New Studio View ...

I reorganized things around the old homestead. My living room was WAAY to big for one guy, who seldom entertains guests, and my studio room was the exact opposite, soooooo I flipped 'em!
Now, my main living area has all my toys, right where I can get at them, and it's next to the kitchen!
Just puttin' it out there for you guys who (like me) love to look at gear.

Very neat and clean, Dave. Mine is filled with sailing gear right now, but by next week, all that stuff will be on the boat. And, with any kind of luck, Carol will be well again, and I'll be on the boat and point the bow south. Damned this was a long, cold winter - I need palm trees and turquoise colored water. And, of course, temperatures equal to or higher than my age. The older I get, the colder I get.

Great way to decorate your living room, Dave.

How is it possible to have such a neat studio? You Must have another room filled with cases, cartons, stands etc etc

Closets, and a basement storage bin! LOL

Great pics but why are you selling the Rhodes?

Fran made me buy his Cube 100s, and the SV-1 sounds perfect in them. It's just a redundant, guilty pleasure at this point.

Dave:

My envy "runneth over! That is one impressive layout. Proud of you for making a great decision. Well done!

Best, ----West Mayberry Dave

At least you got two cubes for stereo.

Autopan is not exactly the same thing ... but you knew that. It's what makes a Rhodes sound like a Rhodes.

What I don't see is … where is the PA4x? and when did you get the Hammond? Did you trade the couch in on the Hammond?

The Cubes look good under any keyboard!! They will outlive me and probably you too.

For folks wondering... I still have a pair..

A pair of what?

Gary

Dave...Nice studio! But, where is the little “Drumbuddy”?

JM

Great set-up Dave ... enjoy ...
thanks for sharing this

answers:

1) The 4x is on stage. Never comes in the house, unless I have to update, or program it.

2) The Beat Buddy is in the process of moving onto my pedalboard - pics soon!

Dave, did you update the 4X to version 3.1 yet?
Some interesting changes and additions. . .

I did ... I think. LOL
I'll check tonight, when I get to work.

You have to have 3.0 first, then 3.1!

OOOOPS! I forgot to check. My bad.

Looks great UD, I see you have the PA900 (great keyboard, I have one too), wasn't you interested in the PA1000 ?

Yup - my 900 is a functional arranger, harmonizer, bass machine ... but the keys in the top half of of the keybed have some "issues" lol - every 4th key is DEAD! chromatically from top down, you can play 3 notes, then SILENT, 3 more, then SILENT ... and so on. So, on top of the Rhodes, it serves as a bass machine, drum machine, recorder, arranger .... anything from middle C-ish down is 100%, but in it's current state, it's unusable (and unSELLABLE) as a full keyboard. (sad face)
Maybe someday, it'll be important to me to fix it, but for now - it's very useble as-is.

Don, I just checked - it's v.3 ... I'll look into the upgrade. Any advice? Worth it?

They seem to have tweaked some sounds. Can't tell too much though.
It's 3.0.1.
