Tech log

1. This is called a Juno Stage it looks just like a normal keyboard.
The way I've been using this us that I have been playing with the Master EQ. On the EQ it has Low, High and reverb. The reason why I was playing with the EQ mainly the reverb was because I wanted the sound on the Juno Stage to have a lil bit of space.
The limitations of the Juno Sage is that you can't make your own sounds on it, it doesn't have an effect, filter, LFO and so on.  It doesn't have effects such as 'Delay', 'Flanger', 'Phaser' and many more. It basically doesn't have things that the GAIA has.
The way you could Use it effectively is that you could plug a mic in it and use it, you can also play a normal piano and just use it normally for performance.

2.  Roland GAIA synth 1
It's a analog synthezier called Roland GAIA that has an LFO, OSC, FILTER, AMP, EFFECTS on it.
The way I've been using it is that , I was messing around with the filter - cutoff, the mode I made the mode into a low pass filter. I also turned on the reverb on the 'Effects' option which was located on the far right.
The limitations of the sound is that you can go back to the original sound that you wanted before, you can reset the sound as well. So in order to get back the sound you wanted before you would need to re-tweak everything that you re-tweaked to get back your sound
The way you could Use it effectively is that you could use for different sound effects or mainly for electronic type of music.

3. This next instrument is called a KeyTar it Roland GAIA synth 1
It's a analog synthezier called Roland GAIA that has an LFO, OSC, FILTER, AMP, EFFECTS on it.
The way I've been using it is that , I was messing around with the filter - cutoff, the mode I made the mode into a low pass filter. I also turned on the reverb on the 'Effects' option which was located on the far right.
The limitations of the sound is that you can go back to the original sound that you wanted before, you can reset the sound as well. So in order to get back the sound you wanted before you would need to re-tweak everything that you re-tweaked to get back your sound
The way you could Use it effectively is that you could use for different sound effects or mainly for electronic type of music. has a guitar type of layout but instead if strings it has keys.
The way I used it is I had to hold it like a guitar because it has the same layout of a guitar and it also has the strap. The way I was using the modulation is that I had to shake the modulation bar and hold it down.
The limitations of a Keytar is that it is hard to hold it because you have to hold it like a guitar and play it like a keyboard at the same time.

4. This synthesizer is called Juno-6
The way I was using it was that I was pressing buttons like the 'Hold' button the hold button is like a sustain except the sound keeps on going and going, it doesn't stop. I was also using the Arpeggio, rate which is the speed.
The limitations of this sound is that it has the same type of synth so you can switch to a synth pad for example.
The way you could Use this in a performance is that u could use for it in electro type of bands or type of music.

5. This synthesizer is called Arturua,  and this type of synth is mostly for effects.
The way I was using this is that I was playing it like a normal keyboard except I was using the Oscillator mixer and the filter envelope and the other controls. To get a different type of sound, there was a variety of sounds that you could make by just using the controls.
