Analogaddict Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 A little update, I have the Receptor in my big rig now, controlled by a Novation SL61mkii. This replaces the Phatty seen to the left, I was using it for reference to replicate a few sounds. Nice! Just curious - what are you using to replace the LP? I had to remove my Voyager from a gig due to limited space, and sound wise I'm very happy with Monark..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanL Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'm using various things out of the Receptor. Minimonsta is the main Moog replacement, but I'm using Pro53 and various other softsynths right now. I mainly wanted to have a 2nd polysynth option that the Moog couldn't provide. String machine emulations, splits/layers, etc. Quote Live: Korg Kronos 2 88, Nord Electro 5d Nord Lead A1 Toys: Roland FA08, Novation Ultranova, Moog LP, Roland SP-404SX, Roland JX10,Emu MK6 www.bksband.com www.echoesrocks.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanL Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 justin, I really like the keybed. Nice aftertouch, semi weighted but still a fast synth action.

vonnor Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 New toy! Picked it up locally for a very good price. One of the ends was smashed, so I took both of them off and used cap-head machine screws and locking nuts to affix the ends, running them through from the outside in. I think it looks quite high-tech. Plus now it'll fit into the SKB-SC3212 that was in my attic. Love the sounds and it's very intuitive to program for an old Model-D guy like me. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m305/Koda_Vonnor/Misc/nova2_01.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m305/Koda_Vonnor/Misc/nova2_03.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m305/Koda_Vonnor/Misc/nova2_04.jpg ~ vonnor Quote Gear: Hardware: Nord Stage3, Korg Kronos 2, Novation Summit Software: Cantabile 3, Halion Sonic 3 and assorted VST plug-ins.

Tonysounds Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Here's the latest iteration of my gear and rig. http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad216/tonysounds/SK%20NS%20Sub.jpg Sk1-73, NordStage 2 88, Moog Sub 37 http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad216/tonysounds/SK%20NS%20Sub%20%20LIT%20Room.jpg Those boards go into this pedalboard; the Strymon is for the Moog; the Mini-Vent and the far left momentary switch are for the SK1. The momentary switch controls the MiniVent, or when using a real leslie, controls the leslie. It's a momentary switch, so it only goes "fast" while I'm stepping on it. I like the in-betweens. http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad216/tonysounds/Pedalboard.jpg The pedalboard feeds my Speakeasy Vintage Pre for the SK1/Leslie. http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad216/tonysounds/Tube%20pre.jpg The pedalboard also feeds my (super modest these days!) rack, which holds an original Motif rack, a 30 year old Roland M120 line mixer, and my snake, which connects my keyboards to the rack. The snake contains the cable for switching leslie speeds, as well as audio and midi cables, and an a connection for my onstage monitor (Yamaha DSR 12 or DXR 10). The rack has power for the Speakeasy pre as well. http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad216/tonysounds/Racl.jpg This rig offers a lot in terms of spontaneity and flexibility. http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad216/tonysounds/Stage%20Rig%20w%20leslie.jpg Quote Hitting "Play" does NOT constitute live performance. -Me.

