Re: [CZsynth] A keyboard which produces realistic Piano, Brass section & Strings?

2004-01-21 by Andrew Bohachewsky

Very cool site Simon! As someone who began life as a classical pianist I 
have to say that I haven't come across any "fake pianos" that sound better 
AND feel better than the CP70 - must be the physicality of real hammers 
hitting real strings to produce sound (the fact that I prefer a real stiff 
action might make me dislike the feel of fakes more than others...). Then 
again I drag a Rhodes around for gigs due to lack of an acceptable 
substitute... I must be either very picky, crazy, or a glutton for punishment.
