Peter is a good demonstrator...he is not a great player...as in the top 10 percent...maybe better than average.
When he played the solo instruments on this video..he was unrealistic...his phrasing was not as a flute, sax, or trumpet player would play..and as mentioned ..zero breathing room to even sell a real performance..
I think he depends more on the Yamaha gimmicks than actually playing realistically.. It is also very noticible ..everything he plays is like playing a piano..Real horn players ..lay back a bit in phrasing...that alone would help..
I have an old VHS tape, maybe I can convert it to an MP4...It is Roland's Eric Persing, in mid 80's demo of Roland samples with I think an A series controller..He used a breath controller...as Diki mentions if you are thinking or in this case playing as a breath player...it comes across as real..
BTW: the sample library Eric was using did sound every bit as real as today's stuff..
