moh Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 just splashed out on a s90 yamaha and m-audio audiophile 192 soundcard. will buy a firewire echo card when i can afford my laptop! My question is: have i wasted my money as i only play mouse! I can imagine what i could do with a board as i mouse click reason 3.0 so i went for it!

LithoJazzoSphere Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 If you can't play keyboard at all, and don't intend to, I don't see what need you would have for a keyboard. I would stick with purchasing other soft synths if you're looking for new sounds. A picture may paint a thousand words, but a melody can paint a thousand pictures.

moh Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 Sorry I should have mentioned, I wanted a good controller board, but found everything in my price range too toy like. I would love to learn keys as the music am makin is heading right down the electro jazz direction and i am fed up with the effort involed using mouse only. I can play the guitar a little and had a DX27 and casio boards when i was a teen some 20 years ago! But am thinking maybe i was a little hastey with the cost so early on in my new music phase.. Dam when i bought my DX27 (age 16) I was wishing it was a DX7 ! Now I can buy a dx7 expander board ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithoJazzoSphere Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Well, if you want to learn to play, the S90 is a nice board. The only issue may be that since the S90 ES is out, the price may not have lowered on the original S90's yet, so you might have lost some there. A picture may paint a thousand words, but a melody can paint a thousand pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Golly Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Ah, the beauty that occurs when a poster includes more detail... brings a tear to my eyes, it does. Moh, the S90 is a fantastic board... it's got a great feel, a ton of fantastic sounds, and wonderful performance control features. It will serve you well for years as you develop your chops. It's also great because you can just turn it on, without needing the computer up and running, slap some headphones into it, and practice to your heart's content. Fantastic piano sound, to boot. Enjoy your new purchase! Cheers, SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moh Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 yeah litho good point however the jump from s90 to s90es is about £500 pounds in uk...this VAT thing really hurts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moh Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 Sevn cheers ! Think your both right guys, maybe i should have waited till i could affrod the es , however i will make better music than just using a mouse! With the s90...

moh Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 I was alittle concerned about the piano sound on the s90.. after reading comments on a web page called harmony central! They really laid into it! I just thought they sound a little fanatic, not like you guys sound i.e like seasoned pros! into the tech and music, it really comes over on this forum..... am guna cry!

Sven Golly Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Moh, you can always rationalize waiting... but then there'll be an S90ES II, or something ELSE that you can wait for. At some point, as my grandfather used to say, you need to s%#t or get off the pot. Welcome to the forum! Cheers, SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, since we're on the subject of pot, here's an article you're sure to enjoy from my neck of the woods: CLONK HERE.
