    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?

    A fine point of the manual turned up what is likely the cause: by routing the signals directly into the standard input jacks (bypassing the patch bay), the signals are now fine. Input channel 8, which I had been using, has a subtle link to a dedicated Hi-Z input jack! Some searching online...

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

    Hello: I have the standard stereo analog outs, L & R, intended for connection to either stage amps or analog inputs to recording gear.

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

    Hello, mixit. Here they are: keyboard output is the standard audio outs (not accidentally the headphone), yes to line level inputs on the recorder, keyboard has volume fader and also volume foot pedal. Even with all gain-staging set to low levels, what I still hear is a soft but distorted signal.

    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

    reply to AW16G query HI, Mark: I'm not certain what you mean. FWIW, I started each new project by going to the SONG section and selecting [NEW]. I went through the scrolling, etc. to be certain that the new song in fact has a name all its own. Is that what you mean? (The recordings and mixes...

    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...
