Andy,

Would you mind telling me how you learned to emulate all the instruments so they don't sound unnatural when played from a keyboard? Or did you simply have each instrumentalist go over the characteristics of their own instrument and take each instrument one by one. I'm eventually going to do that with a guitarist as a guitar can be played in so many ways.

Example of what I mean: to play like a violinist, I learned to set the vibrato to come in with aftertouch, bend the notes with the pitch wheel, and (I used to use) portamento. With the trumpet, I did the same thing for a "spit" effect.

I'm a bit of a perfectionist and would like to have more knowledge than what I've figured out so far. Any suggestions?

Lucky
