That keyboard, and Logitech thumb-trackballs, saved me from carpal tunnel 20 years ago, and I've never used anything else since. Always felt sorry for techs at work, or anyone in my office, who sat down to use my computer: "What is this weirdo mouse you have? And how do you even type on this, this THING??!" I've had several, and they're unicorns -- especially the white ones. Hope I never have to replace it!

It went round every desk in the department, staying for a couple of days until its user gave up - until it arrived on mine. I held on to it - offered to give it back when I moved on and they said "keep it". Took it with me to my next job, and it's somewhere in my cellar at the moment, minus a Z keycap. (I've used various ergonomic successors over the years...) Cheers, Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Havu Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 Coffeehouse/concert event. I love playing a big rig like this. With as many sounds as I use, it's a bit easier for me to have some real estate than to change patches during a song. I've also never been a fan of splitting the keyboard. I'm an improv guy that never really plays the same thing twice, and unless I trigger a couple of one-shot samples from either end of the keyboard, I can never remember where the split point is. I'd rather focus on playing during a song than doing a bunch of patch changes in the middle of one. Plus, hauling this kind of setup around helps keep me in shape. Lol The two Behringers and DX7 are merely for playing bass, as we don't currently have a bass player. 2600 is MIDI'd to the DX7, with which I use a couple of different patches, one being the obligatory E. BASS 1 patch. Then, I just have a different bass patch dialed into the Oddy. 2 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...
cphollis Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 This is me last weekend. Shown: NS4C, NP5 as midi controller, PM-16 personal mixer, open-back headphones, Spider Pro stand Not shown: three pedals, X32 Rack, pre-amps. It's a simple, light and clean-looking setup that does everything well. All the sound processing for keys is done by the NS4, e.g. compression, EQ. It's a total blast to play live. Zero upgrades planned. 7 Quote Want to make your band better? Check out "A Guide To Starting (Or Improving!) Your Own Local Band" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.F.N. Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Setting up, preparing, and rehearsing for the first session, in about two weeks, with the band I am starting to play with. Having a little walkthrough with the singer next week to start with. Standard "classic" Top 40 stuff, a lot of blues/soul, great start after having been away from this for 15+ years, I'm seriously excited!! Waiting for the K&M laptop shelf add-on, for the B4D, to arrive, early April the reseller tells me, so meanwhile using a tripod laptop stand I had lying around. 5 1 Quote "You live every day.

Man, you’re really bringing it at this gig 👍😁 Ah, when you said in the back, I thought you were talking about the XR18 on the floor, as in the back of the photo, not the back of the rig. Lol. The whole left side, and the 2600, is pretty much bass land, since I cover bass in addition to main keys. 2600 is MIDI'd to the DX7, which is set to the ever-popular E BASS 1 patch, and the 2600 adds a bit of extra meat to that. Oddy was dialed in with a patch similar to a fretless bass.

Jose EB5AGV Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 As I am trying to incorporate a Maschine to my rig (probably in the form of a Mikro unit), this is the proof-of-concept studio setup including my Mk3. I have added some tall rubber bumpers to the Maschine, so it sits comfortably over the VPC1 And a more general view of that corner: Now I just need to learn the Maschine 😅 Jose 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgoo Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 My updated Gig Rig. FP-30x used for note entry only. The controller on the left is an Atemp MC-1. All sounds are VSTi's with Gig Performer as a host. Instead of a Laptop, I have a touchscreen mounted right in front of me on top of the FP-30x and a NUC mini PC mounted on the pedal board. Lightweight, small footprint and very easy / quick setup / tear down. 1 iPad runs the mixer app to control my IEMs. The other runs Unrealbook. I have charts for everything, but typically don't need them. The charts primarily send program changes to the NUC to call up different Rackspaces on GP. By the way, for anyone interested... I use iPads for nothing other than Unrealbook and M-32 (mixer app for the IEMs). Both run just fine on iPad 3s. You can buy iPad 3s for about $30 on ebay. I have 4 of them. 8 2 Quote Custom Music, Audio Post Production, Location Audio www.gmma.biz https://www.facebook.com/gmmamusic/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that just live, or have you advanced equally far with your home studio? Super impressive either way! Can you post any photos of your shack? I just picked up an FTDX-101D and am working getting the shack and antennas set up after many years of inactivity.

Thanks for your nice comments. That is one of my home setups, the one I use to practice piano when not using my Yamaha U3H, and also to do some Cubase work or test my MONTAGE/MODX patches. Yes, my first gig was on July 2022. But don't be fooled by the gear, I am a lots worse player than it may allow. But, well, there are some advances 😉 About the radio station, it is quite the opposite, gear wise. My best rig is an FTdx-5000, which is also nice, but in fact that keyboard setup reduced in half my radio station. The music hobby has displaced the radio one. As I am all day fixing radios as my main job, it is also a way to disconnect from that. 73 Jose EB5AGV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
