Discuss music production with Ableton Live.

Very happy keyboards indeed. :lol:
Ableton’s engineers are hard
at work developing code that will allow our software to predict the future, but we don’t
anticipate having this available until at least the next major release.

Trio used a Casio VL-1 for Da Da Da 8)

I loved that little thing. Different waveforms, ADSR, sequencer ... My girlfriend still has one and it's still working after all these years.

I can just see the new marketing adds for Casio Keyboard's.

It's mainly little boys who watch to much South Park, live in a predominately gay community and play with their PSP's at dinner...

But I think the official word now is "BROKEBACK"

"God, that's so BROKEBACK!!!"

"You're BROKEBACK, get out of my face!"

"Stop acting like a BROKEBACK little bitch!"

Vince Clarke (left) of synth popsters Erasure in the mid-'80s with his engineer Eric Radcliffe, his stack of Casio CZ101 Phase Distortion synths, and his BBC Model B-based UMI Sequencer. Each of the CZ101's four multitimbral parts was addressable monophonically on a different MIDI channel of the sequencer, which was highly novel at the time. But Vince still needed several CZs to achieve the polyphony he wanted. Within a few years he was getting around this problem by writing records composed entirely of monophonic lines with no chords at all!

They've missed the mark if they're targeting the gay market. The last time I saw one used live was at a friend's traditional heterosexual Chinese wedding. I can vaguely remember a song about a gift of a Chicken.

The CheeZee 101 can do amazing percussion sounds, like horse hooves...

and some very attention-getting bass lines

actually, i would amend that to say little boys who DO NOT live in a predominately gay community. it's mostly little straight boys who would get bitch slapped for talking that sort of shit in the gayborhood.
