Virtual Arranger - 04/04/06 06:49 AM
I have decided after my disspointment with Mediastation, and finding the VST options in Wersi's OAS not good enough to my liking to go to teh SOftware side. With a setup of
-OMB
-88 key masterkeyboard with as many knobs,peddals and sliders and controll keys.
-Software sequenzer
-VST plugin host
-VST instruments
-vst sampler
First i wanna use this system as a homestudion and later on i want it to replace my current system as a one man entertainer on the road
So here are my questions.
1. Will OMB(One Man BAnd) sattisfy me in the style department. I want to be able to have good out of the box styles and good own made/edited styles. Next to that i wonder how good i can controll OMB with a masterkeyboard. I have no experience with OMB whatso ever.
2. I have an organ background, but have fallen inlove with weighted hammer action piano keyboards and piano playing style. I'd love to have a natural feeling keys with preferably aftertouch. A halfdamper pedal is a must. which keyboard with or without sounds could you Advise to me (currently using roland RD100)
3. Which sequencer software could you advise me. I only have experience with old cubase on my ST1040 ATari, and currently use the sequencer on my GEM WX2.
4. What is the best program to order all my VSt-pluggin s and sounds, so i can choose them with one buttonpush.
5. What is the best SAmpler/sample player to use as base of my soundsystem. NI Kontakt, Steinberg Hallion, Propellerhead reason or Tascam gigastudio (which is supposed to run on a sepperate computer)And why do you liek that one?
6. I really like most Steinberg and Native instruments VST's (these i heard at the musikmesse) what other VST's can you advise me. I really like virtual instruments. please tell me what you like and why in the VST department
7. What are the best effect generating VST's? I have no experience with these yet.
8. Does anyone know a software vocoder, or should i use a hardware one?
I'll be happy with all in put that you guys can give me. I play at parties mainly (2 or 3 times a month) and play everything from polka to country to modern Deejay music. Also have some jazzy ballads on my repertoire and even Andre rieu orchestra like performancess and big band stuff.
