Topic: Complete beginner setting up....
Hello everyone, I stumbled across pianoteq today and am completely in love with what I have heard and read so far. However, I am a complete noob when it comes to MIDI in any form. I was initially looking to purchase the GEM rp-x, but Pianoteq seems to have much more growth potential.
I play in a band and a duo, and would eventually like to use Pianoteq at our live gigs.
At the moment I have a KORG sg-proX keyboard and a Yamaha p-120. I also have an iMac running OS X with a 2 GHz intel core 2 duo with 1 GB RAM. I am wondering how in the world I get the KORG connected to the iMac? Once the piano is connected to the iMac, how would I then get it fed into the bands mixing board?
If I were to purchase Pianoteq, I would have a little over US$ 300 left to purchase the other necessary pieces. So exactly what would I need for a good basic system, and is it possible within my price range, and if possible, do you have any suggestions for what products are best?
Possibly related, eventually I would like to buy a laptop for convenience reasons. Can I transfer pianoteq to a new computer?
