I hear lots of people talking about MIDI disks to play on their keyboards. Well fellow Technics Owners, we have at our fingertips, instruments that will outperform nearly all the MIDI music I have heard. I am speaking of Sequencing. If you are muscian enough, you can create incredible arrangements, intros, endings,fill ins, etc., either from scratch or by re-arranging those on the keyboard. By using the composer section, panel memories and the sequencer,you are like a painter with a palet full of colors (backgrounds, rhythms, sounds, effects and so much more from which to create your own music. When stored on disk or SD card or MP3, you have your own personal ideas and music to work with in any what you need or want. I play professionally and sequence nearly all my songs. I carry two keyboard, which allow me to play along to a sequenced background from the other keyboard (both Technics). I also play trumpet and flugelhorn, banjo and sing. I also use a Digitech vocalizer. I spend hours on arrangements. My audiance is basically a dancing crowd and so I need variety. I suppose I am called a Electic-Accustic performance artist. At least I know that what people hear, is entirerly me and my creation. It is my experience that most people in a crowd don't much care about how music is produced anymore. Live music is an endangered species. Since my first Technics (KN800) to the KN1000 and KN2000 is use in performance to the KN7000 I will eventually willtake to gigs, I am committed to Technics and have kept working for years without having to depend on MIDI files which always soud plastic to me. I have not attended the Florida Jam, because it appears that most, if not all attending look down on any performance that is not "live". Viva Technics!!
