| Never even heard of it. Do you have an address or a phone number?
$20 isn't that bad if its all its cracked up to be.
It is an interesting concept, but it sounds like it could be snake
oil.

| I've seen the ad a few times, in the spring. They wanted everyone
to send them $20 and then wait. According to the ad, they weren't
going to ship immediately to cut down on bootlegging....
I shudder at the thought...

What you mean ? It's the perfect copy protection scheme !
They never ship any, therefore the public can never illegally
copy same !

... saves on R&D also.
Of course when I *do* come up with the perfect DX7 piano patch (it's
inevitable that I will), they'll scream I stole it!!!

| The issue of 'sharing' patches ("Let's get 5 people to pay $4
apiece...") has been vigorously debated all over town. While the
jury is still out on the legalities of such, I feel fairly certain
DEC would prefer NOT to see invitations posted on the net to do
so.
I suggest that any further conversation along the the lines of .5
be taken 'off-line'.

| 973.7 | Demo tape mini-review | REGENT::SIMONE | | Wed Oct 14 1987 18:14 | 17 |
| Back to the subject of the patch itself...
I ordered the demo tape of the patch. It only cost $2.50. I haven't
ordered the patch yet and I'm not sure if I will.
In some ways, the ad is correct and it is a fairly close imitation
of an acoustic piano. But the imitation is not close enough to
be convincing and I didn't find the sound terribly pleasant.
I think I prefer my existing DX7 piano patch. Even though it has
a more limited range and is not as close an imitation of the real
thing, I find the sound more pleasant.
Perhaps with a little chorusing and reverb...

To .7 Guido:
Good. Keep track of topic 976 where I'll soon post some patches.
Check the sound called SPI_PIANO (Spinet Piano), is not Acoustic
but listen it and tell me about it.
To .6 :
I still don't know the rules of the game.
