  1. Ive often wondered about doing something similar. What is this 6 inch cube you speak of?
  2. Far out I never seen anything like that. Are we are looking at the key actually physically gouged or acid gouged to a fairly deep depth I have 2 alesis synths one a QS6.1 i used a year ago and has nothing like that. The other an early Quadrasynth plus and although i havent seen it in years it never had anything like that. Its coming out of storage very soon ill have a look. I dont think its an alesis trait
  3. Ahhh finally a use for all those excess Robot Groupies they seemed to have invented for the "lonely ones"
  4. Eventually with the millions of users as they are suggesting, you are going to end up with a lot of people sueing each other over the fact user B's AI music device seems to have copied user A's AI music device and well be back to where we started. Copywrite infringement. With millions of users using AI to design a song the chance of there being similar songs is high i reckon. The way people get sued now for some seemingly vague likeness is going to give the lawyers more money than to the AI inventers. The world is fcked and "frankly my dear, I dont give a damn"
  5. Yes agree. Thats roughly the 1200 aussie price i mentioned. All the software exists in precedding models so no expensive software 4 (or more) actual zones not splits. if you want simple splits the zoning handles that. Plenty of sound options from preceeding models. That quality is as good as it gets already for a stage piano. Its all been paid for Mid dins and proper line outs not headphone outs of some pianos. Wheels above keys to keep it portable. Really they could do this so cheaply using past software only needing new tooling for case. But im guessing a gigging muso is only a drop in the bucket sales wise so they waste money on bells and whistles for the DAW market that a gig keyboard really doesnt need assuming the player just wants a gig keyboard music manufacturers used to be proud of their gigging insruments and cater to the gigger. Now the shareholders have the say on what should be marketed. Theres not a big maket now in gigging players. Not enough to pay the shares.
  6. Isnt this a Tesla way of upgrading or adding functionabilty? Would you like to buy the simulated disk brake option. Or the simulated power steering option? Its in the "cloud" Note: im not having a go at Tesla just getting a handle on the marketing used here
  7. Yes i think all hammer type action will be deep as per my old casio and this. I think the modern casio is slim top but still thickish underneath. i liked a Roland action on one of their budget pianos a few years ago. I find them crisp in a good way. So i understand the depth. Looks like Niacin has found some of its differences that make the RD88 better for live gigging and a better buy at aussie prices Are they going to delete the RD88 for this. But if so why?
  8. Its good to hear you're still liking the RD88. So that gives good credence to the platform as I know you are well versed on various keyboards. As you say maybe there's something we are missing. I guess we wont know till we hear some owner reviews as the marketing is blurb. And perhaps I'm not the target market as i want a simple zoned stage piano for live work. Like the old days. Not interested in its computer related abilities. Hey i was dismayed when i bought the first M Audio 88 note controller. It was feature rich and cheap an actual real bargain in Aussie back then but it was really the beginning of DAW controllers and wasnt that suited to live work. I soon got rid of it as it wasnt for me. Thats when i went away from controllers and to digital pianos instead I guess I'm of another era. Hee hee Hey Delta ive actually just started fooling with a tablet for chart storage like I mentioned to you. I may become a "thoroughly modern Millie" yet Ok you've convinced me to not feel "against" the new RD08 hee hee
  9. That makes no sense at all. You could knock more than that off an instore purchase of the RD88 unless Roland has created a "dont do this order" ROLAND just give us a simple stage piano for a reasonable price instead of this weird marketing tomfoolery
  10. Hoping they may have went tor a lightweight board but at 13.5kg its not as "weight friendly" as many of its competitors. Shame as they kept it slim but Smoke and mirrors. To me around 11.5kg is max id want to schlep. If anyone can build one less than that or a 73 / 76 note version under 10kg id consder to replace my current PX330 The cloud leaves me cold ever since they introduced it so thats a negative for me. That aside at 1700 Aussie dollars its not the budget keyboard they are trying to make out even though i generally like the feel of Roland pianos (not having tried this) so it doesnt even twitch the "bargain buy" nerve At least it has one midi din so that was welcomed that many competitors are leaving off. At 1700bucks I dont see this as a low cost stage piano in Aussie. Maybe a keyboard that came in around 1200 aussie bux fits that criteria but generally none of the competitors here are under 1500 bux. Its just the way the aussie market is kept artificially high. Roland could build a budet stage considering their pianos are better priced lets face it their software is payed for by now. 4 zones, decent sounds, midi dins. Lightweight under 11.5 kg and forget this clown stuff ohh i mean cloud stuff Was hoping they had hit a low price I'm finding new stuff here just isnt value for money leaving me considering only used stuff as Im looking for a weighted lightweight board that might replace my PX330. Maybe? To me in used the PX5s maybe the ticket although its new price is up there with the roland maybe 200 bux less. But at least they are out there used. Fortunately i have my semi weighted 88 sorted but was maybe hoping for an affordable lightweight hammer action 88 this roland isnt it.
  11. Hah... yes "hate the cloud" Is this Rolands keyboard version of real world cloud "seeding" Give them what they think they want to ultimately control the world. Well the keyboard world anyway. Roland "NO CLOUD FOR YOU!"
  12. Exactly. I'm presently doing that for my new duo. Infact i was up last night charting a bunch of songs for a rehearsal today. I learn / remember more by charting a song than simply playing it. I sit at piano with song playing starting stopping it till i have charted every bar in "wrote". Including vocals where needed. Im A4 size intially Then i try to reduce its size down to that cut in half essentially A5 in portrait on my computer to print out. Next project is to convert all these paper charts to viewing on a tablet in A5 portrait. Just reading about tablets and e ink tablets last night. Another learning curve.
  13. Thanks Jose. Will look into that when workshop is setup. I just did a quick battery change on the new music room floor incase that was a lucky fix. Hopefully I'll have room for a few keyboards to be open so i may do the XP80s at the same time when my workshop is ready as there is enough bench space Ill keep you notified down the track It may be a while yet
  14. Hey Jose thanks for this thread. I just returned from a 12 hour drive with my old XP50 which had been stored at my brothers place for 9 years after almost leaving it behind when we moved interstate. Luckily he took it home for me. In those years the battery died and upon startup the display is low contrast and no sound emanates from the phones or outputs. I replaced the battery and did a reset so now its normal other than the no sound. i hear mostly XP50s usually have a very faint sound or crackling when caps go. Mine is totally silent. Its in almost new cosmetic condition which brings me to a wish to get it going again although i have 2 XP80s in storage with the red goo problem. But after 9 years storage these may also now need caping My question is before i look at capping can you think of other reason for zero sound not even crackling
