There's so much that can be done - my Les Paul guitar has a Roland hex
pickup connected to a Roland VG-99 synth with optical beam controllers,
and _that's_ connected to my old Yamaha PSR-510 via a MIDI interface
along with being hooked up to my computer with _it's_ MIDI interface. I
haven't come close to finding out all the things I can do ...I end up
playing around a lot, though :) Now, if I only had a wind synth hooked
up, too ...

Gotta stop playing and start practicing!
