Just got a new Casiotone MT-540 for 10 dollars. What a bargain. I cant wait to plug it in and hear those weird drumsounds and screeky beeps these guys produces.
Maybe you wonder why I sit down and write a blog before trying it? It might have been more useful to some, if I could provide some info on this little monster.
But to tell you the truth, its been weeks since I bought it, and its still sitting here in my livingroom – still in the original box.
Its sometimes like this when I buy some sound crap, cheap stuff that makes a sound – could be toys also. Its like some of the magic about buying them is, that you don’t really know what they sound like, and as long as you haven’t tried them, they are still full of potential endless possibilities.
If you start using them you might find right away that they don’t work or you don’t like the way they sound.
It might also be that in this particular downbeat, chill out there track, it fits perfectly and you are glad you waited to plug it in, because if you had done it earlier whilst working on another track, you wouldn’t have found a place for its magic.
To be totally honest, its not very often I can wait to pull it out and push a key or two.
Anyways, I will soon be heading down to the studio and working on a Real XS remix and a Vanessa Daou remix. Maybe just one, I feel a bit tired after getting up too early.
Couldn’t sleep last night and got caught inside the magic of the program Acid – I love that program, perfect for loops and detailed sound mangling. Midi is actually also working pretty well now after many days of midi darkness – they now provide inline midi editing, which is nice.
