Re: ZR / Coakley, etc.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong--the Coakley pianos are quite decent 
(especially if you download Coakley's "patch fixes" from his 
website), but I also recently got a Yamaha Motif ES, whose triple-
strike piano singlehandedly spanks any piano sound ever made for the 
Proteus line, by a long shot.

Aside from the Coakley piano, I found the ZR ROM to be ultra-bland, 
perhaps even less exciting than an Alesis QS (!!)

Now, the Vintage ROM...that one is genuinely nice!  It is cool and 
funny that they included an SK-1 drumkit!  It makes me laugh every 
time I hear it!
