Gary... I agree, my SD1 also has 3 intro/endings, which is very helpful. However, my point of curiosity was how many actually USE them... and if so, play along with them.

Scott... I agree with your preference of playing live as much as possible... and for the reasons you stated. Altho I'm not playing out yet, I will be soon and this is one of the many "technicalities" I'm trying to nail down (along with equipment, songlists, setting up registrations, etc.) before going out.

My plan is to play live ~ 75% of the time and with midis ~ 25%. But IMHO, the way to do midis is to remove and/or tone down some of the tracks and then play in full keyboard/pianist mode over the midi. Most comm'l midis are too busy even without playing over them.
