Subject:Re: Roland VR 09 Combo organ example

In general, I never found a sax sound I liked on any ROMPLER or softsynth until I got my Roland Integra 7. Hands down the most realistically "acoustic" sax sounds I've ever heard produced digitally, including some of the harshness. And you can adjust many of the properties, including breath noises. The trumpets are the best I've heard on a ROMPLER, as well, and I can compare them to the SRX version, since the Integra has every SRX card built it. I say this here because the VR 09's "new" acoustic sounds are essentially the same SuperNatural sounds used by the Integra, including the B3 emulations and pianos. Except that the VR 09's organs offer more features important to organists, such as adjustable vibrato (which the Integra does not offer, a real flaw) and on-the-fly drawbar adjustments (you can adjust the drawbars on the VR-09 on the panel and through software, but unless you're a MIDI programming whiz there's no easy way to adjust them on the fly using an external keyboard.
