    Dead or sick keys.

    ooh, can you ? Don't listen to me then Ted ! Charged capacitator. Ok, will have to add that to my list of things to watch out for- just kidding ;) I think we will steer clear of these electronic things. Hey, I wonder if that somehow explains why one of my keyboards wouldn't turn OFF one day...

    Midi for dummies?

    Ok..I took a brief ( very brief) look at both those sites where they describe what it IS. So, it's a way to play other sounds from other devices through one keyboard ? So in effect I could take sounds from one keyboard and put them on another, right? But I couldn't take a whole piece of music (...

    Dead or sick keys.

    Ted, my husband has opened up my keyboard ( by my request :) ) and as long as it's ( obviously) not plugged IN you can have a look inside quite safely. As for what you DO once you're in there, well this is the hard part. Obviously the previous poster ( and thankyou for your reply btw) is more...

    Midi for dummies?

    >>>Using a master controller device such as a keyboard, one can play or trigger sounds from other electronic devices remotely. This eliminates the need for one keyboardist to perform with nine or ten keyboards around him. He can play all the keyboards through one simply by connecting them using...

    Midi for dummies?

    Gee thanks Alchuck. Real helpful. I wasn't asking for a whole BOOK of info, just a brief summary in a few words or sentences. Instead of your facetious reply you COULD have expended your energy typing exactly that. Nice way to make a newbie welcome to this site I must say. Thankyou Stealthteck...

    Midi for dummies?

    Can someone please explain to me exactly what midi IS? Speak to me slowly, as though addressing an idiot. I have no clue, zilch, zip, nada , none! I have this wonderful Roland E 500 which has been my best friend for several years, but I cried a lot of tears getting to know her basic parts and...

    How to turn laptop mic off?

    It's fixed ! :) Don't know WHAT he did ( he was a bit vague in telling me - I guess it was something like when he can't find the coffee in the cupboard) - where's the roll eyes thingy ?!? Anyway...we're up and running now ! :)

    How to turn laptop mic off?

    Chris, I will show your post to my husband tonight and see what he says. He might have already tried that too. :( I know he was at the point with it where he was sporting keyboard indentations in his forehead . I know NOTHING about computers so I'm just a go between at the moment. He WORKS...

    How to turn laptop mic off?

    Thanks Chris. :) unfortunately, though this seems the most logical advice and has been offered several times before it seems this laptop is devoid of a mute button ! :(

    Dead or sick keys.

    Has anyone's keys ever suddenly died or won't play properly...like in the case of one of my bass note's where the touch sensitivity seems to not be working and as a result it's glaringly loud even when you press it gently. It's not too much of a problem...just means I have to avoid playing in...

    How to turn laptop mic off?

    Hi, I'm new to this board and have a question that I've asked on a few different forums and so far no one has been able to solve the mystery. My husband and I are just beginners with all this computer recording stuff and before we've even started we've hit this glitch. Here is the post we have...
