Blimey, I have been out of the loop for a while. Check out what less than £1000 gets you nowadays...max 270 note poly, 8 track digital recording to the built in 40GB HD, sampler, virtual sound modelling and an 88 note weighted piano keyboard...a studio in a box...lovely, might have to burn some plastic this weekend;

Stoker, it's a flippin' bargain. Retailed at £3000 dollars on release and I hear they are now shipping with an 80GB HD as standard...woohoo! |

Ouch! I'd like to know what your definition of expensive is then - it's a beeoootiful machine but for a poor boy like me who cannot afford a set of new strings for his guitar it's a very, very expensive machine!
So Splinters - did you get it? |

Wizard, Stoker has a good point. Try looking at this keyboard's main rival (perhaps it's only one)..the Korg Oasys. It is a hard disk recording studio in a keyboard, almost infintite updates through the operating system but it comes in at a touch under £6000:
http://www.korg.com/gear/prod_info.asp?a_prod_no=OASYS&category_id=1
The Alesis is under £1000 and has up to 270 note poly and a similar HD recording and updateable operatinfg system. Can't seem to fins a fault with it really.
I realise it costs a lot but I am selling my other keyboards to pay-should only cost me a hundred pounds or so...
Oh, and I am demo'ing one on Sunday morning...can't wait :jumpy: |

It sounds like a bargain! - A friend of mine has an OASYS (He produced quite a lot of the sounds on it) and it rocks.. But I agree - the price is way up there! Mind you - the LCD panel on it is nice..
The Alesis looks (and sounds) great.. Wonder if its beerproof! |

Just demo'd one a few hours ago. Real pleasure to play and sounds excellent. I fear I may be buying it tomorrow...It may be beerproof but try putting a glass on it-it's curved...:( |

Awesome Splinters! I wonder if I should retrieve my Radio Shack keyboard I bought 6 years ago from the closet and see if I can play anything ;). As a kid I played the piano and even did a live show once with many compliments, only problem was I didn't read notes it was mostly automatic for me, listen and then play. When are we going to hear some tunes :D? Can't wait. |

I am stroking it's lovely keyboard as we speak. As it has a USB connector I am looking to connect it to TS7 as a controller input which will create random organic shapes in the player while I play boogie woogie on the keyboard.
Hell, it's good but not that good....or is it?.....:banana:
As long as I can sell the other keyboards...I am a very happy man today! |

Hey Splinters, good for you! I'm sure you'll grow to love it - it has so many inputs, outputs and other options - how could you not? :cool:
Now just dive in and enjoy - don't think about the money...that would have been 10 pulls on a £100 slot, and you could have lost it in 8 minutes - at least at the tight-a$$ casino near me you could have. You've made a practical and wise decision. |

And very nice it is too...just couldn't resist posting this. I am sure everyone is curious as to where other 'artists' work. From this little den all my creations are made and TS7 was born here (iconically of course;) ). |

Is this one of those funny statements that requires someone to question it before we actually realise what you are talking about :D:confused: |

My music is probably in a different vein to everyone else's here. Sure we use technology, but only for arranging (just Cubase & a mic). After that it's just 16 voices, good friendship, laughter and LOT's of fun.
See http://www.nakedvoices.co.uk BTW, I'm the tall skinny one with glasses!
Sound & vid clips (http://www.nakedvoices.co.uk/html/index.php?id=6) And one of my arrangements that we're currenly gigging but isn't in the website
Bill Withers - Lovely Day (http://www.nakedvoices.co.uk/sounds/lovelyday_all_parts.mp3)
I like this 'show and tell' music sesh - what a variety out there! |

Never noticed this thread before...That acapella stuff is very cool... I'm a bit of a musician myself but have nothing to post here of my own ....I did record and mix a cd for a local band recently which I feel turned out pretty good considering our collective experience ... warning: it is about as far from Grommit's tunes as you can get.........

