New gear!

Just got these.... I've wanted an EBow for while. Would like to modify it to work better on the Stick..we'll see.

I bought the Arturia stuff because I wanted a smaller MIDI controller keyboard. I really like this keyboard...built well and so far works great. The software, well, neat concept but needs to mature some.

Nice! Is it the studio or standard version?

I have never played one of those Bucketheads, how is it with the long neck?

I was looking at Gibsons with coil tapping and I looked at that and the traditional pro, those bucketheads are pretty rare though. I couldn't find anywhere to have a real look at one.

The pedal rocks. X/Y/Z + rotation per pedal, and tons of programmability.

However, I need to figure out the standalone mode and it's limitations: The editor they made uses MAX/MSP, and for whatever reason, it uses 858MB of RAM! Where have all the real programmers gone?! My Ableton WITH Max4Live doesn't use anything near that!!

Just downloaded the software, it uses the same stupid amount of ram here as well!

I tried loading the mfx file into max as well but it doesn't seem to run, probably some form of protection. It does use less ram though!

I'd say it's built very well, with the caveat that I haven't had it for more than a few days, and not travelled yet. It's very thin, and very light, so it doesn't need to be built like a tank as is the case of the FCB1010. Along what Carlo said, it's more likely to bounce than have to take the impact on the chin. And it has a little give to it. But there's really no moving parts, the 'pedals' are SOLID rubber. I should note it can slide into a rack in an empty slot, or it is less than 3U high, so I put it in my 4U portable rack flat against the other gear, then close the case.

Each pad probably has 4 pressure sensors (1 @ each corner). Because of that, and the rubber pad construction, the only drawback I can think of (other than the editor) is the fact that it's really helpful to wear shoes (or something with a more flat surface) to take full advantage of the various axis that are available. Playing with the ball of a barefoot is difficult to get the same effect, as you can then trigger an individual sensor of a pad, so a similar movement without shoes might result in a different output from the sensors. So at home practising, I wear shoes. For now at least.

The RAM useage is gone when the editor closed. It doesn't require special drivers, and it can operate in 'standalone mode', without the editor running, but nearly the same functions and programmability. So the USB connection is just like any other USB/MIDI compliant Device (but has 2 ports: one with raw data from sensors, the other with decoded data for direct use by a DAW or whatever.)

I recently got a back-up Repeater, which will also enable me to do 8-track looping, and a Korg KPR-77 analogue drum machine that's pretty fun for improv rhythmic stuff Smile
