Alright so here goes,
For the most part everything I've done so far myself has been just kind of guessing and experimenting playing in different 80's/classic rock cover bands and getting the sounds as close as I could but as of late the guitar player that I mainly work with is looking to do a little more key strong 80's songs and some of these songs obviously run multiple keyboard tracks. So my question would be on songs like Rick Springfields - Affair of the Heart, would it be possible to play the bass and high sequenced/arpeggiated tones on a full size arranger/workstation at the same time. More or less using a sustain pedal on those two tones while I use my hands on two other keyboards for the string and synth lead parts? I know this is probably a dumb question but I am still very green to full on keyboard rigs, mostly just play enough to get by for money reasons (Casio XW-P1 and an Alesis QS8.2). Also while I have your attention... I've always liked like Eddie Van Halen has going on Why can't This be Love and also coincidentally on Affair of the Heart as well, another dumb question but are those low bass tones in the beginning arpeggiated or sequenced?
