Dick Ward MP Hall of Fame Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I think I'm gonna be getting some run-off 14 year old girl fans from our good friend Justin Timberlake. Someone cool, err.... popular is using a keytar!

RABid Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hmmm. Do we need a separate Keytar forum? Somewhere for the "cool" people to hang? Robert This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Ward MP Hall of Fame Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Long time no see, Mr. Ward! How the hell have you been? Long story, but doing very well at the moment! Glad to be back. I've missed the ol' forum! Ooh, and I think I have something that'll be ready for comp 13 if the free form frenzy isn't full. Hmmm. Do we need a separate Keytar forum? Somewhere for the "cool" people to hang? Yes.

Tonysounds Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 He's been lurking, but apparently the ZEN KEYTAR (whatever it's called) has lured Mr. Ward out of hiding!!!!! STONEHENGE!!!!!!

King Julien Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 After watching that I think I may have to stop using my SH-101 w mod grip. I feel very queasy. (I'm sure there must be a smiley for that) I like to move it, move it (except The Wurly which can be a bit temperamental and the 122 for obvious reasons) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mate stubb Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Wasn't Dick Ward Batman's sidekick back in the 1960's? Sorry, that wat Burt Ward. Now, who is Dick Ward again? I did a gig with Burt Ward once. We were the first band in a new club, and did a 2 week stint with Burt as the MC. We would bring him out on stage a couple times a night playing the Batman theme but chanting "Burt Ward" instead of "Bat - man". It must have been hell for him after awhile LOL.

Don't worry, I've got a whole load of new questions. Most which have an answer of 'take some lessons, idiot'. Should be fun!

MHz Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 ok, batteries for power, but where are those midi cables? How do you make it wireless? Rhodes MarkI Stage, Nord Stage 2 73SW, Moog SUB37, Elektron Analog Keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Ward MP Hall of Fame Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Well, I play wired but there's plenty of wireless MIDI adapters. Like The MidAir Here's my question.. Why a wireless keyboard that needs to sit on a frigging stand anyway, and why not a keytar with a decent keybed? Jerks!

synthdogg Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Anybody ever notice that R&B guys always look cooler with keytars than rock guys? I mean, Jimmy Jam actually looked hip in those old Janet Jackson videos. Maybe it's because they don't look as much like they're trying to be guitarists....I don't know. Errr....Rock on Justin.

zephonic Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I think R&B guys generally look cooler.

I mean, Jimmy Jam actually looked hip in those old Janet Jackson videos. Maybe it's because they don't look as much like they're trying to be guitarists....I don't know. 1) Jimmy Jam is one bad-ass mofo, no matter what he's doing... 2) Doing anything within 100' of Janet Jackson instantly makes you look that much better... 3) Most "rock guys" tend to make those goofy faces that we used to make playing air guitar in front of the mirror at age 12... 4) R&B guys aren't trying to 'shred' on their keytars, they're usually doing chord solos, big brass stab sorts of things, and are using a keytar to be able to join in the choreographed moves that the rest of the band is doing (with the exception of the drummer, of course)... so there's less "look at me, I'm just like a guitarist" vibe and more "check out these dance steps, baby!" 5) Speaking in grand generalizations like "R&B guys" and "rock guys" is usually a pretty silly thing to do... Ahem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Landrum Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Hey, Dick! Long time, no see. I haven't been around the forum at all in the past couple of months, either. I personally have nothing against keytars. I guess I'm just a bit too young to remember them the first time, or for them to make an impression on me, good or bad. The cheesiness of the video you posted has little to do with the keytar itself, and everything to do with Justin. Darren Landrum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
