As you may be able to see from my profile pix, I'm still using a QS8.1 as my Mainstage controller, but haven't used the internal sounds in years. I have a second one in a closet in need of some repair, and a pristine QS6.1 right next to it. Between playing two QS8's and a Generalmusic Pro 2 piano (in another closet) over the last couple of decades, the Fatar TP/20 action is second nature for me. (I wish I could find the equivalent in a new instrument.) I also loved that robust synth action on that QS6, hard to find that quality in a present-day 61.

To sum up, the basic programs of T-Racks and Amplitude are free.
Can you point me to a link for that (Mac version)? I don't see either of those for free.
Thanks.

I find that Studiologic have a very interesting product line-up (including SL-series controllers, Sledge, Numa Organ, Compact 2x etc.) and I would welcome the chance to discuss with a Studiologic representative.
Funny you say that. Not too long ago, in an effort to find somewhere that I could try a SL88 Grand controller, I was routed from 1. Gianni > 2. Bryan Pistone, General Manager, Studiologic USA > and finally 3. Mark Towles, Northeast Sales Manager, American Music & Sound, who I spoke to on the phone. Incredibly, although I live less than an hour from NYC, he was unable to suggest a single place where I could try one. I replied that it seemed my only option was to buy from someone online and return it if not satisfied. He seemed to agree. I found this depressing.

No percussion volume select, I see. Maybe you can go in and edit a preset. At any rate, this seems like a fun little board.

It is not standalone. It is a module that runs in either Amplitude or T-Racks.
Damn, I guess I'll pass. That makes the cost 3 times what I paid for the VB3 I'd use it on.

Do you need to have Amplitube installed to run this, or, is it a "standalone" effect VST that doesn't require anything else to be installed? It wasn't clear from the website description.
Thank you.
Did anyone answer this question, perhaps I missed it?

A 29.99 Behringer USB audio interface, it arrives today. No more pulling my Mainstage rig through the headphone jack, lol. (Although, for over 10 years and three laptops, that has always work just fine for me.)

I have a stand similar to this one: QL-642
One day I realized I could eliminate a connecting bar and screw 'wheel' from the second tier brackets and lower that board right down to the bottom keyboard. I was a happy camper.

Your go to youtube to mp3 converter, revisited.

This seems to be a moveable line in the sand.
I've used these converters, nearly always in a situation where I am learning a tune that I don't have, usually to prep for a gig with someone. Even if I do have the recording somewhere, it's usually just easier to grab again when my rig is a laptop, Mainstage and controllers, instead of trying to find it. Then I'll open in a slowdowner if I need to, or loop it in QuickTime. Am I really guilty of something? Sometimes I only need to play the Youtube a couple of times and I'm good to go. Innocent of wrongdoing then? Some time ago, I used a converter to grab the 'hellhound' howls at the beginning of Deep Purple's "Hush" to create a sample. Guilty? Where did THEY get that soundbyte from, for that matter?
I'm not building a music library for myself on the cheap. I can live with myself having committed these transgressions, and there'll be no deathbed requests for absolution.
