Taken from last night's Facebook update by Trev Wilkins.
This is part of Robert's office. Today I set up a Korg MIDI controller keyboard patched via an IK Multimedia iRig Pro to his iPad. We have an app called Thumb Jam on the iPad and I've programmed the keyboard pads to send Program Change messages to select each sound required, Mellotron at the moment. This is routed into the Axe FX via a Tascam line mixer and its FX loop return block. Routing this way means we can send the sounds directly into his rig 'at the top' giving great flexibility.
After the excellent rehearsal (those drummers are so good and great things from Mel) we spent some time working on the guitar sounds and updating our previous user presets.
Tomorrow we have photographer Scarlet Page coming to tale some band photos so the band will all be in Sunday best!
Afterwards some of the time took themselves to a local hostelry for a well deserved meal and chinwag.
Here's a shot posted by Gavin on his Facebook page. He writes "King Crimson full band rehearsals !!! In a much bigger room this time. Lots of good stuff happening."
