Hi --
I saw these questions posted on the Keyboard Magazine forum and thought of Genos:
"I've got a gig next year which is really heavy on orchestral parts and I'm trying to work out my rig for it. The original material is a mix of live players and the VSL super-mega-hard-drive-eating library so if you didn't know it was samples you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.
So I guess what I'm asking is:
1. Have any of you ever had to recreate big orchestral arrangements live?
2. Have you ever used any of the above libraries live, and if so, what was the hardware setup?
3. If you answered Yes to #1 and No to #2, what did you use?
4. How do you handle articulation switching etc?"
I get the whole mega-gigabyte library vs. keyboard argument. No need to re-litigate that issue here. But, I do feel that Genos is breaking new ground in keyboard synthesis for live orchestral parts.
I'm waiting for my Genos and I'm quite eager to start answering some of these questions from the Genos perspective.
Hope you find this interesting, too.
All the best -- pj
