Hi,

Good list! Looks like the start of a tutorial.

Did you review the instruments under Vita? There are differences between what is found there and the individual instruments. Vital Power Chords, for example, I didn't find in any of the other guitars. Did you?

What may be interesting for new users is knowing what is available under Vita that is sufficient, and then they can concentrate on the individual instruments that they really need for purchase or using coupons. (I have all of the instruments.)

What would also be great would be for someone to make a listing of all of the instruments having articulations, and describing what they are (big task). Have you looked at this at all?

There is a Grand Piano LE containing the default and the full version of the Grand Piano. There are also acoustic pianos in Vita. The sound between the Grand Piano and Acoustic is quite noticeable.

I have been in the Vita . "Power Chords" guitar does have that classic sound , it is pretty good .

the Premium Instruments do have extra quality at times , compared to the Vita , and with 8 extra Premium synths to choose , it is a suggestion of what to look for .
