Uncle Dave Pt 2

I think it is a mistake to try to combine new programs, e.g., GM500 and JammerLive with the expectation they will work together. I expect down the line, they will work well together. Right now I am slowly learning JammerLive by itself. The next step will be to use it like a QY-70 either to expand the style selection of my PSR-8000 or to provide arranger capabilities to another keyboard (such as a Yamaha S80). In either case, the sounds will be provided by the keyboard. There will be no need for a workstation, only a 2-3 lb laptop will be required, e.g., Sony CS-1x or whatever (the one with the built-in video camera).

If I did not have a good arranger keyboard, I would get one. But given that I have one, I do not want to feel I must upgrade everytime a new model is introduced. If JammerLive can be used as a way of extending the style prowess of the PSR-8000, it will serve me well.
