"Pseudo orchestral sound" and original research

I don't know who wrote this, but it is spot-on accurate:

> Bands that do not use live orchestral instrumentation on their recordings or when playing live typically utilize factory presets on > workstation keyboards (i. e., strings, choirs, pianos, pipe organs etc.) to conjure up a "pseudo-orchestral" sound, where parts are > played idiomatically according to keyboard technique.

It *does* need some citations which might be not that easy to find because 1. "serious" musicological treatises hardly mention B-list eurometal bands and 2. B-list eurometal bands rarely mention "pseudo orchestral sound".

But it is incredibly accurate. "Idiomatically according to keyboard technique" is spot-on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.249.3.147 (talk) 13:11, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
