I may have to resort to that, but I've always hated the sound of the piano, and would like to avoid it if possible.

Wiz - you are right about working with the laptop. That is the machine that I need to use when creating the music. I've always tried to use the lowest-common-denominator machine when developing the Aquarium. My theory is that if it looks good on my computer, it will look REALLY good on everyone else's. I had become so accustomed to the weak graphics capabilities, that it never occurred to me that the sound system might be stronger than most. After all, it's just an on-the-motherboard sound chip playing through the monitor's built-in speakers. Yet, I can listen to the same 4-minute piece of MIDI music all day without it getting on my nerves. In fact, I miss it when it's not there. Now the challenge is to get it to sound the same on everyone else's computer.
