Absolutely brilliant thanks so much….
WoW!!! Just watched your video on YouTube! You are so real!!! Love your humour and artistic abilities!
Okay, enough fan boy crap….lol
Thanks so much for doing this and allowing others to participate in your project.
I will be testing out the Reaper version and improving my string arrangements…which I currently suck at…I know what I want…just need to develop the velocity and mod part. Drawing after the fact is painful. I think I will attempt to use faders, as you peaked my interest in that. I have seen others using an expression pedal and a mod wheel…I would have a hard time with that….hahahaha
Cheers Christian,
