For a >real musician such tools are nothing, but crap. PS: I suspect that Dave is the kind of guy, who not wants to play random notes, that fit to the chords. I suspect he has got an idea, but not the ability to intuitive play the right note on a keyboard. IRC Dave is a guitarist, too, so if he's playing the guitar, he most likely is able to play exactly the notes he wants to play. Assumed I'm not mistaken, if Dave should test a device, then a guitar to MIDI thingy. If I would be super-reach, I would test such a modern guitar to MIDI thingy. Unfortunately I'm not super-rich, so I stay with the "note by note" approach. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
