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..


How about you Fran...do you have any recordings of yourself emulating sax or trumpet etc.?

The G-70 has no "gimmicks" to rely on, so it would have to come down to your own skill as a player in emulating these instruments, which is what I expect that you would prefer (no gimmicks)...or would having SA/SA2 type voices be a benefit on something like the G-70?

Ian, the problem with what I called gimmicks..it becomes a crutch, that a player depends on too much..As for me being a capable player to showcase a sax etc...basically I know you need to layback in phrasing and leave breathing room...other than that I I also play as a keyboard player smile
