Fair enough, James... Yep, I gotta admit, I'm looking a LOT more at speed and convenience when playing than the ultimate accuracy and detail. Guess that's part of growing older (or slower!)...

I am also tied (by familiarity, hardware, software and inertia!) to an older Mac computer that hasn't got the oomph to power these more modern VSTi's and stuff, so, in a way, I'm closer to many of our members here in that respect, and simply base many of my opinions on what I HEAR on these demos. And, as good as this stuff gets, simply LISTEN to the first part of that WIVI demo, and, I'm sorry, but it don't sound like no horn player I know...

In practice, it may be much better. But when simply LISTENING, I have to confess, much of that didn't do a damn thing for me. And I AM a horn player. it was my major and I still play forty years later. I think I got a right to have my own opinion on that issue...

Strictly as a keyboard player, I got to say the occasional 'Wow!'. But as a horn player, I'm afraid I got to give the occasional 'Sorry... better luck next time!'
