"Piano" is a preset. "Trumpet", "Cello", "Hammond B4" are presets.
Clearly timbre is not the determinant in deciding what has "cultural
worth".
First off, I can't stand the cult of authenticity. I value
construction over authenticity in art.
Second, it would be a lot of fun to compose using presets only. I keep
contemplating how such a project might work.
