    Default Fuck the Alesis Micron: A Rant.

    So my keyboard bit the dust a few weeks ago (6 days shy of the warranty running out!! Badass, right?). I sent it in for repairs and it returned yesterday, still fucked up. It wouldn't even turn on. I bought another one today because we had to play a show tonight. They didn't have a new one, so I bought a floor model. If you've ever been to a music store you know that they are full of assholes just fucking around with all the instruments and being stupid. It was missing all its knobs, but it could still be programmed and played. Awesome.

    So, I'm on stage tonight, and half way into our first song--for which I play the extremely prominent bass line on keys our bassist does other stuff--our bassist leans in and tells me "I think you're playing in the wrong key". I couldn't hear it because sound guys never bother to monitor the levels of the women in the band, so I had no idea. Luckily our bassist picked up the bass line and the song was saved. We did a quick check to see if the next song's program was in key. It wasn't. The whole fucking keyboard is off key. How the hell does that happen with a digital instrument??

    I pulled it off like a gangbuster, rocking the hell out of background vocals, dancing and occasionally grabbing the drummer's stick and playing the tom. But goddamn.

    So tomorrow I'm returning keyboard 2. Keyboard 1, however...I'm not sure what to do. My warranty is now expired, but I sent it in before that date. They just didn't get it right. So I don't know if they'll even fix it now.

    To make matters worse, we're FINALLY--after months of bullshit setbacks--going into the studio this week. So I have to round up a keyboard.

    This is probably relevant to the interests of a very few people, but I had to get it out.

    Whew.

    I'm amazed at the versatility of the Alesis Micron, DR. I've often wondered how artists like Remy Shand and Cody Chestnutt were able to produce albums almost singlehandedly. Now, I have a clue...
