Oh boy, here we go. Fred Simon said, >>But sound, and the emotional/musical effect of sound, is made of information ... lots and lots of information, and the finer the resolution of the expression of that information, the deeper the emotional content of what is imparted. A synth's chips can hold only so much, and the sheer amount of nuance present in, say, ten seconds of a real acoustic or electric guitar performance would quickly fill up and overflow even the largest ROM/RAM blocks in the most high-end synth.>>
I remember being amazed, AMAZED at how much more detailed my first (and last) guitar sounded than recordings of much finer instruments did on my home stereo. Too bad I couldn't play. heh heh I have to laugh to keep from crying. Lama "I am La Tuneless. Pity me."
