the gigging musician

[bluedad]

After saying never again,
I've been offered the job in a band that has the house gig about half an hour from where I live. (Ironically, it's the same club I played at with the last band I ever played with)
Typical gig from hell, it's mainly southern rock,country tunes, and stuff from the 60's and 70's.
So, I'm looking at getting some equipment to cover the sounds.
motif, triton are the only ones I've heard about lately..don't know what's out there, haven't looked in years.
suggestions?

I actually misread the thread title as the giggling musician!
I thought it was gonna be like a tame mix of The Laughing Policeman.

hey bluedad, the nord electro has some pretty damn fine organ, fender, wurlitzer, clavinet and piano sounds...no synths, whistles&bells but a great buddy for gigging cause it´s superlight to carry..

dunno, if you´re into that kind of sounds..

Congrats, bluedad! I really miss playing live. I would also check out the Kurzweil K2661 ( the shrunken version of the K2600 ) These are great gigging keyboards with all the "bread and butter" sounds, plus some extreme effects with the KDFX onboard. However, they are a bitch (to me) to get to know well, but the programming possibilities are endless. About $2k in the US.

Hope you have fun!

[Landphil]

Let me rephrase that . . . . they're not really a bitch to get to know, they're a bitch to program from scratch. Kurz's have a mode called "setup" which enables you to call up the patches, key splits, FX, modulation routing, etc. for a certain song with one button push. I wish I could have afforded one when I was playing live.

[xoxos]

can't you use vst?? must be a way.. it's what you know, right.. albeit clavia's pitch stick is imo choice musical artifact.

thassa long frickin setlist

Get yourself a laptop and a Doepfer LMK4+!

I would search high and low for an old MKS-20 piano module.

Aye...it's an old one, to be sure. But after all these years it is still my favorite stage piano sound for two reasons...the wonderfully warm, fat and expressive rhodes sounds...and an acoustic piano sound that actually *plays* well...and will absolutely smash through a Les Paul wall.

There are certainly more realistic sounding samples for acoustic piano, but none have had the pure expressiveness and playability, the sheer dynamic punch and chutzpah of the MKS-20 when the action is hot on stage.

Some piano samples can sound fairly killer in the studio, but when you take them on stage they sound like your playing through a straw.

I always really felt sorry for the bloke on keyboard...wanking away for all he was worth, sweat flying, really digging his monitors...and all you heard out front is this ratty little piano going *dink*...*dink*...*dink*....
