Yep, I can just picture Beethoven wailing away on his Casio MZ-X while his Steinway sat gathering dust in the corner. IN MY OPINION, we have/need to distinguish between technology and art. Technology, in and of itself, can duplicate art, replicate art, even ASSIST in the production of art, but it can't REPLACE (or even CREATE) art; because art is a HUMAN thing....and music IS art. AND, that Steinway will still be standing long after the MZ-X has joined the Discovery-5 in the dustbin of musical history. But I could be wrong.....
