Interesting the same thing can be said about your position of "perfection" as it relates to Yamaha Ian. Why is it every time someone praises Yamaha and hints at perfection you're all game, but the moment something Roland related is associated with "perfection"..., you do what you can to point out it's imperfections????

Roland's not perfect..., I like their gear, but don't think twice about saying something of theirs just sucks balls. I like Roland, but feel their orchestral stuff isn't all that great.., which is why I use my YAMAHA for music that requires good orchestral instruments. As much as I love Roland..., I'll be one of the first to say they're FAAARRRRRRRRR from perfection.

Yes...., EVERYONE cheats on the samples. It's not just Yamaha. Some however cheat a little mroe than others. You ever think that the reason we so often hear Yamaha's piano samples being described with adjectives like "lifeless, brittle, and thin" is because perhaps they've cheated so much that it results in a piano that sounds "TOOOOO PERFECT".., thus sounding less realistic....
