  1. Decent enough tune, but it's like watching Queen lip-syncing to a Head East song.
  2. Meatloaf & Mashed Potatoes Mac & Cheese Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soap Turkey Sandwich the day after Thanksgiving. Tuna Noodle Casserole
  3. I would rather see this performance or the Van Hagar version where Ed is on keys and Sammy is on guitar than any version with Ed playing guitar with a keyboard backing track. This would not include any performances were there was a "hidden" keyboard player.
  4. Love it or hate it. Ed and Mike both playing keys in 1984..... Start at 42:29.
  5. Explains the previous price drop on the Nautilus. https://www.gearnews.com/korg-nautilus-at-now-with-added-aftertouch/
  6. Crafted a narrow shelf to sit on the leg braces of the stand to get the combination plug-strip/USB hub and direct box off the ground.
  7. So you can register your MODX+ on the Yamaha website....
  8. 2 Shallow depth racks (~11" deep) 2 Unit: Power supply w/9 individually switched outlets AR-1215 Voltage Regulator 3 Unit: XR18 mixer w/separate wireless router velcroed to inside
  9. I'm guessing that this might be why the MODX7 over MODX8 thread never showed up?
  10. I used to play in a blues/swing band(bass) and we did a number we called "Spy Medley" where we segued Peter Gunn, Hawaii 50 and James Bond themes. We always wanted to add a fourth song and some of the top contenders were SWAT and Bat-Man.
  11. I use a couple of these: Denon-100ps Plugged into one of these: Furman AR-1215 2164.pdf
  12. I certainly do not consider myself a power user and I don't use a full-fleged DAW, but just a plug-in host. Rig consists of: Hardware: Yamaha MODX 7, Studiologic Numa Compact 2x, Casio PX-S3000, Behringer XR18 and a MIDI Expression Quatro. Software: Cantabile (plug-in host), Assorted VSTs. X-Air Edit (Behringer XR18 control) All three keyboards and the Quatro use USB for MIDI communication. The MODX is the only synth that is using internal sounds. The Casio and Numa are used solely as controllers. The Behringer can be used as an 18 x 18 audio interface. Using Cantabile, I can route each VST instrument to it's own seperate output on the mixer and control level via the X-Air Edit app. The Quatro connects up to four expression pedals via a single USB and then using Cantabile route to the various keyboards/plug-ins as needed. The MODX is the only keyboard that I take an actual audio signal from and route that to two inputs of the Behringer. I'm guessing that if I attempted to use ASIO4ALL, I could eliminate this connection, but I kind of prefer having it as a safety net. Cool Stuff About This: Can actually route analog audio through VST plugs. For example: MODX organ preset through IK Multimedia Leslie. Various VST plug-ins levels can be controlled level-wise from the mixer app as if you were controlling faders on a mixer. Not So Cool Stuff: Reliance on a computer. Ground loop/Noise issues become a lot more complicated when they involve USB. Especially if the computer used is a laptop or utilizing a laptop chipset.
  13. I have a PX-S3000 and the only reason I hold on to it is I don't want to schelp a heavier weighted controller. MIDI functionality is limited in that you can't recall any of your own registrations via MIDI, which seems pretty basic and the Casio attitude regarding adding additional functionality via firmware just turned me off to the PX-SXXXX series. So Casio wins because I'm lazy. Absolutely unintrested in upgrading to the newer version.
  14. It's not "downloaded" in the typical sense. The performance data is sent to a "temporary" space on the MODX using the SYNC button. Once it is in this workspace you can make any changes you like and then save into one of your performance slots. As an additional note: Though I've never tried this myself, you can't share any performances that use samples not actually found in the base MODX.
  15. No UPS. But I do use a Furman AR-1215 which handles sags and spikes. Not worried about an outage and keeping running if venue power goes down. https://furmanpower.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ar-1215_datasheet.pdf
  16. No experience with Gig Performer or Camelot, and I get the annual subscription model tends to lead to the yearly "aww crap, I forgot about that". However, Brad's (the developer) involvement and listening to his users and their wants/needs to me is worth the price of admission. As an example, I wanted a way to export a text file a plug-in's parameters. Use case was I wanted to compare different syth vst plug in parameters of the the same model synth (OBXd, OPX-ProII, Arturia Matrix) to try and replicate sounds across them. I think it wasn't even a week later that he had incorporated that into a build. He did say that that wasn't a really difficult thing to do, but I'd only been a user for a couple of months. It was his willingness to listen to a "newbie" request that bought him a long-term customer.
  17. Jane Child / Don't Want to Fall In Love [video:youtube]
  18. Just out of curiousity, what stands are you using on the 3 tier stacks?
  19. Does that 'charge' port on the POW-R BAR 65 also pass data? (just for the iLok)? Nope. Just power.
