From Istanbul to Savannah / Finally, a new rig

After six weeks back in the USSA and multiple exchanges I think I have my best setup yet. Totally minimal with a Casio PXS3000 and a pair of JBL305lsr monitors. Total cost $1000. The action on the Casio is buttery and, surprisingly, more fun for me to play compared to the previous Kawai MP11se at thrice the price. It also has Bluetooth (tho not over midi, so no more need to jack the iPad to the speakers for playback) The JBLs, tho last year’s model, are great sounding with a big sweet spot for listening. I prefer them to the Mackie MR524s I had in Turkey. So, nothing to stop me now but my own mind.

  • Looks slick and efficient.
    I doubt that your mind will be of any hindrance.
    🤙🏻

  • Nice setup!

    What is going on with the base of those stands?! It's messing with my head, like those pictures of faces with extra pairs of eyes.

    Looking good.

    I need to test drive that Casio PXS3000. My hands are killing me. I need a lighter
    weight than the Casio PX-560. You also have 5 levels of sensitivity... you will benefit from
    that. I only have one level of sensitive: "highly insensitive". I band the keys and my hands are
    killing me. And I'm having short term memory issues. I have to scroll to the top to see who
    I'm ranting at.

    Please record something for us to ignore. Then make a Bandcamp product we can ignore.
    After all, why should you be any difference than any other talented musician that slums here on the "World Famous ABF". NOTE: Not to be confused with "Alcohol, Bull Shit and Firearms"
    which is a social club for White Gentleman. I don't think we'd be welcome there. Socialists.

    Great to see you on the 1st Page tho'. It's been slow without you're "create" polls:

    "Secrets of the IOS Jazz Master Debaters" or some such BS.
    "Is Jazz Ready for the New IOS World Order?"
    "Improvising Like the great Lennie Tristano" and it involves something so hard no one can write programs for it

    Your set up reminds me of something... not sure what.

    I have to use headphones so the Monitors are in storage. Did you loose your audio interface or don't need it with USB Audio. We'll never hear you sing.
    Thank you.

  • @Liquidmantis, very observant! Here’s what happened... I ordered these speaker stands thru Amazon. They came without any hardware. When I complained they sent me another pair without having to return the first order. So I used those bases to enhance the stability of the new set. It’s on carpet, as you can see, so they are a little wobbly. Hoping to have a ceramic floor in a few months.

    @CracklePot, thanks. I am in awe of the technology at its reductionistic best.

    @McD. Yeah, I think you might love the Casio feel. The 1000 model is $599, two hundred cheaper. No mod wheel or knobs, tho, and no fun arranger features like rhythm and a bunch of instruments. I did leave the interface in Istanbul. Couldn’t access the Casio’s patches anyway cause no midi or audio in.

    As for singing, I might surprise you yet. I can record directly into the iPad using Harmonizer and maybe even MicSwap Pro. Got some geezer rap going on the Why I Love Rap thread. Might start with that.

  • @LinearLineman Nice clean set-up. Reminded me of:

    Higgins: You served with Col. Donovan in the OSS, didn't you, sir?
    Mr. Wabash: I sailed the Adriatic with a movie star at the helm. It doesn't seem like much of a war now, but it was. I go even further back than that. Ten years after The Great War, as we used to call it. Before we knew enough to number them.
    Higgins: You miss that kind of action, sir?
    Mr. Wabash: No, I miss that kind of clarity.

    I had to Google that one.

    Three Days of the Condor: Cliff Robertson and John Houseman in this context.

    I really started to take Robert Redford seriously with this movie. Faye Dunaway too.

    I don't think Sidney Pollack made any bad movies. This was a great one.

    What triggered these lines? Oh... the action! Duh. Should work well with Drambot.

  • The hype around the MP11se is surprising. From reading the specs it must be the ultimate hammer action keyboard, yet when comparing it to a C7X (which is what I had the chance to play on for a while) it's miles away. The MP11 feels muddy in comparison. It emulates the bounce-back when playing staccato quite well but "normal" playing just felt weird and indirect to me.

  • Lookin good!

    It's a movie that's stayed with me over the years, started out as a small passing stranger, but is now a full blown brother in my book of self-reference. Funny how things come back around. At the turn of 2000 I thought fondly of films like The Conversation, The Parallax View and this one as part of that passing seventies paranoia, decidedly old school. Today, and concerning tomorrow, they feel perfectly prescient....

  • Thanks @McD, I missed @JohnnyGoodyear’s ref also. We must be waning in the braining.
    Thanks @kinkujin Hopecall is good for you.

    Have you started or do you need time to get your chops back? They way you play, who will know? My cat plays like that but with smaller hands so lots of little tight shit clusters. You'd like it. He does have 4 hands effectively so MIDI recordings that get printed out are unplayable one 1 person. It works best for 2 small children with IQ's over 150. I put out ads
    for children but no one loves esoteric music. It's the parents that refuse to participate.
