Outatune, this is like a mini jam room man! ha..ha.. where's your speakers?

 

[Outatune]

I was a rich guy, then I started buying synths .

Behind me when I'm playing is a Hartke KM200 keyboard amp, which you can't see in the photo. In the practice room I use headphones, so the Hartke is just acting as a mixer and headphone amp.

Also not in the photo is my rack. Two MKS-80 Super Jupiters with a MPG-80, a Waldorf Microwave XT, Oberheim Matrix 1000, and a MOTU MTP AV. Not using that stuff too much these days, but they are fun to have around when the mood arises.

WOW. why don't u just get a pair of studio monitors man. that'll really bring out the sound of this rig.

isn't your laptop quite precariously located, on that speaker stand.

Sampletank and Halion 2? Why do you need 2? I'm sure you won't be using them at the same time. If you have samples in both formats, you can always convert using Chicken Translator etc.

Nevertheless, nice setup and a nice collection of VSTis, although I doubt you are able to load too many of them in one instance particularly with Moog Modular and with a notebook with only 1GB of RAM.

 

[shel_keys]

Thanks,..
I actually didnt load the Halion anymore, since the first time i use Sampletank, i had fun with it and forgot about halion 2 anymore.
Yah, just removed moog modular way back since im having a hard time loading it in cubase, thingking of removing Bohsendorfer also.
Maybe when i get a powerful PC or notebook... then i can use.
and yes.. talking about chicken translator, im actually downloading the free version right now.
Got loads of inquiry to do from you guys, i'll open e new thread on the other, hope you can find time to help.. see you there HELP!

i don't know if you can call it a rig, but this is what i have at home and have been messing around with:

Keys:
Yamaha Motif ES 8 (with Acoustic Piano Plug-In Board)
Yamaha Electone EL-87
Old Detune Yamaha Piano
M-Audio Anixom 49

SoftSynths/ Samples & Loops Libraries:
Native Instruments: Absynth 3
Spectrasonics Atmosphere
Arturia Minimoog V
ArhythmiA Vol. 1 & 2
Lauki
AudioMulch
Ableton Live 6

Before my Anixom came, I used to lug around my ES 8 with a gator flight case. I save all my setup and sequences on a Flash-Rom.

 

[bongman]

wow! good setup!

 

[jon5]

aye, thanks man.

I was actually thinking of adding a Roland Vsynth but was wondering whether to get the sound module or the workstation itself. Im quited attracted to the time-warp control...

any views?

 

[zenguan88]

i tried the Vsythn in swee lee twice , hmm to me i don find anything interesting about it. sound wise its very more to the analogue side very dance music style . if you are talking about strings there are little orchestra strings patches however it depends what you like actually.

however i couldnt try the vocoder in the Vsythn i was actually wanting to try that out ha.

 

[digihub]

BT uses V-synth

 

[digihub]

a friend's setup

 

[Cheez]

Speechless... That's one really colourful studio. Even the cables are in rainbow colour!

Wonder where he got the Oberheim.

Better stop - drooling too much here....

 

[digihub]

 

[bongman]

wow! what are the previous posting about?

Someone is a proud owner of KORG OASYS ?
and proud of a friend's setup !?

true, the 'rainbow studio' is very impressive...
well, I'm speechless...

 

[sgtpepper]

A few. They are called "keyboard players."
