Live synth setups - need help! - 04/02/07 08:07 AM
Hello. I'm writing to inquire about people's opinions on keyboard setups for playing live. I've been just recording at home for a long time, but may be playing keys in a prog rock band, so I'll need to learn about live playing quickly. Right now all I have is a 88-key Kurz, but I'd like a more portable 88-key. Maybe a controller and module would be better? Any suggestions?
What is the best way to achieve quick access to lots of sounds? Also, how do people usually change sounds? Do you set them up on different midi channels, and then just change midi channels while you play? Is there some other way? If I have more than one keyboard, I guess I need a mixer to plug them both into an amp? I have basically no technical knowledge about this, so if anyone can suggest good resources (books, websites) I'd really appreciate it!!
Thanks,
Rich
