By "Faking" I didn't mean faking sounds or whatever, only "faking your performance". If showing off your playing skills is what your audience want to see/hear in your show, overblowing your audience with thick layers of automated parts will make people in doubt if you are playing a SMF and are faking ALL of your playing....a.k.a. Mimmicking...you've sureley seen or been there : "stageperformers" who perform on a synth without line outs or even a power chord being plugged in. And if you do a good job on playing you don't want people to believe that you're one of those fake performers. that's what I meant.
