Some good sounds in there, for a mainstream synth. Nothing too new sounding, to me, it keeps crashing Savihost upon preset changing.

There are a lot of great sounds to be found!

I'm confused about one thing. This primarily concerns the first category "The modular piano". The word "realism" was used to describe the category. How much should I consider that when voting? Some of the sounds I really like sound nothing like a piano or a hammered instrument. Can I vote for a synth sound or an organ sound in this category? Are patches to be judged primarily by how well they emulate various hammered instruments?

I guess there's room for interpretation. There are a bunch of amazingly great realistic patches but also some that are a lot of fun despite being less realistic.

From the synth side, "piano" has always been a wide field. We also promoted the idea of a dx-7 style e-piano. That one isn't realistic in itself, but there are some great recreations in there too.

Sheesh. They were on my drive, but not in the zip. Can't explain why. Sorry.

I guess next time we'll take a few days more to doublecheck that we have added all patches that were sent to us.

Uploaded the bank again.
