Purchase a computer audio system (ASIO USB2 2-channel audio interface, audio cables from the Kawai to the interface, headphones, etc): this enables you and your friends to hear your Kawai's sound, and eliminates all of the XLUTOP and VSTi pieces, but can be complex and intimidating if this is new to you It's still available as a 32-bit VSTi, and I can attest that it sounds great, as I have it. XLN's Addictive Keys is on that list as the best budget piano. The same person that provided the list of free piano VSTi's recently produced his list of the best commercial VSTi's ( ). Over time, 32-bit commercial product options will disappear. Keep in mind that these likely no longer support the old 32-bit VST format, only 64-bit, which JamKazam does not support. These sound great, and better than any of the free VSTi's I listed above. You can use a commercial piano VSTi: Synthology Ivory series, Modartt Pianotec series, XLN Audio Addictive Keys, and others. Given that you probably spent a good bit of money for your Kawai, even if you got it used, the idea of now having to settle for a far inferior sound of a free VSTi may not agree with you. Now, as far as a free 32-bit piano VSTi to insert, I searched and found a recent review of piano VSTi's ( ), and 3 indicate they still are available in 32-bit form: This will be the sound source for JamKazam, not your Kawai's sound. Look at the diagrams on the XLUTOP web page, showing the VSTi block inside. MIDI only transmits the note info, not the sound of the piano itself. I'll keep your wisdom in mind, as i will try out a couple of them tonight.You are heading in the right direction, the only thing left to do is add a virtual piano sound source (a VSTi) inside XLUTOP to generate the sounds triggered by the MIDI notes from the epiano. It would be great if MPT had an event Randomizer (like sequencers i've used) but the devs (dev?) have enough on their plate trying to clean up basic features, plus i'm sure it's already been suggested.

I often take shortcuts like cutting and pasting strips of events i've already entered, but it's still a shortcut, and i notice the repetition. I'm trying to cut down the amount of time this costs me, mostly because i'm putting together about 113 of them. Yes, i have been using SDx for my piano suites, but i spend more time entering SDx's than i do notes (they all should be slightly different), plus different key velocities.

I'm sure it does a lot of things and makes music tracking so much easier, but anything over 1 cent is not in my budget. You should be able to tell i'm trying to avoid PAYING for a VST, even one as excellent as you make Xlutop out to be.
