allan_evett Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 KHX - if you don't need a versatile, multi-sound synth engine, or pitch/mod control, the Electro 3 could be a good option. Also, if pitch/mod controls are not needed for the purpose you mentioned, the recently mentioned Hammond SK-1 73 (in a concurrent thread here) might do the trick. It appears to have more ready to go, synth/ROMpler tones. 'Someday, we'll look back on these days and laugh; likely a maniacal laugh from our padded cells, but a laugh nonetheless' - Mr. Boffo.

Ekewaka Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'm indeed waiting for all the NAMM 2013 announcements before building my next keyboard live rig. I was looking at the Jupiter-50; actually built a similar system using an old MacBookPro and Mainstage 2.2 and a MIDI keyboard controller, layering, splits et rest. Worked fine. Using a Nord below would then annotate the system with a good player centric keyboard. But I need to contain myself so I know what's out there later this year before putting the rig together. Who knows, if Jupiter-50 prices go down it might still be in my radar. PS: Frankly speaking the big mistake Roland did was to name this performance synth Jupiter. They should have reserved that name for anything with plenty of sliders and knobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
