    Entry Level Keyboard Help!

    Quite honestly, I think you cannot do better right now than this new Roland GAIA SH-01. For an asking price of $700 (talk it down to $575) this brand new synthesizer cuts some new territory, has enough buttons, knobs, and sliders to make you drool, and is quite amazing, especially for the low...

    Disassembling FATAR keyboard to clean - Help!

    Really good post and pics. Very informative - at least for me. Question: Can the weights be moved to other positions, similar to what CRFolwer was exploring for keys themselves? Thus, if mending a broken weight is not likely to work, can it be relocated to the extreme top or bottom of the...

    Disassembling FATAR keyboard to clean - Help!

    So everybody, let this be a lesson to you. NEVER force anything. If something won't move, keep looking for the reason. There will always be a logical and simple manner to take things apart. Don't use force. Fowler, good pics. So, let me just say a couple of things, and maybe I'll cover...

    Looking for electric Jew Harp

    Triggering from a keyboard is certainly possible. Question is, do you possess or wish to obtain the right type of gear to do it? The answer lies in a Sampler. To playback recorded samples of a human playing the harp. Loaded as a sample in the machine, then triggered by notes on the keyboard...

    Disassembling FATAR keyboard to clean - Help!

    Cfowler, The photo may help, as I do not have any particular knowledge of the Fatar keyboard you have. Common sense would seem to indicate that there are still some screws holding the keybed in place. If you look at posts #6, #7, and #8, it shows how to get the keys off and out. Also, if you...

    what synths made r&b basses in the 1980s?

    Though this thread got started in 2007, and the question was specific to which synths were primarily used for basses in the 80's, it's an okay question as far as trivia goes. But if you think that any of those sounds cannot be reproduced on today's equipment, you'd be sadly mistaken. There's...

    Disassembling FATAR keyboard to clean - Help!

    Speaking of keyweight, maybe you could take a photo or two when you get your Kurzweil disassembled, and explain and post your technique of what a keyweight problem looks like, and how you fix it. This comes up fairly often on Keyboard threads. If I'm not mistaken, it is a weight inside the key...

    Disassembling FATAR keyboard to clean - Help!

    Clarify So let me see if I understand you correctly. You're looking for help on how to electronically connect the 2nd keybed into the road case of the first, right? And the connector plugs are not the same on these 2 keyboards. If I am reading you correctly, you need to locate a musician's...

    Tracks go off time slightly

    Are you working with MIDI or Audio? It makes a difference. There was a good discussion (about 12 posts) I stumbled upon last year on the Cakewalk forums where others had problems with tempo vs. speed, and things not lining up properly. The answers were quite informative. The last post, by...

    What do I need to do solo shows?

    Essentially, when it is all set up properly, it goes like this: You step on a foot pedal to trigger your keyboard's sequencer of a song. The MIDI file being played, has already been tweaked by you so that the various instruments sound more realistic, utilizing the sounds from your keyboard...

    What do I need to do solo shows?

    Quality The answer to your question all depends upon how excellent you want your show to be, and whether or not you can cover the vocals quite well, too. You do not want to play MP3's as Tim suggested. That would be the wrong way to go about it all. I've been programming and working on being...

    axiom25 1st gen vs 2nd gen

    Newer The machine in the top of the photo is the older version, though I am not certain if that is the 1st gen., or a 2nd gen. Axiom. The machine in the bottom (with the volume slider located at the Top-Left, and the darker black color), is the latest edition, though. That much is certain...

    Connections?

    You're ADD? I have not been able to decide for myself, but I'm either SUBTRACT or DIVIDE. Depends on what News report I just accidentally watched. :P

    600 Ohm Headphones

    Bad experience I once purchased some AKG K270S that I had to return. Turned out they required a special headphone amplifier piece of gear to use them. I had no idea that such things even existed. I plugged them into my Mackie Mixer board and could barely hear anything. I thought to myself...

    Small MIDI keyboard, with built in sounds? Does it even exist?

    Yeah, but it only comes in black. Now, if they had a neon blue, well then! <grin>
