I don't mean that you should go out and get your own Bosendorfer or a Steinway though, of course. ;) Even the Kurtzweil or the Synclavier versions of the acoustic piano sound peculiar to me, though if they are jammed along with tons of other things going on in the background (like put a couple of tracks of OB8 soft 'strings', a bunch of twinkling DX sequences on top, a real guitar, real drums, Emu+Moog bass etc.), I say they don't sound too bad. ;) There's nothing like the real grand piano fed through two-stage DD and EQ with a touch of the Aphex Aural Exciter. ;) >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Mike Mackovitch University of Illinois @ Urbana/Champaign >Engineering Computer Science Co-op msm26708@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu >"I don't worry 'bout a thing, 'cause I know nothing's gonna be all right." > -Mose Allison >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ / \\\\\ S h i n K u r o k a w a shin@rainbow.uchicago.edu [128.135.4.33] ^ //// Research Institutes,Univ.of Chicago {mimsy,ncar,rutgers}!oddjob!shin @ \@ 5640 S.Ellis Ave., Chicago, IL 60637 USA - Fax:(312)7025863 v ) Eat more rice!! --
