Is Automated Music a Dinosaur ?
By Dave Kaspersin

In my opinion, the best form of MIDI controlled music will be a device
that can sit on top of the tracker bar, and be played from a touch
sensitive MIDI piano or keyboard.  This will allow the full beauty of
the instrument (band organ, etc.) to still sound as it was meant to,
and how good the performance is will depend on the ability of the
musician.  I see this as a good marriage of modern technologies and
our wonderful dinosaurs.

 [ Please tell us who the organist is who can play a band organ
 [ so that it sounds like it is playing from a good music roll,
 [ which is the way it was meant to sound!  ;-)  -- Robbie
