Update on Webb telescope -- it's almost in position and everything going according to plan so far Webb update

I too have found this forum to be a fantastic example of how beneficial it is for people to focus on what they have in common, rather than on their differences. Society overall can learn a lot from this.

If I'm understanding you correctly, forScore might be a good option for you. I have it and like using it very much. You can bring in scanned scores or any other pdf (say lyrics and chords type charts). And it allows you to add notes and notations on the screen with an Apple pen.

In an interview (on 60 Minutes, iirc), one of the engineers said that the team incorporated some potential solutions if something should fail to open. They can perform maneuvers that shakes the telescope or spins it clockwise or counterclockwise. Basically, the only ways to slap it on the side in deep space.

I experienced exactly the same situation with my PC4, and then all of a sudden it was in, a few weeks earlier than the latest date they had given me. Apparently the dates are given to GC by Kurzweil. The thing that kept me holding on, besides liking this keyboard, was that I was told that I was on the list for one of the units in the next scheduled shipment, not on some extended waiting list.

I"ve had some problems connecting too, which is, of course, only a very minor inconvenience. Somewhat more of a bummer is that, even though it doesn"t connect on my end, it marks everything as 'read,' forcing me to scroll through the threads to find the new posts when I am finally able to connect.

Starting with one of the more recent iOS updates, iPhone has a feature called "silence unknown callers." Calls from unknown numbers do not ring, but do go to voicemail. The phone rings if anyone on your contacts list calls. It works well, and anyone that is legitimately trying to contact you will leave a voicemail, while most robot callers do not.

Yeah, there are definitely some huge advantages to buying musical instruments from brick-and-mortar companies. I once ordered a keyboard that was supposed to be shipped directly to GC but it got lost along the way. The shipping company suspected foul play and contacted me as they were trying to find where to assign blame. Once I told them (and they confirmed) that the shipment was never supposed to come directly to me, they were able to immediately move on...

60 Minutes recently had a really nice interview with the filmmaker, Peter Jackson, regarding this new Beatles film... Peter Jackson on 60 Minutes

A relatively new video consisting of almost all playing ... [video:youtube]

I did a little research to try to find a gig bag for my PC4-7 (though the manufacturers" websites often make it impossible to determine the inner dimensions, outer dimensions and/or weight of their cases!). I ended up finding and buying the Kaces 'Luxe Series Keyboard Bag, 61/76 Key' (KB4715). It cost me only a little over $100. KB4715 The case's interior dimensions are listed as: 47" x 15" x 5.5' The PC4-7 is listed as 46.54â³ x 14.07â³ x 4.24â³ I just received the case and it"s a really nice fit for the keyboard. The interior straps are not ideally placed for the PC4-7. The one on the right works well, but the one on the left lays across the control section (with the sliders). The case looks pretty nice and has some foam padding for minor bumps. There is roughly an extra inch in height and I might put some extra foam on top of the keyboard for added protection of the controls. I weighed the case and it came in at only about 4.5 lbs. Looks like it"ll work out well!

MMM - Do parameters in the Purgatory Creek Rhodes MKII map pretty well to the PC4's controls? haha, NOTHING maps very well to the PC4 controllers without a lot of work As they are out of the box, you get control over reverb, chorus, phaser, distortion, and key-off. Both slider and button (button just turns it on or off, slider controls the amount). So they do more or less. OK, thanks, sounds like a good start anyway...
