Thanks guys, both responses are exactly what I was looking to hear. Looks like I'll be spending some time with the editor.

Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on the SV2 editor. I have used it to create some bass/keys splits, for the rare gig that my bass player has to miss. I'm not super interested in creating layers but, if it's worth the time, I could be persuaded to dive into the different amp sims and cabinet combinations. I feel like i've gotten some great A.P., wurly, calv, and rhodes patches just using the front panel, but if anyone has any suggestions, i'd love to hear them.
-
Not sure why it hasn't dawned on me to boost the bass a bit. Thanks for the input.

Can anyone share with me their favorite Clav settings on the SV2? An acquaintance of mine had the SV1 and I remember being envious of the clav sounds he was using (I've been strictly Nord for a long, long time. Still using an Electro 5 as my top board). I haven't been able to find/tweek one to my liking. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Some great responses, thanks everyone. I've decided to wait. As a few of you have pointed out, it seems like the next model is going to be more than an incremental upgrade. Most of my summer gigs will be outdoors and I usually don't use my macbook for those so i can suck it up and wait another 2-6 months.

Very helpful link, indeed.

My late 2011 MBP died at the very beginning of quarantine. I had upgraded to 16 gig RAM and put in a SSD. I was able to do just about everything I wanted to do with it (running Gigperformer with various plug ins) with a 128 buffer. Only compromise I needed to make, to keep at 128, was to eliminate Amplitube from my EP patches. I was considering the 13" M1 MBP with 16 gig ram with a powered USB hub. It seems like this would be quite an upgrade from what I've been used to. Of course now I'm once again on the fence, given the news that a faster 14" model is on the horizon. Anyone have one of the M1 Macs that they have used for Gigperformer or Mainstage? If I was mostly happy with a late 2011 model, would I be very happy with the current M1 or should I wait on the next big thing? Screen size isn't super important to me and the lure of extra ports is nice, but I can live with using a hub.

Good idea. I"ll hit up the gigperformer forum as well. Thx guys.

Hi all, my late 2011 MBP just died (2.2 i7 w/16 G RAM and SSD, so you know where I"m coming from). I use Gigperformer with a lot of different piano and E piano libraries and an occasional synth. I"m comfortable using a 128buffer, but I did stop using Amplitube on my E pianos as I found it added a touch more latency than I"m cromfortable with. My question; it looks like I can get, for similar pricing, a 2020 MBP 16' with the 9th gen i7 6 core with 16 gig ram or a 13' with 10th gen i7 4 core with 32 gig ram. Both are 500+ SSD (that should cover me with room to spare). Screen size is a non issue...of course the larger screen would be nice but not a factor. I like the idea of the 10gen processor and 32 gig ram, so I guess it really comes down to weather the 6cores will make a big difference over the 4. Any help would be great.

I saw them on the Talk tour and for this song, they brought out a keyboard for Trevor and he played the part live to start the song out. For the rest of the song it's sequenced and Tony Kaye covers the other keyboard parts.
-
Watching him open with a song from Talk, reminded me that Trevor Rabin was sometimes the most interesting keyboard player in Yes.

Right? I didn't notice it for the longest time and then one day it jumped out at me.

I liked Cantebury despite that abrupt decay on the B below Middle C.
All of my other Rhodes emus don"t let me comp left handed while soloing w/o having to play lighter which is an added distraction.
Cantebury was great for comps with over the top right hand presence. Just like the real Stage model.
But Keyscape Rhodes and Custom work better for me so Cantebury is on an External SSD.
Abrupt decay....you worded it better than me, exactly what I'm hearing. In addition to the think upper register.
-
I brought this up last year.
I remember this now. I have the Scarbee and Vtines as well. I like them all for different reasons but have been using the Canterbury more. That small sound in the upper registers isn"t great though.
-
The note in question is the B an octave below middle C. And the octave above middle C and up has a quieter sound.
-
Anyone else using Canterbury Suitcase notice the following issues? B2 has a very short, clipped sound. Almost like a digital "blip" sound. And starting around C6, the volume noticeably drops.
Thanks in advance for any input.

I just got the Stay Piano, two tier version, this past saturday and used it for a gig the same day. It's very light and very quick to set up. In fact, I literally unboxed it at the gig and had it set up, levels to my liking, in minutes. I play sitting so this is the right Stay stand for me. Here's the one issue I encountered, which could be a deal breaker for some; unless you have a very shallow top board (i use an Electro 5D73) it goes right up to the columns and I found that the rotor and expression jacks lined up with the left column. In order to plug them in, I had to slide the board to the right quite a bit. My fear was that it was going to tip but fortunately it stayed stable for the whole gig. I didn't experience any issues with wobbling and I found the top tier tilt to be just the right amount (you can't adjust it).

Thanks for the info @al quinn and I'm sure I'll see you around town at some point. I'm a regular at Bobbique (gigging and eating). It definitely sounds like this would fit my needs as a controller as I really don't need a whole lot of fader/knobs. In fact, with my electro 5D on top I really can't get to any knobs that aren't on the side.
-
I haven't fully warmed up to V Tines yet. I'm still really digging on Canterbury Suitcase. But the original Acoustic Samples Wurli is far and away my favorite, over Broken Wurli, Nord, Scarbee, and pianoteq. I'll have to check this out but I can't imagine that they've improved much over the original one.
-
Phew, so glad it's a pipe organ. I didn't want to buy another B3 VST.
-
@al quinn how do you find it responds the VSTs in regards to touch? I'm currently using my old Nord Stage classic as a controller and it's not great. And yes, nearly neighbors. I have a gig Saturday as well in Patchogue....Bluepoint Brewery. Where are you going to be at?
-
Has anyone been using the S3000 as a MIDI controller? I"m looking to replace my Sl 88 Studio. I use Gigperformer with a handful of AP and EP libraries.
-
In terms of technical ability, I think it's safe to say that Billy is better than Elton. In the same way that it's safe to say that Bruce Hornsby is better than both of them and Keith Jarrett is better than all three. But I prefer Eltons playing to Billys, overall.

I have a Yamaha Yamaha MG06 which has 3 stereo ins. It's $100 so you really can't go wrong. I've had a couple of small behringers in the past and didn't have any issues with them. What I use mostly is a Keith McMillan K Mix. (I'm running a rig that's both hardware and software based so it would probably be overkill in your situation.) It's a digital mixer/audio interface/control surface. I'm running my Macbook w/88 key controller, my Nord5D, and my iPad for synth lead sounds. Very cool, but on the coslty side if you don't need so many bells and whistles.
