[musictlk] Question about keyboards

[Dancing Dots]

Hi,

If you are considering the option to use SONAR and you are a JAWS for
windows user, check out www.DancingDots.com and follow the "Presentations"
link.  There's a link on our presentations page to an audio presentation of
Gordon Kent using SONAR with our CakeTalking access method in his studio. 

Regards,

Christian:
There are several options you could take.
For example, if you get a good midi keyboard and get something like Pro
Tools or Logic for Mac and/or Sonar for Windows, you could do it that way.

There is also another option, which is to have one keyboard with all the
sounds, and set up a second keyboard as the master, so the keyboard you
play, (in other words the master) can call upon all the sounds found in the
other keyboards but its all transmitted threw your "master" keyboard.

This may be handy although I have never tried it.

Hope that helps.


Jorge
