One way for doing live PAs would be to get a bunch of musicians playing live keyboards... and you would be behind the mixer working the effects, and kind of conducting them when to play something... If you are alone it's not physically possible to really play everything live.
When I saw mad Professor live, it was something similar. He had a band playing on the stage, and he was playing the mixer and effects.

Carl Craig played some live keys when I saw >his live PA, I think it was as Paperclip People. and i found everytime he touched the keys i got bored. the thing is, playing full 'live' or not, when you're playing the keyboard you're also assuring the crowd that you're *not* tweaking the bass, dropping the cymbal line, bringing in a synth solo, or sliding up a string line an octave. whether or not you're doing that i don't think is the point: making the crowd think you are *is*, and when you're playing a keyboard you are assuring them that you're not. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
