Hi all,
I've always used a Roland JV-80 as my midi controller, but I find that when sequencing I spend a lot of time adding dynamics that i wasn't able to accomplish when laying down the track. I'm able to play with a little expression, but certainly not as much as when I play my accoustic piano. (I never use a sustain pedal because I don't want to use up my polyphony.) I'm wondering if I buy a digital piano, which is designed to be played much more expressively than a standard synth, if I would be able to lay down my tracks with much more expression, thus reducing the amount of time I spend editing the sequenced track. I'm thinking this would be advantagous when I'm laying down expressive string tracks that normally take me hours try to recreate during editing. I would guess this would probably add a lot more PC processing power when laying down the track than my very average laptop can keep up with. Does anybody have any thoughts on this?
