Today I decided to go the local Flea Market. After passing stall after stall and seeing MANY Keyboards out there I saw two things in the distance. MIDI OUTLETS! My eyes are REALLY good, although I need glasses now to read a book.

30 bucks bought me a Casio CT-656 and while most of you Keys players out there might scoff it works brilliantly. No flaws, not even a speaker buzzing. 80 keys now gives me the depth I wanted, the spring action on these keys is just about what I was looking for and of course I can now run my voices via the pc, LIVE!

I also am getting a pretty good acoustic guitar pickup for 20 bucks on Tuesday. (Found that on Craigslist).

All in all I'm pretty happy today. It's not about your equipment. It IS about your ideas and what you can turn out from what you have at hand.

I'm not advertising on BM. For the most part there are only 10 people EVER watching here.

Anyway Chippy is a bloody happy piggy today.

Thanks Kev and you are right.
I found 'Wabbity' today. a track on which I introduced myself here. Totally analogue. (Real instruments) I got a lot of favourable comments back then.

Good keyboard.

Prob re-write Wabbity nut I think real again. Funny how the world turns. innit.
Thanks for your input pal.

You are doing ok yourself in music I hear so all is good and well.
Thanks again Kev.

Chippy.
