Hello Dreamer,

Wow! You just keep 'em coming...Great, great renditions!

I'm ever-so-slightly leaning towards the first rendition of Europa because of the continuous smooth sounding jazz guitar but I could listen to either and enjoy them the same.

As far as pitch bend goes, I don't think I'm hearing pitch bend but I think I hear you using the modulation wheel. Here's a sample with 3 five second snippets. The first is from Europa2. Notice the wavering of the sustained guitar note. The second 5 second piece is from Europa1...Same progression, no wavering. And finally, the third 5 second piece is from the very end of Europa2. Hear that little trilling (I don't know, what do you call it) going on 11 seconds into it? Did you do that effect or did the keyboard do it? Is that what happens when you slur-over two notes with the distortion guitar? I like it, it's cool. I just don't remember hearing something like that out of my board.
