I agree. I suggest it also depends very much on the player and how well he can emulate the nuances of each instrument.

No matter how good the sample (including VST's), a good part of the perceived realism still depends on the player's skill, and, although great strides have been made in achieving authentic articulation (SA/SA2, DNC, SuperNatural etc.), a trumpet sound, for example, will not be realistic if the performer doesn't allow for breathing and doesn't play in the proper range.



Very nice insight Ian.

My first keyboard (PSR4600) had DASS and the roll bar.

So the piano was always the sound every one stressed, but here we are 15 years after the Tyros 1 and the piano sample is still very much the same. What do you think ?



Kurzweil has a very very nice piano sample that sustains without the piano sample getting "thin" after 5 seconds.
