I am around a while on the mo song forum and other forums and I have noticed some comments about playing not correct acoustical instruments, because of wrong breath or lag of breath technics and playing about the register ranges of the acoustical instrument itself.

A synthesizer is a musical instrument in its own right.

Re: is it a crime?
I think Joop has a point here. A synthesizer is an instrument on his own and with his own rights.

Re: is it a crime?
To answer your question, YES you are allowed, UNLESS you want another musician that is playing the real instrument your mimicing to play back what you’ve gave him.

Of course you can do whatever you want. That’s not the point here (I think). You can put your Motif XS out in the garden if you like. It’s permitted.

Re: is it a crime?
I have to get behind DaveP on this. The “character” and the range of the instrument are key in making it “sound realistic”. I too have heard work done by people who use keyboards to execute Horns,Reeds and Strings and swore that there was a roon full of musicians playing. Dave once pointed out many posts ago,that when one is using Horns and Reeds,particularly in an “orchestra” format, each must be treated individually to get the “feel/sound” of a band.
