I like the idea of structuring the 2 day event the way Eric Bott has out-lined. A 'come one' 'come all' massive group arranger KB jam session is NOT what I had envisioned. Arranger keyboards were principally designed to be played as solo instruments, or with an added acoustic instrument or vocalist, so having many mutiple arranger keyboards played at once, and people playing at very different proficiency levels, or who specialize in very different musical genres/styles, would imho only create a cacophonic nightmare of noise.

I recommend instead, scheduling member performances throughout the day to allow each person to showcase their music (either solo or with other performers: vocals, acoustic instrumentalists, or duo arranger KBs), and then possibly followed by a group question/answer session, and then possibly a workshop held the following day to focus on learning specific playing techniques of that performer. If time permits, on the last day, for those interested, I suppose a massive group jam session might be arranged.

There's a lot of musical talent & diversity among us, so I feel that the above format will offer attendees the best opportunity to experience all the many different ways each of us uniquely plays our arranger kbs. Of course the big thing about having a Synthzone get together is the friendship & comraderie between fellow arranger keyboard enthusiasts, but I'd really like to find out now what each of you personally 'would like' to get out of an event like this. - Scott
