Looks like I have a bit or explainin to do.

First - the Avatar - I tried for days to change it, but it just would not. Apparently, Chrome does not work with this feature on this website. Prompted by the comments here I opened EDGE and --- Ya, that's the new me. The prior Avitar was a sculpture entitle "Grief". Today is my 50th Wedding Anniversary, October 11, 1975. With that, combined with the 1-year anniversary of my wife's passing, made me feel it was time to move forward. I will likely try some more updated photos in the near future.

BT - Regarding the Roland, I am sure my initial dispersions were due to the fact that I don't play keys LIVE. Which is way this product looked so odd to me at first. But I do maintain that the controlling interface and the sound I was hearing in the demo is old tech indeed. Maybe not '85, but certainly prior to 2000. Certainly, if you want to play live - I would hope there is better sounds available today. And I use the faces available in the forum pretty much totally random and arbitrary - so no deep meaning. crazy

Rharv, you are absolutely correct regarding "...tech making things complicated". Scaler 3 is a perfect example. The company has struggled with this newest release. But this for me is the price I am willing to pay to get the features and sound quality I am looking for. I am afraid if you took away the modern day computer my music would cease to be. I would go totally silent except for what would sound like moaning and groaning coming from my voice. grin
