I think having that many instruments is a little much. Maybe they could"ve stripped it down to 2 keyboards, 2 guitars, bass, and drums? Surely 2 keyboardists could cover those sounds with the right gear.
In this particular act, the instrumentation is the act. It"s what sets them apart from other Beatles covers acts the most.
And as we all know...

A cameo from Paul and Ringo would put their show through the roof!

Lightweight is where it"s at. Gotta get to the cocktail hour quickly in one trip on a warm summer day while wearing a suit and without sweating.

I really like the trend of hiding the digital stuff we play in vintage looking stands. To look like an acoustic or electro mechanical.
But my back ain"t about to carry it.
The Crumar Seven is nice and neat looking as is.
And the CRUMAR facing audience is aesthetically low key compared to the Korg Grandstage"s KORG that lights up and changes color.

I understand that typically no, a bride is not going to interrupt her special day to comment on the color of a keyboard. But in a business appearances are important. The strong suggestion of uniformity in attire and look of band typically comes from band leader and/or agency - and obviously depending what market you"re in and how competitive it is - these guys look for selling points. When we shoot promotional video everyone follows attire, setting and lighting are carefully set, all branding on instruments is gaffed over. And when we arrive at the party we bring what we sold them, and often agency will bring a bride to see the group at a showcase or wedding in progress. I personally wouldn"t show up to a woman"s wedding ceremony with a bright red keyboard, or allow a big advertisement for YAMAHA or KORG to be in the photos and video. But that"s just me. Obviously the OP had a similar inclination. But ya, I see from posts above everyone feels differently about this. No big deal. It"s minutia in the grand scheme of things.
-
Yes. No bide really wants anything that detracts from her and her color choices for the wedding.
That"s why we use black keyboards. And often use gaffers tape to cover the big Korg and Yamaha branding.

An homage to George Martin?
Without a doubt, Martin is a Beatle.

Haven"t noticed these Dutchmen before - but they do a heck of a job getting the right instruments, arrangements and players to cover album versions of Beatles tunes live. They"re touring right now apparently doing the White album in full. They all sing, there"s a harp, string section, horns, Hammond, Rhodes, Harpsichord, upright piano, recorder, and what for.

Saturday is the 42nd anniversary of the July 13-14, 1977 New York City blackout, which took out power to most of the city, resulted in widespread civil disturbances and looting, and helped usher in an era of noxious tough on crime politics. Another blackout struck NYC today, though this one appears to be restricted to parts of Manhattan and the primary concern appears to be rescuing people trapped in elevators.

Thanks for sharing. Missed this.

Ya. I was saying. You can ditch the floppy drive on the MC-500. There are USB port drive emulators. Save/load your sequences on a thumb drive. They work on Akai samplers too. Awesome.
THESE work in almost everything,-
even in a old
... (which I still own in original working condition).A.C.
Love these kinds of mods keeping gear useful and relevant and out of the junkyard.

They say you can swap out the 3.5 disc drive for a USB port emulator.

First I'm hearing it. Fantastic. Could pick at these ideas for hours on end.

Interesting.
It is a hiss and not a hum.
It is in the frequency range that is normal for most systems.
But typically you dont hear it when running the system at typical listening levels.
Often this noise rears its head when the system is set to full gain.
Often at this volume level other electrical noise becomes noticeable as well - amplified by the amplifier.
Does it matter wether an instrument is connected or not to the SonicBar?
Does connecting the headphone jack kill the signal to speakers?
Does the noise appear in the headphones at healthy listening levels or when cranking the headphone amp?
Are you using a quality pair of headphones capable of reproducing 20htz to 20khtz?

Generally speaking the internal audio card on any MacBook that I have owned over the years has been sufficient. But you can definitely get better low latency performance with the added bonus of pro grade connectors from many USB and Thunderbolt interfaces. Keep in mind that you can kick out the 3.5mm audio cable, yank the MacBook with it, and damage the jack and or cable in the process too. But you are right, MainStage shouldnt flinch with the removal of a 3.5mm cable. With removal of interface on OSX you should get a message that the assigned audio interface is no longer available - I havent purposefully yanked out a USB or Thunderbolt interface lately so I am not sure what may fail - but it should not require a reboot of the computer.
I like the internal card because its one less box, one less cable to carry and setup - but I wind up bringing a direct box with a 3.5mm input and 1/4 out to my monitor anyway. An interface would replace the direct box if I select wisely.

If you are mainly using Keyscape/Omnisphere and other third party AUs consider:

I think Vintage Vibe asks $5999.99 for a Vibanet.

Not ruining the second hand market for clavs with that pricing.
