mg33, my buddies band used to have a really good girl keyboardist. Kinda the same music. They are the Assembly. Now I think they got a guy.
Next time I talk to Gary I'll ask what she's doing now. She was really good.

Haha, Kona, one of my friends said the key to success was getting a hot girl keyboard player, and we'd have it made!

JazX,
I don't know too much about that whole electronics realm - but if I were looking to get something simple to use at home for composing stuff, is there anything you could suggest?
Keyboard? Midi controller + software?

I can play a mean tambourine.

well, it's been said before, but I would get something from M-Audio and then maybe Propellerheads' Reason 3.0 and Ableton Live! to mix it. Up to you and your budget bro.
good luck

dumb question - but you essentially create sounds with software, and each key is a different pitch of those sounds?
Or...each key is whatever you assign to it?
Or both/either/or.

hehee
ok mg33, yeah essentially you can play a soft snyth that has many virtually instruments and many, many effect units and you can trigger those sounds via a MIDI keyboard. you can change octaves in real-time, etc. yep very versatile dude.

you are basically playing notes and the sequencer records them while you do it, you can slice those notes up anyway you see fit, very much like vector but for music

Cool, thanks. Never really known how all those gadgets work, I stick to six strings and my throat.
- JazX0
you'd be good with it though if you can play guitar
- mg330
I'm hoping so. Don't have too much money to spend and just want something at home to get the general ideas out.

download the trial version and connect a MIDI keyboard
