johnchop Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Don't forget the pitch stick, pitch bend wheel, mod wheel, touch screen, cupholder, D-beam, and music stand. Hope it has poly aftertouch and ivory-feel keys. And make it red. I make software noises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throbert Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Want a touch screen plug it into an Ipad it has as many ports as you need. It has a pitch stick, but if you want wheels just switch or add. The Stand has Small triangular rigging style support with a honey comb top. Very modular system just use your paint program to set it up how you want.

Theo Verelst Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Like, you mean electronicists could prototype a lot of machine kinds together in a short while when given enough incentive or money? I suppose that's true. Designers of synths from Moog to Korg and from Smith to Kurzweil of course also like to think their machines look like, well, Escort GTI (does that even exist ?) or Mercedes 190S or maybe a Rolls Royce ?

Throbert Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Ive said it before desgin them to be put to gether like computers. Pick your case relative to the keybed, controls and screen you want. Starting from 61 keys thats about, 6 different cases, one for minimal to moderate and one from moderate to full of everything whats not used has a blank cover. theres no reason they cant be designed and built that way. thats just an image. considerations are psb layouts modular design and interconnect on backpanel slots. When considering encodera they could do singular devices and stack them by strip or quadrant, sticks and wheels could bee switchd one for the other. upgrades, upgrades, upgrades, Naa theyll never make any such board. What I read in all the forums of all the needs and NAMM rolls up, It all fell on deaf ears.

Throbert Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 it's a prototype image. Maybe that's what we should do in our spare time, come up with images of what we think would be a dream keyboard. Make it a sticky, maybe someone with money to burn will invest in one.

Sundown Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 theres no reason they cant be designed and built that way. It's manufacturing and design complexity... And inventory. I'd love to see a modular approach to keyboards, but unless a manufacturer did all their boards that way (and could share components across models in high volume), they would never overcome the cost.

Ken Beaumont Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Actually its really not that bad of an idea. There is no reason a company couldn't make their entire line modular. This would allow them to create several base key beds and sell you the modules. If the key beds were quality and several configurations available it would allow them not to have to create a 61, 76, 88 board. A PC3K8 is about $3500 all at once I might not be able to jusify the expense. But by adding modules to a 88 digital piano at initially $1200 then organ ($1k),VA Synth ($1k),Sampler/seqencer($900) I have the same board but paid $4100. Sounds high but maybe I don't want organ? Or maybe as my needs grow, the board grows too! We have many smaller examples: CME allows you to install a use audio plugiator card LINK Or a waldorf nano syn card. A radias can be installed in a M3: Image Link (Big) Boards: Kurzweil SP-6, Roland FA-08, VR-09, DeepMind 12 Modules: Korg Radias, Roland D-05, Bk7-m & Sonic Cell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throbert Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 I think it should also be considered as a controller. Maybe you don't need any sound module in it, you already have plenty and just need a quality high end controller for it all.. There would need to be access to this companies products so you could determine which keybed you like the most aswell as the optional controllers. this in turn gives the company good feedback on what peoples likes and dislikes are and what they need to concentrate their R&D on. FATAR is A company that makes keybeds for alot of the instruments in use today but they are a PITA to deal with, there is no variety of stock on hand in the USA. You have to find the board you like then try and get in touch with them to ask which model is in that system. Youd be lucky to get an answer. Dont say Doepfer, they only have a limited selection.

Ken Beaumont Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Yes, just want to control ivory? It would have a usb and standard midi interface on just the keyboard. Want bunches of knobs sliders, pads for your DAW but no sounds? Add a controls module! What would be cool is if you owned 2 of the keyboards you could quickly put the module in a 61 key for practice. Then put them in a full blown 88 at the gig. Its all wishful thinking but I really would like to see some really innovative ideas come from the big guys.

Throbert Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 What you would need is something like the remote 0, but again a customizable unit. Then you could get your boards with the minamal to moderate cases and just cover all the option bays with blanks. Or another solution would be that the control unit slips into the the main bay and the top side on the back would have all your IO. Or another option would be the control unit slips into the main bay and seats into a pc style slot and the board has all the IO. another interesting thing is you could have your main board in a moderate to extreme case with nothing and then you could just sit your synth, or waterfall board on top containing all your controls like hammond does when you want to set up xk into a dual manual setup.
