I have many synths but not one from Roland. was thinking of Roland cloud. any advice. what is the cost and is it worth it. would appreciate any advice.

totally agree with you about all your comments regarding power supplies and plastic construction. it was very refreshing reading your post as I am tired of people whining. I quit playing out a couple of years ago since I refuse to play at what the pay scale is now. the last 11 years of playing out, I averaged 5-6 nights a week that included some air travel. never had any problems with power supplies and plastic construction. took care of my equipment and always had back-ups. another gripe by everyone is keyboard touch. I have adapted to every keyboard I owned. you can't play a Hammond like a piano or synth.

really need some good advice before I drop too much money. wondering if purchasing an access virus ti2 is a smart decision for me. I presently have a behringer poly d and deepmind 6, korg wavestate, minilogue xd, and modwave, novation peak, waldorf blofeld, hydrasynth, yamaha psr-s950 and modx6. I also have several plug-ins like komplete 12, v-collection 7, and several others. I don't need or would use a multi-timbral module as the virus is. just doing recordings in my fl studio. some originals and some rock and jazz type of recordings and some cinematic and atmospheric type of recordings. I know that the virus is a very good synth with great reviews but is the virus unique sounding as compared to what I already have. I spend many, many hours buying and editing sounds to my liking for all my synths, so I am always looking for different sounds that I have. in addition, I heard that the help from contacting access directly is not that good at all. also, I heard that repair of their products is not up to par which leads me not to buy a used virus ti. the new ones I guess is the way to go but that price is high. any help will be greatly appreciated

my korg poly six

I just had to put in my two cents. I have plenty of digital and analog synths. years ago I bought a Yamaha psr-s950. I made some great clavs, strings, e-pianos, horn sections(really nice horns), percussion and drums are up to par with others, and the very best tenor sax on the market. not even the kronos, any roland could even come near the tenor sax. I have played a gig years ago and several musicians were looking and finally asked me where the sax was. I know sound is an opinion but someone compare the tenor sax anywhere to the upper Yamaha psr series or the tyros or genos

dx-7

great keyboard. lot of libraries you can buy for it.

I have a 1962 hammond a-100 with an original leslie 122 in my music room. my wife says it smells in there, from the age and hammond oil and I know since this is not the first hammond I owned. get rid of the wife or the hammond. just joking.

my only advice would be to immediately change the internal battery. they are very cheap. also, you will find thousands of free voices that you can download from the web.

unfortunately even with 12 keys and modules and a hammond and leslie, still have the disease. always looking for something new even if I have the bases covered

novation peak and two tee shirts. you wouldn't believe how excited I was over the two plain blue shirts.

I have bought a few casio W series just for the sax sounds. since then I have the yamaha psr series for the sax sounds. to me the most realistic sax out there comparing it to the workstations out there. namely Korg and kurtzweil. ooh I know I going to get some flak on this. I have a great sax sound for yamaha modx I downloaded from their site by their guru. I will be very interested in the new casio and the price.

another behringer poly d

for me PASS

another stantastic owner. I have a two tier and a three tier that I added a fourth level, by purchasing extra arms, added a small piece of plywood and now it holds two keyboards and three desktop synths. to me the most important thing is that it is very solid, doesn't bounce like many stands. I can't see how anyone could play on a wobbly stand.

novation peak

try east west hollywood pop brass, unbelievable

korg modwave

years ago I received one call from them. just recently I received a call from musicians friend. only bought from them once years ago. right now sweetwater is the only place I buy from. nobody but nobody can beat their price, well at least for me, and on top of it tech support and a two year warranty.

great, great Hammond player and to me the way a Hammond should be played. kicking pedals. not this left hand bass crap with taping one bass pedal lightly.

I really don't need either one but I have the sickness of buying more synths. would like some opinions on the purchase of either one. I know I should be waiting for the behringer pro 800 but no information on when it will become available. any help here will be appreciated. so take 5 or the novation peak. I kind of think that the peak is a better buy. back in the day I always wanted the prophet 5 after my DX-7 but never got around to it. just my opinion that everyone still wants a sequential even if there are better options at a more reasonable price.

yamaha psr series or yamaha genos or korg. everything tosaound like a full band

I owned three B-3's. a BC, two C-3, an A-102 and an A-100 with a 122 leslie which I have right now. the weakest Hammond I owned was the B-3's. sounded weak, not ballsy. My BC was poor. one of my C-3s, was one of the best. the other C-3 was very poor. My present A-100 beats them all except for my A-102. my A-102 was the very best. My A-100 is solid, ballsy and screams, but not quite what my A-102 sounded like. I laugh when I hear, got to have a B-3. every Hammond sounds different. pick the one that sounds best to you. Larry......long time Hammond player from New York, to New Orleans, and now Florida. and I kick pedals, the way it was meant to be.

maybe it's just me but take 5 did not impress me in the least bit. nothing really different. i have the deepmind, poly d. korg minilogue xd, hydrasynth, waldorf blofeld and many other keyboards along with quite a few vst plugins namely arturia 7 and others. nothing in the demos impressed me. I am pretty sure I can get close to these sounds with what I own. what really impressed me was my korg wavestate, really different from all the synths that I own. just my two cents. the only thing that I may consider is the access virus ti2, but the cost to me is holding me back...........Larry

to The Real MC, just wondering where in florida did you move to. I'm in Tequesta, next to Jupiter.
