   I've done that with the piano voices on the  DX7 and to me it sounds like a   
   'drunk' piano...maybe ready to throw up ;)

   Did that one too...interesting effect....but of course to play like that,   
   the left hand has to stop playing the keys and operate the pitch bend wheel   
   instead.

   "Young people" nowadays tend to be Mindless Zombies, and don't even know   
   what sound is all about, which is why they listen to Crap on Crap   
   equipment...they probably have no idea what a *Real* *Stereo* system is,   
   much less actually heard one....maybe they heard their grandparents speak   
   longingly of how Awesome they sounded way back in the 'old days'.   
   They probably figure...why have some big old 'old school' equipment with   
   those big speakers when you can put some mobile device in their pocket and   
   hear tunes anywhere, anytime - and all in 'glorious' Over Compressed, Over   
   Clipped, loudly-recorded-as-possible Programmed sounds from the Trance   
   genre! Yeah, they sure care about sound all right, the sound of   
   CRAP...because that's the only thing they've ever gotten to hear and have No   
   Idea what Awesome sounds like!!!

   It can sound like the real instruments using various effects.

   But the authenticity, of Awesome sounding instruments of course, adds to the   
   Vibe...and so do various effects when used properly...namely in such a way   
   that it Sounds Good, or Great - actually I prefer Orgasmically Awesome,   
   because that does wonders for the Love Vibe!

   And what mindset might that be? ;)

   Sounds like that character who saves up all his disapproval just for you,   
   and when someone else does the same thing, it's okay with him.

   What does being Serious about the Art of Music have to do with putting one's   
   life at such risk?

   Jim   
      
   Me too, which is why I wrote 40 - and probably soon to be 41 Original NEW   
   tunes, all written in the 21st Century...because the sound of New material   
   is Critical to the Survival of Music in general and rock & roll in   
   particular.   
      
   But WHAT KIND of new is it that you like the souond of?
