Gig Performer nailing it for the New Year’s Eve gig tonight. OL’ Keyzer!

My controllers are an Arturia KeyLab Essential and a Roland FA06. I run Cherry Audio, Arturia V Collection and some samples in Kontakt.

I need to do an updated video on my YouTube channel some time. It’s been too long since I posted something lol.

I haven’t done this in a long time because Gig Performer is rock solid for me, but my bottom controller is a Roland FA06 so in a pinch I could pull on board sounds if my MacBook ever completely died. Down the road I want to have a redundant Mac.
