Hi,

It's nice to see a lot of familiar names on the forum. I have been absent for several months due to a very hectic life :-)

I need some advice... I have been using a Yamaha QY100 hardware sequencer for several years to lead music in our Sunday School class. It allows me to load MIDI "songs" from my PC and then play them through the interanal QY100 synth. It works very well and I have no complaints but I think I will soon lose the QY100... I'm changing churches. So... once again I am starting over with my music hardware.

I think I want to purchase a Ketron SD-2 and render my music tracks to CD format. I see no reason to use a hardware sequencer and synthesizer for live applications (non-keyboard sequencers are hard to find) unless I will loose quality when I render to audio. I have a good PC... several of you guys designed it :-) But I am concerned about the difficulty of managing dozen's of songs on CD's... do I put sets on a single CD?... one song per CD? ... is there a better format for this purpose?

What are your thoughts?

Gale
