They all sound like utter shite next to the real piano, don't they!

I'm going to try the MIDI file on my favorite sampled piano, the 
Kurzweil K250, next to the others to see how it does.

Even though the real piano recording is a little murky (probably 
because of the room, but also by comparison since samples lack the 
sympathetic vibrations), the others all get into the "bite" tone 
range way too quickly, have phasing problems, or have plastic notes. 
And the phasing and plastic problems are usually at softer velocities.

Solo classical piano is quite clearly not the right application for samples.

Very interesting. Thanks for posting that!
