Okay. I've written about this thing a few times already. Why? It is worth every dollar you pay for it. I have had 4 and gave each one to a friend to keep for club gigs. Each time I thought, "Get better modules, spend more and get better sound quality", so in time, I bought a Roland SC-880, JV-1010, 2080, Korg 03R/W, X5DR, and an Alesis QS4. I keep coming back to the G-Mega.
This is the best general midi module period. It will outperfom any 32 or 64 voice module in processor speed and polyphony. Also it is the cleanest sounding unit. It has 32 true voices and with 32 channels (A/B midi in), the G-Mega is like having 2 synths in one.
As a dedicated synth, it will not cut it. It's individual sounds are thin. But use it as a GM unit as a backing band or laying down demos, and you have a great sounding mix. Somewhere between the Roland sound and the Yamaha sound.
The Alesis, Korg, and Roland I had came with built-in serial interfaces. Only the G-Mega could keep up with all 16 midi tracks playing at once in a complicated sequence. The SC-880 was very close, and sadly, the Korgs and Alesis QS4 lost notes with just 10 midi tracks playing at once. Those synths advertise 32 or 64 voices, but to playback certain sounds, you lose polyphony quick.
I have since sold my Rolands and the Alesis, but will keep the Korgs. Once again, I am going to buy a G-Mega.
