Subject:New Electro sounds

I just loaded the Electro's new sounds (AcGrand3 and RhodesMkV) and tried
them out for kicks. This is the best acoustic piano I have heard out of the
Electro thus far. However, it does sound pretty bad in mono. It was not
until I played it in stereo that I really liked it.

The same can be said for the older AcGrand4 sound. It is passable in
stereo, but is pretty weak in mono.

I've found that my Electro really comes ALIVE in stereo. Everything sounds
300% better! Organs breathe and sound very airy, the Rhodes with tremolo
are very languid and inspiring, acoustic piano is actually fun. The
Electro's acoustic piano 4 sound reminds me of the old Guaraldi sound on
vinyl...kind of old school muffled. But fun in a quirky way. The new piano
3 is a little brighter and in step with at least the 90's. I am thinking it
may be possible to gig with the new piano 3. We'll see!

I have only checked out the new RhodesMkV sound briefly. It is nice. It
seems to bark very easily, as if there are not as many velocity points. It
is a good combination of the Rhodes 1 and 2 sounds (I was never a big fan of
the Rhodes 3).

Regards,
Eric

p.s. Roland can have their VR760...I'm sticking with the Electro for some
time to come.
