| Limitation | Impact | |------------|--------| | No true legato | Slides/hammer-ons require pitch bend or separate samples | | No dynamic articulation switching | Keyswitches must be manual (separate MIDI tracks) | | Larger memory footprint | SF2 loads all samples into RAM (~300–500 MB vs 200 MB NKX) | | No DFD (Direct from Disk) | Higher RAM usage | | No convolution reverb or cabinet sim | Must use external amp sims (e.g., Poulin Le456, NadIR) |
