Don't get me wrong Ian...I have used pedals in the past many times especially before arrangers in my band years using multiple KBs...I am not a Piano player but a Singer first who accompanies my singing in many ways using Styles, SMF, Mp3, backing tracks. As a trained Accordion player at age 7 as a kid my technique is different. When I switched to KB's in the late 60's I retained my skills of playing and still do to this day. The times I use a Piano patch in a arranger mix I let "some" of my fingers hold down notes when changing notes more then normal giving a pseudo sustain effect using the default efx already on that sound, it sounds great in the mix.
A few people at the jam asked me how I do it when I was playing and thought it was unique also. Playing in fingered mode your limited. I mix all the modes I use up for each gig depending on the venue...sometimes all three equally, sometimes styles all night at most 4 hr gigs.....at NH 1 hr shows it's All Live Styles always. We all play different there is n't a right or wrong way to do it......the only thing that matters is what it sounds like!
