It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

I might be missing something, but... I never got a satisfactory explanation re: Zenph

I inquired as to what degree that progress was hands-off computer number crunching and to what extent there was human intervention, and the answer I received was not at all satisfactory.

On many modern, computer/MIDI-based piano playback systems, there is the ability to "go back in" to the command files and literally clean things up--move events in time, change the nature of an event, etc.

My position on the matter is, sure, Rachmaninoff cut some piano rolls. But unless there is a computer program that takes what is on the piano roll and translates it to a modern playback piano system with no human intervention, then... we are hearing some fallible human's IMPROVEMENT or RE-INTERPRETATION of a piano roll.

Which I don't have a problem with. What I do have a problem with is the PR claim that what we are hearing is 100% Rachmaninoff.


Chris, what is your take on that?
