BEN ANDERSON: Hi, this is Ben Anderson for Expert Village, and today, I'm going to be
talking to you about multi rig setups. Just to give you a brief overview of what a multi-rig
setup is here in front of me is an example of a multi-rig setup where I'm using two synthesizers
in a live performance setting. This can be used in many different ways. What I use it
for personally is to be able to switch between different sounds on different keyboards without
having to cycle through presets or through the bank of different sounds that I have.
It's a lot easier to jump from one keyboard to another, B but this is just one example
of many different rigs that you can have in a multi-rig setup for keyboards. Oftentimes,
you can also have another keyboard stand with another keyboard or two or even using a different
synthesizer box as well as just keyboards in order to have a good multi-rig setup, but
the importance of multi-rig setup is having a setup that works well for you, and one that
you can adjust to very easily. People will also use multi-rig setups for other reasons;
aside from just being able to simply switch through different sounds, other keyboards
have different feels for them. The keyboard on top that I have, for example, is a semi-weighted
keyboard whereas the one that I have below is more of a weighted keyboard with actual
full-size piano keys compared to like the one that's above it that does not have full-sized
keyboard keys. So each keyboard will have its own personal use, and a musician can use
different keyboards for whatever best suits them and can interchangeably use in throughout
their multi rig.
