several soundfont GM soundsets, owned the SC55 and Motif 7, currently own SC88vl, M-GS64 and XV5050 w/world card, VSC88 softsynth, M-Audio Key Rig softsynth and have checked out the HyperCanvas demo. I take demo's based on cliche' midi's (6/8 50's ballad, classic rock, soul/funk, alternative) as being more valid than the typical over-produced movie theme ("Yamaha") type of demo. If you want a demo that sells Bandstand it should be one that includes all of the guitars and horns, preferably in a lead context. These are easy sounds that pretty much any GM soundset can do a decent job with.
