oh...i just found out that the yamaha DX7 II has in fact 64 spaces to play....now THAT'S BIG
it has 2 banks of 32 sounds each....wow....

super happy birthday Jens :D:D:D! it's now 4... how many springs?

any ways a really nice birthday !!!!!

i'm not waiting for anything good to come from the work
''HE'' is writing...he soooo dissapointed me with ''Age of Abricots'' and the past cd and everything since he ''called to end with Strato'' attempt.

anyways...the bass player is a Good choice, let's so what comes out this time.

oh don't have to worry about nothings! it was very formative for real! so as you say, for effects, is better then to have external pedals/proccesors? oh well then i will start buying :lol: well it's that i'm deeply completely satisfied with the effect mounted in the korg at least, but well i suppose...

oh....that guy must be talking about just ONE extra track hidden or layered inside the little ''piano part'' in the 1st verse it's some kinda ''glided lead'' but it's really very low plisken, i know it because live he plays that sound really really remarkable, in fact, he puts no piano on it, just t...

yeah! but.....why all those pedals? i mean...i only know it's effective the whammy and all of that...but...why the super overdrive? i mean he actually can add the overdrives and all the FX inboard, and even more now that he uses Korg M3, which has the best korg features (at least is the latest) and ...

oh well yeah i suppose so! i guess it would drain time...to re-assign all of the parameters he already had, to reassign them to the pedal, im pretty sure it would be good but ''the pain in the ass'' to Re-do all of that! one of the guys out there that simply cannot live without his footpedals is Hen...

excuse my ingnorance...but...ok, when you get this expression pedal, it means you can change sounds stepping on it, is it? it would do the same as a footswitch? or a i wrong? normally i use just one pedal and it's a damper pedal to add drawbars to ''hammond'' organs sounds, and to change the Glideti...

uh you get the point there Plisken. J.R is the main Roland's whore =/, it's pretty BIZARRE we don't see that guy playing the Fantom X8 (well, the Oasys is WAY TOO MUCH!!!! better of course but) i have seen TONS of youtube things of rudess...playing basically Roland stuff oh you know what's crappy? t...

i'm afraid us, keyboard players can't ''keep it inside our wallets''. for us, the ''freelance'' keyboarders, it's even more expensive than drummers....gears, racks, pedals, stands, tilted stands, KEYBOARDS, keyboard bags, and think about, the money we have to waste if, in a matter of accident...it f...

holy crap....it sounds beautifull....yeah it's bizarre how he uses mod wheel in the stringed patches...and he adds like....a choir? :S now i dunno how that happens O.O! and the lead again....it's....eargasmic holy crap <3.... plisken so you say, DX7 has 32 numbers, and JV has also the same quantity,...

oh yeah i could see that too! about jens using the mod wheel sometimes, if i remember right it sounds like it has some REALLY crazy stuff. but still, i wonder why he's enphatised in using old synths as a controller :lol: i will not be surprised when he presents live with an old polysix :lol:, or his...

oh you say haha! creating sounds in a korg X-50 is really hard, and i think it has to be done via computer , but it can be achieved and well done anyhow
i'm having a shitty time with the korg creating sounds and patchbanks, but some day i will arrive at it, some day

oh yeah! Jens! give us your lead sound in a .syx archive :lol: oh well yeah, if you want to fully achieve jens lead sound you need this Morley JD-10 british amp emulator? i think that over the years, he's still using it, i think that's what gives his lead sound this unique ''sound'' warman's sound i...

hummmm, very interesting now i find it! i know TR racks have already programmed Monster Lead, but, i really dont like it when a keyboard lead sound does this kind of ''distorted'' harmonics? like, jordan rudess lead? i don't want to disrespect but, it's annoying to hear that it sounds like a crying ...

oh yeah it's a great cover in all it's expression, it's really a cover-song, not a copy, as Syu added some more ''melodies'' to the lead guitars the voice tone is fine, but...the pronunctiation omg, it's the worst ENGRISH ever :lol: but taking apart all of that, it's an awesome cover, yuhki's lead s...

uh yeah, it had empty slots to store the vst's etc. it was a real good synth, i wonder why korg stopped it. and yeah, i saw a Muse Receptor in a music instrument shop and i t was 3500 € it's like...4000$? something like it? anyways, t was expensive as hell, oh talking about it jens, you should reall...

oh you've missed venezuela this time...
well...next time strato

muse receptor? holy burrito that would be dreamy to play with! but i'm afraid it can't be found here either, and when i saw one in a shop in paris, it was like...5000$? i think an Oasys deserves 5 grand:lol: i really want to start to play with pc live because, i want to play some techno sounds and m...

oh well i'm french born but i moved to venezuela (parental working reasons, you know) here it's almost impossible to find it :/ but...besides of that, will it be that safe to play live with a laptop,etc? i'm afraid it will crash in the middle of something and that would be no good XD well, i will tr...

oh by the way Jens,
did you actually changed your keyboard? i think i've seen live a DX7II, am i right?why's that?:lol: but i think the sound module remains the same the JV-1080 (i want one of those).but where i am it's hard as hell finding one

i would love to know how to use a midi controller (in this case, the Axiom 61 form M-audio) with a laptop, omg Midi language is SO COMPLICATED :( all i know is i need my laptop, the midi controller and an interface, and it's all here but...to program de the midi controller, assign the midi messages ...

i know all those guys...you know all of those ''prodigy'' guys from the new japanese metal wave like, Syu, Yuhki, Yu-toh...whateva! but...all of this could't have been accomplished if bands like X-Japan, Tokyo Yankees, Muteki Band (a sort of mix of both X and Tokyo Yankees, greatly awesome), Show-ya...

oh no way...syu is by FAR better than hizaki
hizaki is just a nice face...but when it comes to skills... i think syu is one of the best in the japanese scene.

naaaah fuck that!
strato NEEDS to record the way Children Of Bodom did!
or! in Japan like Sonata Arctica did!
oh btw i LOVED their Live @ Lowlands this year, the video quality was stunning, you would have to check 'em out!

uh yeah....Alhambra with Yuhki, actually i ordered their DVD, kind of awesome band! but i like their 1st cd better, it's way more instense for real! check it out it's called A Far Cry To you and here goes some youtube link for jens to be very afraid :oops: HAHA! nah kidding here it goes http://www.y...
