Electric Piano / Controller for LE?

Hi All,
Does anyone know of a digital piano that could also double as a controller for Logic and Reason? What I really want/need is a digi piano that my kids can just turn on and play (built-in speakers), then when they go to bed I can plug in my MBP with LE and go to town.
I know I'm asking for the best of both worlds but thought it would hurt to ask. I was thinking of the Yamaha YPG-635 but I'm not sure if it would work as a controller? If anyone has any idea's or suggestions, I'm all ears.
Thank you

Any keyboard with a MIDI out socket (and you'll need a suitable MIDI interface) will suffice as a controller. I'd imagine it would be more difficult to find a digital piano that didn't have MIDI out really.

    Hi
    In iMovie'11 (version 9.0.x)
    on top menu row - Apple/iMovie/File/Edit/Cut (Can vary dep. on language - in Swedish Apple/iMovie/Arkiv/Redigera/Klipp . . . )
    down Cut menu - Slow playback/Raspid Playback/Re-play in Slow Motion and onvards
    Here one can select the Pre-Set speeds
    Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
    No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

  • Some electric piano notes get muted

    Hi all: hoping you can help resolve an issue with electric pianos that an upgrade from Mainstage 2.2 to Mainstage 3 did not resolve.
    If I pound out an 8th-note rhythm on one key with varying intensity (kind of like Supertramp would do with a chord, but just using one note) about 10% of the notes are muted. In a mix it sounds like I missed the note altogether. The MIDI message shows that they're coming through with good velocity (usually between 90 and 120) but they sound as though the the tine was dampened vs. sounded, leaving just a faint kind of tine sound. Why? How do I get rid of it?
    Factors:
    It happens more frequently if I'm holding down a bass line when hammering away at the note.
    Staccato notes seem to make it occur a little more frequently.
    I've varied the number of voices between 20 and 88 but this has no effect.
    It seems to occur with all EV88 patches.
    Thanks for any ideas/help.

    I wouldn't think you need to buy Komplete just to get the electric piano instruments from NI.  You can get their Wurly/Rhodes/Clav package, called Vintage Keys as a separate item for $150 or you can buy each of those instruments separately for some reduced price that I didn't bother to check.
    http://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/keys/scarbee-vintage-keys /
    As for how NI instruments work with MainStage, I have to admit that I don't actually use any at the moment so I couldn't say for sure, but MS just uses normal AU plugins, just like Logic, and I've certainly never had any issue using Komplete instruments in Logic.  I wouldn't expect any problems unless you are running Mavericks, which is just too new to be stable for software that hasn't been well-tested with it yet.  I do a lot of composition, so justifying the cost of Komplete Ultimate, or whatever it is called these days, was pretty easy.  It's a massive cost savings compared to buying individual instruments and fx from NI.  I've been using it for years.  But if your budget is tight, I'm sure you can get just their 'Mark 1' rhodes package for well less than $100. 
    I actually use a midi-fied rhodes as one of my mainstage controllers, so when I'm looking for a rhodes sound, I just raise the fader on that audio channel and feed it into an amp sim in MainStage. The same goes for my organ, which is an XK-3C I use as my other controller, which goes into a NeoVentilator and then into MainStage, so I've always got rhodes and B3 on 2 stereo audio channels in MainStage.  MainStage provides synths, clavs, a lower organ manual (assigned to the rhodes), amps, and effects - so I can't actually speak to which rhodes plugins sound the best or are least buggy.  I hear great things about the VB3 organ plugin from GSi, so perhaps their rhodes plugin is worth looking into as well?  http://www.genuinesoundware.com/?a=showproduct&b=27
    And for what it is worth, I was under the impression that the EP plugin that comes with Logic/MainStage is actually a physicially modeled instrument rather than a sampled instrument, though I could definitely be wrong on that point.

  • Problem connecting electric piano with action scripts 3

    Hi, I'm working on a project and I'll need to connect my electric piano to my PC and have detection to flash. I'm going to make some effect showing out of the screen when I played certain keys or chords on my electric piano. is there any event script that can detect my E.piano?

    Flash is a tool for animation and programming. Programming can support to the level of website designing, Creating audio and video players even for live videos, you can create CBT for elearning, you can print, and now it supports all type of touch and gesture capabilities for mobiles especially Iphone/Ipad/IPOD, blackberry and Android. AIR is a tool that will communicate the system files and folder to some level and It will not support the piano inputs.

  • External electric piano instruments

    I bought M-Audio's "Premium Electric Pianos" sampler instrument pack for use with Logic. However, I find Logic incredibly hard to use (and plus I don't even know how to install this there - see Logic Express 8 forum), and I'd like to be able to use these instruments in Garageband. Is this possible? How? Please help.

    you should be able to just drag and drop the samples in to the loop browser... or drop them straight into the loop folder in your HDD
    You can find many tutorials online for Logic such as:

  • How to connect my electric piano to my mac book pro

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me what I would need in order to connect my electric piano to my mac book pro?
    I would like to record stuff in Garage band using my electric piano.
    I have no idea what cables or equipment I would need, so any help would be much appreciated.
    The piano I've got is a KORG EC120 and it has MIDI IN/OUT and a couple of LINE INPUTS (Though I am not familiar what to do with them! )
    http://www.harmonycentral.com/t5/News/Korg-Introduces-EC-120-Concert-Piano/ba-p/ 34631250
    The mac book I like to hook it up to is a 13" Mac Book Pro (early 2011).
    Thanks!

