I think all keyboards/pianos, etc. would benefit from waterfall keys. The piano keys would have to be slightly longer to compensate for the missing lip, but that's not a big deal. There's no reason in the world why any controller keyboard shouldn't have a waterfall keyboard these days. None.

WD-40 is a good glue remover.

Just stumbled upon this new Leslie sim. https://brotherofmars.com/audio-plugins/ Comes in two graphical versions: - with spinning animation - with fixed GUI Currently available in VST3 format on Windows 64bit (including Windows 7) A MacOS version is in the making and should hopefully be released soon. A fully functional demo can be downloaded from the website. The price of a license is currently £17.

Did Sheldon Cooper post that?

No....That's exactly what you don't want in your bottom end. Does not sound good at all. You want to retain the meaty clarity of the bass while adding growl and sizzle. A lot of distortion/overdrive pedals will turn the low end of an organ into mush. I bought an Organ Grinder pedal because it was supposed to eliminate that issue, and it does exactly that. Big difference.

Plant doesn't want to sing that song anymore.

Sounds like an interesting pedal to try on organ alright. Relatively new. I use an Organ Grinder pedal in front of a Vent for my clonewheel which will give some added sizzle you won't get from just the Vent alone. (I like a fairly raunchy organ tone.) The Organ Grinder will take the distortion over the top into the extreme if you crank it too much. It would be nice to hear a comparison between the Mo Bass and Organ Grinder. I have a SanAmp Programmable Bass Driver DI pedal which I've added in front of the Organ Grinder/Vent. You can save three presets onto the three stomp buttons. By making small adjustments to the SanAmp's presets, (level/eq/etc.) you get 3 different overdrive/tone settings available to switch between. I don't have to manually adjust the Organ Grinder output to compensate when increasing/decreasing the overdrive. Would be nice to have one pedal to do all that, but it works fine. Don't need to manually adjust any of them once it's setup and offers more tonal flexibility when combined with different EQ/drive/level settings on the clonewheel itself. Lot's of variations available. There's other ways to do it, but it's what I had on hand to experiment with.

Yes, the History Channel has turned into somewhat of a joke over the years. I think at the very least a new name for it that would better describe their current programming trends is in order.

Seems to me UFOs (UAPs), bigfoot, paranormal activity, Skinwalker Ranch, Ancient Aliens, etc. etc. has been an ever growing hot topic for the masses the last few years on TV. Look no further than the History Channel. I used to believe a lot of that stuff as a kid way back when, but I can't say I buy into any of it these days, although part of me kinda wishes UFOs do exist in some form. Might be just what the messed up human race needs to get our collective sh*t together if someone pays us a visit and attempts contact. (Although, if there's no profit in it, it's unlikely anything will change around here.)

He used a Yamaha CP-30 electric piano and a Korg Mini-Korg 700 mono synth on that album. For the note that slides down, that would've been done using portamento on the Korg. Once you set up the proper glide time, you will need to hit a high note before the song starts, so that when you hit a low note to trigger the portamento, it will work. (Used to do that all the time.) Another way to do it is to program a separate patch using a pitch envelope so that any note you hit will glide down when played. don't think your keyboards have a pitch envelope. Those boards are primarily preset machines with limited tone editing parameters compared to some other synths. You could just use the pitch wheel set to -12 or -24 (whatever sounds right) and do it manually.

I think my ironing board is more stable than that stand.

I keep passwords on a spreadsheet on a couple of different computers. It's primarily for all the software companies I've purchased from over the years. I don't keep sensitive info (like bank account access, etc) on that list. Works for me.

I've always used Craigslist for buying/selling used gear. If I'm selling I always stipulate "cash only" in my ad. I've never had any issues with people on Craigslist. (at least here where I live.) You might get the odd low baller from time to time, but those types are easy enough to ignore. If someone is genuinely interested in buying, they'll show up with cash in hand.

Most, if not all virtual instrument software with sample libraries will present an option when installing to choose where you want your sample content saved. Select the drive, folder, etc. where you want it saved when it asks and you're done. Don't change the location after the fact once you've done that, otherwise chances are it won't find it.

Turns out my C drive (OS and programs) and my E drive (sample libraries) died at the same moment. What are the chances of that? I got my C drive data recovered now and copied to a new SS drive. My E drive with all my sample libraries is still in limbo as to whether the data will be recoverable. I'd rather pay to have it recovered if that's a possibility as opposed to having to reload a ton of stuff that would be a huge pain in the butt. Thankfully my D drive is fine which has a wealth of project files on it. So...New drives all around + spare SS drives with disk images of everything. Fingers crossed that I won't have to reload everything if my E drive sample libraries are toast.

Well....John Bonham got the job done on this. Nobody complained. 😁😄

I will be, but not by choice. My DAW died yesterday. Trying to finish up an album project, and now that's ground to an abrupt halt. Hopefully it's just the C drive and not something more serious like a motherboard failure. Fingers crossed. Figures it happens now when there's no way to get it fixed right away. Humbug!!

A little bit of double sided tape will keep it from moving.

I had a CP30 in the early 80's (Brand new...it was a birthday present.) I had just moved into an apartment and was missing the acoustic piano at my parents house. Only kept it for a year or so until I bought a house. My parents gave me their acoustic piano, as I was the only one that ever played it. The CP30 was not inspiring at all. Noisy, hissy, heavy and quite dull. The built in case, stand and large flat top were nice features, but that was about it. It's not something I would have purchased if left up to me.

I think it's still useful when edited and transformed into something new. It's been so over used that you pretty much have to take it somewhere else.

Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused Nazareth - This Flight Tonight Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower Joe Cocker - With a Little Help From My Friends (for me at least) The Beatles - Twist and Shout It's a long list, but I'll stop there.

There's nothing I need or want in hardware these days. I took advantage of the recent high prices and sold six synths I decided I could live without. Still have ten left which I'll hang on to. These days I'm pretty much just buying the odd software for my DAW. If I get the urge for a new toy, I'll go the craigslist route.

I can honestly say I have no regrets over any keyboard gear I've ever bought over the last 40 some years. I did regret buying a Hammond C3 as a teen because it was murder dragging it to gigs. I sold it after a year or so for quite a bit more than what I paid and got something more gig friendly, so it was all good in the end. Some synths I bought over the years didn't get much use compared to others I had, but because I bought them used and sold all of them for a lot more than I paid, I have no regrets there either. I did regret buying two ADATs though. I bought one after the price dropped considerably and 2nd one I bought used. They served a purpose for a couple of album projects, but those things were tape eating, buzz killing hounds from hell and I was glad to finally get rid of them once computers could do the job.

In a Gadda Da Vida in 1968 may have planted a seed or two as "somewhat" of an early prog prototype. Psychedelic blues based rock for the most part but with some "Bach-ish" overtones from the organ here and there. It was also the first rock song released to my knowledge that took up an entire side of an LP.
