Had to add one of these to my studio... Had a V1 Desktop back in the day and loved it... http://www.virus.info/_media/images/Picture-VTI2-Keyboard-LB1000x479.png

I've gotten a lot of new stuff recently but probably the single biggest purchase was the set of Barefoot Audio mm45's http://barefootsound.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Unknown.png

I have the rise 25. It's pretty cool, but I definitely get hand fatigue playing this thing. I'm trying to decide if I should keep it. I also have a 49 on order. I too agree that it is absolutely crazy that you can't save your configuration settings and that it doesn't have any presets for config. Johnchop, Do you have any trouble with bluetooth le on this thing? When connecting to my MacBook and iPad I loose the connection from time to time and a lot of times the macbook won't recognize it when setting it up as bluetooth midi. I noticed in the NAMM video the Jordan and the crew are connected via USB, which I don't blame them, but if they really believed that bluetooth was solid why wouldn't they demo that way? I also noticed that the String samples in the Legato Strings patch are bad, if you hold a note out long enough there is a part in the sample that has bad cracking audio. It's evident on both the equator app and the noise app. Overall it's pretty cool, but I was hoping I might be able to incorporate it in a live setting since it's really cool to watch someone playing this thing, but I'm not really sure it fits the bill for live use. Could just be that I'm not all that great on this thing just yet.

Don't feel bad, It's not for everyone. I too got one a couple weeks back and I'm sending it back to sweetwater. I don't like the sound at all and I have a CP4 running through it. I've done a lot of moving it around, eq'ing and making sure all the gain staging was correct. I just could not get used to the sound. Sticking with my stereo setup of QSC K10s. Sucks that I'm out about $50 shipping but it is what it is and I don't doubt that people obviously love this thing, I just could not get used to the sound.

Awesome, thanks, also if anyone needs one get it from amazon for $25 cheaper and free same day delivery http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002E4YI8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00

I'm sure this has been mentioned, but since there isn't a search feature for the thread I will ask. What are people doing to eliminate hum in their SS. I'm pretty sure it's a ground loop issue because if I pull the ground pin from the cord (I know, dangerous) it largely disappears. Any recommendations?

I'm guessing sideways would not be good if the floor was carpet? Was thinking of going with it sideways in my room at home, but it's carpet. Guess it wouldn't hurt to try
