My point about the samples is that in the right hands, they probably sound better. I've said it many times on PG boards, that quantized midi playback is one of the 'markers' to me that make me go 'ugh'. All of the longboard audio demos are poorly chosen midi sequences, heavily quantized, with almost no expression or playing dynamics. If that's a result of the board, then I'll pass, but my guess is that it was simply laziness on E-MU's part.

Let John Novello or Robert Walter loose on the B3 patches and then help me make my choice!

I realize it isn't a Nord Electro, but then again, the Electro doesn't have mod wheels and synth patches on board. To get that, you have to buy the Nord Stage (warning - clicking on the following link may induce GAS) http://www.nordkeyboards.com/main.asp?tm=Products&clpm=Nord_Stage_EX&clnsm=Information
