Sounds good but almost every thing sounds good on 888 C1 chorus and percussion. Especially when Joey is playing it.

I'd try out easier stuff first like using one keyboard to play sound from the other one just so you get your hands on some midi channels and start to understand the midi innards of your boards. Setting up Program Change can be diving in at the deep end. Especially if you have to put in bank addresses. Some stuff requires knowing something about sysex.

I want to see how AI deals with computer viruses. Just wait until an lnsane computer virus infected robot goes on a killing spree.
Blade Runner 2025. Or worse, grows his hair long and learns to play the Hammond Organ. Don't say it can't happen. I've seen people on Instagram that I'm sure are robot hippy cycho killers.

When I played the MODX7 next to the MOXF6, I felt that the MODX was similar but not identical. Obviously, there's the new matte finish to the black keys. But there's also something more "solid" feeling about the MODX landing. Maybe the throw is a bit shorter? It also felt to me like the feel of the key through its travel was a bit more consistent, with less of the "bump of resistance" you get toward the top of the MOXF's travel.
These Rolands are only slightly narrow. You can stack over an 88-hammer action, and it still lines up, unlike Yamahas. The deviation from "piano sized" is at least double on the Yamahas compared to what it is on the Rolands.
That seems crazy to me. All the complaining I read about Roland keys and to learn Yam's are that far from standard width. It took me 6 months to not be sloppy on Rolands.
I don't think I could ever get used to the Yamahas as you describe.

Also: the keys are a tiny bit narrower than from other manufacturers (this is a Yamaha thing that goes back to at least to the DX7 afaik), and I can never tell if this is contributing to the problem or if it's all just in my head.
Roland juno DS and A800 keys are narrow too. And I'd bet all the Fantoms, D50 and Juno romplers too. I'm thinking it's a synth key thing by not just one mfg.

Elton stuffed into a cage on the Simpsons should count for something:
Some props for the uhh Bally Table King. It's not as epic as the Great Shondell but it's pretty good.

Liberace was a villain on Batman. Actually 2 villians. That tops anything Elton could do for me. Elton lost this contest before it even started.

That's a great name drop! I'd like to hear what you are doing with the band. Originals?
I'm still trying to put it together so I have no samples yet. Like I said I don't have the optimal 3rd guy yet. But I will definitely post in the shameless plugs when I got something.
Yeah Vincent Crane.
If I had the chops I'd do some quatermass but alas I'm no Peter Robinson.

Not really a jazz trio for me, maybe more like Atomic Rooster but yeah LH bass is fun in a trio. But it does limit me to more simplified parts and the decision is if I'm going to solo do I solo over a bass line with no chords or solo over chords and the bass drops out. I think I'd like a bass/guitar player with a doubleneck. With the right guy and a great drummer I could see a great project. I don't hold much hope though. Any of the good bass players around here jump from band to band on a gig by gig basis for the $$$. Experimental music is mostly dead.

I'm going to have to play a mellotron dirge. RIP Mr Pinder.

I wonder if it is any different than the leslie in the Gemini/Mojo? If it isnt I hope that they would offer it in the Gemini. If it is what is in the Gemini now I would pass on it. I already own the BURN and the Vent and frankly when I have a big show i go with either the BURN or the Vent, meaning I like the BURN/Vent better than the leslie in the Gemini. If this new pedal is the same as the current Gemini's leslie algorithm then it isnt, to me, an upgrade over the original BURN. I guess we'll have to hear what it sounds like and if it truly is new and better I would hope that at least the new algorithm is is added to the Gemini. So far the only leslie sim that truly turns my head since the original Vent intro is B3x. If that leslie sim were offered in a hardware pedal i'd press the 'buy now' button regardless of the price.
I also like the b3x leslie at least enough to leave my vent at home in most cases. I checked to see if there was an ik mm standalone leslie and the answer is yes. But it's confusing to sort out their T-racks products from Amplitube and which is supporting what platform ie windows or ios.

I go for a good plate verb. Digital of course. Or some clone if a good lexicon tiled room. The Zoom pedal ms70cdr has a great tiled room copy. It never gets muddy or in the way. Good for vocals too.

Synths will die when:
1 The audience is gone.
2 The players are gone.
Especially #2.
I do wonder if hardware synths will disappear leaving the zenology model to stand. It's suprising how long B3s have stuck around. They were king in the 60s before the guitar plus distortion sound took over. And before that it was saxophone. All of these are still popular for looking back at the music of their heyday. None are making NEW great music in our day.
Today's dominant instrument is the Hip Hop producers computer. That takes a different king of chops and it remains to be seen if any of it becomes classic and is covered by ensembles 50 years from now or is discarded like a candy bar wrapper.

I can't find anything anywhere to suggest that any of the many audiokit synth apps support aftertouch.

AUM runs on windows?
Being that Reaper is a DAW, it wouldn't be my first (or even 3rd) choice for a live keyboard rig. In my case, I spend 8-10 hours a day, 5-6 days a week with Reaper recording clients in the studio. Your post mentioned dated 32 bit VSTs. If your goal is to use them, then Windows and Reaper with it's ability to easily bridge 32 to 64bit plugs will meet that goal.
No AUM is iOS. I have those old vst's but I'm not staying up nights thinking about them. I have dozens of iOS apps too and they are far more better than the windows ones. I wouldn't trade AUM for any other instrument app host or iPad for any other device.

FWIW, Reaper bridges 32 bit plugs automatically. No muss, no fuss, Easy Peasy. As JoJoB3 mentioned above, Reaper is IMO the best DAW out there. Insanely powerful and stable.
I have used reaper and like it. But the version I used several years ago was awkward to set up the channel controls for midi control. Compared to AUM it's like having 2 hands and 1 foot tied behind my back. Setting up splits and zones and different midi channels for each instrument in a session in AUM is super easy and in reaper I'm not even sure it can do all the settings I use. Like setting the octave range of a zone or midi control of every parameter on any auv3 instrument of effect app. And saving all those assignments. Maybe the 2024 version of reaper can but i doubt it, the 2016 version of reaper for sure couldn't.

I thought jbridge still worked to allow you to run the 32-bit plugins? Though I wouldn't be surprised if stability could be an issue.
My biggest issue was windows, hence my strong move to ipad which I wish I did years earlier. Although NOW is the sweetspot to get in to ipads as the 9th Gen ipad has the power to be extremely reliable.

I don't know how android tech savvy you are but here's a video about enabling ON THE GO which is sort of androids version of camera kit speak.

Yes... In terms of Mac/PC, there are some nice low-cost (or even free) VSTs you can run on PC
I actually have at least a few hundred interesting and usable FREE synths for windows I harvested from KVR a number of years ago. Including Organized Trio from GSI. An early form of VB3. I have barely tried the first 20 of them. Problem is they are all 32 bit and getting less stable as windows gets updated, I'm not even sure how many still work in windows 11. And the flow of all the freebies died out about 5 years ago. The culture of homemade synths from the synthedit platform that was going on back in the pre 2016 era ended.
It's a shame because I have a couple of really good mellotrons like redtron, that are ridiculously good for free.
-
Another factor that's a plus for ipad is iOS apps seem to be much less in price than PC vsti's.

If both adapters are usb C why won't the old adapter work with the new phone?
