I've been thinking - 05/16/06 12:52 PM
Yeah, I know another post..I don't expect a lot of comments to it , but maybe some helpful ideas..
After the enlightened "newer is not always better" results, I have come to the conclusion...maybe nothing is better out there then I already have[honestly].
Sounds , I am content....Keyboard feel and operation, more than content[G1000]...Harmonizer, I don't think I can find a better one[DisCover5]..
I think I am going to give up on the built in MP3 player on a keyboard that I will enjoy playing..
What does this all mean? Like a lot of us, I like new toys, but I am going to try refraining buying any new hardware keyboards..
I think my interest[toy wise] will be a custom built laptop that will meet the demands of the music world..Yes it will still be a PC, and a Pentium, but I am looking to go with the fastest CPU, the most ram, and the fastest hard drive..USB 2 and firewire a must..I would like this built in a small package with a 12" screen..
I am interested in mapping out my own sound fonts using the best wavs I can find.
Actually if I can pull it off, I would like to have AJ burn a new Eprom of these sound fonts for a special bank , that will reside in my G1000.
The laptop handles MP3 and wav playback and recording better than any hardware based unit I know...so this is the way to continue for me..
Right now my ideal set up would result in carrying two keyboards..G1000 and DisCover5..plus the laptop.
All fit nicely on my Apex stand..
Any comments pro or nay are welcomed..
