Yamaha CS80

Hi,

Yes, I have done that, but, I loose *playability* and performance. 
The problem with the sampler is I cannot do the inspired ring-mods on
the fly in the tune so I loose the feel.  Of course, I could have
sampled the drone and I'll do that next time (would've saved on pitch
correcting it all the way).

Thanks!
