Pocket Miku — which I didn't even suspect the existence of until someone 'round here passingly mentioned it a couple weeks ago — has arrived.

Somebody needs to send one of these to Magpie! Actually how much are they? Maybe I will send one to Magpie. It has to be bentHeraclitus Akimbo wrote:Pocket Miku — which I didn't even suspect the existence of until someone 'round here passingly mentioned it a couple weeks ago — has arrived.

Presumably as bendable as a Stylophone... although this actually has some more complex stuff under the hood, as it's MIDI-compatible via USB.

Haha yes! This is probably the stupidest thing I've ever bought, but I am definitely sending it to Magpie to bend (along with a couple other things)Heraclitus Akimbo wrote:Pocket Miku = surprisingly cheapMrNovember wrote:Somebody needs to send one of these to Magpie!

Re: What is in the post? welcome to GWA: gear whores anonymo
Got one at last! Has been on my list since I spent some blazed hours with a friend's unit and had much fun. This is a 2.0. Came with the yellow overlay.
And this Kawai 49-key/16bit oldie was for free! I paid the shipping COD, but the guy had not packed it well and it took three months to arrive. Domestic mail isn't always a safe bet. So had to glue a broken key, output and power jacks need fixing, but for now it works and actually has some great sounds/functions. The stereo chorus is gold. IME Kawai has the best sounds in this class of (usually) cheap '90s keyboards. I'd love a K4 but those are a bit more.
Plus I bought a two-tier keyboard table/stand, used as well. Holds three synths comfortably, and my pedalboard fits right under it, so it frees up a lot of space.

LUL
Yeah it's a cool function - when on, the keys in the marked area play (tempo- but not pitch-adjustable) short, looped trills/riffs in the style of the selected rhythm.

His book, Playing the Bass with Three Left Hands, is great if anyone hasn't read it.

<Chuckling evilly at the thought of introducing Miku to the 856 for Zellersasn.>apologies all around

Used in moderation, Pocket Miku is actually going to be totally viable for live use. And I haven't even gotten to mixing in the Count to 5 or other weird pedals yet!

I looked that Pocket Miku up and all the demos are just awful.
Surely someone can make it sound musical and not corny asf.
