Hi Matt , Rachael and All,

I think Peter Gannon's mail of 7-6-10 - the one you refer to Matt - settles the issue. I've pasted if below :

<< Hi Ray, You are correct, the pushes will play straight C7 chords.
The pushes (and holds) are in a separate Library. We haven't recorded pushses for every possible chord type - (due to space limitation) just the "main ones" - C, Cm, C7, Cm7, Cdim, Cm7b5, Csus, Csus7

So if you type a C7#9, and want it pushed, you'd hear a C7 on the push instead of C7#9.
Note that the C7#9 will play later in the pattern, just that first stab is the C7 plain. >>

To my reading, Peter is saying that RT holds (as well as pushes) use the basic triad only - which is why it sounds so incongruous, I'd thought it was midi interjecting itslef somehow....!

Sadly, I think this means that RT holds and pushes are pretty hard to use with normal jazz numbers - unless you're prepared to have an insistent simple triad in there....(and, to my ear, a simple triad louder than the rest of the piano RT too...) ?

What do you think ?

Thanks again - Best - Andy
