CrossRhodes

I took a few bass lessons from Nick Campbell. He’s got groove for days.

Wow, what a small world! I did some filming of Nick and his wife in their band Volt Per Octaves some 15 odd years ago. Really nice folks with some cool tunes. Good to see him involved with the Rhodes gang.

I saw Scary Goldings here in L.A. with Scofield sitting in and Will Lee on bass. Killer show! Love how Conte and crew have zero ego when they hit the stage and happily support the older guard like Goldings and Scofield while at the same time giving them the platform to connect with a younger and more diverse audience then some of their other projects might allow. Nothing but respect for those guys.

For only $13,945 you too can save the planet!

Nice to hear so many different opinions. I actually started some photoshop mock ups of how all that empty space on the left could be used but didn't want to start bashing Arturia. Some initial thoughts were great spot for a tv dinner if the bar doesn't give you free food, a whiskey flight to keep you and your bandmates happy, a joint rolling station if your state permits that sort of thing, etc. I suppose your idea to put an iPad there is more productive though. Look forward to hearing your review once you finally have one in your set up!

Look three posts up. 😄

First review from the field that I've seen.

I think the message would have more impact if they were committing to this partnership on all of their models moving forward. Otherwise just feels like a publicity stunt. I'm with you all that it's a fine looking instrument though. Hope it does well for them.

I want to like it, I really do but all I can see is that tiny screen and big empty space where drawbars and other controls could've been added. Looking forward to some real world reviews after people have been gigging with it a while.

Can't wait to watch this, thanks!

At least they have a sense of humor about all of the Nest jokes. 😁

What’s with all the empty real estate to the left of the thermostat wheel? Are the brains under there so no room for additional sliders/controls etc? Just seems odd to ship all these great synths with so many controllable parameters and then have so few controls at the ready.

All of the D keys on my MKII 61 turned yellow. Maybe they’re officially announcing this as a cool “retro” feature in the MKIII?

Hadn’t seen this before, very cool!

First heard Casey Benjamin with the Robert Glasper Experiment and have enjoyed much of his music over the years. Way too young to pass with so much more music to be made. RIP to another talent gone. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/casey-benjamin-saxophone-keys-player-robert-glasper-dead-1234997166/