    There are many ways to do this but do yourself a favor and pick up a usb audio/midi interface. This will let you get either the keyboard voices or  Midi input (computer Midi voices) into garageband along with microphone or other instruments if you want in the future.
    You will also need a cable to connect the keyboard to the interface.

  • ACL migration Error : 1210 could not find a domain controller for domain "Test Domain" (Old Domain)

    Hi
    We are migrating from old domain to new domain. Before live migration, we are trying to check the ACE/ACL migration through SubInACL. We are running the SubInACL on a cluster, which is a member of the Old Domain (Test Domain). We are able to resolve and
    ping both Old Domain and the New domain from this cluster machine. We have created a network share on this cluster, which is accessible to all Domain Users of the Old Domain. Both Domains have two way forest level trust. we are trying to migrate
    the ACL of this share (\\ClusterMachine\testshare$) to the new domain using SubInACL. We are trying to run the below command to get it done.  
    subinacl /outputlog=C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Migrationlog.txt /subdirectories
    \\ClusterMachine\testshare$\*.* /migratetodomain=OldDomain=NewDomain=mappingfile.txt
    Mapping file contains : Domain Users=NewDomain_Users
    But we are geeting the Error that "1210 could not find a domain controller for domain "Test Domain". Error finding domain name : 1210 the format of the specified computer name is invalid. Current Object "\\ClusterMachine\testshare$"

    Hello,
    how in detail is DNS set up in each domain?
    Any problems when using nslookup to verify?

    I purchased the Logitech F310 game controller for my 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I get the driver installed for it. The Disk that came with the controller is a mini disk and will not insert into my laptop.

    May not make a difference anyway. The Logitech support site does not show drivers for Mac OS for the F310:
    http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/gamepad-f310?crid=411
    I'd contact their support to find out if there is a Mac driver available, and if they can either give you a web link to get it, e-mail you the software, or snail-mail you a standard-size disk with the drivers.

  • Controllers in the same WISM module in the 6500, i'm trying to make one of them anchor controller for guest internet

    I have 2 controller in the same WISM module and I'm trying to make one of them Anchor controller for guest WLAN, but when I give put the anchor controller in a separated non-routed VLAN and connect it to an outside switch by creating VLAN 192 on the core. ( the Internet router is connected to the same switch).-it is showing path down... ( VLAN 192 visitor Internet and VLAN 224 my internal controller management VLAN are not talking)
    there is no routing between these 2 VLAN ( because of security), but i can't get the controller to communicate.
    -if I connect my laptop to this switch I'm able to go out on Internet but my visitor WLAN is not able to get IP address from the router connected to this switch.
    - I called Cisco and one the guys told me that i can leave the management in VLAN 224 for the controller to communicate ( which they did), but the issue I'm having right now is that my visitors are not getting IP addresses from this VLAN at all
    some one please advise
      vlan192   4/1 vlan 192              int g0/0 192.168.2.201
      6500 ----- switch ---- router---------  (outside)
        |         |   |
        |        DHCP server
       WLC

    A couple of questions, is VLAN 192 allowed across the trunk link to the wlc?  Do you have an interface tagged for vlan 192, with a valid address?  What is providing the DHCP?
    Cheers,

    Hi Sankhadip,
    Sorry for the late response. I was looking at your code and
    I noticed that the graph scale does not start from zero. That might be the
    reason why you don't see the transient in the simulation. To change the scales
    simply double click on the lower limit and set it to zero. If this is not the
    expected results, can you please post the expected results, so we can see what are the
    differences between the results . Also, you might be using different
    solvers, and that gives different results as well.    
    Thanks and have a great day.

  • Can I use my electric piano on GarageBand

    Can I use my electric piano on GarageBand?
    What cables do I use?
    What do I click on in the app?

    If you want to learn to play the piano, there are some downsides to using synthesizers or Midi controllers that do not have weighted keys.  The reason is that the weight and resistance of real piano keys require your fingers to develop strengths that you will not have by learning to play on a keyboard with plastic, unweighted keys.  Having said that, you can learn the basics of how to play, in terms of learning how to put chords together and understanding scales, but it will be a whole different ball game if you actually try to play a real piano after playing on non-weighted keys; essentially, you will have to spend time developing the strength and agility in your fingers.  So, it can be a good plan to learn by going the cheap and (small size) route by getting an unweighted keyboard, but if you really like playing the piano and want to continue on, then at some point, you need to get something with weighted keys--either a good synthesizer or electric piano, or the real thing (spinet, upright, baby grand, or grand).

  • Areca controller for the x2100 fire server

    Hi
    We just purchased the sun x2100 server, for the purpose of hosting some applications on the linux platform. Unfortunaly the nvraid controller is not well supported on the centos (red hat enterprise clone), and therefore we cannot get raid1 with failover to work on this server.
    I have searched the market and found that the areca ARC-1210 controller to be a well supported controller on centos and other linux distros, and allso the best hardware raid controller for the pci-E port.
    We have previously used 3ware controllers for this purpose, but amcc has not produced any controllers for the pci-e port.
    Have anyone here any experiences with the areca controller on the x2100 server ? Its very important for us ta have a solid well working raid1 solution with failover and quick init restore while server is operative.

    the areca controllers seem to have massive problems on the x2100 M2 (tested with areca 1210). Without disks attached to the controller the x2100 might boot (in some cases) but with disks attached to the controller it always fails. it couldbe / seems there is an interrupt problem (usb using irq15, controller using irq15).
    this is even worse since areca is a very well supported controller on alot plattforms and the onboard nvidia fraid doesnt seem to work at all (rebuilding/state detection).
    late reply, but better late then never :)
