Domenic claimed someone had cloned the T2 back in the day... I wonder what happened to that?

We certainly have never heard a T2 style played on the MS that sounded anything like a T2!
James is right in the herculean scale of adequately sampling an entire arranger's worth of sounds. Plus, as he well knows, it isn't just about sampling each sound once... you have to take envelopes, modulations and velocity x-splits into account, all across the usable range of the sound. It's just another of those ideas that SEEM like a good idea until you realize the workload involved to get an adequate result...
