To Sequence or not to Sequence – That is the question.

In my life the value of music occupies a position of major importance – but, that importance is all wrapped up in the area of listening – with the act of performing being just a means to the end. I love listening to music, and having an active part in the creation of that music, adds immeasurably to the satisfaction gained.

For me, to not use the sequencer is like insisting on using the old fashion pencil and paper to write down my thoughts, rather than using technology’s latest computer products. The KN7000 with it’s fabulous sequencing power offer’s the opportunity of creating musical arrangements that can rival the biggest and best orchestras, limited only by one’s own in-born talent, plus the time and hard work necessary to produce the desired result.

Of course, a sequenced song can still be enhanced and viewed as a great performance by the players’ ability to play along with the sequenced parts. For me, my current condition of limited memory is such that I don’t have the time to spend in constant practice in keeping up with a large repertoire of songs. I like to sit back and listen to the arrangements. Once I finish the arrangement, I have forgotten most of the details of the performance and thus can listen to the song being played, which almost seems like a brand new arrangement each time I play it.

Of course, I also like to share my work with others, especially those who like the kind of music that I like to create.

I just hope that my KN7000 holds up as long as I can sit down and play it in my quest to create a likeable rendition of a nice song.
