Quite an impressive kit list.
The Micro BR is a new one to me. Had to look it up...nice...

At its core, the MICRO BR is a four-track studio with four simultaneous playback tracks and two simultaneous record/input tracks.However, there’s more to this recorder than meets the eye. Each of the four main playback tracks also has eight companion V-Tracks (for a total of 32)
Almost 300 drum patterns are included
A quality multi-effects processor
The MICRO BR is capable of loading and playing MP3 files
Recording Time: 1 GB 2081 min 1040 min 693 min 94 min
wow.

I'm actually researching another tone module. The smallest thing with a few keys. I refuse to walk around with the hideous looking Alesis Micron.
The Novation Xiosynth is interesting as an option, but I don't know about its sounds...


10-voice mono-timbral engine with multi-effects processor and 200 massive sounds.
USB bus-powering is available, as well as optional battery (AA)/PSU operation, making the keyboard highly portable


I'd have to see what programming its engine is like. At 25 keys I think that's the smallest.

BTW, you stage show looks great. That's an awesome gig sounding off at a fashion show. Nice set up. I love how the uptempo joint kicks in later. It is weird to see the crowd so passive. I couldn't ignore those tunes if I was there. I'd probably get kicked out for jumping around.

Maybe I should stick to what I already have and resurrect an old unit. There's a Yamaha An200 and a Korg Electribe E-A1 which could both serve as tone generators and even handle melodic phrases without a keyboard.

I think the AN200 will be packed away and integrated.
lastly I added your profiles as friends on Myspace.

hey man

when you say you want a small sound module, does it have to be a synth?

'cos i carry around a Yamaha QY-70
which has very usable (and pretty tweakable) sounds...
runs on batteries, and in my experience goes really well with my sp-404
if i need a horn sound, i just gotta reach for the QY. inevitably the sound gets tweaked further in the 404

it's got synth sounds, all instruments drums etc

plus it can sequence everything too

griffin avid....really thanks!

i dont connect me to my myspace...because i promise (to my friend R.I.P recently)....finished a track 4 him....and put into my player....but i think in a few days come back to myspace and add you and comment your music...
all the best in your gear-research...

big kiss, vivi.

Yamaha QY-70 That's a nice piece I have never heard of. Thanks.
