The 5G Duet was made possible using specially developed and innovative technology from tech-specific creative agency The 5Gs Ltd. Two Yamaha Disklavier E3 Baby Grand Pianos situated in different places were used. These acoustic pianos had a sensor and actuator system that allowed them to detect what keys are being pressed, as well as play back recordings of previous performances. Vodafone connected each piano to a laptop over the USB-Midi interface. When a note was played on the piano, the midi signal was sent to the laptop. The midi data was then processed and routed over a private VPN [virtual private network] to the cloud via a 5G Gigacube attached to the laptop by Ethernet. Once in the cloud it was passed back to the second laptop, and then on to the second piano, which would, in real time, play the note on the keyboard. And the same in the other direction at the same time.

Over the last twenty years, I've gigged regularly with Kurzweil K2000, then K 2661, then PC361. Never had a single problem with any of them.

As MG says, be patient. I've always found it worth the wait for Wolfgang. He's the Man!

LX88-using your Numa as controller, the click knob adjusts the percussion volume, treble knob the tone trim pot, bass knob the swell trim cap, drive knob the amp122 o/drive, rev knob selects 3 reverbs and the leak knob selects 4 leakage levels. Also if you select the Numa split button with the octave up it allows you an extra octave of organ from the preset keys. Makes an excellent controller for the HX3, just a great pity the high trigger point is missing.

Quote from the users manual:-"Swell Trim Cap adjusts organ output volume like the trim cap in B3 swell pedal control. Higher values add more punch and output transformer saturation effects". I use a Yamaha FC7 pedal into the swell socket on the back of the module. Boosting the setting gives more volume and overdrive as you push the pedal down.

Apart from the low trigger point, the Numa works perfectly as a controller for the module. With some slight differences, all the knobs drawbars and buttons do as they usually do, plus if you select the split button with octave up, it gives you another octave for the lower manual on the reverse keys.As the Numa has the KeyB engine, you just select that option on the screen. There are over 70 parameters selectable from the screen so you can fine tune everything to suit and save with one button press. Unless Diversi are suppying one, there is no power unit with the module ,so you would have to add that to the price.

LX...Mitch is right, the Numa organ Mk1 will only trigger midi out sounds on the low key point. I've been emailing with GG at Studiologic and he has tried to find a solution but seems it would require a firmware update which is not possible just now. I'ts a real shame as all the Numa controls work great with the expander but I can't work with the low trigger point so I'm going with the X3-1 organ.

Very sturdy rickzjamm, in every direction. ----------------------------------------- Thanks Moe. I had mentioned to our guitarist last gig that I might paint them but he says he likes them silver and as he gets the gigs maybe I'll leave them. LoL!

The notches on the crossbars locate into the bolts on the opposite upright pipe for transporting the stand. The bottom bolts of the crossbars are through holes in the bar and fixed permanently to the uprights by nyloc nuts. The top of the bar is a notch or slot which slides onto the top bolt. (see pics) I originally had the front spars done this way too but had to give up on that as there was not enough knee room so I had to relocate the bottom bolts to the middle upright instead of the front one, so these now detach completely.http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l47/ballatman/DSCF2961_zps6bb88914.jpghttp://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l47/ballatman/DSCF2956_zps17ce0ce6.jpghttp://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l47/ballatman/WestDunbartonshire-20140315-00497_zpsf4d7f05f.jpg Hope this answers your question.

After the comment by Dglavko and inspired by Moe and all the other talented stand builders on the forum, I consulted my local plumbers merchant with a view to designing and building a three tier stand from ABS plastic piping. After much measuring I constructed two stepped side frames made from pipes cut to size and using 90 degree angle and tee joints. Three crossbars of pipe joined the sides together but although fine for the weight support, there was too much side flexing so I replaced the crosspipes with flat aluminium bars.The stand is now rigid in all directions and very light.Some antislip matting and a bit of padding brings everything into line and after eight gigs everything is still rock solid and my boards are in perfect position for me.http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l47/ballatman/WestDunbartonshire-20140315-00496_zps8012786a.jpghttp://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l47/ballatman/DSCF2953_zps75cae365.jpg
