F.Y.I. I have discovered the best way to get a groove after thirty years of trying in the MIDI studio (and I did pretty good back then in the 90's in Cowtown) is to play Left Hand Bass along with your "rhythm" keyboard track. The piano player can best lay down the groove, especially if you have experience on the B-3 kicking bass. Take that and apply it to the MIDI studio. Hence I lay down the drum track and play along with it live playing bass on the KX-5 with a U-220 sample and then on Bubba's Rhodes. I restored his instrument, and this complete bedroom with mineral fiber ceiling tile and hardwood floor, and drove Greensboro to buy a set of used Leslie 60's cab which are miked with Samson CE-1 condenser mikes, and have Lexicon LXP-5 and 1 reverb and ring modulation. So make this work for you in the pinch. Lay down the rhythm section tracks first. One pass, Rhodes in the background softly. Then it was an effort for me to learn to play live with three keyboards standing up. I always have wanted to do this in a band, and that is why I built the keyboard set up in my garage. Multi-keyboard set up, but now with three dimensions of keys. I never played much synth. Everything on a ship is on one provided digital piano, so you gotta play strings, and clav, and Wurlie, all of it on one weighted instrument. With the Yamaha grand, which always is great. I learned to play two unweighted synths for a Hammond emulation, but now I have a real Rhodes and the S90 for piano. Gotta change it up. Cheers.
Spine of that Ultimate Support massive keyboard stand got a block of wood this afternoon to take out some of that play. It has a support that goes all the way down to the floor.
And the Yamaha S90 got moved back up. Need a professional controller although the P-125 has a better piano sample. No MIDI. I went back to my first programmed acoustic piano sound, a jazz piano sound when I first got the instrument from Jim's Pawn Shop. Didn't have the P-150 plug in board yet. I am going to work on it. Hard to get that quality piano sound in a professional controller for less than 3 grand.
Super groovy!

Gotta be Tom Schumann. The best.
