I'm glad you're having fun.

I'm talking about the controller keyboard, attached to the Receptor(in the rack)on the top tier, and the KN7000 on the bottom tier.

Understood Bernie, I have a modest controller keyboard, I use it with my KN7000 to trigger a different solo sound from the KN7. It?s just like an organ with two keyboards.
Hmmmm, see you next week, John C. ---Jam Time---

Hi Bill,
sorry to get off topic,
wondering if you can help, as you appear to be knowledgable on computers.
Unfortunately a Receptor is out of my price range currently, but I am after a new laptop.
Problem is I'm totally confused. A couple of years ago I bought a dell with pentium 4 ,512mb memory , 3.02 ghz.

The current affordable ones appear to have centrino processors, or some have core duo but only running at 1.66, 1.73ghz , 667mhz fsb with 2 mb cache.
Have laptop processors actually gotten slower , or am I missing something. I had been thinking of maybe getting Garritons orchestra but it requires 2.4 ghz or better.

best wishes

A few things you should remember when using VST Instruments.

Hello Rikki
You are quite correct, Clock Speed no longer relates to processor speed, and it was started quite a few years ago by Cirus, follow this link which will give you all the information you need. http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/
The 3 GHz CPU in your Dell will be fine, just upgrade your memory to as much as the Dell will allow. (I recommend 1 GB minimum, ideally 2 GB)
Hope this helps.
BTW. If you require any further help on this subject you can email me directly, (Just click the email link) or if you have Skype you can give me a call, when I am online. My Skype name is: abacusks1
The only thing you have to remember is that I am located on the opposite side of the world to you.

Bill

Hi Bill,
thank you so much for the link. Unfortunately I can't upgrade my Dell, it's no longer working ( I think it got overheated, after I accidently left it switched on) it sort of went into meltdown, and I haven't had a chance to see if it's repairable. I'm actually planning on replacing, so your link will come in really handy.
Thank you for the offer of help. I'll do a bit of reading and see if I can make sense of it.

best wishes
rikki
