fnork 500 Post Club Member Registered: 10/01/04 Posts: 697 Loc: Helsinki, finland	Ah. Now I read the philosophy stuff... Like this: "To produce his music, Kevin performs it on a keyboard with a MIDI interface at no less than 60% full tempo, usually closer to 70% or 80%. This explains why Kevin's performances, although aided by minimal editing in tempo and velocity (dynamics), still sound "human". Once Kevin records a MIDI file, very little editing is required to bring out all the musical aspects that he wants to hear." umm... lame guy, indeed $\:D$ But that's not the same thing as performing Ravels left-hand concerto with 2 hands, IMHO.
