That could explain why several merchants have marked down the PX-200 to clear their inventory for the newer models.

Last night I was downloading and checking MP3 files from http://www.purgatorycreek.com/. This site is where anybody need to check it before going to waste his money on Yamaha, Roland or Korg, etc. I mean all models. Last night I really disappointed about their sounds. I think they sound terrible. The only sound near to a piano was from Kurzweil models but even those not comparable with a Virtual Piano like Reason. I am using Reason Virtual Pianos for almost a year with my old Roland Synth as a midi keyboard. But I thought these new DPs from Yamaha/Roland can do the same. I was wrong. And I made my decistion. As long as I can not have an Acoustic piano, I am going to get a DP with good action. Connecting it to my computer and using it only as a MIDI keyboard. No DP from Roland, Yamaha, Korg sound even like a piano.
I really wonder why they only don't insert a laptop Main board into their keyboard and acquire licenses from Reason? In theory, it is not possible to create real sounds using Wave ROM less than 500MB. These models are using 64MB wave ROMs at most. Then what you can expect?

It's almost impossible to tell what a piano sounds like from just hearing an MP3. You have to play the actual piano to make an informed decision.

I agree with you YabbaDabba but the great thing about these MP3s are that they are all the same song that have recorded with various DPs. I hope they do that honestly but you are right, may be I was too harsh about poor Yamaha and Roland DPs laugh

One thing is for certain reza - dp manufacturers really do need to step up and make decent sounds come out of these boxes! It's the era of multigigabyte everything, you would think they could make it all work!

This is a great site for some MP3 samples:

http://www.e-muzyk.net.pl/content/blogcategory/24/36/

The site is not in English but easy to figure out.

Read the earlier posts from 2007.

This thread has been stretched out for more than a year, with mostly the same comment/request each time ... "I need a password, but I don't have one".

Well there isn't one, not here anyway.

Sorry guys.

Considering how cheap memory is relative to the price of the DPs, that sounds ridiculous.
