Unlike POP rom it doeasn't cover typical GM pallete like piano sounds (it has some great keys though, like the clavinet preset which sounds rich and bright).

Thanks, that gives me some hope :-) Of all mentioned genres
electronica sounds the closest to what I'm doing recently. As I'm
going to use it mostly for "having a rhythm section" in my music and
provide a heartbeat for my other synths, basses and kits will do
(however, even MORE basses than in P2K?). Regarding the piano sounds,
I've heard MP7 is capable of making some decent electric pianos... I
also hope that the raw instruments offer somewhat wide palette, so
with the use of filters and some modulation I can get something not
targeted towards the neybahood gangsta.
