I understand that you may have been kidding and all that, but seriously, anytime someone says something interesting, or thoughtfull, or usefull, 20 idiots have to talk smack before someone actually contributes. Don't mean to seem like I was talking shit to you.
Sorry :S

not any more, sorry.
slightly on topic. this thing doesn't come with any stuff on it, does it? so $ 1999 is just a starting price.

2. Bluey Purple doesn't work with any of my outfits.
3. I need a 9 octave keyboard at the very least.

Exactly. There's no point in looking daft with 200 vst's going mental really loud.

not even showing a Vin Diesel flick in the background could remedy that

Maybe it'd work for a few seconds but that's about it. As you stated before, Dicky Devine is going to burn it at some point anyway. I'd prefer to keep that 1999 dollars in my pocket and listen to BIMYC.

It comes with cubase, a bunch of freeware vst, a couple other recording and mastering programs and a few gigs worth of samples.

I wonder if these open synths feature dual monitor support. That would be sweet for live gigs actually. In addition to the on board display have 2 flat, touch screen monitors rigged up to it and have different modules displayed in each. Also, I wonder if they could allow for more than one pointer active at a time, so where a mouse can't be on two different places at once your fingers or a stylus could be manipulation multiple knobs, faders etc. if one didn't want to deal with mapping a hardware controller.

That would definately quell that argument against computers as musical tools. Two mice pointers at once...

I have yet to purchase a knob panel midi controller, but one thing I think about it, how do you remember what you have each knob mapped to? I mean, it would change from song to song what VSTs were being used etc. Maybe once I used one it might make more sense, but it seems like it would be nice if there was an LCD display that was able to show what knobs were mapped to what controls and so forth.

Personally, when I use a midi controller, I just use the autoassign feature that comes in most software.
But most controllers come with presets that you can switch from, so you don't need to worry about getting confused. Right now, I use an X-station, which has dedicated knobs for practically every function of a synthesizer, so it just map my software to the standard functions of my xstation in the most logical fashion.
But if you are looking for a controller that takes the brainwork out of remembering your patches, then you can get that swank new novation ReMote 25 sl, that automatically reads your instruments parameters, maps them to the knobs accordingly, and even has an LCD screen to list them for you.Lazy_Sex

I'll check that out. I would want to use it to control more than just a softsynth, though. I would want some knobs controlling synths, but then maybe other knobs controlling effects parameters on various audio tracks in ableton. Maybe that isn't something that can really be done I don't know. I'll have to look into it more.

Probly not if you have it going out in USB, but if you having it going out through midi, then you probly can. Just make sure you have your midi CC# that are assigned to other synthsizers turned off so that it doesn't screw up anything. But that depends on what synthesizer you are using, because most don't allow you to change cc#'s
