What's the purpose of people posting and then later (on 2nd thought) deleting what was said? It only causes reader confusion and subsequent posting respondants to become frustrated to see the purpose and direction of the thread taken away. Better to ammend one's post with an explanation instead of deleting it with only a dot "." left to remind us that a posting originally existed. - Scott

Come-on Scott, tell us how you really feel.

Scott ... Maybe it's my age, but I just don't see why anyone would let stuff like that bother them so ... I don't think what is being done has anything to do with other people's postings, or with whatever else goes on here ...
I love this place, because what doesn't interest me, I ignore, and what does interest me, I participate in ... but unless someone is taking a serious personal attack against me, my family or one of my friends, I am not going to let it 'get to me' ...
People can do whatever they want to be a distraction, and the rest of us, including Donny and Fran a lot of the time, can ignore it and have meaningful conversation and trading of information ...

Scott I only do that once in a while to censor something I think may make some crybabies unhappy..

Fasten your seat belts!!!!!!

I can see this one going to about 200 posts, surpasssing "do you really need a Tyros2.

Jerry

Ok, touche. I've done the same as well then.

Scott

Scott,

As I told you DNJ is a man with a mission - to become the top poster. Just let him win the game. Ya know he can beat you overnight.

Smile.

George

For me bottom line is both Scott and Donny have given me some valuable input on questions I've had recently. I've had conversations with them recently outside the zone. Both have been gentlmen no question about that. Everyone has their own opinion and their will always be some nut smashing whether it's here or at the office, shop or wherever you make your living and with that

.. hey... with this one, I'm only 4590 behind him !!! ........

BTW there are manyy things I loved about the Midjay....if only they would incorporate the MJ's features into a lightweight keyboard w/speakers & a bit bigger display.....(sigh)

Touche` again not even you are safe now scott your in my 400GB data base too
I save everything

Donny your prayers may be answered in the upcoming SD1 plus replacement which is currently in production.

T42.....stop teasing me OMG Please please please...........I also heard this thru the grapevine....should be a killer unit if Aj has anything to do with it!!
Thanx for the info buddy!

Donny don't tell me you are already getting fed up with the PSR3000 and thinking about a new Ketron when it's out.
A new toy for you to demo soon

I LOVE THE PSR3000 for most of my musical needs......but like Ive always said ....
my eyes are always open for the future

AJ says they are working on a new one but not for 2 more
years..not in production yet. so sd1+ will remain flaghip for now...

Dnj, what was the problem using a controller with the
midjay? I may be swapping my Gen Pro S for a dicover/midjay combo..as a non-tekkie, will I encounter problems
using the midjay live as an arranger?




------------------

Thats not a bad thing the SD-1 is an excellent arranger ..but we'll see what turns up down the road....thanx for the info. Next time I see AJ we'll talk.

Depsite the bad and sometimes personal attacks, please keep level headed and stay on this forum.

In time, we'll all need the expertise given from the major contributors who are so willing to share their knowledge. I, for one, appreciate learning and growing from expert advise.

Hi....The MJ works very well with a controller KB like the Roland A37 or any midi connected KB...depending on what the controller features are will relegate how navigation is controlled between the two units & how comfortable you are using it in a performance scenario to make the MJ do what you want to... The MJ is a little less featured as an arranger but has enough to make it play styles with no problem...its weakness lies a bit in its style editing but not something you cant do on a pc if you want to really get in deep.....remember the MJ also has many other super kool useful modes for live play also, SMF, SFX, Wav, Mp3, HD recording, Lyrics, Mic/Vocalizer all in a 7lb unit! Best part, you can play ALL Modes simultaneously also and fade in & out via separately controlled SLIDERS. Styles & Sounds are terrific, in fact I recorded my last CD project using only the MJ. Its easy to get used to the OS, you can load & remove all data via USB also. If your into mixing it up musically & doing it with mucho flexibility in different formats besides just playing the MJ is for you....read more here:

As much as I might dislike losing the ability to edit my postings (for typos & grammar editing), this is one sacrifice I'm more than willing to accept for the sake of perserving the integrity of exisitng threads, and preventing people from later, drastically editing the meaning of, or completely deleting the contents of their posting altogether. Fortunately, free online browser toolbar spell checking utilities such as Google Toolbar will help to eliminate typos.

Nigel. Many thanks for your quick response. - Scott

My response on another thread -

I fully agree with the need for people to think more about what they post.
The only problem I have with not being able to edit at all is that sometimes I hit the 'submit' too quickly or even accidently - typos get through, perhaps the thoughts haven't been completed, OR after seeing it 'live (even after reading before submitting) I realize I've said something that might be taken the wrong way ...
And while I understand the desire (need?) to have the complete thread intact, if someone has written something they need to edit out, it probably wasn't worth being there to begin with ...

I, for one, am not quite that ready to give up my editing capabilities....

t.

Tony: The only purpose of locking the ability to edit our postings is to prevent the FLAGRANT ABUSE of this practice by the few. I'm certain that Nigel, if you contact him, would be more than amenable to editing or completely removing your posting for you, if and when desired. - Scott

One other thought on the subject of editing... and this is especially for Nigel:

I wish there were tools available here to make adding URL links and pictures easier so it wasn't necessary to write out the UBB or HTML codes manually. All other discussion forums I know of have such tools, and a preview function would also help prevent errors. As it is I often have to edit my posts after they are posted not to change the contents but to fix minor errors that screw up links or pix. So if editing is done away with I would appreciate either some easy-to-use UBB functions for adding links and pix and/or a preview function so that posts can be checked before committing. Thanx.

I've seen a few of your responses to my posts before and after your edits where you censored yourself when I didn't agree with your opinion on something. Very dis-tasteful and classless. It's very nice that you think your fellow s-zoners are just a bunch of crybabies. I really appreciate that.

you are welcome!!

Aw, being the biggest blowhard ain't all it's cracked up to be! I should know !
