I don't know if you know about Elan Performer, and its MIDI compatability, but it works great, preloads images and animations, and can be driven by a MIDI ghost track from a sequencer (Bars + Pipes works great) or direct from a keyboard for live interactive performances. The above system works great, but I don't think Elan can surport a laser disk, or Arexx, and you need two laser disks to be controller. You may need to use three computers. Here "Elan Design" address, they are the people to talk to regarding this project. P.O. Box 31725 San Francisco, CA 94131 (415) 359-7212 Fax (415) 359-7181 Martin Gardiner
