Hi, I'm Rawl from VA Beach. I have several keyboards including a Yamaha DX7 I bought new in the mid 1980's and a Yamaha S80 I bought new a few years ago.
I also play brass, mainly Cornet, Flugelhorn, and Trumpet. Cornet is my favorite of the three to play because of the mellow tone.
I have been taking an on-line course in orchestration that uses sampled sounds to create very realistic symphonic music. I have Cubase 4 as a sequencer, Emu 1820m hardware in my DAW and both Emu's Modern Symphony Orchestra and IK Multimedia's Miraslov Symphony Orchestra sample libraries as well as a host of more modern libraries that come with the Emu Emulator X software synth.
I am currently trying to decide what kind of MIDI keyboard controller to buy in order to be able to use my laptop for music when I travel. I am considering the Emu Xboard 61 or the M-Audio 61 key equivelant. I am spoiled by the DX-7 and S80 for action and quality.
Any feedback on these is very welcome.
I hope to be able to post some musical examples soon.
Keep cool and play on.
Rawl
