The outrage!!!! :-) I think what Fripp is doing with his MIDI guitar at times seems to be all too common with keyboard players in general. That is, the player dials up some preset and begins noodling with it. Dr. T (of Dr T's Music Software) called it "treating your synth like a cheap organ", or "playing the preset instead of playing the synth". He like bringing up the example of Sun Ra as somebody who really _played_ his synth (i.e. playing with the sound in in realtime instead of just statically playing a preset) > I think when Fripp is trying to be funny with his tone selection he makes > it obvious.

No threat to Seinfeld, that's for sure. :) Paolo Valladolid --------------------------------------------------------------- |Moderator of Digital Guitar Digest, an Internet mailing list |\ |for Music Technology and Stringed Instruments | \ ---------------------------------------------------------------- | \ finger pvallado@waynesworld.ucsd.edu for more info \ | \ http://waynesworld.ucsd.edu/DigitalGuitar/home.html \| -----------------------------------------------------------------
