No Mark, you're not. I have M-tron, but am working on the real thing.
If we set aside the purist argument for a moment, I'd say that M-tron's
biggest weakness is the quality of its samples. Some are fairly decent,
but many are wretched - so noisy or so poorly sampled as to be
unusable. However, at $120, if it puts a smile on your face for even a
few months - and you're not planning on getting the real thing anyway -
I'd say you spent your money well. You might seriously look at
investing in the Pinder CD Rom and an old hardware sampler off of ebay
for maybe three to four times the cost (>$500?), for a much higher
quality playback experience. Least that's what I've heard.
best,
