after a while you will look in the mirror and say to yourself .. "What the heck am I doing"?
its more of a mental state then anything else...believe me I know & learned the hard way.
it's an expensive, aggravating, futile search that leads right back to where you started until you finally realize you don't need it. Your better off perfecting what you already have.
have fun.
So Donny, when did you come to that realizaion? This morning?
. Just pulling your chain, man. Remember, you said it, not me. Seriously though, you're right. Since I've started to devote 95% of my allotted 'music' time to the organ AND have finally gotten what, in my mind, is the best available 'clonewheel' (KeyB Duo Mark 111), I have lost the desire to keep buying new gear every five seconds. The only thing I plan to add in the near future is a good quality (but not outrageously priced) digital piano - maybe a TOTL Casio, for my 'studio'. I already have a very nice acoustic for the home.
I still have three arrangers but only use the BK7m as a drum machine for practice and rehearsal when playing alone in my studio. Whenever possible and for recording, I try to use a live drummer and my E-drum kit (Alesis Pro 10). My main focus these days is working out arrangements for a vocalist I occasionally work with and experimenting with solos for those arrangements. I'm quite happy with my current configuration which is the organ with a Roland VP770 on top midied to the Bk7m. All through a mixer into a pair of EV 250x's. For recording playback, I use one of several pair of studio monitors.
