This HIGHLIGHTS the big advantage of organzing Synthzone Arranger KB get togethers. This offers the best opportunity for players to atually see and learn first hand how others play & navigate on their keyboards, picking up arranger kb tricks from others. I encourage everyone to find and connect with the arranger keyboard players in your local area, and for all those who can make it to California, to attend our Synthzone 'get together' in San Jose on May 22nd & 23rd.

Barring this, the playing & performance tips shared here by the pros, as well as audio (MP3) & video clips (WMV) posted are I suppose the next best thing to being there. In addition to adding more MP3 song demos to my web page, I'm planning to include more WMV video clips now as well. Most digital 'still' cameras these days include a video clip recording feature which allows you to record short 20-60 sec clips which can then be easily be converted to WMV format (via Windows Media Encoder: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/encoder/default.aspx ) for posting on the internet. I know for a fact that a number of other members here own digital still cameras which include 'video clip recording', so I'm challenging you guys to take my lead & begin sharing your video clips here as well. As confucious say: "A Video Clip is worth more than ten thousand words, yeah?" - Scott
