   Technically it is possible via MIDI triggers for him to just sit there and   
   hit one note and either trigger a single note or a series of notes, chords,   
   etc.  Hell...Neil does it for the jazz section of his drum solo.  But to do   
   so would be pretty frikkin' unethical.  I'm certainly not a keyboardist, but   
   I do know my way around a keyboard and I can tell you that he is, in fact,   
   hitting the right notes.
