It's okay, maybe a little better than average for 'arranger funk' but nobody (that knows music) is ever going to mistake it for the 'real' thing. The guy hits all the right notes and is obviously a good player BUT if you listen to him alongside of say Marco, you'll know the difference. Could Marco Parisi squeeze some funk out of that EA7? Yeah, probably, 'cause it's like Paul always says, it's the keyboardist, not the keyboard. BUT, go back and listen to that George Duke video and then try to tell me that Ketron (or any other MACHINE) has 'live drums'. Be careful how you answer if you still want to call yourself a musician . Hey, in the vernacular of the street, "it is what it is".
