acoustic? ACOUSTIC???

[Michael Jorgensen]

Hi Jim,
   Right on! concerning  those digital keyboards.  Piano tone is more
than the sum of copied tones. It's a blend, so the board vibrates
uniquely for each harmony.   Are all possible chords equal to 88 to the
88th power?  Add 100 dynamic levels for each note and the possible
sounds (vibrational patterns) becomes to the 188th power?  Multiply more
to cover for swell, sustain, una-chorda, etc. So what if the computer
does synthesize all this?  It's still only one piano and there are
millions more unique pianos to go. It should take about 88
quintiligigananomegabytes to duplicate, and we didn't discuss the touch
problem. Must say i do find these digitals fun but they always bore me
after a while.