Cool to see there are musicians here in the tS bunch too! If someone wants to hear my strange stuff, here's the place to check it out: http://www.dailymotion.com/JKorhonen/video/x19im6_beastie-boys-root-down-rmx
The songs are available in better quality on my homepages www.loadusfx.net/music.html ... There are couple of my old tS3.2 "THX" animations on the dailymotion pages too. Yay. |

Hey guys...
I'm also a musician of sorts, played solo guitar in the bars for several years, but mostly used it for bonfire jamming late nights at the beach (and a few times in the middle of a frozen lake - bonfire and all!). It's been many years since I was into it though, but still dabble occasionally.
The reason I'm popping into this thread here is that I'm currently developing a WIP which could directly relate to you guys as musicians... an Audio Video Lounge I'd like to see adopted by Caligari as a truePlace.
The idea here is for LIVE jamming in truePlace. Go see the latest setup images in the WIP thread for The Loft to see what I mean. Ideally, we would set up a recurring weekly time when TS Musicians could plugin LIVE to jam there while many of us could listen in live at the truePlace and watch whatever video you chose to be displayed on the bigscreens below as you jammed. :D
Cool idea?

That is a cool idea... you should look into a program called Ninjam if you haven't already. |

WOW Chester... that was the PERFECT suggestion for this idea!!! :D
It appears that Ninjam may just be the perfect solution for pulling this idea off online within a truePlace setting. Ninjam is also multi-platform, very powerful, and free!
http://www.ninjam.com/
I was worried about the latency of the internet presenting possible obstacles to pulling this idea off until I read the following at the Ninjam website:
"What is NINJAM?
NINJAM is a program to allow people to make real music together via the Internet. Every participant can hear every other participant. Each user can also tweak their personal mix to his or her liking. NINJAM is cross-platform, with clients available for Mac OS X and Windows.
NINJAM uses compressed audio which allows it to work with any instrument or combination of instruments. You can sing, play a real piano, play a real saxophone, play a real guitar with whatever effects and guitar amplifier you want, anything. If your computer can record it, then you can jam with it (as opposed to MIDI-only systems that automatically preclude any kind of natural audio collaboration).
Since the inherent latency of the Internet prevents true realtime synchronization of the jam,
and playing with latency is weird (and often uncomfortable), NINJAM provides a solution by making latency (and the weirdness) much longer.
Latency in NINJAM is measured in measures, and that's what makes it interesting.
The NINJAM client records and streams synchronized intervals of music between participants. Just as the interval finishes recording, it begins playing on everyone else's client. So when you play through an interval, you're playing along with the previous interval of everybody else, and they're playing along with your previous interval. If this sounds pretty bizarre, it sort of is, until you get used to it, then it becomes pretty natural. In many ways, it can be more forgiving than a normal jam, because mistakes propagate differently."
Thanks again Chester! Awesome suggestion! :banana:

Oh... one more thing Chester...
Your suggestion also led to me finding the following software mentioned at the Ninjam site:
"03-31-07 -- REAPER
http://reaper.fm/ adds native NINJAM support, complete with stereo channel support and more improvements!"
Reaper, is absolutely awesome and elegant... very inexpensive too. Even their Commercial License is under $200 and would enable someone to manage all this NEAR-LIVE Jamming perfectly from a truePlace such as The Loft Audio Video Lounge.
Great suggestions again Chester, thanks for taking this to the next level! ;)

Just listened to 'time2die' - excellent stuff! :-)
Is that a real orchestra or is it a plugin like Philharmonik (I just bought it) or something better?
your beastieboys remixes are awesome.. My wife doesnt like them for the same reason I do - they are raw :-)
Seen this yet? http://www.synthtopia.com/content/tag/keyboard-synthesizer/
ok - had a go at a beastie boys remix.. I have never heard the origonal;.. wonderful that they gave away their performances acapella! http://www.truespacelibrary.com/tl/music/xman-bb_01-electrify.mp3 |

I have been playing with NINJAM a bit and found it awesome! Its very deep as far as technicality goes, and supports so many different things, its a swiss army knife! It beats Audacity into the ground feature wise! Thanks for bringing it up Chester and 3DVD |

Hi Xmanflash, and Great! After seeing this new Ninjam jamming software that Chester pointed us toward I figured it was so cool that someone here must already be trying it out! I see there are active links to online jams in their forum. Have you used it yet for the online jamming capabilities? :banana:
