I have a Roland hardware thing. JV1010. You can buy them for about $20.00 now. And see other hardware modules like this. Most members here would do well to own one, zero latency, chain the midi.

The nice thing about the JV1010 and others over the Ketron is there is a knob in front and you can turn and push it to audition the patches. Works great.

And to one up the thing if you have a wind controller this is the gizmo for you. Just playing with the knobs and blowing is a full day's work!

In that I'm rich, (yes I have lots of family and friends thanks), I don't need stuff to have fun, but it passes the time.

The one thing you don't need to pass your time is a whiner, complainer, and moaner. (Hm, the ex wife and her lawyer come to mind, and that was 30 years ago.)

Maybe someone with the TTS-1 which I never did order, and the Roland JV1010 can jump up and provide this rich kid with a report. I'll send you what I can, but remember, I measure riches in other things than money so you might get my pet rock from the ages past.

As a Canadian senior I'm just glad to know that I'm secure in my riches, and geez the Beebs lives just up the hill in Stratford and I'm sure in a pinch he'd give old John a buck or tow.

Stratford, such a small joint but you've got the Festival, the BAND, and THE Beebs. Quite the lineup.
