  1. I’ve watched a few YouTube videos comparing various systems and know a bit more about what to watch for in a mesh system, but it has been 10 years since I set one up, Currently I am on rural DSL so speeds are not that great. They finally made cable available in my area but they are having lots of problems so I will stick with DSL for now. My house is wired for ethernet in most rooms with a router in the garage. The DSL modem is in my garage. I have an Airport Extreem attached to it and an ethernet cable going from it to the router. DSL modem -> Airport Extreme -> router for the wired connections I have a smaller Airport in my living room connected by ethernet. I like using wired connections rather than relays having to use wireless connections. The Extreme covers the man cave upstairs, the front porch and guest bedrooms. The small Airport covers the kitchen, dining living room and back porch. The master bedroom and bathroom have the weakest connections in the house and need an improvement. Thus, I am looking at a three box system. I was leaning towards the Eero 6+ as all components have ethernet connections. I notice the 6 is limited to wireless relay only. I assume the ports on the 6+ boxes will allow them to transmit over the ethernet connections. I first considered the Eeros Pro 6E but watched a video that explains that most everything currently connects through 5 which the 6+ has two bands. On the Pro 6E one band is a 6 and will go mostly unused, causing more devices to compete for bandwidth on the single channel of 5. So, if you read all of this, thanks. Any comments, suggestions, other recommendations? I know that Eero was purchased by Amazon and that will turn some people off. Another brand I considered was purchased by Google and I don’t feel any better about using them.
  2. I do really like that 3 unit stand they show in the Korg video. Anyone know what brand/make it is? Am hoping they will release an 8 voice MiniLog for that lineup.
  3. I missed out on the $29 deal. Bought it during the last sell for $49 minus I think thirty percent, which was the max discount they would allow with my IK bucks that I had collected over the years.
  4. Two uses for this unit. 1. Sequence with a Oxi One and record stems. 2. Connect to a Hydrasynth Deluxe to make use of the poly aftertouch.
  5. I was covering all the synth parts plus playing that feedback lead guitar part in the middle of the song. That was a fun song to play. Yes, but karma is the real bitch. I stayed in the band after the manager forbid them from firing me. A year later they had a falling out. I offered to bring in a guitarist that I had played with. The female singer refused to even listen to him play because "he looks too country." That was the best thing to never happen to him. A few years later he moved to Nashville to start a 10 year run as lead for a major star. She eventually went to Nashville but could not evolve past background singer.
  6. I had a band give me a termination notice because I continued to do Adrain Belew inspired solos on my synth. The Rhodes Chroma could really pull it off. I can still hear the guitarist/singer saying "I get mad every time I look over and you have one hand on the pitch and mod wheels. I want both hands on the keys at all times!" And the female vocalist saying "Less of those space sound thingies. Just play notes." I never complied. It wasn't like I was doing it every song. It really fit in songs like Politics of Dancing or I Love It When You Call Me Names. They finally gave me notice that they were going to replace me because I would not play the way they wanted me to play. That sort of blew up in their faces and I was in that band until it eventually broke up.
  7. Oh, and a couple more questions. Is it multi timbrel? Is the voice count dependent on voice structure? i.e., 80 voices for a 2 operator patch. 20 voices for a complex stereo patch?
  8. I started to get a Korg OpSix when they discontinued the model and put them on sale but they were gone before I managed to grab one. Then the OpSix Mk2 came out with double the polyphony. I decided that I want a OpSix M (tabletop) and wanted to make sure it was the Mk2 version. Looked at the Korg website and found a couple of clues, but no statement of which version the tabletop OpSix M is. What I did find is ... Original OpSix - 32 voice OpSix Mk2 - 64 voice OpSix M information on a dealer website - 60 voice OpSix M information on the Korg website - 80 voice Then I noticed a video on the OpSix M page for the OpSix LE - 80 voice. 61 keys, and available in a platinum color. So that has left me a bit confused. It is a OpSix, OpSix Mk2, or OpSix LE in tabletop form? I did notice that is will accept poly aftertouch.
  9. I know it is a different band, but the Adrian Belew solo at the end of this song (5:20) had a major affect on my synth solos, and my music mentality.
  10. 2 1/2 hours to Cincinnati or 4 1/2 to Nashville. Hmmmm, might be worth it.
  11. I'm ready for this one. Ironically, after the youtube clip finished the synth they never mentioned by name appeared as the first suggested video. 🤣 I just hope they can truly replicate the patches, including modulations and how sounds can transform when you hold a note.
  12. This does make me feel more secure about purchasing a new Model keyboard or module. I would like to have a Carbon 8M
  13. But only the 88 version. I would have gotten a Montage 6M to pair with my Fantom 7 if it was poly aftertouch. Instead I got the MODX+6 and the Hydrasynth Pro combination. I'm satisfied for now. I only need one keyboard with poly aftertouch. My Fantom 7 with the EX upgrade still resides as the anchor of my system and I am happy with it.
  14. Bought the Baby Audio everything package while it is on sale. Have had my eye on BA-1 and the 1.5 update with effects was a big improvement. 11 plugins for $239, including two instruments.
  15. Wow. Hate to see that. Their online component never did catch fire like Sweetwater, American Musical, etc...
