Dream Controller: Dual Controller with . . .

[Garth Henderson]

This is my dream gigging and studio keyboard. I don't know why it isn't available. Let me know what you think - maybe we can encourage someone to make it.

 

2 keyboards in one unit.

Total Weight: 29 pounds max. 44" X 15" X 7"

 

Top keyboard is like Roland PCR-800 (good feel for synth and solid controllers with 61 keys)

Bottom keyboard is 76 key weighted piano controller with good feel - but must be light. Similar to the Yamaha P85 @ 25 lbs.

 

Of course, the controllers would work for both keyboards.

 

I'd use a Muse or quad laptop for sounds and a loud killer stereo amp like the MotionSound KP-500SN.

 

I want to make one trip from my car and set up in 3 minutes.

I want Carmen Electra, Angelina Jolie and Jenny McCarthy to alternately smother me in vanilla ice cream and hot fudge and lick me clean while wearing nothing but Crocs, but I dont see that happening in the near future either.

[Tonysounds]

Of course I meant that THEY would be wearing nothing but the Crocs (not me); I dont want you guys thinking Im some kind of perv.

[Joe Muscara]

Tony, come on! You're making me sick. I can't stand Crocs.

Get a roadie.

 

Frankly, as much as your dream controller is a dream controller for you, I have no desire to have to jam a double-height and deeper keyboard into my car, thanks just the same.

 

Also, when/if the top controller breaks a key, I don't want to have to give up my entire rig for service, thanks just the same.

 

Oh, and I don't want synth action on the top, I want waterfall action... thanks just the same.

 

(perhaps you've seen a glimpse as to some reasons why your dream controller isn't on the market... )

So you've got a jones for silicon, closed cell resin and other manufactured enhancements?

Not quite what you want, but Yamaha has the D-Deck. It's a combo organ/arranger. It's lightweight (40lbs). However,the sound engine is not motif quality. Inquire at a Yamaha dealer to see if it's available in the US.

Jenny, Angie and Carmen are not Siloconed....Jenny and Angie for sure are natural....don't ruin it for me!

[timwat]

Well, who am I to ruin someone else's fantasy?

 

Although if I were I betting man, I think the spread on Garth's dream controller being made are shorter odds.

 

 

 

[Tonysounds]

Neither one of those things is going to happen.

 

It's called a sense of humor....look into it!
