Very nice tip, thank you!  True, it's a bit plain-sounding but the
sample quality is very good and with a few modifications to the
synthesis model and a bit of extra processing I could see this go a
long way.  I rather like the simplicity of it.

Heh, 76 MB is almost half the size of my main keyboard's sample ROM,
which accommodates a pretty sweet Rhodes as well as the full selection
of instruments you'd expect from a "music production workstation".
Will try this too, sounds juicy. :)

Thanks!
