Maybe it was the picture, maybe it was the sound -- it probably was a combination of both: it sounded like a piano with a pedal steel sound. Yes, what I have heard is by far the best midi steel. This one is okay for backing sounds where they are disguised in a sound carpet. If it plays a lead solo, well, it is a piano sounding like a pedal steel.

But often the difficult instruments sound like a piano. The beginning of a note and the ending of a note are often clearly defined, but on most instruments there is not one beginning and not one end. There are multiple variants of both. A piano has only one for a start, a felt hammer hits the key. (Yes I know there are nuances depending of the speed you hit the key.) And two for the ending: 1. it fades, 2. it is stopped by another felt.

But still, I didn't know about that one, it is worth investigating. And in most cases this will be faster and still sufficiant -- compared to set up my pedal steel and practice half a year to play one or two licks.

And by the way, I would not engage in a war. It is not efficiently used energy. You people are too nice for that.
