Studiologic SL88 studio vs Yamaha KX88?
LarsHarner replied to D. Gauss's topic in The Keyboard Corner
I had a Fatar Studio 900 from 1997-2010; I really liked it and at 45-46 pounds I imagine it would be more like a SL88 grand. I tried out the Arturia MK88II and liked it, Had a PX350 and returned it as the speakers weren't loud enough but liked the sounds and feels. I am almost conisdering getting a PX6000 or 5000 to use as a midi controller. -
I am wondering if the Phils are essentially playing for a wildcard spot again in hopes of upsetting the Braves in the playoffs. I am glad we have pretty much the same lineup as the team chemistry has been excellent the last 2 years. Looking forward to my first game next Sunday. I had opening day tickets but sold them due to the only event I would pass baseball up for- Billy Joel.

I purchased 2 years ago a M1 with 64gb and 2 TB- I find it helpful to have those specs for when I am in Studio one and have multiple different VST's available on different tracks. I would have gone to 4TB but at that point had spent enough. I was originally using my normal Intel 16gb computer for music but would have dropouts sometime. I do have a external thunderbolt SSD, I am wondering would I still have a seamless experience if I put any libraries on that.

Arturia KeyLab 61 MK II - Yellowed Keys
LarsHarner replied to CrossRhodes's topic in The Keyboard Corner
I've had one for 3 years now and it integrates nicely with my Vsts and I especially like the transit controls. I almost wished I had gotten the 88 key version; although I think I would have preferred a higher Fatar action . I had a 20% coupon I think and paid around $450 new. I will need to learn how to assign the IK drawbars to the sliders, -
pleased the Eagles got in after being 2-5 however there was just nothing from them out of the gate yesterday. However they did get the 7th spot. I wasn't please when the NFL added a 17th game and 7th spot; it dliutes it too much. I could understand and even 18 and 8 playoff spots so that perhaps the top 2 seeds could get a bye. I played the game (not well whatsoever) and sometimes long for the 80's when games were at 1 and 4 only (other than MNF) and winning the division meant something

I think being around 50 vs 25- I have noticed the following things- I wish I had more time to use what I had. I do notice for example, the Korg Nautilus vs the Kronos (even though related) is not a 10 year jump in technology whereas in the 90's 5 years was significant. Also, mostly use Addictive Keys and Toontrack EZ Drummer (version 2 but still similar) for the last 8 year.

I've had my ES8 for 6 years now- the first time I played it I decided to order one- I was blown away by the action for a 48 pound piano. In particular I like the SK5 piano. I spoke to Kawai and what amazed me was the Rhodes was actually sampled in an employee's garage from what I remember (or perhaps brought to wherever to record). I haven't heard the ES920 yet but am sure it is great as well- I think the reduced weight could make a difference in transporting it.
-
I will try 7-Zip later- @aellison I wrote to Korg as well but sometimes it takes them a few days and they could be off for the holiday as well. Is there a difference between loading the samples via KSC/RAM & Virtual Memory? It seems I can have the preload and perhaps one or two of the others loaded simultaneously at the same time. Is the limitation based on the Sampling RAM or something else? I am usually pretty good technically but their manuals aren't that clear or my patience isn't great.

Thanks wd8dky I am going to try that today. Also, I am perhaps missing something - to get the other ex's to work I am getting a message "samples not loaded"- was there something I was missing when I installed and authorized the sounds? thanks

I do realize not everyone likes the GHS action, but the Yamaha P125 works for me when I go out as it weighs 25 pounds. I feel as though this particular model has a good sound and decent built in speakers as well as 1/4" outs

I ordered a MacBook Pro that will come in March, this is for a milestone birthday year as well. Went with 64gb and 2TB ssd.

I am like middle age with a milestone birthday next year. The one thing I don't like is the decrease in classic rock concerts I would be seeing due to time moving on . I am hoping social security benefits dont decrease by 2035-2036- heard they might raise the payroll tax rate along the way.

Currently I am using a Lenovo I7- 16gb but the hard drive setup from 3 years ago has a 128gb SSD boot and 1Tb data- the 128gb is almost filled up. I moved to Presonus 26C interface and Studio one with a Arturia controller and really like it. However, I really won't be able to add any more to the boot area. I just ordered a new MacBook Pro and should have it in March. I am hoping all of my Arturia and Presonus /Addictive Keys/ and EZ Drummer run on it.

I just ordered the Nautilus sound libraries that were just made available- and the update to allow Nautilus to use Kronos sounds. (One of them the 4.7GB SG2-X is not unzipping ). To me this shows that they are transitioning to the Nautilus as an in between.

I"m guessing this. Eveything else on the site worked fine for me; just the keyboard authorization fails. I'm just asking- but my authorization failed as well - I retyped without the dashes that were on the public ID of the board and it worked- so I just wanted to throw that out there. now have the registration and am going to download 318 from a different broswer.
