    AW16G CD import

    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.

    Behringer 2500 sequencer-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...

    GMega is stuck on a single "patch"

    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...

    Yamaha MiniDisc to PC digitally: possible?

    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...

    Yamaha AW16G "time remaining" issue

    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...

    S/PDIF still used?

    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...

    Eurorack, mixer, and audio interface

    I want to integrate a new ARP 2600 and a growing set of Eurorack modules into a setup where I can channel their expanding set of signal sources into either a DAW-based or SIAB-based recording base. Is a conventional analog mixer a good part of this chain? the audio interface has four channels...

    MMT8 not recording

    Hello: I recently got an Alesis MMT8 for next to nothing (caveat emptor buy). All powerup indications look good. However, when I press RECORD and select a track number, then press PLAY, it displays COUNTDOWN with a count of '5'. Then it stops without doing a countdown; nothing more. I cannot see...

    synth audio output line levels "too hot": is there such a thing?

    I just got an Emu Pk-6 keyboard and I am quite interested with its sounds and features. When I plug it into a known good mixer/recorder (specifically, a Yamaha AW16G), no matter what levels I set anywhere, I get overload distortion effects. (Through a headphone mixer it sounds great; no...

    audio patchbay "101"

    Hello: I have a Yamaha AW16G, which is a sixteen-track digital recorder. It has eight audio input jacks, and I have more than eight pieces of gear that I want to connect to it. I have a Behringer PX3000 24-channel patch bay. So far, so good. When I go to read articles about how to connect them...

    ESQ1 and SysEx Librarian

    I recently connected an Ensoniq ESQ1 to the app "SysEx Librarian". The intent was to establish a link that would enable a MacBook Pro to send and receive program patch contents, sequences, etc. between the two. Upon first use, the Mac apparently sent a stream that overloaded the ESQ1's OS. The...

    AW16G will only write old stereo tracks

    I have created a stereo track complete with mixdown on a Yamaha AW16G and written it to a CD. All went well with that one. When I created another four-track song, did a mixdown on it, and saved it, according to the documentation, it should be "stereo track 2" in the list. When I look at the list...
