Thanks Fredrik. We're definitely going to try to make it to Europe
sometime this year (hopefully to ICMC and then bum around europe for
awhile :-)

Yeah. We audio capture inside Impromptu so no keyboard sounds (or
audience for that matter) We might have to mic up the keyboards and
route them into Impromptu so the click/clacks get captured as well.
Or we could use sampled sounds and trigger from the keyboard as
normal audio events inside Impromptu - sample some huge old monster
of a typewriter :)

Sounds like we'll have to get a bit smarter about power supplies/
sockets. Adrian's battery suggestion seems a good one - we'll give
this a try and see how long we can go without power. AB remembers
removing the earth from his big bad rock band days - if possible we'd
like to try to avoid that option :)
Funny, being brought up on a trumpet the whole musicians using
electrical power thing just sort of skipped me by :)
Thanks for the suggestions (Adrian as well !! )
Cheers,
Andrew.S
