I agree a little with what Scottyee said Jerry, but then again this is also something I have the tendency to do myself. In fact there is a song on one of my sites that I pretty much did the same thing with a sax sound. Ya know what ? I don't have to change my breathing to play like that. I like that you say you are a KB flute player. To me, being a synth player is about manipulating sounds in ways that other instruments can't. Where is it written in the "rules" that we have to actually imitate the guy playing the flute anyway ? It's a synth.... I can't make it do hammers and fret noises exactly like a guitarist does.. but I can play more than 4 limbs worth of drum notes if I want.

People love to "kill" Yanni for bending acoustic piano notes, but most of the guys that I see criticizing him couldn't play what he can anyway, nor will most of them ever enjoy the level success he has had. I'm not a big fan of his btw, just realistic, having talked with a few people that remember him from his progressive rock roots and having heard a few snippets of that stuff.

The solo itself sounds nice, and the PA1x sounds magnificent. I can really see me with a 76 key version someday. I just don't know whether it will have all the attributes I need to also make it a suitable controller for my softsynths. I'm thinking that if I can assign the MZ2000 sliders to control my softsynths, ( that's if I get another MZ ) that will likely be my best option short of using a dedicated controller.
