Hi folks.
I'm a freelance composer and sound designer. I gave up the gigging life after 30 years. I have tons of sample libraries like native instruments, east west etc but I have been dogged by nuisance electrical breaker trips for 4 years now.
I can plug a midi keyboard in to a laptop on batteries and have no issues but I'll trip the breaker if I use my desktop computer. Found out it's caused by harmonics in the electrical supply between the mains (AC) and the keyboard and computer (DC).
An Uninterruptable Power supply might fix this between computer and socket on the wall. Then I saw that some keyboards have built in Bluetooth and can send midi date from keyboard to computer.
Anyone heard of this? Wouldn't latency ruin your playing? I think yhe keyboard I saw was a Roland G3 or G5. It's an actual workstation keyboard.
Any thoughts?
