    Opposite Sex

    spawned New thought for a song title: I never kissed a guy, And I like it. Oh, and uh, as if it actually needed to be said, It's gotta be sung by a man.

    Opposite Sex

    heehaw LOL This funny thought struck me halfway through - Are you homophobic? ROFLMAO But most truly, aside from some grammar problems, I liked it more than a little. I think it's almost a physche probe and could be a good starting point for some Shrink's research. Again, all humor...

    Tell us a story!

    don't judge by appearances I won't bore you with a novel, but this might be the last couple chapters of the music section of my life so far: I stopped listening to the radio somewhere about 1988. Beginning in the mid-80's I found what passed for music got less and less artisitic, less...

    Midi out of tune

    Hmmmm I don't know your equipment at all, but I have a couple of ideas. 1) Assuming that the whole piano instrument seems sharp, and not just a particular register, you can detune the piano instrument a certain number of cents until it sounds right to your ears. As you may know, there are 100...

    M-Audio Axiom Keys & Pads used Separately?

    Download from M-Audio Here's the link to download it. But, I notice that the file size is smaller than the file I originally have for the Axiom 61. So I don't know if the section numbers have changed or not from what I advised you to read. Click the link...

    MIDI files don't play in Windows Media Player

    Solution found. From another site, I found the answer, and it works. "Choose Microsoft Wavetable SW Synth in Control Panel->Sounds and Audio Devices->Audio tab->MIDI music playback section? I think MS Wavetable SW Synth comes with Windows so you don't need to buy anything extra. If you...

    MIDI files don't play in Windows Media Player

    Speaking of.... In the years since its introduction, has M-Audio ever upgraded the Audiophile 2496 card to include a GM soundset as part of its operation? I guess I could just google and find out. :(

    MIDI files don't play in Windows Media Player

    A couple reasons. 1) Convenience - Lots of times, I just want to listen to a MIDI file quickly to ascertain something. I don't want open and then setup Sonar with additional tracks to get access to Dxi just to listen to a MIDI song. 2) Most of what I do is on piano. The soft synths from...

    MIDI files don't play in Windows Media Player

    Hey guys, I'ts been a few years since I tampered with all this stuff, and I've forgotten some things. Help please? I want to start using Sonar III again, and have an Audiophile 2496 sitting side by side a Creative Labs Audigy in my Dell XPS tower. Back in 2004, I remember that I had to...

    Rights question

    Furthering Ok, I think that helps some. Maybe I did use the wrong term, "Trademark", to get at the heart of my question. But I think you did understand my "dilemma". So... let's assume this song I wrote does end up being a platinum hit, before I record it, I wish to know if it's okay to do...

    Rights question

    I penned some lyrics to a song a couple years ago, and named it "Wyle Coyote". Is this legal, doable? Can you reference a trademarked cartoon character and reference it or build a song around the character? Thanks in advance for any knowledgeable input.

    F-90: MIDI or analog?

    Answers 1) Yes 2) TS - unbalanced cables (The F-90 does not accomodate TRS or XLR balanced cables) 3) Depends - MIDI recording, which the F-90 has, along with its recording mode (limited sequencer), allows you to record your piano playing and then play it back at the push of a button. The...

    Need electronics help - 2 questions

    Flash memory That makes sense. My Kurzweil has what is called P-Ram in it (Program Ram), which requires 3 AA batteries to retain the memory in it. It did not dawn on me that the technology of something like my USB memory stick, could actually be used in synthesizers. Flash memory is still...

    Need electronics help - 2 questions

    2nd question - Where is the battery? I've had my Novation Supernova II for 5 years, and know that the battery for saving my programs must be needing to be replaced, although I've had no issues thus far. While taking apart my keyboard to clean dust and dirt out of its contacts, I thought I...

    Need help with a simple MIDI setup

    The drawback from this method is that by bypassing the Roland synth and taking your MIDI cable from your keyboard controller directly to your computer, you will not be able to play your musical gear without also having to turn on your computer. Maybe not an issue to you, but this method does...

    Need help with a simple MIDI setup

    MMmmmmm maybe, let's look and see. The last step is where the issue lies, I believe. You are correct in your last assumption of using THRU from your Roland, but only if you are now wishing to also control your computer rig from your MIDI controller. More on this at the end (below). But...
