well right now i have a Korg X5 with a JV-1080 synth module, i love it but if yuor budget was bigger than mine ($500) than you can probably get better, all depends on budget and if you want weighted/semi keys or a 88, 76, 61 keys etc...

either that or get a midi keyboard and get a program like Reason if you don't plan on touring and just use it for recording.

[QUOTE=Surtr;15936494]That's mad sick man. I may use that as a subject for the lyrics. I will give you the credit lol.

I have almost no musical ability outside of drumming (if I practiced again) but I have always had a literary bent and a good sense of rhythm so I could definitely help you write lyrics mang. Or at least review what you write. (Check your rep.)

I'm a musical master lol. I'm a Percussionist to the extreme, my main instrument being Marimba or Timpani. I've long since given up pushing my kit playing as it just doesn't do it for me like a lot of other stuff does. But yeah, once I write out some stuff I may post it up in the Lyrics Forum and I'll post a link in here for sure.

Ok, few questions...Any chance there are some free Midi Programs, and how would I go about hooking a keyboard up to the program/my computer and all that. I have no idea about any of this so...Here I'll go check what the piece of crap keyboard is (Its my sisters that she's stopped using so I stole it lmao).

Yamaha PSR-275

Its definitely not a beautiful piece of work, but its a keyboard at the least. I've got a better much much better one here but it can't be used for that sorta' stuff and its just too big to be moving around any.

Also on the keyboard there IS a In - Midi - Out place.

well I myself just got into the software synth i haven't got my keyboard working on my Vista computer but the computer at school (mac) hooks up perfectly, if you have a mac then it's easy you just get a midi cable and a converter like this

[url]http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/MIDISPORT1x1-main.html[/url]

then you open up a program (i got reason from a friend im sure you can get it by shadier means if your willing...im not sure of any free ones.

Alright, I run XP, though once I've got my new laptop sometime before June-ish I'll be running Vista I 'spose.

I'll check out a nearby Music Shop and ask about Midi-Cables and the like the moment I've got money. I'll also hunt down a copy of Reason somehow.

Thanks a lot man. :)

timidity is pretty decent as far as software MIDI emulators are concerned. I'm not sure where you can get really good patchsets tho; that shouldn't be too hard in any case.

Man, I can't wait 'till next year when I'm in Uni. for Percussion and can go in and practice and record some sick Timpani and Marimba **** and all that, and add them as tracks to stuff I'm recording. It will be unreal.

All this talking about keyboards makes me realize that I suck :(

lol, I've only been playing since Christmas day.

Its ok, I've only been playing since like this time last year, and I'm awful.

I have just listened to one song, and boy are they power metal. The random shrieks in Signe of the Warlorde are awesome.

Nah dude. Look in the photo album thread on page 13; I'm a Half-Elven Lord.

Just got my hands on some Alestorm samples. By Kasparek's left hand, this be a fine batch of pirate metal!

:lol: Oohhh Pirate Metal.

That looks like the ultra-feminist spelling but I can't do any better ... maybe.

Pirate Metal makes me feel free on the seas.

Does anyone else think that a song with Fabio Lione and Simone Simons singing would be ballin'?

A two-woman duet would be delightful.
