Usually I would edit these things or add a few more layers and effects. I've made a few tracks with spontaneous keyboard playing (in this case virtual keyboard playing with the mouse and keyboard). I was using mx44 without effects. Unlike zynaddsubfx where you have to enable the sound for additional midi channels, mx44 has them all enabled by definition. So while playing with it, I could send a note-on to one channel with note-off being sent to another, causing the note to hold indefinitely. Once I discovered that I stopped playing and immediately began recording without a great deal of preparation or rehearsal (though many other elements were explored in previous tracks). So I guess the criticism falls down to my spontaneity, which is difficult to... unsure how to say ...without forcing things. Not quite, no. Not with that sound, not at all.
