How is what the girl is doing any different from many kareoke performer? Yet, sitting behind the keyboard tends to create a total illusion to the passersby.
If her entire act is made up of floppys and basically loading files...she's bought herself an awefully expensive kareoke machine, hasn't she?
This case may be the extreme...Performers who use MIDI files to enhance their arrangements but not rely on them 100% don't deserve to be lumped in with the situation Rog described.
I play in full keyboard mode over styles. If I play the wrong fully constructed chord, then its apparent to everyone. I surely can't hit a "start" button and sit back and relax.
All of this said...what does it say that a girl like this gets a nice gig on a cruise ship? Perhaps she is the manager or organiser of the trio, who knows? Maybe she owns the PA, lol...
Do I like it? No...
Do I consider it as good (a subjestive term, I know)as someone who actually plays the instrument? No...
Do I still have to give her credit however for working at the level she is? Yes...
