I am especially intrigued by demo 5 and the Steel Find Guitar. Can't for the life of me figure out how it's pulling off the strums and picking at the same time..!

Nice to hear the Keith Emerson quote, too!

I have to admit, there's a hair too much compression on the whole deal, whether added at the arranger or in post. Seems to squash it a bit much, and, despite the formidable skill of all the players, the mix is still a bit 'more me' when the drums come in most of the time. Even the best of us fall victim to this! But as usual, I'm just nitpicking... The guitar emulation on all of them is quite superb. Especially the jazz stuff. Nailed it!

I've got a feeling that, when (if!) I get mine, I'll be programming a fair bit of delayed vibrato on many of the lead voices. Without aftertouch to bring it in, seems like the player has to lift the LH a lot to get much expression into longer notes. Some long delayed vibrato might help out there...

But once again, proof that the player makes the axe... These guys could make anything shine! Bet you, put them on my old G70, you'd all be out scouring Ebay!
