  1. I think they should rename that parrot and call him Keith.
  2. Some people say the Fantom 0 series organ is improved over the FA series. I haven't tried one to compare. I find the Roland FA series organ sounds rather lifeless compared to my Hammond clonewheel. I have a Vent pedal, which I tried on the FA out of curiosity. It improved it a little, but there's something missing in the organ sim itself. Don't know how else to describe it other than "lifeless". Now maybe through a real Leslie you wouldn't notice too much of a difference, but that's not an option for most people these days. (No vibrato/chorus on the FA organ either which is really dumb.) My Hammond clonewheel through the Vent sounds many times better than the FA. I also have VB-3 and B3-X, so my FA is used for synth duties only...Which is fine for me because that's what I got it for.
  3. Funny that you mention Gonzalo Rubalcaba. I'm not a jazz fan for the most part but of the few jazz CD's I've actually bought over the years, Gonzalo Rubalcaba is one of them. He's a monster.
  4. I'm not so sure that a plastic chassis is any cheaper to produce than a metal chassis. I think the main reason manufacturers have gone the plastic route is to save on shipping costs and provide a lighter keyboard to lug around.
  5. I think ATST is based on presets that you can tweak to some extent. On the other hand V.A.S.T. allows you to tweak/create pretty much whatever you want.
  6. I've only ever used CL here. (Vancouver) Purchased and sold lots of gear locally over the years without a hitch. I always mention "cash only" regardless of how much the item is I'm selling. If people are serious and want it, they will show up with the cash.
  7. While they're at it, there's lotsa room on top of the keyboard module for a ribbon controller. Shoulda, coulda...
  8. Those modules look interesting. Should've been modules from day one. Why oh why didn't they go one step further with the Opsix and make it at least bi-timbral? With 80 voices now on board it would be a monster with the ability to stack/split patches. If it can handle 80 voices, then doing that shouldn't require any further processing power. ( I know...because it was cheap and easy for them to just remove the keyboard, pitch and mod wheels and release it) They missed a glorious opportunity there to knock it out of the park.)
  9. There really are no rules. Play whatever you like/hear in your head. Theory should have nothing to do with it until you're done and need to explain it all somehow.
  10. I think the main issue with that snare in the video is not so much the sound, but the fact that it's waaay too loud in the mix compared to the rest of the drums. Sticks out like a sore thumb. Not a good balance.
  11. Some of those hardcore dubstep "wub wub" sounds became popular using synths like NI Massive and Razor. There's several modulations involved - much more than just a filter. (There's YouTube tutorials on what's involved in making those sounds) Most, if not all artists in that realm automate all those nuances in their DAW using modulation lanes which control the softsynth, as opposed to programming a controller. Doing it manually would only work easily using one knob (like a Superknob) that controls several different mod destinations at once.
