Hi Ted,

I’m not sure how familiar you are with my recordings. Everything I do is performed in real time, so that I can play it for my friends and music club members live. I use Easy Record and and one finger chords except when a really tasty chord is called for. As Alex has suggested there are a great many tools on our keyboards to embellish our arrangements. Since I’m not a very skilled player, I try to put a great deal of my effort into preparing the styles to make the arrangement interesting. I frequently expand the variations from four to eight measures and have counter melodies come in at the third measure as they frequently do with real orchestras. I have even step recorded parts that I was unable to play in real time to provide an accompaniment that was complex. Every time it seems impossible to accomplish a musical effect our keyboard reveals a way to do it.
