Hi Mark,

Thanks for the website address. I had not found that one and it has some very interesting stuff on it.

I agree that in a sense it was the first type of sequencing.

I didn't realize that many of them were marked up recording. The first Computer Synth I had was on a "TRS-80 Model I" called Orchestra-80. The way you programmed the songs was to enter each note Like C4/Q that C 4th octive 1 quarter beat. That's like a markup. I did a complete version of the pop song "Stairway to Heaven" and I couldn't play a note of it.

I do think the Technics Keyboards do these old "recording" justice because they sound so good. Infact since you can play them using a Grand Piano setting they may sound better now than they ever did.

And while I have the PR54 piano I still call it a keyboard because it really is just a self contained keyboard that sets on top of a set of legs. I actuallly could take the legs off, plug in a KN7000 foot pedal and use it like a KN2400 which it is closest too of the KN keyboards. It's just a little heavier since it has the weighted
keys.


Take Care
