As I play more live I look to simplify things Scott. I'm used to my AJM2006 system as well, but I agree with Frank that it might be easier if I did it in a hardware board like Open Labs as my control surface as opposed to going from my controller to the laptop.

I will say that my sounds, particularly the lead voices, are substantially better to me than what I get from my PA80, and better than my Motif ES to the point that it's worthwhile to use some of them during live play. But.... I miss having some of the adjustments in front of me that I have right there on my PA80. I think now I understand why Frank prefers Forte. If I can set my controller up properly using it, I'll have most of those adjustments right there in front of me again.
