If you remember that we are even now still living largely in the age of mono, and will probably continue to do so in certain areas (centre cluster PA, fringe area radio reception) for some time to come, then if you use stereo drums or loops without coherence on then your entire track will be messed up. If you use a stereo sample without the coherence on, then it will probably sound alright when played back in stereo, but when played back in mono it will sound dreadful because the two channels will be slightly out of sync and there will be phase cancellation. This particularly useful for piano sounds, and vital for stereo samples. The coherence feature of the S1000 creates a slight delay so that the software can detect a chord being played and it can then output all the notes simultaneously. This causes a slight but noticeable spreading of the chord.
