    How to make piano sound on alesis micron

    Write Why don't you just log into YouTube, and write the guy himself who programmed that patch? Seems like the best and easiest way to get what you desire, don't ya think? His handle is Gtechture. He can't play worth a damn, but that piano patch is certainly excellent.

    Disassembling FATAR keyboard to clean - Help!

    Strange I'm having a hard time envisioning what could cause this issue. Without a doubt, it's a programming glitch. But even so, I cannot think of any software menu that would affect only the black notes, and then only in their velocity. Kurzweil workstations are known for their exhausting...

    Disassembling FATAR keyboard to clean - Help!

    Doubtful All your black keys respond at a different velocity from the white keys??? Or is it just one note (a black key) that has a problem? If all your black keys respond differently from the white keys, it is not a contact problem. Something else is going on, though even that would be...

    The Anonymous Cracked Software Poll?

    Does this follow and does it pertain? You're lead on by somebody to believe that the two of you will do something, agree to pursue something, make arrangements to continue a path... and that person does not follow through. On a regular basis, even. So you feel betrayed, your trust stolen...

    M-Audio ProKeys88 + Pro Tools 8 = a lot of effing headaches

    Let's see I don't have either of these pieces of equipment, but let's see if we can isolate or eliminate culprits. 1) Do you have additional USB ports on the computer, and have you tried them? Same problem regardless? (This is important to know). 2) Is ProTools also running via USB? 3)...

    MIDI sequencer at the hz level?

    Not too hard I don't think this is a big challenge. There are a couple of ways to go about it, that I can think of now. The 2nd method requires a sound module that can play multiple layers at a time. First, just to make sure we are on the same page, a Sequence is a program of a song that...

    how to compose songs?

    proves nothing Another immature statement. Whether or not somebody can or cannot pick up an instrument and play it, let alone compose music on it, does not disqualify a person from being able to critique what they hear. Thousands upon thousands would elect to sit in on one composer's...

    how to compose songs?

    young There always seems to be some juvenile in the crowd who speaks his delinquency, and would attempt to ruin intellectual discussions. Must be to match the juvenile songwriting of said youngster. Signed, Not a chickenshit. :)

    2nd posting

    Cool Here's another example of a song construction of music, prior to having melody and lyrics! I love this, as I stated in the other thread (How to compose), that I compose the music first, too. Okay J. Dennis, You now have the challenge of adding melody with lyrics to this song. Lots of...

    how to compose songs?

    This is all true, unfortunately. Responding to a different post, or maybe even a different thread, ... while still acknowledging everything you just wrote, and is true, ... it's my sadness, or heart's contention, being in the smallest of subsets, ... that what passes for art in this...

    can someone explain "cadence" to me?

    helpful resources Google "music dictionary" and choose one. Then try your words. Here's what comes out for the two I picked up in your writing. Cadence - Generally, the beat of any rhythmic activity. In marching, a cadence is used to keep a marching unit synchronized and stepping on the...

    how to compose songs?

    heheh Well.... yeah... I'm a snob. Sorry. I don't think of myself as a snob, so much as a person who acknowledges the standard. And that standard is extremely high. And we expect such things. This is not a surprise. Doesn't it go without saying, that of course the less artistic, less...

    how to compose songs?

    Quite contrare - Do use your mind! Music is a most intelligent art. This quote is perfect example of why almost 100% of modern song-making is boring, unsophisticated, and just plain horrible sounding.

    how to compose songs?

    I think Generally, there are 3 approaches. I consider myself a composer, as opposed to a songwriter. Kinda like a modern Beethoven. Beethoven did not write songs, if you can understand what I am trying to convey. Composing (from my position) involves story telling via music. The music is...

    FL Studios to play midi file with DR770 not working...

    Checklist 1) Make sure both units are communicating on the same global channel (not necessarily ch. 10). 2) If you are using both MIDI cables, you might try disconnecting one of them (the one that SENDS from your BOSS machine, since that one is not totally necessary for what you are doing at...
