  1. Although the QSC 10's are probably the best (to me), they are heavy so I bought 2 JBL Eons for $500 (or maybe less with the Amazon CC) - maybe I got both for $350. They sound really good on the gig and are plenty loud to me. They are very similar to the Personus with DSP for EQ. Unfortunately they don't make them anymore, the new ones are probably better. I have not had good luck with Presonus. My interface are abandoned quickly, then the posts went scratch fast. Then their USB interfaces popped when turning on/off. But I'm sure there are other models that are much better than the ones I got.
  2. The size of the Yamaha keyboards and the weight is the reason I can't use them for my local gigs. I request them on riders, but I just can't carry an awkward sized keyboard anymore. The S90ES was my last massive keyboard.
  3. There is a "kit" to repair these buttons. I bought it but unfortunately never had to the time to test it. Was going to try it on an old JX-3p. Apparently it is supposed to work. This is not the one I got, but you get the idea. TV Remote repair kit.
  4. Before I take any ribbon off,, I mark one side with a sharpie if it's not keyed or already labeled. And yes to the picture of everything before doing anything. Oh, and test before putting back together if you can.
  5. Over here, everything black is what most people wear. I don't have a problem with a tux, all black etc... What I do have a problem with are COSTUMES! When someone asked me to play for a band, I said "ok, but I have on stipulation, NO COSTUMES" - they said "are you serious"? I said yes. This band will try and dress you up like Gilligan's island and crap like that. I'm sorry, I can't take that.
  6. Paul, please tell us, the keyboard feel is not that bad right? People posting all kinds of negative things about the TP/100LR but when I played it, it wasn't as bad as people make it out to be.
  7. I just want Yamaha to stop making really "deep" (front to back) keyboards. Bring it back to the CS6X size and pack it full of power!!!! I really liked my CS6X but the keyboard (keybed) was horrible!!!!!
  8. I think I remember the person telling me the same thing. That seems strange that it would happen but you can scale the velocity. Ask studiologic, see what they say.
  9. I've read this. I tried one and I just couldn't get over the UI. It was very limiting for jumping quickly between programs. But the feel was OK to me. Maybe see if they have a firmware update.
  10. oh I found this... looks like the answer! Onstage Deluxe Keyboard Tier
  11. I wonder if this would work? Onstage Keyboard Accessory tray
  12. Thank you. I was thinking something funky like 2 blocks of wood with velcro on then. When I need to use the Rise live, I can velcro them to the bottom and then put them on the stand. I guess the wood might be around 3 feet in length. I could paint it black and also use them as sticks to protect myself should any crazy person come on stage! LOL
  13. I have a ROLI Seaboard Rise 25 and I have an X Stand. Anyone have any ideas on how to mount this over my RD-88 or any other keyboard I have? It's so short width wise. Maybe get a plastic or wood panel to put on the 2nd Tier? Anyone have one??? How are you putting it on a stand? (I know you guys hate X Stands, but they are fast to setup/break down)
  14. Great, so go Mojo out to Poly D in, then Poly D thru to Pro 1 in. Done. Wish my Sequential Pro One had MIDI in!
  15. My work-around (and it's not as good) is any controller keyboard with MIDI out->Mac mini running MainStage and the "screen" is an iPad running VNC. I have not tried my RD-88 to the Mac mini yet. The polyphony on the Mac mini is really great and the latency seems fine.
  16. OK at the risk of stating the obvious, your Mojo 61 can go into the Poly D, and then use the MIDI Thru to go to the next keyboard. BUT I took a look at the Behringer Pro 1 and unless I am mistaken, it has a MIDI out only - so this would be a problem. If the second keyboard has a MIDI in, then you go Mojo 61 MIDI out-> MIDI in Poly D then MIDI Thru from Poly D to the MIDI in of the next keyboard.
  17. That was the first thing George Cables taught me! And Yes!!!!
  18. For the people that have the RD-88 does your rhythm selection get saved with the scene? It's bizarre for me. I mainly use the metronome, but one time I saved another type of pop rhythm as a test. It never recalled. I did another test on another scene and it was not recalled. Then I booted up the RD-88 and all of a sudden it was set to the pop rhythm which I never use. But pressing other scenes did not recall any other patterns. Strangely enough, the TEMPO of the patterns were memorized???? This is strange to me. Why save tempos, but not the rhythm selection? Maybe a bug?
  19. WOW! I forgot my KX5 had breath control! Mine is in perfect condition, if I can find it! LOL And yes, I have two CS-01 - and they are fragile. Now I'm trying to find my Yamaha MCS2.
  20. I'm not sure but I noticed that even with the same action, a lighter frame seems to make the action feel not as "solid". However with my RD-88, it was sliding all over my stand because of the plastic. I put adhesive rubber strips and it made a huge difference.
  21. Is the RD-88 similar to the Korg RH3? Which one feels heavier to play?
  22. I did try that years ago. The plastic is not conducive to mounting things on it. I tried to disassemble the breath controller and mount it in something else, but that was decades ago. Now I just want to buy one that won't break easily.
  23. We need a "shell" controller keyboard. On the top is a display, inside is a place to mount a Mac mini. The controller keyboard is also a MIDI and audio interface.
