Not as much ass as downloading huge files over a slow connection. Joe 
synth buyer would probably just lose interest. I personally, am okay 
with MP3s, it paints a fair approximation of what the module can do. 
Using 192bps MP3s is probably fine for demoing at a friends house. I've 
found it's much easier to impress by just inviting someone over and 
fiddling with knobs ;)

I think Paul's demo MP3s sound fantastic! I bought my MOTM based solely 
on them. My favorites:

Ken Elhardt's french horn. 'Nuff said.
Charles Stella's dub style motm section.
Robert Rich' s Track #9 from Outpost
Scott Juskiw's Toads in the woods by the babbling brook.
