Good morning Canada;
I appreciate your post is a bit long in the tooth, but I'll try anyway. Until today, I've never heard of a digital wind instrument. While Yamaha still makes the instrument, it no longer sells the VL70-m interface it recommended. How long have you been playing it? Can you emulate other instruments?
Like many others here, I've learned to play the radio, the TV, and a CD player. Seriously though, I have a trumpet with which I don't put near enough time on. I do have a DAW, Sonar X3, and a Yamaha digital piano. However, playing the piano is much like the trumpet and my fingers no longer reach the keys like they once did.
