Since the title of this thread is Lionstracs, does anyone know what Dom has been working away on. I see talk of a number of devices but no real indication as to what they are.

I hope for his sake that he is taking on the workstation and V-Machine / Receptor world.

there new products coming like:

-a MS with 61 keys
-one rack module with GIGA sounds
keyboards with linuxsampler and GIGA sounds only in 76 and 86 keys.
-one rack module like V-Machine for running VST and GIGA sounds(this was my suggestion but domenico had plans for to)
and.....

Just pickup the 4 GROOVE model cases..
Now have to paint and graphics...then i'm ready to display and sell it.

For the Stages pianos, Vasio synth and Rack need a couple of weeks...
tested also the new Atom Dualcore, with the Sata300 can play really easy more than 250 stereo voice!
Bosendorfer 290 ( 1680Mb ) under Persistent mode, ready to play in 0.5 sec...NOT bad at all. of course with the possibility to load how many giga sounds library that you like.
Not sure BUT I think can be hard time for Clavia and Korg with the Stages pianos..

Do not tell me that they can compete with the Giga Library....like the Vienna or Garritan..

Anyway, coming out with about 10 new products is really NOT easy ( 10 NOT one... )

My gradnpa always used to say:
A fast female dog always gives birth to blind baby dogs...so, take it easy.

10 new products ? Flipping heck that's a lot to take on at the same time.
I look forward to see what you have been cooking up. So far it sounds very interesting.

James

The best one that I like more is the new Vasio Synth, 49 keys, Black and RED, really COMPACT: 69X34X10 CM!!
Someone there already saw the pictures..
I will try to sell for only 990 Euro.. end user price..

lol... now your just teasing me.
That sounds really exciting.

Can you post an image ? I'd really love to see that.

James.

I will post the images only when I have full assembled...
Patience.... ( I had a lot too...)

Sorry, I thought you had a photo of one finished when you mentioned someone else already saw it. No worries, I can wait.

Well, that MIGHT account for why you get tired of the repetition!

There's nothing to stop you copying one of the variations that you DO use, and make some small changes to it...

You can't really blame the arranger for sounding the same all the time if you only use 1/2 of the patterns. Oh, and less we forget, you are using an arranger with only two fills (and a break fill) where many of us are using arrangers with six or seven. Do you use the velocity to style feature? You can get some nice subtle variation out of vel-switched kits and sounds with that. Multipads can add a LOT of variation to a sound. The sampler, used with these, can extend your palette almost indefinitely. Trigger loops, sparse patterns with extra drum notes, anything you want.

And, I don't know if you ever tried the Cover Tools much on the Roland's, but here is a one button complete re-orchestration of the entire style...

Arrangers provide diversity if you MAKE them provide it. And limit what they do to the absolute minimum you HAVE to have, and the rest is up to your playing! That can be as different as you want to make it!
