"The first order of business was to decide what gear we’d use. For musical director and keyboardist Michael Bearden, we went with a Yamaha Motif XS8, a Korg M3- 73, and an Open Labs Neko LX5 and Muse Receptor 2 Pro, both running many VST soft synths.

Morris Pleasure, our second keyboardist, got a Yamaha Motif XS8 and XS7, another Korg M3-73, and a Korg CX3 organ run through a new Leslie 3300 miked below the stage. The Motifs all had 1GB of sample RAM, and the M3s each had EX-MB memory and Radias virtual analog expansion boards. Both keyboardists had MacBook Pros running MOTU Digital Performer 5.13 to control patch changes."

Synth bass:

"The synth portion of Alex’s rig (left) included a Minimoog Voyager Select, a refurbished Minimoog D, and a rack with two each of Studio Electronics SE-1s, Roland D-550s and XV-5080s, and ’80s-era Yamaha TX802 FM synth modules, controlled by Roland Alpha-Juno synths. On some songs, Alex actually played bass guitar and synth bass at the same time!"

Woohoo...go korg cx-3!!!! Surprised with their likely budget they didn't go for a real B3 or something...but makes me happy that they picked the cx3 over the xk or other clonewheels.

Think I'm going to have to check out Digital Performer, and this pretty much solidified my desire to get a Motif XS rack.

God how awesome would it be to get the role of keyboard player for any MJ concert or even the tribute...so much synth work!

p.s. That just made me also want a Leslie 3300...damn you! This forum is no good on my wallet!
