Hi MG,

quote/ Regarding vibrato: Do you do that from your keyboard, too? It is pretty hard to envision playing and handling a mod wheel too.

NO, I don't have a mod wheel on my keyboard. You found the right way to use it! You will have fun with that. Hooking a keyboard up to your computer doesn't require much. Most are a simple USB connection. Mine sits on an "L" shaped shelf the same height as my desk and is within arms reach. All I have to do is spin around in the chair, or, I can play right hand parts and watch the monitor at the same time.

quote:/ pausing now and again to revisit a condensed Thunderbird.

I think that same "Thunderbird" inspired my early morning performance.

Cheers,
Fred
