  1. Good recommendation though I want something smaller like 49 key or 37 key as long as it’s not mini keys.
  2. I have small monitors connected to a Bluetooth amp or will use a headphone. It’s more than adequate for what I’ll be doing.
  3. It’s odd that most controllers that are likely compatible with iOS don’t include that in the specs. Definitely won’t need audio back to the controller.
  4. Looks like the Apple AV adapter, rather than the camera adapter, will connect USB-A from a keyboard to the iPad USB-C. It’s $70. Even with that adapter, something like an Arturia KeyLab or M Audio Oxygen doesn’t appear to support iOS devices, only OSX. Is that right?
  5. Is it directly iPad compatible? When I searched the SW site for iPad keyboard controllers, Keystage wasn’t among the results. It looks good, however, $599 is more than I expected. Hoped to be under $300.
  6. I want a simple keyboard controller that directly connects to an iPad (USB-C). Prefer 49 full size keys but would take 37. I would be using it as a sketch pad for arranging ideas. I did what seemed like extensive searches, only came up with an iRig keyboard (37 key only), & would like options. I thought I’d find something iOS friendly from Arturia, M Audio, Novation, etc. but nothing. Am I missing something?
  7. I’m curious what price is accurate for selling a K2500R. I have a K2500RS I’ve long thought about selling.
  8. Maybe 15 years ago, Ingrid Jensen told me she just recorded Infernal Machines and I should get it when released. Love that album! I think his most recent is his best since that debut.
  9. I care most about the jazz categories. My only disappointment was in the large ensemble Grammy. The music of Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society moves big band repertoire forward from the foundation of Gil Evans & Bob Brookmeyer. The Grammy voters do what Grammy voters do and gave the award to the Count Basie Orchestra album of blues with a slate of guest vocalists. While the Basie album is very good, Argue’s “Dynamic Maximum Tension” continues breaking new ground and was more deserving.
  10. This ^ all day My oldest daughter was a trumpet performance major in college. When a highly esteemed, British trumpet player announced a performance near her, I got my daughter tickets as a gift and, with 1 email, arranged a lesson with the artist. If you or your son reached out to Satriani and/or Vai, I’d would be shocked if they didn’t agree to meet him. Not sure asking for a lesson is pushing things.
  11. I have an expensive trumpet and planned to ship it to its builder for routine maintenance. FedEx wouldn’t insure it in transit for more than $1,000 so my insurance agent sold me replacement value coverage for around $90/yr. Maybe 18 months later, the horn fell onto a hardwood floor and was damaged. I worried about whether it could be repaired. The builder was able to fix it perfectly and the insurance covered everything including round trip shipping with $0 deductible.
  12. Though James Francies isn’t exclusively playing organ, he does here with Pat Metheny’s Side Eye trio. I’ve also see Francies with Chris Potter. Excited to hear what he’ll do next.
