What music do you play? As a very poor amateur keyboard / piano player who only has M-tron, one of the drawbacks of seems to be it's limited range and single voice, most of the stuff I play on the piano doesn't transfer happily. So when a tron owner is playing a tron on it's own what do they play?

I play a lot of Crimson, some Moodies, some Floyd and some Neil Finn stuff and a lot of stuff I just make up as I go. I have a Korg Triton Pro X, a old Yamaha V-50, a MicroKorg and a Moog Voyager a friend lent me (he has 3 of them). I also have a Chamberlin Rhythmate 30 and a cheesy Hammond Auto-Vari 64 rhythm machine. I'm going to sell the Chamby and the Auto-Vari.

I have all this stuff hooked up to a Mackie mixer and a couple of Peavey amps. The room is pretty soundproof, so sometimes I play gently and sometimes I get quite loud. I had a Hammond a-100, but I sold it to Jimmy Moore.
