I've spent $10,000 on a home entertainment system... to
watch Vin fucking Diesel.

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.

My problems with it are..

everything in one box.

1. if anything goes wrong I'm up shit street until I can it
fixed.

2. Bluey Purple doesn't work with any of my outfits.

3. I need a 9 octave keyboard at the very least.

I bet it's the kind of paintjob that shifts colour depending
on how the light hits too :/

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
