Hey you , Sport Billy
very very stupid question !!!! try again mate ;)
of course i have played many many live gigs
and my "soldiers" are Polar TI - Laptop - RME

there's no need to carry out a magic box like you do
by the way you can hide on this a couple of tea or coffee during live gig

:p

Well... clearly there is. Plaids using way more gear, neatly organised and ready to roll - its compact, quick and efficient to setup, power up, and minimise hassle for load ins/outs, also i'd dare say - a shitload harder to be stolen, or lose/forget a bit of kit after one too many drinks/special treats.

But if you cant understand that, then theres not much point responding.

Damn cool setup there Plaid. Those Axis controllers weird looking boxes though - take a while to get used to?

Yeah, that's one of the negative aspects that turns out to be a positive. It's a bit on the heavy side, a little difficult when you have to deal with stairs. But yes, it's gonna be a bitch for anyone who thinks they can grab it and scurry out the door without being noticed. :)

Thanks bro! Yeah the AXiS does take some getting used to. It's a recent purchase but I'm getting better every time I use it. It's kind of frustrating to play all the familiar material that I learned on the regular keyboard. On the other hand, I've come up with some amazing riffs and chord progressions I would've NEVER thought up on the standard "black & whites". I highly recommend checking out the entry level AXiS-49 if you want a taste of the Harmonic Table without dropping $1,700+.
