Re: Piano accompaniment

Assuming you hook up and configure your laptop to the DKV:

With a laptop, and sequencing software, it is fairly easy to 
increase/decrease tempo, play/pause (although may be a little too 
clunky for a singer as currently implemented) in real time.

With Cakewalk for instance, if you click in the tempo field at the 
start of a song, then all that has to be done is press +/- keys to 
increase/decrease tempo.

Pressing the space bar plays/pauses/resumes.

All this could adapted to a foot pedal, but I would think 
wireless/remote would be better suited. Either wireless for the 
laptop or I wonder how suitable is the existing remote for the DKV? 
What do you think?

> *  Although not available that I know of, it would not be 
especially difficult to provide you at your singing position with a 
foot pedal box with "Play", "Stop", "Pause", and "Rewind" pedals.  
This might involve using a laptop computer connected to the 
Disklavier.
