coyote Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 The pitchbend/mod thread got me thinking about how complex my setup has become in just a couple years. To think, as little as three years ago I was just beginning to control a NanoPiano from a Casio keyboard.... Now a Kurzweil ExpressionMate sits at the heart of my rig. Its main out goes to a Roland JP8000, which outs thru a Behringer FCB1010 midipedal and into the ExpMate's main in. The ExpMate's Aux out goes to a midi merge box, which goes to an Alesis QS71 and a Rhodes MK80. The outs go back to the merge, which returns to the ExpMate's aux in. Oh yeah, a Darkstar XP2 hangs off one of the thru ports.... It's a damn good thing I have it all documented, else I'd never be able to put it together on the road. I used to think I was Libertarian. Until I saw their platform; now I know I'm no more Libertarian than I am RepubliCrat or neoCON or Liberal or Socialist. This ain't no track meet; this is football.

RABid Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Don't 'ca think it's about time to integrate a computer or three into that setup? Come on. You gotta be prepared to argue either side of the hardware/software debate. Then you are a real keyboard geek. Robert This post edited for speling.

Jeebus Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Ya know, I've always said there's no such thing as too much gear. On the other hand I feel like a hypocrite, because while seeing a live act where the keyboard player had an unnecessary and obscene amount of gear onstage (including several redundant pieces), I kept thinking "just who the hell does this guy think he is???". I guess it just comes down to deciding what is necessary to take on the road to get the job done, and leaving EVERYTHING ELSE at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
