Music benefits your brain and your overall life in so many different ways. In this video I go over a couple of different studies that show how music builds cognitive reserve, why you should encourage music in everyone around you, and how/why keyboardists specifically benefit more than most.

Keyboardists often are looked to perform many different parts in live performances. As a result, you may need to switch between many different sounds in the course of a single song. Using entire performances to do this can cause problems - sustaining sounds can cut off, and the whole result is far from seamless.
But what can you do when your performance consists of so many parts that you can't fit more into a single performance? I show you how to use individual elements to store your splits and layers, and use performances to hold your different song elements, switching between them instantly and seamlessly using scenes.

I show how you can easily refill your Sodastream CO2 cartridges for less than a dollar a refill! Sodastream charges $30 for a refill, making ridiculous profits in the process. Don't get ripped off! I used this refill adapter, purchased from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QCSN88H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&tag=nerosoft-20

Holly gets up on stage and sings with Tony's band at Main St. Station in Bolton. She just learned the song just the night before, and it was in a VERY low key for her - but the crowd seemed to like it anyway.

While working with the AN-X engine on my Montage M7, I discovered what appears to be a major design limitation by Yamaha - and it almost makes me wish I hadn't bought my M7. In this video, I demonstrate one of the great features of the AN-X engine, then I show how this leads me to discover the frustrating and disappointing limitation.

The Roland SH-01 GAIA is a virtual analog synthesizer that has been sold by Roland since 2010. It's well known as a great-sounding true knob-per-function synth on which many people have used to learn subtractive synthesis.
However, it has a dirty little secret: It's not actually a virtual analog synthesizer. I explain what this means, and demonstrate how we can tell.
