I need to ask bert a series of questions for an online interview for the site and would appreciate your input. If there is anything you ever wanted to know about Bert or wanted to ask him, now is a good time to do it

Many thanks

"Tibbs"....Saul wrote:Oh I know exactly what you mean m8. For me I actually prefer a DAW but the location of my keyboard in relation to the computer makes it a bit of a pain to work in that way. My project for the summer is to build a proper desk for the keyboard, computer and speakers so they are all in one unit with a 22" display right above the keyboard. Of course that's if I can fit it in among the many other projects on the go!
Oh and completely off topic but who cares...we're looking for a motorbike at the moment. haven't had a bike for 10 years but feels about the right time to jump back into the saddle. Might even buy a Yamahain which case it won't be as far off topic as appears
Getting back to Bert, I'll quiz him on his gear and his other work apart from Yamaha. He did tell me Roland have offered him a job on numerous occasions but didn't elaborate on why he turned them down. Although the thought of working with Scott Tibbs isn't exactly a large inducive to moving over to the Roland camp. Not that he's a bad guy in any way and he's certainly an accomplished player but, he's not exactly flamboyant in his presentations. Roland really do need someone like Bert!
Thanks Clyde. I'll certainly ask himClyde wrote:I'd be interested if he has any experience with heritage Yamaha synths such as DX7, SY77/99, EX5, etc.

Good questionsynthjoe wrote:A question I would be interested to know the answer to: Aside from the MM6 as a potentially limiting tool in this respect, does he prefer to work with presets to sketch quickly the musical idea he has in mind, or the other way around: creates often his own sound from which a musical idea then emerges?
