   So the computer is being used as a module, which is precisely what software   
   like Native Instruments does.

   I got 2 of those, an 88 key weighted controller and a 61 key unweighted   
   controller that sits on top of it.   
   The 88 key controller triggers an old Roland Sound Canvas series P-55 piano   
   module while the 61 key controllers triggers an old clonewheel Oberheim OB-3   
   Organ Expander module.

   Just so long as they're good!

   I already have the DX7. Besides, it does have 2 very nice clavinet voices, a   
   couple of synths, several piano voices, and s few guitars too...so I guess   
   I'm stuck with it for the time being.   
      
   > it is a medium of exchange, ... but you know that.   
      
   It's NOT Really though, because it's NOTHING...which is why there's such   
   Instability, a condition Not conducive to any kind of exchange, because it's   
   a thoroughly Dishonest, Corrupt, Wicked, Vile, Satanic invention which   
   serves NO Good purpose, Only EVIL!!!

   That's good to hear.

   What songs?

   I'm very careful with my voice so I don't cripple it.

   I'm not all that sure of that.

   "Perfect pitch" has very little to do with it, and besides, I can tell from   
   the fingering of the  keys ;)   
   And if I find I'm 'cramming' into a key, all that means is that more Work is   
   needed, until I'm not crammed any longer.

   That's precisely why I'm using effects.
