But I call them BASIC chords, needed for almost everything one plays, and ALL of them get switched 100% to MIDI guitar sounds when played. That remains unacceptable to me.

Add to that that simple extensions get [b]added to basic full six note chords, rather than being recorded that way, so, a sixth chord turns a six string guitar into a seven string guitar, a 6/9 turns a six string into an eight string guitar... If you aren't very picky about guitar realism, I suppose it's just FINE..!

Me, I'm prepared to wait for the technology to be able to play a recording of the chord that I play, not have the basic sound butchered by incorrect voicings. I thought the whole POINT of audio guitar recordings was to sound EXACTLY like a guitar. To my ears (to be honest, I don't particularly care what consensus a bunch of non-guitar playing keyboard players comes up with ) it fails to be convincing, and when it comes to gear I want to purchase, only my own opinion matters![/B]
