Hi ,
went out shopping yesterday morning with hubby for our once a week breakfast treat, also had to exchange a PS3 game that wasn't working correctly & ended up walking out with a new dell quad core i7 laptop. wow
I'd been looking at replacing my netbook
( which is starting to fall to pieces,) with something a little bit bigger.
Salesman convinced hubby I needed something a lot bigger & better. Who am I to argue haahaa

Software arranger system , I'm back

best wishes
Rikki

Congrats!

Let us know how the soft arranger is going.

Hi Rikki,

Congrats on the laptop! I no nothing of software arrangers, hope it works for you. Will you be using the Ketron SD2 or something else for your sound engine?

I wonder what the final solution was with you PA800? I saw your post abt the display failure.

I have been Korg free for abt six months. Sold the PA2X in March.

Currently I'm awaiting the arrival of the Audya 4 which I ordered last Saturday! Should be here in early September. I have high expectations; hope I'm not disappointed.

Good Luck with your new setup, let us know how it goes.

Don P

Sweet!! Glad to hear your not the arguing type. Congratulations Rikki.



Don I sold my Pa2xpro about 6 months ago as well. I'd like to hear your comments once you get the Audya vs. the Korg.

Rikki, I am so excited that you are moving back to a software based arranger system. It is the only alternative that makes any sense.

Once again I might have at least one friend!!!

You are not alone Frank!

I am actually still gathering the hardware for my system build. It does get expensive when you are picking top of the line stuff, but I am very confident that it will be worth it. Can't wait to say goodbye to the big 3.

Why not the mediastation?

Hi Hitman,
it's going to take me a bit of time to get my stuff loaded.
Hope I can remember how to do it. haahaa

I'm just starting off simple with soundfonts for style parts & hopefully build it up from there.

It's been well over 2 years since I last ran my system. My netbook isn't really capable, & my old Dell laptop, became too dodgy to bother wasting time on it.

Anyway it's going to be interesting.

Hi Don,
unfortunately my SD2 died, about 6 months before my PA800's screen died.
I had a bad run. In the 20 plus years I've had keyboards, these are the only 2 that have had a problem, so I suppose I can't really complain. The guy who fixed my Korg couldn't fix the SD2, he had a look at it and worked out the board would probably have to be replaced. I might still get it checked out by a Ketron agent one day, just in case he was wrong.

I'm still keeping my PA800, though I probably won't spend as much time on it messing round with styles. Instead of converting I'll do that for my softsynth Yammie setup instead. The Korg will make a good controller though.

Congratulations on the Audya 4. Is that the module version??

For me if only Ketron had the same great style editing function a Korg has, I would never have sold my SD1 Plus, and I'd definately consider another Ketron, especially a module.

best wishes
Rikki

Thanks Stephen,
I thought you might have sold the Korg, hadn't heard from you on the forum for quite a while.
Are you still using a PSR s??
or have you swapped over to a T3.

best wishes
Rikki
