You wrote: “It's hard enough to just play & control an arranger & all it's features & functions all at the same time. All this while jumping off to a joystick also. The pedal you mentioned could be a viable option for sure leaving your hand available to play & manipulate buttons, flip pages or whatever."

After a certain amount of time (and if you keep pushing yourself) one day it all comes together. It's like when you're out in your car....you're simultaneously steering, talking to your passenger, changing radio stations, checking your rear view mirrors, LOOKING OUT FOR SPEED TRAPS (had to throw that in) and whatever else you do while driving. Think about it…you've been doing it so long it becomes 2nd nature! That’s what happens with playing.

Most of us don't even have to look when we reach for the "wheels." We’ve just come to know where they are from constant use!

"BTW my S900 arrived & I'm in arranger heaven WOW!"

Good for you...you've got 7 days and 7 nights to learn the profession now with no excuses.

BTW...I really appreciate your enthusiasm. I think it "kick-starts" a lot of us. It does me, at least.

Lucky
