The CME controlling B4 was very nice the edirol wasn't too bad but I spend half the night chasing it up and down the rack as its so light it moves around as you play. So then I loaded up a laptop added a second control keyboard (edirol) yeah that was £5 off ebay with the usual totally dead keys that I fixed and off I went. So dumped all my keyboards back in the studio and found another UF6 on ebay needing a minor repair £20 this time. Soon decided that I hadn't missed lugging loads of gear around. Then it kind of went silly I joined a band to help out an old mate of mine. I then discovered that there is a button that says "Drawbars" this is interesting when you hit that the faders reverse and it is mapped to B4 and VB3 "result" It is actually a chinese knock off of a Fatar feels a bit cheaper but still miles better than a lot of the modern offerings from the usual crowd. I decided to use it via midi so the transport controls dont work and the faders seem to do what they want however the keyboard isn't too bad. So a UF7 came up on fleabay for about £35 and I got it. It is brilliant 8 midi ins and outs merging and routing keys are quite nice but I'm not a pianist so always found the action a bit slow for me. My Fatar 2001 is way too big and heavy and I never really got on with it anyway. Last year I decided to have a rearrange in my studio.
