Gig Rig

I use only NS2 for function band! We play various artist covers, but I not have situation when need 4 layers in one sound. Maybe you're music arrangement is much complex.

It is not a question of complexity of the music, but the sound quality. For example: a trumpet does not sound like if you blow hard or soft. Or the same way a piano sounds different if you play soft or super strong. In the form of a single current layer we have now, your trumpet will sound almost like, you play the keyboard soft or hard. The only variation will be the volume and brightness only if the .nsmp was programmed with the activated filter. The possibilities are endless. I hope I was clear with the explanation.

I love the keyboard stand. Does it collapse?

If so, can you make me one? LOL

It doesn't collapse, but the laptop/tablet arm folds down. It fits nicely in my SUV though. I lay it on its back and slide the bagged keyboards inside it. The rack, and my monitor and gig-bag go next to it nice and neat.

The piano library sounds contain a several layers for hard and soft touch. Trumpet sounds in live better take from real trumpet

...I'd sure like to see a closeup of how that attaches to the US tubes...

Its a USS laptop holder on an OLD microphone adapter from back in the '90's. The adaptor was cracked so I had to machine an aluminium sleeve to slide over the cracked barrel and hold it all together. Only took a slight sanding down the inside of a 41mm (38mm I.D.) tube to fit it tightly over the adapter, then drilled the two holes for set-screw access.

You can download sounds in you're NS2 and not bring all these pieces to stage...

The Motif Rack ES has great chunk and power guitar sounds that I use a lot, and the Fantom XR has Clavinets with release samples that I like better than the Nord's. I hope to find some in the FA-06 so I can scrub-out the XR. Just started going through all the FA sounds though.

Finally someone with more wiring than me! Isn't it amazing just how many cables a supposedly simple two keyboard rig can generate? ...

16 cables, and the midi is snaked. The all fold up inside the rack though. Very easy tear-down...

I just not care so much about NOT keyboard sounds, because i not play sax style, or big band arangements, or Beethoven's symphony on keyboard. Mellotron have only one layer sounds, so it possible to play +100500 rock and pop songs. ))) Why The Beatles or Led Zeppelin use mellotron? Are they not have money for a session music ants?

[Leo Castro]

I truly love the Beatles, in fact I play in a cover band called Get Back !! But I'll tell you the truth about why they used the Mellotron: because they had no Nord at Abbey Road !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW Vonnor, nice rig and stand!
