    comes down to two things. How fast can you switch sounds, and how many sounds can you play at the same time. The only real solution, is multiple keyboard players. 1 person can’t hold down all that while playing in realtime

    How the hell can you sell mainstage as a solution to having multiple keyboards, when Myron had 4 controllers in that commericial. Think we’re dumb don’t ya???
