Just updated the firmware of my Nord Stage 2 to version 3.00, and update its software (Sample editor, Sound Manager). Also update the firmware of the Behringer X32 digital mixer to version 4.02. I was also looking at some ancient photos from one of my earlier bands Intensive Care. Here is one:

This week i did some more work on another song that I composed for ReQatta. It’s name is ‘Ever mysterious’.

This morning I played my Hammond XK5 and practiced a new song from the Hammond Organ Complete book from Dave Limina. During the remainder of the day I practiced some songs from the band ReQatta that I recently joined. More about this band at a later stage. I also made a backing track for one of this songs (Waiting in Line) with help of Band in a Box 2020 and Steinberg Cubase 10.5 Pro. I added my piano part and some strings (using Steinberg Halion 6/Symphonic Orchestra ; HSO). No vocals yet but these will be added at a later stage. While doing this also tried to solve a technical issue with HSO within Cubase. Not yet successful, but will return to this later.

Here is how it sounds now, it will probably be changed a lot later:

I am also still looking for an affordable Hammond SKX (on Marktplaats) but so far without success. Want to use it with ReQatta. I just need two manuals, various sounds, and….. something that is not too heavy.
