Happily we will be playing nights in white satin and tuesday afternoon. I dont have a volume pedal for the usb keyboard but at least i can use the volume slider! As a side note.... what other tron sounds did Mike use on NIWS besides the MKII 3 violins? Cello?

I make the other saxophonist (who is deathly afraid of performing on keyboards unfortunately) play the organ sound and violins when I'm playing flute. We skip the brass, it actually isn't all that necessary to the sound of the tune.
