wov thanks! a lot of good info here!

That Jamstix / Jambass thing looks exactly what I'm looking for, but I need to figure out how to get my laptop to a gig, without having to protect it from raving drunks

Those modules you talk of from Ketron, do they have this ability? I thought they were just sound modules? And that yammie I thought was just a sequencer.. I need to check that out.

Thanks again!
