The reason I purchased the piano sound was hearing it on Jerry Korb's Mark 
I (that machine's a killer).  I also got the "smooth organ" (which in no 
way is any reference to any one of Martin's body parts) and the rock 
guitar.  Hence the "dreary set".

Had I known the sounds better, I might have gone for the lower 1-2 octaves 
of the rock guitar and the lower 1-2 octaves of the oboe as a set to free 
up a sound selection for something else.  Each of those sounds in the upper 
octave become somewhat grotesque to my ears, but in the lower registers 
they're fine.  I wish the oboe was recorded an octave lower (if that's 
possible in the range of the oboe).

M400 #805 - needs more octaves
M400 #1037 - needs more working keys
