Ditto... If you ever get a chance to see Steve Winwood perform, DO NOT PASS UP THE CHANCE! He sings, plays both manuals, and kicks the bass all at the same...
Hi, I'm A vocalist seeking a keyboard player to accompany me. A knowledge of light jazz standards would be helpful, but not essential. Hoping to eventually put...
The demo version of One Man Band version 8 can be downloaded at http://www.1manband.nl/omb.htm There are 30 new tutorials with pictures at that website too. ...
That one man band site is a hoot! Other than the "English isn't my first language" errors (site is in the Netherlands), check out the pic of what they show as...
Wholly shizzles, boyz and girlz! Well, it started snowing full blast around 10a around here (Cincy), and the weatherman tells us at the 8pm weather report that...
Hi Rick et al, Yeah, we got it too here in Oshawa: thick, wet snow, then rain and then a cold snap and freezing rain, all within the space of 8 hours. ...
Yeah, same here. I used a hammer and a flathead screwdriver to knock out the ice in the door jambs, but finally got the doors to open. We had more snow...

Hi all, You might want to play this at your New Year's party, or next day, if you're gigging tonight. It's pretty amazing; you'll hear more and more each time...
Hi, I'm a new memeber and I gig with a PSR2000 but I'm not happy with the trumpet, clarinet, and violin sounds; I find them too punchy. Is there a keyboard or...
Yo Mike, I like the EMU Proteus2/Orchestra (or the more updated Proteus 2000) for the three trumpet patches (Tpt ff, Tpt mf and Harmon Mute Tpt), clarinet is ...
Hi Mike, My Alesis QS8 has pretty good horn and wind sounds. Actually... now that you mention it, the trumpet is a little "punchy". But they do have a few...
Have you tried different speakers. I've found considerable difference in using a set of 8 inch VS a single 12 inch. So now use both. -- Tom Thornton Madison...
... The WX5 is usually paired with a VL70-m, a physical modeling sound module. I bought one (a VL), then bought a cheap used DX11 as a keyboard controller and...
... Sorry, not very clear - I'm not using the VL for string sounds, cos it's monophonic. I might try it if I had a working foot controller, but I don't. Yet....
RE: WX and Physical Modeling Synth Oh yeah, I have a guy that I hire here for pit work who is a reed guy. He has all the physical saxes, but uses a WX and...
This WX thread is just scary. I realize this question is at least 30 years old, but how do you learn an instrument that becomes obsolete before you've even...
Ken Your right, the current equipment is old before it really gets used. Means were all going to have to keep learning new techniques and I guess it is just...
... I don't agree. Midi, despite its limitations, is giving us all ways to control our music we didn't have before. Keyboardists have the edge, because most...
Hi Jay, I guess I'm showing my age, or my lack of sophistication: I'd rather hear Garth Hudson than the closest thing to him, and I'd rather hear a good...
... But if I wanted to add some Garthisms to a recording? I don't have the bucks to be hiring Garth. Plus she was doing some multiple pitch pends the way...
Yamaha has a discontinued item you can maybe find on ebay. It's the model MCS2, if I still had mine around here, I'd give it to you, lol. It has a PB and Mod...
OK, I can see where you pit band guys would be absolutely saved by an ax that could, for example, do a credible oboe sound if it was only needed for two...
Sorry, this reply REALLY rambles. ... I can only speak in my case of using synth to replace live when [live isn't available.] My wind guy playing acoustic...
As I emailed Rick is was a excellent piece on where we are in the live music world today. In reflecting, I came from the theatre organ world, and it was...
Hi Rick, ... Ramble on! (Hey, that would make a good song idea!) ... which ... In my first paragraph I allowed that you pit guys have a much different...
