  1. I'm a bit torn putting together a new "fly-away" rig and I am curious what others would suggest. I currently own a Surface Pro 3 and use it a lot live for some light "extra" VST sounds. It unfortunately is not powerful enough to run the entire rig with full piano and layered strings etc... My dilemma is, do I pick up a used Motif Rack XS for the heavy lifting or should I upgrade to a more powerful computer? I prefer a 2n1 because I can easily fold the screen flat and velcro it to a keyboard. If I go the computer route it can't be glitchy... Just looking for some suggestions and specs.

     

    Thank you! ð

  2. I am using a Dmc-122 with the Gemini expander. For some reason I can no longer connect to the interface. The Gemini wifi is not available. It doesn't show up in the list of available networks so I have no way of connecting. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have been using this setup for a couple of years now and suddenly it appears not to be broadcasting a signal. Not sure what to do next. Any help would be much appreciated.
  3. I apologize if this has been covered but I haven't heard it mentioned here. I use my SK2's second manual as an external keyboard to trigger sounds in my s90es. I realized that there is no velocity control or aftertouch when playing sounds this way. Am I correct about this? Does the Hammond SK2 not send velocity or aftertouch information? If not has anyone found a work around for this? It's hard to believe that the SK2's controller abilities are handicapped like this.
  4. Thank you Bob (Jazzmammal). I do use many settings during a single song. I usually keep one preset and play with drawbars and percussion all night. I am using a Yamaha FC7 pedal. Maybe I am getting ear fatigue but usually by the second set of the night my maxed pedal seems too low. I was wondering if their is an output compressor setting or +4 output gain setting that I am missing?
  5. Hey guys I have been having a little issue with my SK2 regarding volume. It seems that the output is lower than my other keys in my rig. Almost like it has a compressor on it. I usually keep the master volume at 50% cuz I've noticed unwanted distortion when kept in the full position. I have it running through a small mackie mixer, then out to the FOH. But it always seems to me that it gets buried in my monitor mix. Does anyone else experience this?
  6. I absolutely love this thread! Very helpful as I just purchased an SK2. I wonder why this isn't a "sticky".

     

    I haven't decided if I am going to get the half moon switch but I was wondering if any one has had any luck with triggering the leslie via a midi control like a mod wheel from another keyboard? I use the SK2 on top of my S90ES and the leslie is a bit far away to reach and I don't want to use a foot switch. Thanks.
