All time time! It's wonderful. You really need to do a lot of finger legato which is a good work out too.

Sometimes it's interesting to change sounds.

Try straight percussion, just clicks. That's interesting for rhythm.

Yes, though not all pieces lend themselves well to organ. My favorites are Flute and or cello played via MIDI and using an external mixing and recording software program ( presently using Mixcraft 6 but still experimenting with instrumentation programs/mixin/.recording programs that run in Windows 7) with it's VST instruments. Unbelievable flute and cello, much better than Kawai's, IMO. When you add a little decay and some modulation, played through a decent set of monitors they just come alive.

Depressing the pedal on an out of tune acoustic piano and playing does not result in tonal color control or add interest, it's called obnoxious.

I love the organ sound on my digital piano and use it often.
