Buggy Whips [was]Re: [sdiy] Should I repair my Fostex, or should I go HD recording?

[harrybissell]

a point that has not been adequately made... we are comparing samplers to
the archetypical grand piano... in perfect condition and tune. Compare
them to
the (lets say) 'better than average' piano... (perhaps an upright?) and we
would
have a more level playing field.

Complaints about the velocity and touch are another problem. Again the
comparison
is between the BEST PIANO one has ever touched and a mass produced Roland
or
Fatar.   Why not compare ten pianos (lets say) at random agains ten synth
controllers.
I bet there is a lot more consistance in the synth controllers.  Like it
better, or not is another
issue.

The sampler will not ever (imho) match the top .05% of acoustic pianos.
It will give the
rest a real run for the money.

thank GOD we are talking keyboards and not guitars.

How many guitarists does it take to change a lightbulb ?

FIFTY !!!

one to change the bulb and forty-nine to lament how the "new bulb is just
not the same
as the old bulb..."   :^P
