I'm basically a keyboardist that's been playing for some time, (alright, a LONG time ago, back when ARP's and MOOGS ruled the land....). When I was playing for scratch, I ran an ARP odyssey and a Roland VK1 organ. Later on, I got an ensoniq sq1+, it had a sequencer...*yay!* I still have it. My career was interupted with a really bad accident, (I'm lucky to be walking normal now), and by the time I could even think about getting back into music, a lot of time had passed. Anolog was basically going digital, but it gave me an opportunity to afford playing again. When I got into computers, I got into playing soundfonts on my soundblaster. Then softsynths started to come out. Primitive and cycle sucking, but hopeful. Then the good stuff started to come out. Oh my, I wasn't about to let everybody else have all the fun. Oh, and cudos to my sister without whom this would not be possible. She got me into computers in the first place..... So I'm making the transition to digital. My head hurts, but I've loved every moment of it.
