    Motion Sound in Canada

    in The Keyboard Corner

    Posted

    I used to have instruments and vintage car parts shipped to a friend"s place just across the border, drive over, pay any border fees and taxes. As of March 2019 most of the states have imposed a sales tax on online sales. Last fall I was able to buy a Vintage Air unit for my '72 convertible at dealer cost. Since it was delivered in Niagara Falls NY I had to pay 7% NY State sales tax plus the Ontario taxes.Still saved about $600 over buying the same unit up here. As drawback stated it is expensive.

    Sorry to nerd out here, but i saw this keyboard in the latest episode of Star Trek Picard. It was only shown for a few seconds.

     

    Did Picard try to send SysEx? :whistle:

     

    Ha ha No! :roll:

     

    I saw that as well. Might have just been the angle of the shot but it looked fairly large and deep. Engage Number 1. ðºð

    Since Pete Traynor was a good friend of my father I always had a Bass Mate, columns and other Traynor gear. Mate, that Shure Mixer brought back memories. Anyone else also use a Bogen preamp? I remember mixing and matching various Fender heads and cabs with Traynor amps and cabs. One one tour we were given Sunn amps to use, we weren"t used to that much power and our guitar player nearly blew our ears out. While my head may miss the sound my back is grateful for today"s smaller, lighter gear.

    Classifieds - how do you buy/sell?

    I"ve bought and sold on various forums, Ebay and last week tried Facebook Marketplace with excellent results (synth sold and picked up within 2 days). I once traded a JD800 straight up for a Juno60 while on Vintage Synth. A huge leap of faith as I shipped first, waiting for its arrival before the Juno shipped. The JD box was trashed upon arrival thankfully I had plenty of other packing around it even at that a corner cap was broken but all else was fine. He shipped the Juno, the box was a mess but no damage to the synth. He still has the JD and I the Juno 9 years later. I"ll ship a rack these days but not a kybd.

    Karn Evil 9 - the movie

    I saw ELP live on the Brain Salad Surgery tour.

    Karn Evil 9 was played. The entire show was fantastic.

     

    They had a quadraphonic sound system.

     

    I was more or less in the center of the floor at the arena when Keith E unleashed the sequenced arpeggios that swirled around the stadium.

    Being "on a higher plane" at that moment in time, I left the floor or perhaps it disappeared and gravity failed.

     

    Anyway, I remember it now and think I'll just leave well enough alone. Among the best live shows I've ever seen.

     

     

    Saw the BSS tour in Vancouver, likely we shared the same 'state/plane'. When the quad kicked in most ppl looked up and followed the sound in each of the 4 speakers. I had seen Led Zep not long before and thought that ELP had more speakers in the air than LZ had onstage. With the Colliseum being round the sound really swirled and was loud. Bought my MiniD shortly after that ELP concert.

    Markyboard, thank-you very much for your great video. Given that I am not looking for a replacement to my '74 mini I did find the sound differences btn the 2 enlightening. It has a different character and features. Once I determine that the issues brought up on the various forums have been resolved I will add one as I can hear where it can enhance some of our soundtrack work. I"ll ask Brian Kehew his thoughts after he has had sometime with it which knowing BK he ultimately will.

    Looking fwd to playing this and really dive into its organ and Leslie. From the videos and audio streams to me the organ& Leslie sound merely ok. I like the other features prefer a 7x keybed as this is strictly for taking to jams not for soundtrack work.

    Hammond B-3X for IPad

    I have Galileo 2 which is not too bad, so the question that those of us using IOS - is the B3-X @ 10 x"s 'better' for our specific needs. For my specific needs, using a good waterfall controller and the iPad to take to jam sessions. Galileo has been ok and able to cut through since I started using it this summer. When I picked it up for @ $4 on sale. I am still looking for a good light weight waterfall controller to bring instead of using either a Fantom X6, Prophet 08 or at times a Korg Radias.
