The
Pegasus Wing
23/1/12
Following Colin’s introduction of a ‘wish list’ for
the OAS-7 range of instruments, I thought It might
be an idea to introduce a similar page for the
Pegasus Wing Keyboard. Too soon you may ask?
Well not really. Take a look on any music forum
when a new instrument is introduced and you will see
‘wish lists’ for features that folk think should be
on the instrument, or what they would like to see on
the next one even before the paint is dry on the one
being launched!!
The
pages will work in much the same way as on Colin’s
site. If you are a Pegasus Wing Owner and would
like to have any specific Sounds, Styles, Total
Presets, Operating Features or anything else related
to the instrument, then just send me an e.mail and I
will add it to the pages. The resulting requests
can then be forwarded to the programmers and
developers of the instrument for their comments and
consideration. In fact, I would invite and welcome
any input from them to any requests that could also
be included on the pages.
Although I have not added the Wing to my collection
of keyboards yet!! and I
am not over familiar with all that it can do, I
will start the page rolling with a couple of things
that I personally would like to see on this
keyboard.
Always
appreciating that the Wing was intended to be a
competitively priced arranger keyboard (which it is)
and was never designed to have the comprehensive
array of features of the OAS-7 instruments, there
are a couple of features that I will include as my
'wishes' that I would like to have on any future
upgrades for this instrument if I did have one.
These of course, may not be possible within the
limits of the operating system, but as the
instrument is upgradable, here’s hoping!!
This
Upgradability was mentioned by Michael Wooldridge in
his review of the Pegasus Wing in the Feb. edition
of the OKC magazine. Michael gave the instrument a
very favourable report with the exception of one of
his speciality sound groups, the
‘Theatre Organ’ sounds, of which he, and most other
reviewers are usually critical of on most brands of
keyboard. However, as Michael pointed out, if
Theatre Organs are your thing, you can get some very
authentic sounds for a reasonable sum by activating
the 'Theatre Organ' sound package' that is already
within the operating system of the instrument.
Further temptation for me in this direction
came my way recently when the ‘Best of Accordions’ sound
package was made available for this instrument.
Need I say more??
Take a
look at the new page and if you are an owner with a
‘wish’ for the instrument, then please drop me a
line.
