Hi, my name is Doug. I live in Roy, WA. I am restarting keyboards again.
I had a Moog D and a Fender 73 in the 70's. Had to sell to avoid a Imperial entanglement.
(piano lessons in grade school/jr high, trumpet and French horn)
I got a Yamaha PSR-E433 a couple months ago. last month I got a Roland GAIA, and a Axiom 25. I am amazed at what these can do. (I haven't touched a keyboard since 78) I also have Cakewalk Music Creator 6.
The first thing I found out was that I can't remember chords without stopping and thinking about them.(reading sheet music) lol. I have been thinking I should take a couple lessons to get me back to speed.
I am not up on the midi yet. I got it hooked up and running the soft synths, pads are fun. I thought it would be a ordeal. I don't know how to program the knobs yet, or if I can get different sounds on the pads. But the basics seem to be easy.
I was in the Navy 20 years aviation electronics tech. Got out worked for Pitney Bowes for 4 years, then went to school for surgical tech. I also was a vol FF/EMT, was a EMT for awhile, worked in a ER for a year then now in a OR.
