Although the laptop itself is off-screen, you can hear it:
http://www.restivo.org/blog/archives/169
The lower-manual controller is an M-Audio Axiom 49. The upper-manual controller is a
no-name cheap-ass MIDI controller with two broken keys which I had to Krazy Glue into
place the morning of the show. The bass is patched into the upper manual; Rhodes on the
lower one.
The bass and keyboard sounds are both coming out of fluidsynth, on an ASUS Core 2 Duo
laptop, into an M-Audio FastTrack Pro USB interface, with one channel going into a Roland
KC-150 keyboard amp and the other into a bass amp. The Rhodes is going through several
LADSPA plugins on its way out to the amp. The bass is dry. On this night I was borrowing
the bass amp from the headline band, and it wasn't exactly the sound I usually like to
get.
Alas, the big Tux logo on the laptop was not visible because it was hidden by the bar
railing in front of the stage. I'm finding I like to place the laptop facing against
walls, pillars, railings, and other solid objects, so that it is less likely to be knocked
over.
Many, many thanks to everyone on this list who helped me get my setup, um, set up. This
stuff works great, sounds great, and, best of all, is Free-as-in-Freedom.
At some point I will post videos of a different project I've also been working with--
a funk/soul band which makes heavy use of the AZR3 Hammond B3 emulator LV2 plugin running
in Elven.
Again, thanks to everyone here for helping me over the past 6 months in getting all this
stuff squared away.
