@ Icchan, Did you solve the problems you mention here? I have not heard of pedal crosstalk. Don't know if have experienced it. By the way, I am about to do the whole contact replacement job again. It's been 4 years and they have worn out.

Hi. Take heart. You can make Win 7 record good HD with no latency. I do: see links to my youtube vid at MusiEdge.com. Key latency issues as I see them are: 1) use an interface device that bypasses Win 7's sound system ( I use M-Audio FirewireSolo, 24-bit, which supports the Steinberg ASIO...

Here is a way using free software to run all your stuff from one midi keyboard controller. Here is a demo of it in action: God Bless The Child. lyrics: Billey Holiday, music: Arthur Herzog, Jr. - YouTube Won't be free forever though.

Sounds to me like the on-board audio D/A is the problem. I solved it by buying an external ASIO audio interface. I chose M-Audio's Firewire Solo (in 2008). I adjust its ASIO buffer size to vary performance and latency. Now have it set for 512 bytes and am running 24-bit audio. M-AUDIO -...

Second the USB midi option. USB is WAY faster than standard midi hardware, I uses a MidiSport UNO, 1 by 1 I/O, from M-Audio. My system in action: "God Bless The Child". God Bless The Child. lyrics: Billey Holiday, music: Arthur Herzog, Jr. - YouTube

Yes, but midi ports can be virtual; software only. I use LoopBe which provides up to 30 In/Out ports. (With only one I & O port, it is free to download). The way I use it I can make my Spanner app. connect to my EWQL virtual instruments. EWQL can see the LoopBe port(s) and so can Spanner even...

Could you use this? It's actually the reverse of what you are asking for but given your setup it might give you more ideas. This is a new software product which is offered for FREE, currently. I use it this way: I play on my Studiologic Vmk-188 keyboard (it's only a midi controller), it drives...

One More Thing I mentioned a fix for the regulation problem. Actually there are two. In my own case I found two or three of the support brackets (with black screw in pix) have one mounting screw that is stripped out. It's the one that is within the area of the moving key weight-arms. Ok...

I just posted my pictures of the vmk repair we were discussing some months ago. Thanks for your pictures, too.

Final with pix Also, here are some views as I was removing the old contacts and replacing them. More 'goo' is visible here. This is tedious work. We must assure the new contacts are firmly flat and flush with the pc board. OK, End. I hope this helps other users. I have a plan to fix the...

continued Here is more on the action.

continued Notice the head of the Red screwdriver. It is right next to my original dead note, F3. I show a view of this rubber contact from a few angles. Note the 'goo' (best seen in the preceding post). Also shown is how the action works. The moving part is of heavy sheet metal not plastic...

continued Notice how the little connector works here.

continued pix and some text Note the metal stiffener brackets with the black screw in the middle. The address a problem with this unit: key-down pressure pushes against the pc board that holds the rubber contact velocity switch-sensor. If the pc board bows away from the pressure source the...
