The chpn_op53_gnulem.ogg file made me think of a harpsicord, at least

for the first 20 seconds and any other time that the playing is fast. 
The file chpn_op53_coggie.ogg sounded much better but still I think the

beginning sounds terrible.  
In both cases I think the scales sound very mechanical.  I went and

listened to some performances on YouTube, and they sounded much better.

BTW, I rather liked this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZGi49Bnghs
BTW, every one is entitled to like what they like, and want the tools

they want to use, but based on those two files (and I know only one was

done on the XG) I'm not clear on what the fascination with the

Yamaha DB60XG (NEC XR-385) is.  Do you have other files that better

demostrate it?  How hard is it to get the card to do the flamenco guitar

type stuff that the wikipedia page refers to?
