Seriously though Ian..., all joking aside and no smart ass remarks..., but the way you approach this Roland issue with the piano is like Roland did something wrong..., or make it seam that if the inconsistency is there that Roland perhaps didn't do a good job at sampling the piano.

It's no disrespect to you Ian, but I would think that maybe you have grown so used to the way Yamaha has digitally stretched their piano samples (thus taking out the "natural" inconsistency found in real acoustic pianos)..., that when you hear a piano sample that includes this (to you) it may not sound right as you've grown so used to the digital sampled version from Yamaha.

I've heard amazing VST piano samples that are FULL of inconsistency.... That inconsistency along with other factors in the VST sample process is what makes the thing sound so..., ACOUSTIC... and NATURAL.
