    I wish I'd bought the Montage for the better build quality (which is my main beef with the Modx) but it's been a workhorse for years now and keeps proving me wrong.

     

    Yeah, I need the whole PC board for the volume knobs replaced, as I can't solder to save my life.  However, according to Syntaur, Yamaha has them on backorder.  🤬

    Agreed, the picture postcard of an overplayed song, but it is a great song, so I didn't list it - I only list songs I hate for the song itself, not because Godawful radio stations beat it to death. 

     

    Yeah, it is a great song, I just never need to hear it again, and something had to go in the Hate slot.  Lol.

     

    Come to think of it, I could probably put The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks in that slot, too.  That would be an instance where I hate the song.

    Yeah, I'm finally going to skip a new Cherry Audio product. I despise both instruments, and already have them well-covered anyway. To my ears, they sound worse than the worst imaginable string machine.

     

    Same here.  I'm not seeing or hearing anything here that I wouldn't be able to do with a virtual string machine (Arturia Solina V, or the myriad of free Korg emulations from Full Bucket.

    Just checked that album out, and it's right up my alley.  I've always had a thing for "smooth jazz".  It's great when it's done right.

     

    I was also a little inspired by some of Pat Metheny's lighter stuff for that tune, mainly "James", to the point where I used a pretty familiar sound for those Lyle Mays fans out there. ;)

    Got an OnStage KS7292 2-tier stand a little over a week ago.

     

    Yes, it's an X-stand, so sue me!

     

    Feels solid, quick setup, 2nd tier has height and depth adjustment.  Only thing I hate about it is the main supports are a bit short, at 14" in length.  Other than that, it feels nice and solid.  Haven't tried anything really heavy on it yet, such as my 01/W Pro-X, but time will tell.

    This looks cool! Guess I'd still have to figure out how to load the sequencer.....

    I've still got a disk drive in my VFX-SD.  Can't load the sequencer OS via SysEX (Can't find it anywhere) so I'll need to source an original disk.

    I could've picked All For Leyna for the "Love" option, but it completely slipped my mind.  So many great deep tracks in his catalog.

     

    Elton John

    Love it: We All Fall In Love Sometimes/Curtains (One of those situations where you can't have one without the other.)

    Like it: Madman Across The Water

    Hate it: This may be a controversial choice, but I gotta go with Rocket Man.  I've had to play it as a solo spot in way too many bars that when I left that band, I vowed I would never need to hear it again.
