Well, if you have money to buy such a luxurious hardware, its obvious that you should have money to pay the power & light bill.
About the carrying, that's a good point.
I play live with synthesizers, harware live performance, and something that I hate, its carrying and installing all that equipment before and after shows.
But a single software based machine can even reach an army of synths. You CAN'T have all the synths loaded on the NEKO at the same time. Is very simple, that detail defines it all and end the discussion... having all the synths turned on, with hundreds of knobs, sliders, keys and all kind of hardware controllers for multiple parameters, dozens of blinking lights.... you must be kidding if you prefer a single NEKO software performer instead a dozen of synths playing...
Hi,
So you want to turn this to a hardeware vs software debate, yeah you can have your arsenal of hardware synths, but the same can be done on the majority of daws. Presets can be saved with ease, can have multiple instances of the same synth if it has only one midi chanel, creating multisamples and combis is real simple, Oh and rember you could rig up additional midi controller keyboard and set up a simple multi sample with combis. Back to the cost thing, your set up one you work it out probably costed you a lot more and yeah you got lots of pretty little toys to look at and knobs to play with but io would like to know what you arsenal of hardware can do that can be done in a software.
And please nots let forget the neko has midi cables so if you want you can connect it up to your synths and control them from the miko/neko.
Lets see, one off cost of miko purchase and then the cost of electricity vs one off cost of buying 7 synths cables patch bays mixer s and then the continual cost ofd running all that equiptement and generating all that heat ion the studio hmmm.
And no you cant have all the synths loaded on the miko at the same time, not mimiked ones, emulated ones you can have dozens of synths loaded at once. I wont say 300 as openlabs state but i would say 20 synths is well within its capability and thats being conservative as i can easily do the same with my laptop. And you could play all at the same time using multi samples key zones and combis and create complex sounds, would like to see the same done with your array of synths without using a pc or mac.
Explain how that is done?
Ok yeah you can keep adding more and more synths and cables and patchbays and figure out how to get all of those to communicate with one another and i could run more and more vsts and plugins, even plugins where there is no hardware equivelent and soon the cpu would struggle and then i could network up another computer to host my plugins, or even another miko ok so now i have to carry an extra power cable a network cable but now i am able to host thousands of more sounds.
I got two hands so how can i play alot of those sounds together, oh yeah i could make a combi using the least cpu hungry quality sounding vsts and make a sound that you would struggle to make with your army of synths but then you got the flashing lights on all those synths glowing away.
Well why dont i connect my miko to a projector and run the video dj software as i play and run some visuals that will not only entertain me but also my audiance or even sony vegas.
Can your army of synths do that or will you require other equiptment to do that as well.
holla back
