Yesterday i was at a party, and there was a one man band entertaining... the girl (yes she was)didn't look very prety but her music actually rocked big time.

But she was using 3 keyboards in her set-up. Yamaha S90ES, Korg PA1X, Roland V-synth. and 3 rackmount modules.

Now i have seen a lot of entertainers that use 2 keyboards on stage but its been a long time ago (Analogue age) since i saw someone using 3.

How many do you people use?

Just the one, live...

If I had the back for it, I might drag my K2500 along for a super first call gig (if they got roadies ) as well as the G70, otherwise...

I use 3 on some occasional gigs but mostly 2...on the 3 Key's setup I use a

Roland FP4 Piano, Yamaha S900 and and an Evolution MC-461c controler running Native Insrtuments B4.

Used to use 4 keyboards years ago and I mean 'years ago'...you can tell the age by what I was using....anybody guess what period in time it was ?

Fender Rhodes 73 Mk2
Clavinet D6
Korg 700s Synth
Logan String Melody

Early 70's?

The most i've used is 7 Keyboards at the same time, i mean around me and used all of them.
I used them few times like that but i usually never play with less then 4 Keyboards. Its mostly a
PA arranger, Prophecy always there and there is always a Motif or Triton/M3 with Casio CZ101.
And thats how most of us play our music.

One. Nord C1. Sometimes I drag the pedals (PK7a) along, but usually not. Tried triggering a SonicCell from the lower manual, but the Nord makes a lousy controller. A live guitarist sounds a lot better anyway. Limits the types of gigs you can do but at this stage of my life, that's a good thing.

I use now 2 keyboards, the T3 and a PA500, years ago, Hammond X66, Prophet 5, Roland synth(Dont remember the model), Korg KR55a & KR55b, when I did not have a drummer.
I change several units as time went by, among them some synths too.
Korg Poly 61, Roland E 20, Pro E, etc.

The more i think about it, the more i am impressed by this ladies setup...

But the thing that really caught me, was the Roland V-synth, she seemed like to have an incredible controll over her solo's using all the controllers like Dbeam and v-link...

I think a solo synth like V-synth could add a lot to a setup consisting out of arranger and V-synth.

That V-Synth is a beast! Especially the GT version.

One.

Pasadoble: let's have a stab at 1973.
