David Emm Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Oddly enough, Spitfire Audio's Cimbalom. Its a very pure thing with huge character. How good a player I might become is TBD, but I expect to come close to part of what it does best. Boost the reverb and it becomes classically mysterious, oooo..... 1 Quote "You seem pretty calm about all that."

Justin Havu Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 Not keyboard related, but some new heads for my drum kit. Went with some Evans Hydraulics for the toms, an EMAD2 for the kick, and an EC2 coated for the snare.

What Lego piece did they use for the sharps and flats in the keyboard. I do have the grand piano and the Fender. There's been some lego sets with some music scenes (Assembly square with the piano and music store, and one of the town square sets with the band), but this is a whole other level.

HSS Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I picked up a Yamaha P121 last week. It's portable (73 keys, 22 lbs) with basic GHS weighted action. It has good AP and Rhodes sounds, and decent onboard speakers with 1/4" outputs. It's easy to split and layer any of the 24 onboard sounds. It also has USB midi and audio so only one USB cable cable is needed hook up to an Ipad for more sounds.

midinut Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I bought a Poly D about 6 months ago and it's been sitting in it's box unopened all this time (I know, there goes my keyboard card). I've been in the process of rearranging the whole house. The studio is my last project and I'm trying to take my time and do it right. I couldn't resist the temptation any longer though. As I was moving boxes around, there she was. Calling my name! Begging to get undressed for me. So I unboxed her, set her up on a temporary stand and plugged her in. WOW! That's some fat/phat shit right there. I remember the original Minimoog back in the 70s and this was damn close (as my feeble memory will allow me to). And then ... I kicked in the Chorus and O.M.G. - if you thought it was fat before, sheesh! Anyway, thought I'd share my quick first impression. Now I've got a Wavestate that has barely been played (had for a year now) that needs my loving attention and affection.

ProfD Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Last week, I found out Moog is discontinuing the Matriarch Dark so I grabbed one while quantities still last. 😁 Figured I could either keep and play the h8ll out of the Matriarch or put it back in the box after confirrming that it works and store until it triples in value. 🤣😎 3 2 Quote PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

I'm really enjoying it so far, I have 40+ days to find something wrong with it or else back it goes So far everything's great and it even looks close to new. This is the ideal size for a gigging keyboard IMO considering the stages I play on can sometimes be tight. And while its heavy, it has a very convenient lip along the bottom in the back that makes it very easy to pick up. Assuming its a keeper, it will replace an ancient Studiologic SL-990 controller I have owned since the mid-90s It finally gave up the ghost, but it's kind of nice that the Forte has just about the same TP-40 action. Bro, mine fits in the back of my full size SUV (Yukon) with a hard case without having to lay down a single seat. That’s a winner in my book.

GovernorSilver Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 The Moog Loves You sale proved to be irresistible to me. I ordered a Subharmonicon for $149 off. It arrived last night. Spent a good chunk of the evening messing with it. I expect to spend the next several months trying out all the patch cards shipped with it, then gradually patching it with the Matriarch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been impossible to find in the US. Finally ordered from a store in Germany. Shipping is a bit harsh but that gives me a full sound path of the 2500 series.
