I started just wanting to play piano. Not so much into the electronic sounds early on. When I started playing in a band, the band leader wanted to hear the B3 sound and piano. Well all we had was a Korg Poly 800. Trying to get this keyboard to sound like a B3 was what lead me to learn things like oscilaters, filters, attack, decay and I found these interesting. Never did come up with anything close to a B3, but we did come up with a pretty unique synthy organ. I'm still pretty much just a player of presets I must admit. I like using synth pads and sweeps under piano and organ sounds and the ability to sequence.

PS - Digging YES and Pink Floyd also influenced me to some degree. As well as Ray Manzarek (sp?) of the Doors.
