I am very, very interested in different way that people use to create music. When I first saw the word DAW I had no idea what that was. Am in a part of my life where I pass by most of the new things that are presented to make room for the enjoyment of playing.

Now if DAW is what I think it is then Cakewalk and Sonar are Daw programs. If so I did work with these programs – and enjoyed doing it.

Curt, for me styles are annoying, the constant whatever. I play full chords with my left hand, but because I found a LAZY WAY OUT, I have been using the automatic chords with my right. I also programed a dedicated three switch on my Pa4x which cut out: 1-All accompaniments except drums and bass 2-bass 3- Drums. This gives me room to express myself. The keyboard becomes more of me.

In no way am I saying styles are not good. They are good, and sometimes needed, but I like finding new ways to deal with them.
The more I am open to all the ways of creating, the more creative I can be.

Opinion, John C.
