I'm away for one day (live folk music actually) and the thread explodes :o I can follow this in outline, although not the finer details, but my greatest concern is how would you go about proving there was no noticeable difference to the listener? With all the interaction possibilities I suspect there are rather a lot of corner cases. On a slightly divergent point, someone tried to correct a spelling mistake in Yoshi that made a saved parameter invalid, but of all the sounds in all the banks I have, this made a very slight but noticeable change to just one instrument. Had it not been one I use frequently I might still not have realised it. I'm also reminded of the situation when the web was fairly new and people would make copies of copies of jpegs. The differences only got noticeable about 3 steps down, but by then it was too late. The damage had been done. When I show off my music to others, the sound is the first comment (I could wish otherwise) so personally I'm rather twitchy about anything that might alter that, and as a musician I'd rather spend out for a more powerful computer than have a more efficient but possibly compromised mojo. ... of course, as an engineer I would like the greatest efficiency possible - fortunately I don't talk to myself :) Reading this back, it seems rather like a rant. I'm sorry, but 'our' sound has become critical to my compositions. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