Jasonbass32 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 This is my home studio set-up. Pretty happy with everything. Will 'upgrade' the Fantom X6 eventually. It is used solely as a controller. Tried the Kronos, wasn't for me. Thinking about maybe a PC3K6. We'll see what comes out this year. The Integra 7 pairs great with the Nord Stage IMO. The A49 controller has decent action for a simple midi controller. My old iPad2 has been relegated to Integra 7 editor/controller duty; the PC editor is terrible IMO. But the iPad editor is nice. Computer is a 2013 Mac Mini. It is actually racked in that 16 space rack just above the printer. Rack is called a 'Sonnet RackMac Mini'; overpriced but very cool. Superdrive is also in the rack. Primary software is Logic, MainStage, Komplete 10, and Halion Sonic. Omnisphere 2 is on my wish list but Alchemy being added to Apple has kept me pretty content so far. http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn33/jasonbass32/2015-12-20%2017.19.30_zpsrttxsop5.jpg http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn33/jasonbass32/2015-12-20%2017.18.52_zpsnzu90hhr.jpg http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn33/jasonbass32/2015-12-20%2017.17.53_zpsskbglfjc.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Havu Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Just got this as an early Christmas gift--a Hammond L111. Sounds great, just need to find a Leslie for it, which on my budget is going to be pretty difficult. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k193/justinhavu/IMG_20151221_1746192.jpg Quote Hardware Yamaha MODX7, DX7, PSR-530, SY77/Korg TR-Rack, 01/W Pro X, Trinity Pro X, Karma/Ensoniq ESQ-1, VFX-SD Behringer DeepMind12, Model D, Odyssey, 2600/Roland RD-1000/Arturia Keylab MKII 61 Software Studio One/V Collection 9/Korg Collection 4/Cherry Audio/UVI SonicPass/EW Composer Cloud/Omnisphere, Stylus RMX, Trilian/IK Total Studio 3.5 MAX/Roland Cloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I like the RD64 piano action a lot. And it surprises me again and again, how little I miss the two cropped octaves... just push the octave shift button if needed. It has the exact same width as the Uhl X-3. And you can put another keyboard directly on top. Very handy.

That UHL looks fantastic on top of the Roland. How are you finding the sounds? Considering picking one up to go with my VR-09. I just wish the RD came with more vintage looking sidepanels; I would kill for a 61 waterfall/61HP setup in a single retro box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonnor Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I finally got around to posting pix of my live setup. This was from last night's gig at a local sports bar. The FAMC Liquid Foot LF+ mini pedal unit sends Program Changes to the Win8.1 notebook/tablet running Cantabile3, which in turn sends out all the Program Changes to the Fantom, Nord and Motif rack. CanTab also controls all the transpose, layers, splits, CC mapping, etc. I wish I could perform as well as my rig. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m305/Koda_Vonnor/ICBANDVA_Bunkers20160206/Bunkers_StageRig03.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m305/Koda_Vonnor/ICBANDVA_Bunkers20160206/Bunkers_StageRig02.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m305/Koda_Vonnor/ICBANDVA_Bunkers20160206/Bunkers_Stage01.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m305/Koda_Vonnor/ICBANDVA_Bunkers20160206/Bunkers_20160206_14.jpg ~ vonnor Quote Gear: Hardware: Nord Stage3, Korg Kronos 2, Novation Summit Software: Cantabile 3, Halion Sonic 3 and assorted VST plug-ins.

vonnor Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hey Vonnor, not to take the fun out of the rig, but why do you need the tablet/Cantabile to do the program changes and setups when either the Fantom or the Nord are capable? Primarily my background I think. Back in '89-'91 I toured with a similar midi control system. Lake Butler Sound MIDI Mitigator pedal with song names on the display sending program changes to a Digital Music Corp MX-8 midi patchbay/processor. The MX-8 would do then what Cantabile does now. It's extremely flexible and with all units running LOCAL=OFF allows for two things I prefer. 1. I don't have to touch anything on my keyboards except the keys and wheels(or paddle) during the entire performance. The foot unit changes everything for each song. 2. I can play any sound on any sound generator module (NS2, Fantom, Motif) using any range of keys, and even use the Nord's mod wheel to simultaneously sweep the filter cutoff on one channel in the Roland and "Morph" sweep the hard-sync modulator on the NS2 (which I do for "One Thing Leads to Another"). Using the kind of setup you mentioned, I'm not sure how I could get both of the above, but I'm always willing to look at other options if they can streamline the rig without compromising preferences. I guess I just have my head around this type of "Central Hub" MIDI system since I did something similar back in the day. ~ vonnor Quote Gear: Hardware: Nord Stage3, Korg Kronos 2, Novation Summit Software: Cantabile 3, Halion Sonic 3 and assorted VST plug-ins.

That's a really elegant-looking setup! The 3 boards visually integrate together well. I run a similar 3-board setup with a PX-5s, Hammond XK-1 and Axiom 61, but yours is much more compact and visually nicer. Is that a K&M 188800? I have the same stand, and like it a lot, the best 3-tier stand I've found so far.
