Hi Diki

MBS, what exactly is that. I probably know what it is, but my mind is blank on it at the moment.

Yes. Yamaha has something similar where you can chord and then solo. The trick is to only have it read a chord when you want.haha

Your footpedal setup sounds like a good idea. I have been considering doing something similar, but haven't figured out how to set it up yet.

I currently have one fantastic singer lined up with another I'm about to contact.
There is a lot to be said for a 2 or more piece act. It is a lot more fun to me generally when playing with other good musicians.
