Greetings from Canada-

My early keyboard experiences totally skipped the piano because my father had purchased and was remote learning (through a mail correspondence course by Jessie Crawford!)) organ on a Hammond M3 Spinet. As an 8 year old I started banging on that instrument and eventually my parents traded the Spinet and acquired a 1958 model beautiful Hammond B3. As we know Hammond was one of the first ground breaking electro-mechanical music synthesizers, and as a budding keyboardist and electronic hobbyist I was hooked on the concepts.

Much later as an adult in the '80s I purchased a T1 which I found in a newspaper ad, and after making arrangements with the owner had it shipped from Calgary Alberta. T1s were of course massively expensive in 1985, even used, but oh what compelling ear candy came out of that Korg generation.

From that point I started to really dive into understanding digital synthesis as home computers were just starting to get powerful enough to handle DSP on the fly. I then combined my love of guitars and keyboard systhesis by trialing a Roland VG99 guitar synth and after that a Roland GR55. Then when VST softsynths started to mature I branched out to making arrangements and live performance mixes using the Roland synths with their USB MIDI out capability into track mixes on a laptop DAW along with the VST softsynths.

I'm still there today, playing with laptop VSTs and live analog and MIDI over USB from my various digital music makers.

Warm Musical Cheers,
MusicGurl Cool
