I guess Ernie Rideout doesn't know that Ian is the last word on whether a piano is any good or not!

And chas asked my opinion because he knew I'd be giving it, anyway (and I am a brass player)

Couple more things I'd like to know... Can you use the D-Beam as a 'virtual plunger' on muted patches (that would be AWESOME!)?

And do the saxes and brass have the 'SuperNATURAL' legato/staccato ability similar to SA? All the product page says about it is the auto voicing thing, which could just mean the splits, etc.. We know that Roland HAVE been working on an SA equivalent, and have heard some early efforts in the new Atelier organs...

But this thing at least has the 'potential' to help those not schooled in brass voicings to do a better job, Donny. Just like SA helps those with poor legato technique do a better job with sax emulation. It isn't JUST whether you can play it well. It's whether you can get a bit of help there, too!

I am anxious to try it (my local store stocks FantomG. Can't wait to hear it!).
