Sold my CK61 and got a MODX7+

Age 52. Nord Stage 4 73 HA + Yamaha CK61, MacBook Air M1, MainStage, all sounds come from both keyboards, no VSTs for gigging, Yamaha FC-7… DI boxes, etc… Planning to replace the CK61 (MODX6?)

Nord Stage 4 73 Hammer Action

Absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing this!

Same Mac M1 8GB Logic 11 (Sonoma) and I have no lag since I enable “low latency” under the record tab. I also go to project management and delete all the unused recordings….

I’ve been checking the new bass session player and it sounds pretty convincing for me.

I paid 39,99€ (plus taxes: 48,39€) on January the 1st for the Mac OS version.

Not a software bug, but the keyboard aftertouch in the 88 or 73 Hammer Action is barely usable.

I’m using this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTCXK3C2?ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_dp_VQTEHQ462AAXYFH7RD8V&language=es-US No latency at all 👌

My vote goes for the CK61. I also had a Kross 2 and got rid of it.

Soundcraft Notepad 12FX any good?

A friend from Argentina proposed to me to do a rework of a song by a group I had never heard of. Soda Stereo is very famous in Argentina and Latin America but not, I'm afraid, in the rest of the world. The fun part is that he told me not to listen to the original track (only the acapella file he sent me) to avoid any influence… so this is what I did. https://on.soundcloud.com/RsEZ6FkHX6fxY3Ni7

Thanks for the feedback. Yes you are right, my synths doesn’t have drums (only stage keyboards) so I must leave that to my laptop… BTW, where you able to convince your new band to play sax for Careless Whispers for the upcoming gig? I’m still deciding between Gig Performer and Camelot Pro. any tip on that? Regards.

I'm in the same boat as you... haven't played live for years and I've been requested to join a new band (mainly 80's covers), but we don't have any drummer or bass player: just me with keyboards, guitar player and lead vocalist, and two back vocalist. So the tricky part is they want me to play piano/synths, some bass with left hand and of course to trigger the drum parts and some time pre-recorded backing vocals for more complex songs. I've been checking Camelot Pro and Gig Performer. Almost all the live sounds will come from my NS4 and CK61, maybe the BX-3 as a VST. I don't want to overload my MacBook Air M1 with only 8GB of RAM; the program will basically handle changing presets for both keyboards and triggering pre-recorded percussion, bass in some songs and chorus tracks. Any good advice on this? Thanks in advance.
