Thanks, I will review the pages thoroughly. The terms virtual, pads, sampling, etc. get all rolled into one apparent function. (I did not know that in a sense I have been using virtual tracks all along!).

I see in the manual that a file on a CD can be imported into a "sample bank for pads 1-4". When I do so, the file gets set up in VTR 1-2. However, I do not see a way to get this track into a conventional track 1 and track 2 to start a new project. Comment is invited.

No one responded to this (except for this reply by me, the author). Here is a solution. As I had at least somewhat considered, the previous converter apparently did not have what it took to handle the signal processing. Purchase of a different unit provided the solution. The Pro CV-to-MIDI...

Hello. I have had some success setting up components to render Eurorack-based sequencer modules' CV and clock/Gate signals into MIDI data streams. So far, I have used the Doepfer A-192-2 CV-to-MIDI converter to sucessfully capture sequences from Behringer 182, Erica Synths Black Sequencer, and...

Hi, Rob. I opened the unit and carefully took a reading on the battery. It read 3.11V, which according to what I have read about the coin-sized types, is a full charge. Also, when I used the MIDI-OX utility as a direct monitor to send it direct commands to change programs, it started to behave...

Hello, Rob. I had not considered that since the unit behaves normally except for this one issue. I will look into it; thank you!

Hello. I have a Kawai GMega sound module that I used for years as an expander with a live rig. Now, it will only sound its "Program #1", which is titled "GrPiano". So far, I have read the manual, looking for settings that might cause this; I have done a System-Edit Factory Reset, more than once...

Yes; I suppose that in case I want to do a mixdown on an external unit or a DAW, I could connect the Track Direct Out channels 1-4 to an audio interface, then to the destination device. Thanks for the comments.

Yeah; I was mainly hoping for a way to insert the disc into an external device, connected to a PC via USB, and then do a raw bit-to-bit copy for archiving the files.

I was wondering about that. Rather like a copy-protection scheme via proprietary format? Looks as though I will have to retain the former methods. They actually worked rather well; mixing and mastering in-the-box, then sending the stereo mixdown tracks to a PC as an export for use "in the...

Hello. I have a Yamaha MD4S that I used for a number of recordings years ago. I still have a stock of discs for its MiniDisc drive, and have searched for a way to read these discs directly into a PC. What I have found in the marketplace is a variety of devices that can play the discs, but that...

Thanks! I will check it out.

Hello! I had not run the Optimize function before; I was waiting until all of the backups had been done. That way, in case something goes wrong with the Optimiize (which I have never run before), at least the PC-based backups are in place. I don't know the OS version; I will look into that. By...

Hello. I have been using a three-step process to clear out old files from my Yamaha AW16G: 1) record a project's fully-mixed audio track to an external unit, using the G's Stereo Out, 2) using the CD Backup function to create backups to a CD on the "G", then copying the CD(s) into a PC folder...

Hello. I have a studio-in-a-box, a Yamaha AW16G. It has a digital stereo IN and OUT pair of jacks which I have never used. This is mainly because although my MacBook Pro has a S/PDIF OUT function, it has no IN function. Lately I have been wondering if this technology can still be used. I have no...
