I totally DISAGREE! 96 ppq will NOT capture all the 'subtle nuances' of an orginal live performance recording. Perhaps for music where a quantized robotic sound is desired (aka techno & rap) a lower PPQ is fine, but for music where accurately capturing the the original performance is critical, the higher the PPQ the better . . . PERIOD!

I disagree again. I for one, as well as many of my friends & associates (musicians & non musicians alike) are often able to easily distinguish between' a recording recorded at 1920 ppq vs 96 ppq. A recording at 96 lacks the 'life & spark' of the original live performance while recording at 1920 ppq retains it. The difference may often be subtle, but the difference heard is: music sounding sterile (unemotional) vs music sounding 'truly involving'.

A similar comparison can be made to how a regular television picture looks compared to viewing hi definition Television (HDTV), or how a grainy still picture looks compared to a hi resolution image.

An arranger's maximum PPQ can also affect how the arranger keyboard's 'styles' sound as well.

I for one 'WELCOME' 1920 ppq on the Yamaha Tyros & PSR2000/2100 and both in its song as well as style sequencers. I'm convinced that this contributes to the particularly impressive 'live' sound of these keyboard's styles.
