I've seen similiar in live performance, 'playing' over a midi or bakingtrack,
and the keys being 'muted' or local set to off.
Don't really need any high pricelevel arranger to do this .... wink grin grin

If perform like that, I would rather use a $25 Casio or similiar, and use the rest of
the money saved to do a happy trip or two to the sunny and warm Canary Islands. cool2

Yepp, learned about that many many years ago. wink
But I still play the chords live, even try to hit the correct keys
once in a while to make it sound reasonable right for the songs.....

I take your post as a gross understatement, and I resemble that remark. lol

The fellow in the original video must have been a Synthzone member. After reading your comments he pulled his videos.

We were probably way too tough on him. He didn't ask us to post his performances and he didn't ask for criticism. Probably a nice guy as well.

Maybe...but you sure can't get a full blown arrangement like "New York, New York" by playing style play. A lot of ebb and flow and intermittent instruments cannot be achieved in style mode, as in a SMF.

That said, I cannot and will not play a SMF. I love the versatility and (somewhat) creativity achieved by 'working at it'. I get a lot of compliments on my arrangements - which are really mine smile
