Other SuperNATURAL technology ??

The violin sounds rock! After watching the videos, it seems that the technology is similar to the AP-Synthesis on the V-synth GT.

The articulations sound good, but it does not sound like the samples have been improved. Not that they are bad, but so far everything I have heard with the new Articulation from Roland sounds great when you use the articulation effects and then average when you are not using the articulation.

Anyway, the Jazz Organ sounded VERY GOOD! Was that Joey DeFrancesco playing?

The cello is bad, very bad. However, the trombone and the violin sound astounding. I agree with Madahorn when saying that the samples themselves have not improved and I want to underline that the piano grand demo of the G on the Roland site doesn't sound convincing. I remember an old commercial "where is the meat?" - that's what I thought hearing that piano sound, it has a nice attack, maybe a little too pointy, very Yamaha-styled, but the sustain ... comes from reverb and other cheap tricks, not from a longer sample - something I realized "the method" exists even on my X, people usually complaing about the middle section but I personally find annoying when playing the upper piano section - the part that usually has no sustain on an acoustic grand (it vibrates naturally without no meddling of the pressed sustain pedal, except maybe of the sympathetic resonance) because the sustained portion on X (and from G - from what I hear) closes the gap between the full sound portion and the no sound portion very quickly on those high notes, not decaying in a natural sequence. However, I don't put a full verdict on G pianos by just hearing the Roland demos on site, because I had a very bad impression of the "Ultimate Grand" from what I heard from the demos at that time and I've been really pleasantly surprised by hearing the sound itself from my X when it came wrapped up to my door ). So there is still room for improvement on the way from demos to the G itself.
