<DIV>Hi Alan !</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You rise an interesting strange point here, when saying that =
you can
only play a digital piano for about half an hour. I feel exactly =
the
same. Even though the synthetic thing gets closer and closer to =
the real
thing, one's intuition still can clearly (very clearly) make the =
difference
between them, and the synthetic is still boring and makes the listener
tired. Makes me think of fake light (spots etc) versus day =
light.
Same scenario. Your eyes never get tired of daylight. =
What is
amazing me is that the real thing is always much more complex than =
the fake
one. How comes that a more complex thing gives us more rest than a =
more
simple one ?</DIV>
