The Audya violin is very expressive. I love it. If I had it on my Tyros I'd use it all the time. (If it's such a simple sound as someone mentioned, perhaps it would be very easy to sample.)
I do not believe John's sample came from a keyboard. It sounds like a VSTi. And if that's the case, it's not a fair comparison... In fact it's a potshot at nielshs.
(Unless I'm wrong and it is from a keyboard. But it's definitely not a Yamaha or Korg sample.)
