Hi Folks,
Would anyone out there with expertise in performance or technology as it relates to Keyboards be interested in become a moderator and generating some discussion?

Brian! Really hope you can have someone step up for this. I love experimentalism in recordings period. I am not into computer technology, so I have just played the instrument. I used to love messing around with samples. But I felt cheap not making up everything and started playing by hand. I play synths mainly for accompaniment now. But I am fascinated by the technology. I have read about how in the early seventies how experimental keyboardests were. I have also read how an alt act in the early nineties (no Joke) to where they would take flatuance and make it sound like a Moog keyrboard. I stopped just short of that. Although it may have been an improvement with me.
Are you talking of sampled type of keyboards that made their headway in the eighties, or ELP style? Either or would be interesting. Especially both.
I have some new keys and I would love some expertise.

I am really just looking for folks who play, program and work with keyboards, pianos, synths etc. It's interesting how 90% of our regulars or more play guitar.

Brian, I've been a professional keyboard player for a little over 30 years starting with a Rhodes and presently playing a Yamaha S-90 and a Motif XS8 with too many to list in between. I've been writing for the same amount of time and I've had a demo service and then a recording studio as a result of the equipment I bought to do my own demos. I'm not sure what you're looking for in a moderator but I'd be happy to share any information I've gained along the way.
Michael

Michael,
We'd be looking for tips and lessons and product info and any topics of interest concerning piano and keyboard playing and ownership. And we'd want someone who was very active here and posted regularly so we could keep things moving.
