Don't Kill the Reaper

It appears that my KB37 doesn't always initialize correctly and I can use the MIDI to do any recording, so a hard reset of the KB37 is required. But!! If I pull the USB cable from it while running Reaper, Reaper KILLS my computer, sometime the blue screen of death.  So now I learned to shut Reaper down before pulling the USB cable out.

Anyway I started working on a song to experiment with some VSTi (Virtual Studio Technology Instruments) for drums. Found a free one called Maniac which randomizes some sound based on some parameters that you set or select from some pre-defined settings. I'm going to play with this somemore because it looks to have some real potential.  In addition I'm playing around with automation of effects again.  You can hear it on the lead guitar track where I'm varying the envelope to change the knob position of the phasers ENV-LFO mix.  You can hear the song here.
