Roland JV-1080 synthesizer

Hehe yah.


So now, I have these 2 to get:

Digital Performer 5 (list price $500, w/ student discount i pay $325) Trammell uses this; some of the best software out there.


MOTU 828 FireWire audio interface ($150-250 on ebay)


MOTU is an amazing brand.

Interest level probably isn't high, but I thought I'd post some pics of my new music equipment.

Today, my M-Audio Axiom 61 keyboard controller (and cables) arrived.

Monday, I got the Roland JV-1080 synthesizer, from eBay, for $170. Pretty popular when it came out in 1994. Trammell used this synth pretty heavily on the Weather Channel set that we all know and love. When I opened up the expansion bay, there were $400 worth of rare expansions in it!

The Expansion boards in the JV-1080 are really kick-ass looking.

So yah, I'll be able to crank out some pretty bitchin music. I'm still waiting on my FireWire audio interface, and software.

P.S., new smilies?

Well, according to Leon, there was going to be a new CD this year. Maybe he and TWC are gearing up for it.

I simply don't like ads. I've had problems with them in the past. I block all ads on all sites. It's not like I'm singling out this site.

Its for those, like me, who wonder whether someone is male or female.   

So...Is there an "other" option?

TWC's licensing department does that. He just selects them.

I find it interesting that he has an open budget for music. Seems like that could get costly.

When you go back to school, that's when the time goes slow

I thought last school year went by fast. I can't believe I have only two years of high school left!

Ever since 6th grade, all of my school years have flown by. Pretty soon, I'll be dead.

So, in one post, you say, (TWC only plays BMI music)

Then in the next post you say, (If Brian likes it, he'll play it).

Which is it?
