Agreed with AnotherScott. The CME line-up is great and so is their support.

Craig, What kind of monitoring system are you using for your Atmos mixing? -
Your Latest Purchase (music related)
Mike Martin replied to Justin Havu's topic in The Keyboard Corner
Well I got something completely unexpected. Found at an estate sale in near mint condition. Probably hasn’t been played in 20 years but after a lot of heavy lifting and a quick clean its up in my studio. Between Vangelis and Peter Gabriel I’m just a crazy for this sound. I’ve never thought I’d own one of these much less in this condition. It has MIDI installed although I haven’t tried it yet. -
This has been on my list. I hadn't seen anything that showed control over virtual instruments, thanks for sharing your findings. Definitely saving up for this.

Lightweight all in one board for fun, jamming, etc
Mike Martin replied to Dave Keys's topic in The Keyboard Corner
CT-S500 also has an expression pedal input. Sound wise, the CT-S500 has a larger sample set which includes more vintage keyboard sounds (Mellotrons, String Machines and some vintage Casio stuff too). The DSP editing in particular is powerful. -
I'd bet it is power supply related.

Mike Martin replied to GovernorSilver's topic in The Keyboard Corner
Yes. No drivers needed. I’d recommend installing the latest firmware for DAW use. -
The new Casio Celviano series releases for NAMM 2024
Mike Martin replied to Mark Schmieder's topic in The Keyboard Corner
We had a Celviano demo stage and a Privia demo stage at NAMM. These aren’t stage pianos, they’re console pianos. -

The new Casio Celviano series releases for NAMM 2024
Mike Martin replied to Mark Schmieder's topic in The Keyboard Corner
This in my opinion is one of the things Casio has always gotten right. The new "Hamburg" piano sample in these new pianos is just unbelievable too. They recorded the same piano - so it is a familiar sound but they nailed the dynamic response. -
The new Casio Celviano series releases for NAMM 2024
Mike Martin replied to Mark Schmieder's topic in The Keyboard Corner
All three new models have the same action, the “Smart Hybrid Hammer Action Keys (Celviano Edition) with Spruce construction”. It is NOT the same action as our Grand Hybrid, it is a new action - a variation and improvement from what is in the PX-S7000. We've had some very discerning professional classical players at the booth this year and we have received some great feedback from them and everyone that has played these new instruments. The Bechstein plaque is on the AP-750 because they still collaborated on the voicing of the "Berlin" piano tone, as well as the speaker system on this instrument and other elements. -
Kurzweil K2600RS repair / Sample RAM Failure
Mike Martin replied to Mike Martin's topic in Repairs and Mods
Yes, I've spoken with Dave Weiser and everyone I know from my previous days at Kurzweil. I've swapped a lot of RAM to test this. Perhaps I'll buy one more set but in the meantime I'll keep watching for a dented up K2600 to acquire another motherboard. -
Kurzweil K2600RS repair / Sample RAM Failure
Mike Martin replied to Mike Martin's topic in Repairs and Mods
Got the power supply back, refurbished and installed it back in the K26000RS. Unfortunately no change. Sample RAM will not show up. I've got 4 different RAM sticks of various sizes to try, two of them are new and the other two are what I've had in the unit for years. So other than finding another motherboard, I'm at a loss as to how to fix it. The SCSI SD-card emulator seems to work perfectly, of course I can't load any samples.
