  1. I’ve also been using Gear Exchange and they have a well-thought-out system. As Rabid said, it’s taken a while for some pieces, but I’ve been happy. And if you have them handle the shipping label the cost is very good. Sold 4 things through them so far and everything has gone great. Jerry
  2. I can’t speak to their love of puzzles, but in my long experience I do know that they are not put off by long, multi-step processes to achieve an end result. They don’t suffer from the impatience that so many of us do. I was able to address that in a lot of features we put into KORG gear after I started there. Things in the Triton were my first visible examples of that. Not meaning to make this about me, just sharing some first-hand observations/knowledge.
  3. I had to also download the newest version of the Kontakt Player for it to work.
  4. Easy enough to look for: For use with:Free Kontakt Player version 7.8 and higher or Kontakt version 7.8 and higher
  5. This sounds great, and has a surprisingly broad set of features. I’ve watched some concert clips where he did this with the audience. Am I to believe all of this was sourced at his concerts? Pretty incredible if so.
  6. I’m not sure those companies already have the assets available to use.
  7. I've been in that exact situation with him many times. We did a great session of him playing sound demos when the Korg SV-1 first came out. Sadly, I don't think they're on the Korg website any more. The only thing I could find is this "commercial/demo", but he recorded almost 2 dozen examples for us that day. Edit: I found some of his demos at the end of this long group on their SoundCloud account: https://soundcloud.com/korg/sets/sv1-demos. But much earlier, when we were releasing the OASYS PCI card, he came into the small soundroom, and starting doing what he did on that Keyscape video. So we could just ask him, "can you play XXX?" and he did. He's an incredible musician. Jerry
  8. I love Dave G - always nice to hear an arranger who is a strong player. Tunes aren't just an excuse to blow, they put real thought into crafting an arrangement/setting for their playing. Bob James is the same, although he is usually doing that in a small group/trio setting these days. Here's a few examples from him:
  9. Not to digress, but some of the score readers have functions for this... UnRealbook has "hot spots" that you can touch and they go to a pre-determined page/spot. Good for those repeats, D.C/D.S. al Coda things.
  10. You make a compelling case - thanks for all you're contributing. While I certainly know his work, you are uncovering things I didn't know. I can't wait to see that documentary.
  11. Damn, he's great. Clean articulation in both hands. Never heard of him before - thanks for this!
  12. You mean M1. He wore out that Overture sound as a pad. But I think he still uses a Moog PianoBar (actually designed by Don Buchla), so perhaps he runs the Korg M1 plug-in at times. I'd have to research that.
  13. This is becoming a great thread about great rock keyboardists. I love every one mentioned. But it is NOT a reasonable discussion of THE greatest. That’s a discussion of a singular candidate. Not a case where we all try to point out if a great player wasn’t mentioned. Or to try to fit all genres of music under the single banner of rock. Now that said, I’d much prefer to talk about and celebrate all the greats. It shouldn’t be a contest for the BEST. Thanks for hearing me out - I just needed to say that. Carry on.
  14. Saw this the other day - so beautiful/masterful/add your favorite adjective. I think Bruce was talented from his first release, but over the years has grown into such a deep artist, not afraid to take chances, change things up and keep his music fresh and spontaneous. I only recently saw him live for the first time last year at Town Hall in NYC, and he had John Schofield, Kenny Garrett and Christian McBride as special guests. So they jammed a bit more, and it was wonderful seeing Bruce calling audibles and following the flow/guiding the proceedings along. A great artist who is at the peak of his powers nowadays. Thanks for the reminder.
