Thanks for the update. I'd like to have it simple and "all in one" but the cheesy keyboard thats been mentioned a few times is not what I want. Using a dedicated controller sounds great except for all the programming you need to do but I guess it does give you the maximum flexibility. It seems more and more from what's going on in my area I may have to break down and start going the MP3 backing track route too so thats another consideration

Thanks again for the informative post
