Fun with music

We have a lot of fun with music, the whole family and even back at dad's farm we play around most of time we are there with music. Dad's got a few six strings, a twelve string a mandolin, a couple keyboards and just tons of fun. Mary has a saxophone, Daniel has a guitar and trumpet, Jolen? has a guitar and wants drums. I have a multi-track recorder some microphones, a guitar and now a keyboard.

I wouldn't say anyone is too good, but everyone does love to make noise. The keyboard I have is kinda cool I think, maybe just because it is new though. It is Midi capable with a USB port on the back, and Midi songs can be loaded into it from the computer.

After a song is loaded into it, you can playback at whatever tempo you like to learn how to play it. It also has a recorder built in, but just for Midi so they call it a sequencer. I found software for it, and it is very complex and very expensive. I do not have $600 for it, so I downloaded it. It is stupid to pay that kind of money so that my kids can play with something. If I had a studio and tried using a studio for profit I would certainly pay for it as it is the best. But just for the kids play with? Kinda dumb. More about the software soon.
