Picture of my Mac Keyboard
I wrote about this a while back, but I don't think I ever got around to posting the picture. Well, here it is. I bought the black keys for my laptop so as to make playing keyboard at Emmaus Way and elsewhere easier. So far it's worked out great. I love not having to take my non-compliant midi keyboard (old Oxygen 8 anyone?) along with a midi to USB box. I just show up with my laptop and I'm good.
Tonight at Emmaus Way we played a killer Patty Griffin song called Mary. I came up with a drum loop in Logic, and then pulled up an FM synth patch to better emulate the original recording. I hit some clunker chords, but other than that, everything sounded fine and worked like a charm! In addition to all of that I also played my E-Way drum set...which is always a hodge-podge of sorts using my crazy looking shaker/ tambourine/ jingle hi-hat thingy, a few handdrums (tonight it was the Big 'ole Djembe and my smaller "Chinese" tom-tom, and my 26" scotch marching drum.
