After a lot of thought... (XBOX360)

If you read my first post here (named "XBOX360") you know I finally gathered the money to buy a 360 during this month. But after arriving home from vacation, and buying some VSTi's (synth software) and trying it out with my guitar synthesizer (Roland GR-20) I went nuts about it, because there's a 'slight' delay of 2 seconds for the synth sound to come out.

If you read my first post here (named "XBOX360") you know I finally gathered the money to buy a 360 during this month. But after arriving home from vacation, and buying some VSTi's (synth software) and trying it out with my guitar synthesizer (Roland GR-20) I went nuts about it, because there's a 'slight' delay of 2 seconds for the synth sound to come out. And that pissed me off. Later I found out that what's causing the delay is that, the sound must go from my guitar, to the GR-20 pick-up, to the GR-20, to the sound board and finally to the VSTi software. I need a MIDI keyboard. So I'm using the money of the 360 to buy it since I'm in urgent need of it (recording 2 demos: one with one of my bands and another of one of my solo projects). So yeah, the 360 will have to wait, maybe until christmas, but I will get it, no doubt about it.

This is probably for the best, since I really want the Elite version instead of the normal 360, this way I have more time to gather money for it. We'll see about that. That's all for now. I'll post pics of the keyboard when I get it, maybe some of you who understand about this kind of thing (never played one before, and don't understand a lot about them, I just know I need one that connects through USB, has 49 touch-sensible keys, pitch bender and well... more stuff lol) can give me your opinion on it. It will just probably be the same as not posting it. But hell, I like writting these blogs lol. I'll catch you guys later.
