More midi-controller goodness
I know that I posted about my new midi-controller a while back ( here), but now I'm a bit disappointed. The keys feel too much like a full concert grand piano, which is pretty heavy to the touch. I don't think one should have to play by imitating bear claws as the only way to be sure to hit all the keys you want to. I like the keyboard as a whole, yet it's never had my full affection. Besides, at the time I got it, it was the only usb to midi, hammer-action, weighted, 88-key, multi-fader, multi-knob, midi-controller out there that actually felt like a piano, not to mention cost less than $1000. Granted the keys I've now found cost $1k, but they also feel like the piano I learned and grew up on. Here's the new addition to the list of things to get for the studio, the Fatar VMK-188 Plus...
...Not as many knobs to turn, but the feel of the keys makes this one that I would want to take to gigs. However, I think I'll wait until after Colorado, and then again after the Macbook Pro, before making such a purchase.
Oh yeah, and I changed my LJ up a bit. I actually like the default settings for once.
I really do need to get some samples of my music online again. Perhaps on my blog soon. It's just been so busy (a good thing)...
