I thought I detected a disturbance in the force (no, not you Steve ). Hope everyone is well, thanks for the remembrance.

I’ll have to try my Expressionmate and also my Roli Seaboard Rise 49 to see how those work…

Looks like I picked a good day to come back to the forum, and I know what I’ll be buying for the studio this week… 😎

Congrats on the new digs, all. Will try and return to semi-active duty, if only to get beyond the "Newbie" badge that I'm currently sporting... Also, to echo others that have said it, none of the forum-specific graphical labels/icons are loading at all, ie. the Facebook & Instagram logos at the bottom of each page, but also buttons/arrows/etc). It's like the hardware on the kitchen cabinets in the new house; I'm sure they're coming any minute now... Cheers, SG

This, sadly, will likely never see the light of day. There's a very good reason there are very few MIDI/Audio options on the Android platform.... and there's no way GSi is going to be able to support every single variant of every single OS and hardware combination out there. It's a nice little experiment (and, if you read closely, you'll see that there is NO commitment to actually release it), but I don't see it making it to production status. I hope I'm wrong, of course, but I don't see it happening. Happy to have to retract this post at a future date, though.

Surprised nobody's mentioned this yet*, but why not go with a MicroKey Air 61 as mentioned above, and the CMI Widi Master for Bluetooth MIDI connectivity? Works great (well, I'll assume the Korg side will work great, it did with my Macbook Pro and iPad, so it should be fine with the better CME option). https://www.cme-pro.com/widi-master/ * Sorry, thought this was an older thread.

Deepest condolences to Michael and Scott. I will try to connect later tonight, around 11pm Eastern, after my other weekly Zoom gathering.

For what it's worth, I'm glad I signed on tonight, it was great to see everyone. More food/recipe conversation than I was expecting, but I did learn about Champagne Vinegar, so that's a new thing! Thanks to Joe for the heads up... looking forward to seeing folks on March 26th, I'll jump on around 10:30pm Eastern.

You mean the P5 that isn"t plugged in or connected to anything. Facepalm, indeed.

I"m glad I joined, albeit late. Was great to finally put a face to a number of screen names I"ve seen over the years. Sorry I was too late to catch a few notables, maybe next time.

I think your point was lost on almost every person posting in this thread, Grey. A shame, because it really is a worthwhile discussion. Me, I'm going to be starting a Twitch channel about me playing checkers with my dog.

I'm surprised this hasn't already hit the forum! Back in 2015, our friend Zephonic asked, in this thread about StaffPad (for Windows Surface tablets): Well, they've done it. Rebuilt from the ground up, apparently. StaffPad for iPad & Windows A pretty great review from ScoringNotes.com: [video:youtube]

You need to connect via WiFi, not cable. Try Mojo/ instead of the IP address. Also, can you either cut & paste the exact text of the error message or provide a screen capture? Doesn"t sound familiar as a Mojo 61 owner.

^^^^^ This.

Uli already has someone named "Ned Diaz" on the payroll doing that job.

Please stop doing this, as you are not doing anything remotely approaching what you believe you are doing (you are either only hearing the left side, or far worse, you are introducing phase issues and run the risk of damaging your keyboard and other audio gear with this approach). So many discussions about this here; do some research, but please stop using a SPLITTER cable to SUM audio signals.

So.... you're not quitting then?

C"mon, if you"re going to try and showcase all that is wrong with keytar performance, why not hit us with his 'Top 10 solos' vid? [video:youtube] (Highlight is the wicked effects in use at the 2:45 mark.... ) (And apologies, but you can never get back those 4+ minutes of your life after watching that video, I"m sorry.)

Sigh... fine, Scott, you win. Later.

Don't look down. Seriously. You should be able to know where you are without looking once you've established your starting position. Practice by playing 'regular' keys with your eyes closed, right hand only, to get familiarized. Then do the same while wearing the slab of shame (errr... keytar) . Eventually you will know where you are by how far away your right hand is from your left hand at its anchor position on the control grip. If in doubt, lightly rest your hand on the accidentals, to determine where you are, and use that to reset your starting position.

That's because he's using 4 controllers (3 keyboards and one control surface) that use USB-MIDI. You are not using those types of keyboards, so it's not the same. However, assuming your Roland A800 is the black A800Pro, then this is dead easy. Connect MIDI OUT from the Nord to MIDI IN on the Roland A800Pro. Set MIDI MERGE switch to ON Connect USB from Roland to Mac Set your Nord's MIDI channel to any channel that is different from the Roland's channel. Now, this will get the two keyboards sending their MIDI data to the computer over a single USB cable. The next part can get tricky. Given that you're intending on doing this live, I recommend something like Mainstage, Gig Performer, or a similar live Virtual Instrument host application. This will allow you to run numerous virtual instruments (ie. Omnisphere, Keyscape, etc) at the same time, and route signals where you want, when you want. The specifics of this are beyond the scope of this post, but there are LOTS of tutorials out there for those software solutions. If you want to test this without spending any money on new software, then run both Omnisphere and Keyscape. Set one to the MIDI Channel that the Nord is transmitting on, the other to the MIDI Channel the Roland is transmitting on. Now each virtual instrument will be played by a different keyboard. That's the basics. Good luck. * Edited to add: you are a LONG way away from being ready to use this live. Don't even think about taking this on a gig in the next 30 days or more. Trust me, this is experience talking. ** Edited again to add link to A800Pro manual: Clonk here.

Absolutely %100 with this - especially when you're a pro or semi-pro - a gig without at least one practice is unheard of - there's too many variables in assuming that what you play is what the band is playing - 'note for note' is not a prerequisite that is the norm these days. This is just not the case in California. There are incredible high quality bands where a sub doesn't need to rehearse. Same here in Toronto.

I've tried, but I find it Impossible. [video:youtube]

Zombie thread....

My pleasure.
