I recently bought a Maschine, although at the moment it just sits there baffling me.
I need to get it all set up so that it feeds off my enormous sample collection and becomes my goto beatz maekin' tool.
JD800....niiieece |

| bought a pair of 121s. Got two used c414 xls (the gold ones) as well. I have a pretty sexy mic collection for someone that doesn't record. |

That's where I got my ground-loop-isolator. It's ing epic, all the choons I'm going to be cranking out with it. Such a bad-ass piece of kit and versatile as hell, too! |

I just bought a new laptop for music production (17-in Dell i5/8GB/750GB) and I went shopping for a compact MIDI controller yesterday with the intention of buying an AKAI, Novation, or possibly an M-Audio. Every one of them felt like a flimsy-ass over-priced, Chinese-made plastic POS and the keyboard action on all of them sucked donkey balls. I was getting totally disillusioned, when I noticed that they had the Arturia "The Player" hybrid synth/controllers in stock. I opened one up and was blown away by the construction on this thing! It's built like a tank, has solid wood side panels and aluminum housing and the keyboard action is almost as nice as my Virus'. And, to top it all off, it was far cheaper ($149!) than the other garbage controllers I was looking at. It's also USB powered (no AC or batteries needed), and the included synth player is actually kinda cool, although very limited in this particular model.
All of the buttons and knobs are dual-mode (using the Shift key) and mapping them to my software was a piece of cake. I'm not sure why this keyboard doesn't get honorable mention when people are asking which MIDI controller to buy, but Arturia wins hands-down in the compact controller market IMO. Hell, I might buy the 61-key version now.

Because some people will buy their MIDI keyboad for the sole purpose of sending MIDI signals to their DAW and not buying 100 dollar extra for wood side panels. |

Did you even bother to read my post, or did you just not comprehend any of it? |

Oh, I see it now, your post was meant sarcastic like EddieZilker's was. |

No. Mine was definitely sarcastic - really self-deprecation - but cryo's isn't. Honestly, cryophonik's a great guy. Cut him some slack. His first post in this thread definitely doesn't deserve any derision. It's a small piece of his kit complimenting an already formidable studio that he's very capable of using.
@ cryo: I've been wanting to try out the Arturia keyboard and accompanying software, for a while. If you decide to upgrade to the full suite deal, be sure and start a thread about it. And I know you will. |
