I’m a big fan of Chick Corea’s acoustic and Fender Rhodes playing, but as is also the case with Herbie Hancock, I do not enjoy his synth recordings. It’s not Corea -- it’s the instrument, which I’ve never warmed to, overall. There are a few isolated exceptions. For example, Steve Winwood has on occasion, managed to coax a fairly musical ( to my ears) tone from a synth. I don’t care for heavily processed electric guitar, either, though. I want to be able to discern whether it’s a Tele, Les Paul, 335, strat, etc. Otherwise, why even use instruments? Just generate any tone you please with a computer and call it good. Sorry for the rant. If you enjoy synths, you have many more possibilities to explore. That’s a good thing!
