Yes, people record notes from analog synths and then map them to a keyboard, as in Kontakt or on a Motif. I must have phrased that poorly, because the concept is common enough.fmr wrote:They are using a computer to trigger samples from analog hardware?jopy wrote: I would also note that these bands that use software live are wealthy enough to have computer techs on tour with them, so some of the reliability issues some of us fear aren't there. I know that some are also not using soft synths per se, but rather are triggering samples from analog hardware.
Yeah, for real, because musicians do have computers crash on them all the time, especially when playing through a DAW (as is necessary for either ACE or Zebra, which I really like as instruments). It's happened to me in practice sessions more than once, while the drummer and bassist roll their eyes and then jam while I fiddle around with rebooting my computer.yeah cause using computers is rocket science.
