RE: [DTXpress] Re: Yamaha vs Roland

Similarly, I got the Yamaha for the same reason.  But..

 

..recently I also bought a Korg Triton Le keyboard.  Why is this relevant?

 

Cause it was explained to me during that process that Roland "manufacture"
more of their sounds (in general) and get their "warmth" (if you can call it
that) through synthesis.  I bought the Korg over the Roland Fantom (not only
for price) but because the sounds in the Korg are built through layering
samples - not by stretching a sample through synthesis (aside maybe from the
Roland Piano sounds).

 

I guess this is why Yamaha edrums sound better - because they use real drums
and multiple samples.

 

Regards,

Gary

Why I got Yamaha is due to the realistic sounds. I tried both and 
Yamaha always sounded better acoustically. Roland used a COMOS which 
you can add effects but does not necessarly make the it sound more 
acoustic. Yamaha comes out of the gate with the fully blown acoustic 
sample, thus very nice sounding on the get go out of the box. I do 
like the TD-6 better than the TD-10 or TD-8. I prefer Yamaha samples 
as they sound great live through a big PA.
