I now have the most versatile studio I've ever owned, and in the smallest space. It's an 8x10 second bedroom. I decided to stack the SX900 on top of the SV-1, so I can get the best Rhodes tones along with the styles, and layers. I can also record direct to the SX.

I have a wireless midi guitar rig (Montreal triple play) that feeds into the SX through a mixer, so I can also record that directly for a quick demo, without firing up the Big Mac. T

he PA-4x is my main studio piece, giving me incredible vocal options, and all the sounds and features I can imagine, especially adding the possibilities of software sounds. There's a dedicated Akai MKP49 controller for simple Logic tasks.

There's a live guitar/bass/drum rig ready to go that can be played direct to the Mac and monitored in cans (apartment recording 101) so the neighbors don't get their panties in a bunch. This room can now support a live jam with Me at the controls, a drummer, guitarist, bassist, and 2nd keyboardist.

I'm THRILLED! (and I'm all done my Christmas shopping, so I can relax and just enjoy my mini-van studio) ... when I'm not working to pay for all this! lol

Just wanted to share my latest setup. For those interested - my live rig is mostly guitar based, these days. I use a drum machine, tracks, or just strum and sing. Easy setup - fun for me, and versatile for the wanna be singers in my audience.

Hmmmm ... not sure why it chose to show just the one picture. There's 4.

Congrats Dave! Well organized and versatile setup for sure! Wow - lots of neat toys for sure! Enjoy camping out in that "Musician's Heaven"!

I am embarking on my first Expansion Pack install on the SX900...did it once before on the old S910.... this one will take a while I believe...

Have fun!

Sorry, not to hijack Dave’s thread, but you shouldn’t find it all that difficult Randy.

Dave, nice setup. Are you using the triple play to drive sounds from the SX900?

Hi Dave,
great find, you aught to post it on a seperate thread. I imagine there might be a few of us who have never used Yem before.

John was asking for a help thread for our SX’s.
