Hi T42, My most recent sample playback instrument was the rack mount Roland 5080,,it also accepted user samples..AIFF and Wav...still the problem I find is playability with dynamics..and most important evenness across the board with no noticeable sample points..It takes a lot of skill to come up with a multisample piano..I don't even think some manufacturers did it right with their flagship models...The only one I like is Rolands Grand x on the G70 and the samples on Roland's RD700sx.. They also have great pianos on the expansion cards..

To me the Yamaha's lack a mid range quality in their pianos.. and Korg is not quite what I like to hear..As always this is personal opinions...

Many of my Pro friends would agree with me..that when it comes to sampling ...let the pros do it..Matter of fact most of the players I know , could care less about the sampling feature for the same reasons I mention..

Someday I would like to hear your samples that you are happy with...I would hope someday that they all [brands] would meet my expectations..

If you record any of your sample work, give me a link to it, I would love to check it out...Fran
