Thank you, Theodore, for the most enlightening responce. I was hoping more from Bandstand. There is some freeware bundled with Receptor, and will get my feet wet there first. I am hoping for faster changes if I preload multies in RAM. Also, there is a 30 day trial period on the prestige plug-ins.

Frank mentioned a compromise on quality for style sounds, and better quality for lead. I am sure he is right. At any rate the fun shall begin Thursday, and will report my findings as I go along.

Thanks for you help
Bernie
