I dont think you would be able to take a lug off the toms due to size difference dude. Hope this helps [/quote] Thanks Anthony, shall have a serious think if the microphones and keyboard I'm flogging sell! Two last things, I'm thinking (hoping!) that the 16" floor means it's on legs rather than stand-mounted, and whereabouts in Lancashire are you? Cheers dude...

What would this virtual instrument thing need/how would it be done?[/quote] Well, the point of MIDI controller 'boards is that they don't have in-built sounds of their own, they're made to control other sound generators (hardware or software synths, or sequencers) via MIDI or more recently USB (this one'll do either). The easiest way to do what you're talking about would be to sort out a free soft synth on a laptop or netbook and either get someone to approximate by ear the sound you recorded with or (even better) find out what the sound was and see if there's a soft synth patch on the net for it (there'll almost certainly be something close). Then you just connect keyboard to laptop/netbook, connect that to the PA and Bob's your mother's brother! If you're properly clueless re. soft synths and suchlike a knowledgable mate will be worth their weight in cheap lager, but once it's set up it should be a piece of cake to run.

Basically, if you have a listen to Luck (follow link to the band myspace in my signature), we have a keyboard line that was done on a superexpensive korg that happened to be in the studio on the day. What do you reckon the feasibility is of us getting a patch from somewhere that sounds like it (I have a friend who owns a studio so perhaps not impossible) and using this to play it? Thanks Dan[/quote] That should be easy enough to knock up on a virtual instrument, aye! The extra control on the Edirol might be reet useful for doing something like that too if you (or tech-savvy friend ) have the chance to configure everything. I take it you'd be planning on running the keyboard straight into a laptop and laptop D.I'd into the PA?

Don't know if I'd be up your way to collect, not sure if I can afford it and you're umming about selling it, but what the hell - what shell sizes are the Yams, and would you be able to take one of the tom lugs off and use it on the bass?

As the title says; yet another unexpected bill means moving on even more of my 'studio' rig A matched pair of SE Electronics SE1A small-diaphragm condenser mics - [b]SOLD[/b] And an Edirol PCR-80 MIDI controller keyboard - picked this up off of eBay last week, all works fine, 61-key master keyboard with can be USB powered or via a 9V AC adaptor (not supplied). The only issues are one fader tip broken off and one fader knob missing but both still work. [url="http://www.roland.com/products/en/PCR-80/"]http://www.roland.com/products/en/PCR-80/[/url] Sustain and volume pedal jacks, MIDI in and out on DIN plugs or use USB (or both, apparently; haven't downloaded the drivers to get the full features but it'll apparently do stuff I'd never even think of needing ). The surface controls can be assigned to pretty much any parameter you like (even without fiddling with anything I had 'em controlling synth pan and volume in Logic, so someone with the time and inclination to set it up could probably fully control a synth or sequencer from this) Paid fifty quid for it which was a steal, so I'd like to get that back - based in Birmingham / Warwickshire / Worcestershire / Staffs (between home, work, child and parents!) for meeting up or whathaveyou.

Make nice side or infills.[/quote] Ah right, cancel that then; been after a pair of wedge monitor type speakers for a bit!

Colour me very interested, whereabouts are you and how much do you think it'd cost to post 'em? EDIT: hang on a minute, is the shape of the cab like this: or like this ?
