Well; from one Mike to another Mike - congratulations!! That Motif Rack sure puts out some nice sounds. Don't forget to keep your eye on a possible Motif ES rack too. Double the Polyphony, mucho more Wav Rom, Mega Voices, plus an all around better sound. That is, if you want to continue to stay on the cutting edge sonically.

So, let me get this straight. You have your performances all set up in the Motif Rack before you head to your Gig. You start the playback in the Rack and Steve jams with the guitar and you jam on Bass along with the Rack performances? Cool! Good way to cut down on Band members.

And having to dole out the proceeds to them too.
Btw, instrumentalists are people too and deserve what they get. I mean that in a good way.

Much success to you and Steve in your endeavour.
Best regards,
Mike
