Re: can I drive the rx7 with a keyboard and get chord changes

2003-04-19 by tetra_b

you must be a proud owner of a supra twin turbo,
the way you answered my e-mail, with the speed of light

hello Aaron,
thank you for your fast response.
so does it mean that even the bass-line cannot be changed
via keyboard from one key to another?
I am new to this, having a jazz and classical background.
the drum patterns are very exciting but why are there no
harmony changes possible? I think it would be nice, that
when I play an A mayor 7 chord all those interesting background
noises would follow suit and do the same.

thank you for your kind support,

roger
