1-Everytime I play with a Midi file it plays the same song the same way, no room for me.

why not mute some smf parts and play on top

2-No back tracks, create your own backing tracks leave out your part to play on top..
but I like the Chord Looper, I am still in control,ready to express me.
only to a point as you a slave to the looper just like a smf..


3-I use original recordings for song that my keyboard and I can not do well. Cotton-eyed Joe, Trouble, Hot Hot Hot ---------
Playing at home now you probably wont need those songs.....
but on a gig as a DJ you would.

I want as much freedom as I can get without losing the overall thought.
John anytime YOU produce music in ANY WAY you are in control of it...
