On the way home from work last night, contemplating how I was going to use my bonus money (responsible vs. fun), I realized that it should be applied to the keyboard I’ve been saving up to buy for church! I had wondered how I would pay for it, and this will be perfect! I quickly scoured eBay and Craigslist last night and there are definitely a couple options out there that are in the price-range I need.
I’m very excited. I find myself missing “God’s Bathtub” which is sound #A50 on the Korg Triton LE synth workstation. I hope the Korg I end up getting has that sound on it. I never thought I’d miss that particular sound since I used it a lot at our NoNJ church, but with the new band sometimes I try to describe it so that the keyboardist of the week can use a similar sound, with no success. With any luck I’ll end up with A50 at my disposal.
Update at 11:56 a.m.: I WON IT! I WON IT!!!!! I just won a 76-key Korg Triton LE on eBay for less than I figured I’d have to pay!!! I’M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!
Two things: if the keyboard is midi, you should be able to find that sound and download it to the keyboard. And I’m still waiting for my retraction about me “losing” the DVD player and other things around the house. If anyone puts things back in their place, it’s me. You make me laugh some times. Glad you won the keyboard. Can’t wait to see it.
And you might still have enough bonus money left over to take us out to dinner one day.
The keyboard Is midi, but I don’t have to download the sound because it’s a standard sound on the Triton LE that I just won.
And yes, I’ll post my retraction this afternoon once Mr. BIL goes into his 2 p.m. meeting. *lol*
I didn’t see your post where you said the keyboard you won has the A50 sound that you covet. I only read the original post where you were hoping it has it. That’s why I threw that download advice out there in case it didn’t have it.
And I look forward to your retraction. Thank you.
congrats! have fun!
Denis – my original post said that the Korg Triton LE has the #A50 sound that I love. And then my update said that I won a Korg Triton LE, so it was kind of inferred that I was getting #A50…
I guess my problem was I didn’t realize it was an update and the bulk of the post was about loving that sound and I didn’t see anywhere spelled out that the one you won had that sound so I inferred that you still needed a way to get that sound. Never mind.
I was just trying to be helpful.
Woo! You’re a winner! You can use “God’s Bathtub” to your heart’s content, now. 🙂
