Donny, I never needed a midi file crutch or an MP3 crutch - I just used my skills and talents - that's all that was necessary to keep those audience members on the dance floor. Donny, you frequently posted that you never used more than a dozen styles during your performances, not 30 to 40. So be realistic, you wouldn't know if the person on stage was playing a SMF or MP3 file, especially if they were singing with it. In those instances, the person's vocals are the lead instrument - not the keyboard. Gary

I mixed up as well, Donny, but I did so using nothing more than styles. One of the reasons I was the highest paid performer in both my area of Maryland and Marathon Key, Florida was I provided a huge variety of music, something that appealed to everyone. Not only did I play to the older folks, but I also entertained Spring Breakers. Until I played for those college kids I never realized that there were REAL Barbie Dolls, and I managed to put them on the dance floor. All with nothing more than styles. Hope to see you soon, old friend, Gary

Gunnar, were you playing all original songs, or songs that were popular to the crowds? For example, when I played the piano intro to Old Time Rock And Roll, everyone instantly knew what was coming and the dance floor was instantly filled. That's what I was referring to in my statement above. Same goes for a host of other songs I performed, such as House of The Rising Sun, etc... Gary

Donny, have you ever used them? The markers, from the little testing I did with this system, sometimes has a glitch effect, like the song skips a beat or hesitates when triggering back to the marker. This may have something to do with the keyboard's processor speed, though - not sure. The best use I found for midi files was for learning a song that I didn't know. They were a good tool for that purpose. Same goes for MP3s. The only mid files I used when I was still working were some that you gave me, very long ones that I could put on before the show started, or during short breaks on long jobs. Gary
