So tell us about when you actually played this, Ian... because that's one hell of an assumption (no capitalization necessary!) from someone that probably only heard this today.

Remember, all of Yamaha's SA stuff (or most of it) is concentrated on getting good SOLO performances. Most of them are monophonic. You CAN'T play them in a section. Not live, anyway. This is the first thing I've seen in a realtime keyboard that does anything about SECTION work.

As an arranger player, this technology is very promising. Few of us have two hands to spare for big wide (correct) brass voicing. Something like this, in an arranger, would be at LEAST as useful as any SA stuff.

Keep gazing into your crystal balls, Ian... But pack in trying to pass it off as FACT Once again, you show your zealotry. If Yamaha had introduced this (or the V-Piano ) you would be crowing about it's achievement...
