    Nord Stage?

     

    So I looked into this and it looks like you can't sample with it but you can load in your own wavs. Do you know how capable it is at messing with samples in it? Any timestretching of any sort? How are the fx?

    I'd consider a weighted controller and a rack. Something like the Microwave XT. But you could get anything really.

    Can't think of many really decent synths with good interface and lots of keys apart from the Waldorf Q or V synth GT.

     

    Never dabbled with any Kurzweil

    Yeah I have thought about going the controller route. I don't own any rack stuff. Would probably be just as expensive or more to go that route than getting the Kronos. I dunno, not gassing too hard yet to splurge on anything. The V-synth looks like a soundshaper's dream, but they are hard to find and I would like a better keyboard. Thanks for the thoughts

    I'm thinking of saving up for a digital poly, probably won't get it for another year or so. But I want some weird features on it:

     

    I want it to be 88 or 73 keys so I can work on piano chops and also have it be my main controller. 

    to make it so I don't need any other synth except for my analog mono. 

    to sample and be able to manipulate those samples in cool ways.

     

    all signs point to a Korg Kronos, which is sad because I will never use the "workstation-y" parts of it. 

     

    I could also search out a used K2500/2600, but I would be worried about longevity. 

     

    any other pieces of gear pop into mind?

    Late to it, but finally watched A Serious Man. I avoided it for this long because I was worried my enjoyment would be diminished by all the religious context. Aaaaand, yeah. Maybe it'll be a grower, but it didn't do much for me on first viewing.

    I agree, the first one is better as far as story and atmosphere. The sequel is like slamming back a good cold beer after the main course. They actually go really well together as a double feature.

     

    Also agree that all other Hellraiser-related anything is garbage

    thats up there among the best British films ever made, its flawless & relentless with it, Derek Jarman did the city set designs & if yer a certain age there are so many British character actors in it the cast cant fail

     

    when Vanessa Redgrave gets that burned bone.........ewwwwwwwwwwwww

     

    Ken's got a mixed spectrum, Altered States gets all the attention but check "Mahler" if you have time & a series of documentary style productions under the "Monitor" moniker, composer profiles & among his best works. They're fairly restrained in comparison to The Devils & the music is aloud to breathe.

    Oh I have! He was one of the great visionaries...as uneven as his films are. The Monitor stuff is all insanely excellent, especially for a music buff. His Debussy film is probably my second favorite behind The Devils.

     

    I actually have the Monitor works DVD's on their way from Ebay. Ordered them yesterday, which prompted me to clean off my old bootleg of the unedited Devils. 

    How does the World view America these days?

    it was probably close to water, to be fair.

     

    Yep, TBF coors light is swill for the NFL-loving mildly retarded.  Still blows my mind that when I lived in Dublin in the late ))<>((s (00s), it'd be on tap at most pubs as a premium import and a pint would cost more than a pint of Guinness (wtf)

     

    Wow, did people actually pay for that?
