Interesting, Interesting!
What a great diversity of opinions. All correct!
To make sure that everyone understands my viewpoint, I am not against any form of making music. As I said previously, I have enjoyed every piece of music that has been presented on the forum and on Cees' site.

Some have been produced entirely by entering one note at a time using step record. Some have been layered, one track at a time, by actually playing each track and adding to that already recorded, and some by a combination of both.
Some have been easy recorded using only default styles and sounds that are native to the keyboard as received from the factory with no post editing.
Others have easy recorded using a combination of default factory styles and voices, plus edited styles, intro's, endings and voices with no post editing of any kind. (This is the method that I have used for the songs that I have presented).
Others have used any or all of the above easy record methods plus post editing to correct mistakes or change voices, add fills, change endings, ETC.

All methods make good music that is worth listening to with the final quality of the result dependent on the skill of the music maker, whether it be finger dexterity, chord voicing, composition, layering and sequencing skills, or whatever.

I think that this whole thread goes back to Cees' request that on his web site he would like only songs by easy record method.

My opinion is that using factory defaults, edited styles, edited voices, edited intros, edited endings, ETC., but played in real time without post editing, most closely fits the description of "easy record only".
In other words, it should sound exactly as if you recorded it while playing for an audience.

I believe that the value of this is that the listener/keyboard player can easily disect the piece and learn something from it besides just enjoying it.
This of course puts some restrictions on what songs are presented to Cees' site.
Perhaps Cees would consider another page on his site devoted solely to sequenced songs, sequenced plus layered, post edited, ETC.
There was a good suggestion that the player note what was edited and how it was done -- this would be a good learning tool for us not experienced in sequencing and editing.
Again, just my thoughts,
Regards to all,
Walt
