Well it's kind of how I feel about guitars and drums and amplication and real ambience being gone in exchange for convenience and quiet recordings.

And im sure you as a piano player know that you can never emulate a real piano electronically, but it can sound really good in it;s own right.

I learned the piano I know from playing at a friends house. Or from playing the keyboard players keys when the gear was at my place.

But piano is a percussive instrument, just have to listen to Billy Joels stuff to hear that, it's not the same thing, the physically banging of the keys just like the touch of a drum kit can never be perfectly matched.

Yeah, thats how it is now
