I completely agree, Dennis. I was just doing a little tongue in cheek because sometimes I think that we focus sometimes on things that are so easy to work around, while other more important things get a free pass.

The E80's and GW-8's drum and patch maps are freely available, so it isn't that big a job to llok up what sound was in the original style, and pehaps find an equivalent. Drum sounds, in particular, can often be fixed just by picking a different kit (which may have the same layout as the E80 one).

The only thing about the E80 was that it had a few 'live loops' in some of the kits, whole 'grooves' of, e.g., ride cymbal patterns, in which just ONE note triggered a whole groove. Only looking at the drum maps will find these out, I'm afraid.
