Changing
                                  patches and layers gets more interesting with
                                  a Laptop Computer in the loop. I found the
                                  best method for me is using the Ground control
                                  Pro in conjunction with some software called
                                  Bome. Bome is a midi translator that converts
                                  midi foot pedal actuations to key switches. I
                                  am using  Reaper as a host for the VST
                                  instruments on the Laptop. Reaper has the

                                  on a qwerty keyboard to select tracks where
                                  the instruments reside.  
                                    
                                    
Horn Section Sounds
                                    Here is an example of my setup.I am
                                      using Sample Modeling's Sax Brothers and
                                      The Trumpet for my Horn Section. So far it
                                      is the best section sound I have been able
                                      to assemble. It is great for big band and
