  1. Can i add Aphrodites child to that? Vangellis with Demis Rousos most of their lifespan was a trio..
  2. The mac book pro is 32 GB max, you need to ask yourself is that enough for you? I guess for a live keyboardist mainstage setup, it will be more then enough.. But for a DAW and someon that uses 80 or 90 tracks for film music with large sample libraries? It could be an issue having only 32GB.. But then for a production DAW, i guess people will not use laptops... For me personally the major issue with apple is their prices for extra memmory and SSDs... thats why i went for the new mac mini, that allows you to upgrade memmory.. combined with an external 2TB SSD...
  3. How about a 16 macbook pro with turnable touchscreen? Untill that time, i will stick to my 2018 mac mini, turned into an all in one with an 18 touchscreen and 2 external drives.. we made a custom box for that... wireless keyboard and touchpad.... Its kind of mainstage in a box..
  4. I use gadget for many things, but not for uploading a standard midi file, its less suited for this.. If i was the OP, i would start out with gargeband that comes for free with your iphone and ipad.. good sequencer..
  5. As said, there are quite a lot formidable 88 keys that function well as a masterkeyboard.. Montage 8 Kronos Forte Are on top of my list.. And if you can live witouth aftertouch, but want superb piano action, I would add the Roland RD2000 to that list.. And there is a much longer list that qualifies in some Extend but all miss aftertouch (Modx, fa08, kawai mp7/11,etc etc etc) If you want a super 88 masterkey, and definately want no sounds, look at the Physis EX4 i believe, it even has aftertouch and anice triplesensor action with real wooden keys).
  6. I had one around the same time period. It was a very cool piece. I ended up trading it for a Voyager which was far more useful to me at the time. Sounded great and had a great keyboard. I recall it really had it's own flavor and not the utopia mixture of famous legacy synths. The flip up panel was beautiful to look at but failed miserably in reality. It has to be the top board in a stack and when it was the top board in a stack, you couldn't comfortably reach the controls. I guess the module version solved all of that? We also know what they didnt like? in this age where modular is hot, this instrument looks better then ever. Actually they prommised adding what we now know as the v-colection in modules.. This alone would set the Origin in a class of its own.. In the end it seems the developers at Arturia where allready on other projects the day this released.. and with success, as thesedays Arturia is both successfull in hardware and software..
  7. Yes and it could be mounted in an 18 rack
  8. Did anyone ever play/own one of these? I have only seen them on youtube? But the design was so prommissing. Why where these synths not a success? Maybe in the future Arturia might bring modularrity to the V-collection.. As there is enough proof that they have since the Origin created their synths in modular fashion, allowing them to add these modular things other projects . Imagine using an arp2600 filter and a comb filter with 2 cs80 and a jupiter 8 oscilator and a whole bunch of modulation. They could even bring the brute and the freak oscilators to the V-collection.. Or just create a new hardware digital/va synth in the fasion of a Macrofreak..with the minifreak oscilators and some of the orrigin/v-collction oscilators filters etc etc.. In my book Arturia is in a perfect position to try another (semi) modular va synth.
  9. I would wish i never quit my piano lessons in my puberty
  10. Maybe its me, but this seems to still be the most versatile synth out there with a dedicated interface.. Sure there is a lot of analogues and hybrid crossovers, but i dont think anything comes close to the Versatillity and powerfull engine of the Virus ti(2). It can do it all from warm analogue sounds to digitall squeeks And i keep wondering what would have happened if they would have kept developing this brand any further. The concept is brilliant.. if they would habe just kept adding features, types of oscilators, new dsp, sound improvements.. more processor power.. they would have been in a league of their own by now..but i guess its easier to make a living in the guitar world of things..
  11. I dont know, but ispend more money on software then hardware.. And i never see a dime back, where selling unused hardware brings back much of the cost.. Like komplete ultimate, every 2 years a few 100 dollars for an update.. Software solutions are only cheap when you use hacked software And that does not fit my book.. Where it comes to software, i moved to the ipad, there is enough great synths to keep me busy for years, at acceptable prices... but in general i stick to hardware.. mostly bought used.. The best 88 key controller? I would say used : kronos, montage, modx, fa08.. all make great controllers and come with great onboard sounds
  12. I played the new s3000 series this weekend The keybed is a step up from the px5s, i liked it quite well Never liked the sp6 tough...
  13. Based on how well the Peak has sold, and a MAP of $1999.00 it could sell really well. A 5 Octave KB with assignable Split points, and dual 8 voice Peak engines? Lots of sound shaping, two Filters? We'll see how it takes off. Mike T. Direct competition for DSI rev2 and the DSI prophet 12.. Same price range, what do you ears tell you?
  14. I´m searching small ones for a small room and came across Adam T5V/T7V and Fluid Audio F5. A.C. Those are comparable size. All 5 cones I compared the Adam T5 to the Adam A5x, there was a huge difference in sound and clarrity, the A5x performed considerably better, according to my ears. There was much more dttail in the mids and highs, and a lot more Base..
