Hi cgiles .

Regardless of how realistic the sounds are, aren't you limited to some degree by having to use a keyboard as a controller. Some playing techniques for other instruments are pretty hard to duplicate with a keyboard. Plus, don't you need to THINK (and phrase) like a seasoned guitarist or sax player or.....what have you.


By default the sheer size of the sounds will instantly make the superior to that of a closed keybaord. I have a Guitar sound for example that's 4 times the size of the Tyros 3 entire ROM and the detail is simply breathtaking. Fair enough, this is premium content I paid big bucks for or but still... at least I can pay for the sounds and used them on the Medaistation.

Even if I just play the sound like a keyboard player, it still sounds infinitely superior to a sound on a closed keyboard.

So, I'm not trying to say it will sound exactly like a real guitar player like this, I'm saying here that it will simply sound superior in every way imaginable to the guitar sounds on any closed keyboard.

To go beyond that and emulate an actual guitarist then Yes, I will have to load a Multi Layered sound and play it a certain way.

This is no problem and it's very easy to do once you play with the sound and remember what way you need to control it.

Take a look at the second video I uploaded for example on Loading Giga Files. In there I play a Scottish Pipe and a Ullean Pile sound straight. Both are complex instruments and I think I pulled them off quite well.

James
