skyy38 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Ah,weekends!A couple of days to relax out where the busses don't run and you don't need an alarm clock to wake up early.Go fishing,breathe the air...enjoy life...drink and eat too much. But you knew in advance that,even in your quietest moments,your muse would tap you on the shoulder and sweetly demand a little *satisfaction* So,what kind of really simple(yet still oh so powerful)music rig do you have tucked away in your cabin by the lake?It has to be really simple because you want to spend time on your music and not giving waveforms crew cuts. As I'm filling my mouth to the roof with Jack and Cokes,I recall that the simplest rig I could come up with was: Korg D1200 MKII Casio WK-3500 Ah,the simple life.........

JimmieWannaB Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 My Alesis QS6.1 and a big bag of steadyb's finest. Instead of a cabin by a lake, mine would be a small secluded cottage off the Mendecino coast. (sigh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick K. Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Actually, the only instrument that's kept up at the cottage in northern Wisconsin is an acoustic guitar. I have no idea what kind, but it has nylon strings and sounds just fine when we're sitting around the campfire! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jode Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 How about a real live old-school cabin twin keyboard rig: a box piano and a pump organ? Party like it's 1869!

Dan South Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Powerbook running Logic, ESX24, and ES2. No keyboard. Mouse entry only. (P.S. My "cabin" is the commuter train that I ride to work every day.) The Black Knight always triumphs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RABid Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I frequently stick my Emu XL-7 in my suitcase when going on vacation or business trips. As a bonus I sometimes take an Oxygen 8 and/or laptop. It is nice to sit on a balcony with headphones on and the XL7 in my lap. Robert This post edited for speling.

composer73 Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Well...That's where my "obsolete keyboards go to retire. I have a room dedicated to brainstorming. A Roland D20, a Korg DSS-1, an EMU Proformance 1, a Roland MT-32, a Roland DDR-30 drum module as well as a Alesis D-4, drum module... and the piece d'resistance... a Brother PDC-100 sequencer... all sitting where I have a perfect view out of the picture window looking over a small lake in northern Michigan. Life is good... just not often enough! After "working on my thoughts, they're saved to a floppy and brought home to download on the computer here at home and worked on in "reality".

Superbobus Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 My trusty CS6x and a tray of Hertog Jan beer. That's what I have, now for the cabin... http://www.bobwijnen.nl Hipness is not a state of mind, it's a fact of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
