Then towards the top of the Soundfont page this guy sampled his Gibson L-5 guitar, listen to the MP3 of Sweet Georgia Brown. Don't listen to the midi for the sound comparison for this.

That, to me, is what a jazz guitar sounds like as compared to what I have heard on any arranger keyboard, or workstation as far as that goes.

Can anyone here even come close to getting that sound on their keyboard? As good as they all are, including the Tyros 2, which is too fat of a sound, unrealistic IMHO, this free soundfont beats them all.

This is one reason I have chosen to use a laptop on it's side for fake book lead sheets rather than the MusicPad Pro. I will be using the free VirMus program and/or pdf format.

Among all the other normal things you can do on a laptop, you can easily have softsynth solo voices in addition to the great sounds that are already on our keyboards.

Check out truepianos.com to hear what I think is the most realistic piano out there with quick load time and 128 polyphony.
