Gear used:

I used three pedals: sustain for the Roland JP8000, Volume for the Kurzweil internal sound and a momentary switch for preset change in the Emax II.
I also used the RPS (realtime phrase sequencer) in the JP8000 (Sequence at Oberkorn's end).

Backtrack previously sequenced and recorded in Pro Tools.
* There is a momentary digital noise at 00:32. It should happen at the time of rendering the video.
