"the most expressive musical instrument ever made"???? There's a youtube promo clip and a few other youtube clips which do sound sorta interesting I guess. Though I don't have £4k spare at the moment to try it myself! -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

Guest Unregistered Posted: Oct. 08 2009, 10:45 Whenever MO surfaces from the fogs in the Bermuda Triangle or coming out behind the moon or wherever he is at this present stage, he's gonna buy this toy - just for it's presets.. Oh shit...I smell a Light & Shade part deux coming out in the future.. oh well...I had a nice life - time to jump off a cliff     Back to top

Scatterplot Group: Members Posts: 1981 Joined: Dec. 2007 Posted: Oct. 08 2009, 11:24 Looks like a very fancy MIDI'ed instrument with a breath controller built in, plus drum pads. Each feature seperately assigned to a different MIDI channel. Pretty cool tho. Light+Shade? Come on! If MO ever surfaces just to throw together another looped L+S album, I'm done. Even another classical effort would top that, but still would not get my much needed ya-ya's out. I think he needs to "sit in" with a band. No more one-man efforts. Reunite with some old friends and write the whole thing "committee style" like Genesis did. -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top

All you hear are sample sounds from a software. The Lights of  the keys reminds me of guitar hero- the most stupid stuff I ever saw. Back to top
