I hear ya. I don't hate or even dislike the sounds. In fact, I like the NEW
synth and sample models for the reasons Dave Bradley dislikes them. I prefer
the sampled sound of a real instrument rather than the sound of an instrument
being imitated (which is what Moogs and mellotrons attempted to do). Just my
own preference.
