3. All Panel Memory changes were carried out using a 4 bank footswitch.
As far as key signatures are concerned, I generally just choose a key which sounds right to my ear, for the particular mix of sounds which I have chosen for the song. The only version of this song which I have heard, is a recording by 'The Carpenters', which I have in my LP collection. Their version is in F minor.
I chose to play the song in A minor because having limited keyboard skills, I find this an easy key in which to play - particularly since I play everything by ear. I then used the Transpose function to move the pitch a little lower, effectively moving the key to G minor.
This guy Willum (ORB), who is one of our finest keyboard players still likes to insist he is not a keyboard player but in fact is a drummer.
Now if you can believe that, I have a nice shinny Golden Bridge for sale real cheap
