Excellent food for thought- Robert.
I especially like the idea of all registers being considered equal. For example, I want any note, anywhere on the clarinet, to be as loud or as soft, or as long or as short, as I want it to be, any time I play it- no matter what notes led up to it or at what speed. Such a simple requirement- and so difficult to accomplish.
Oh, let's add- and pitch bent up or down or vibratoed (is that a word?) as much or as little as I choose (for musical not technical reasons). And I want every note to speak on demand without delay or fuss. Not so much, is it?
Actually, you'll understand this better if you know where I'm coming from. I'm a truant keyboard/synth player who only got back onto clarinet in old age (played modestly in hs/college). Many times as I arranged "clarinet parts" or "flute parts" or "trumpet parts" on Cakewalk or previously on hardware sequencers, I was happy but unhappy with the results. Real is better. All I want now is for my real clarinet to behave like a synth keyboard- you want a note, anywhere, you just touch it and it'll be there. By contrast, imagine a piano keyboard where some notes play very nicely, others randomly won't play, or squeak(!), or delay their response, or play some other notes instead. I have played on some bad pianos kind of like that, but mostly you just don't put up with that.
I'm also immensely enjoying dynamics after a note starts (can't do that on piano), and pitch bending. I know some synth player do well with pitch wheels and such (even old breath controllers)- but I never mastered the coordination- besides, I needed both hands to play keys.
THIS SONG is an example of an old keyboard/synth sequenced arrangement of mine, that now I've added clarinet. There's a few C4's
![[C7]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/c7.gif) in it after the key change toward the end. If I want to play this in churches, I need to reliably hit them, otherwise it seems a bit foolish to try and fail. Not the end of the world though...
