"The Midi track as well as additional audio backing tracks were played via Cubase running on a Open Labs Neko workstation." so the audio was coming from a device in his PC/workstation and the coil was used as a visual. The keyboard he is playing was sending a midi note to the soft synth on his workstation "he just picked out a real electrical sound for the synth voice" and the coil was sent a on off frequency to go along with the midi note value I would think if im wrong please inform me of this magic device that can read electrical bursts that can contain the info for a MIDI note value to be sent to his workstation.. that just doesn't seem logical "not only note value but velocity and a MIDI on off send..." synth_drum@yahoo.com it was being triggered by the midi input
