your set up seems like a nightmare in terms of reach to your keyboard to play while recording..

do you press record and then run to your keyboard and hoping you make it in time?


plus that last pic with the keyboard next to the monitor..with the table being curved like that, how do you position yourself to play it?

Midi? thats so 1983, it cant be we are still using such old technollogies in modern day electronic equipment...

Can it? Does it still work? Hasnt that been updated years ago?


This is what Computer technollogy looked in 1983

Everything is MIDI'd up. At the moment only the Kronos sends MIDI out. I'm not the best player in the world so generally rely on my sequencer. So physical access to all of the keyboards is not really an issue for me.

And like this:

That's a BBC model B computer running a UMI Sequencer system.

Is the display still at the same angle as the last series of Kronos keyboards?

Or does it offer any better visibility without having to tilt the rear of the keyboard up?

Thanks
