Thanks Michael for the detailed response.  One minor technical correction:
vibrato is usually controlled on a keyboard using a wheel, ribbon, or
rotary controller that can send a range of values to the vibrato circuit.
So it's not simply on/off.

It occurred to me while I read your notes that one could set up different
chord structures in the DM-48 corresponding directly to different songs, as
opposed to using a general layout that's applicable to a range of songs.
Is that correct?  How many different memories for tuning layouts can be
stored in the DM-48?

thanks, Richard Hunter
