If it lets me use the bender, I'll use anything I can...!
I would use a footpedal, but Roland (you know, the one with the 'pro' OS ) don't allow that particular function, and a lot of what I do involves BOTH bending up AND down, which I think you can only pick one on the Yamaha's (but it's definitely better than nothing!)
Boy, you 'home' keyboard users get ALL the good stuff!

Yep, the pedal will only do "up" or "down"...still, it is handy.
I'm just fed up being "home" with my "home" keyboard...boy, I sure miss gigging.
You watch that, and most of it he is soloing over the same four chord progression.
A chord sequencer would have allowed him to play it once, and then solo over it without dashing back to the keyboard all the time, until it was time to change the chords. And foot-pedals would take away the need to leave the bender for fills and variation changes..
But that was some pretty darn good rock soloing, and would have sounded like doo if played without the bender! All playing the arranger stuff did was interrupt the flow.
