Re: dual midi decked out grand on da'day
Ebay didn't "delete the bid" the seller did - again after accepting my offer (lower than his asking price) he didn't realize he was committing to a 200+ shipping charge to the usa - so he canceled the sale ( and i understand it would have been a HUGE hit for him considering my offer). I contacted him through eBay and said i would pay for the shipping, and he was ok with that - paid through pay pal, so everything is covered under protection plan.
As far as the Midi - well I have been using midi on stringed instruments since the first gk77b. I currently have RNC polydrive Midi on my jerzy drozd 9 string (
http://www.jerzydrozdbasses.com/c3.htm) as well as Ghost hexpander pickups on pretty much everything i build (
http://www.apcinstruments.com) - so this is my normal territory
. I was going to try and build a "stick-type" of instrument- but i was not able to aquire bridge hardware that could accommodate the narrow spacing... and i didn't really want to wait either.
I have a rack with 4 gk-20 converters and a focusrite sapphire pro (8 channel)in it connected to my laptop running abelton live - i use it as a "looper on crack" - I also have a 5 string upright that has MIDI/Poly drive on it -
so the end game is to have the Jerzy 9, the upright and the chapman stick all plugged into the laptop and capable of controlling ANY aspect of the abelton live software - currently the upright and the jerzy are working fine just wanted to add the stick as well -
so im pretty happy with the way everything turned out even if there was a little 24 hour stress out but all in all i think im gonna be REALLY freaking happy when all this comes together
So hope that answers all your questions - and im looking forward to posting some videos when this is all assembled
peace
