Yes- guitars sound best as guitars and keyboards as keyboards- but guitarists now have reliable and easy access to MIDI- thanks to kit such as the TriplePlay- and are able to work in the areas of original sound generation which were not previously an option- as far as I'm aware. I'm...

No guitar synth can accurately emulate all the characteristics of keyboards but they can, and do- sound like keyboards. More than that and you'd have to become a keyboard player. I'm happy to be a guitarist who can play keyboard sounds at the flip of a switch. BUT when it comes to creating...

Yes- I use the TriplePlay. It comes with a range of interesting software, Kontakt, Sampletank 2, Reaktor, Guitar Rig etc and its factory patches sound sweet. You can manipulate and save your own variants of the factory patches or use third-party VSTs. I'm using Spectrasonics Omnisphere to...

26. Maybe 27. There's a stolen one out there someplace - which is still mine.

I can't speak for your kit- of course- but mine sounds just like it says on the tin. I've got a range of pianos and organ presets- all adjustable - which sound like the real deal. The electric pianos in particular are addictive- but I don't have any concert-quality grands. They're...

As a guitarist you could do what I did- forget about using a MIDI keyboard and play MIDI guitar with a Fishman Tripleplay guitar pickup. It's a WiFi MIDI guitar system which comes with a bunch of very useful synths and sample apps. You access its patches via the solid TriplePlay software...

What a mug ! Dead guitar lead. I ALWAYS check that first, but............ Thanks for your input- much appreciated and I'm sorry to have wasted your time. On the upside- the mixer runs very quietly and seems to have enough punch for the band . I'm looking forward to adding the other...

Well......I'm baffled. I can't get a peep out of this new mixer. I'm inputting passive guitar, two passive speakers connected correctly, faders, knobs set as suggested, all the unit indicator lights work as expected- no sound. Dimwit user or faulty mixer ?

Well- I can't find any specs. for them. I think they're elderly- and Google ain't what it used to be.

Thank you, rob. I'll be sure to ask for budget-compatible advice.

Thanks for that , rob- reassuring. The speakers are Peavey Eurosys 2 -product # 15005660- good solid jobs. I don't have six hundred quid to spare for a new pair. The new powered mixer is a Behringer PMP6000...

Hello- I've been using a pair of passive Peavey speakers in a PA system- 8 Ohms - Peavey amp rated at 150 watts per channel into 8 Ohms. Now I have a larger mixer rated at 300 watts per channel into 8 Ohms. I'm never going to be cranking the mixer up full so- can I get away with using...

Hello there- It's Dance eJay 2- Techno Edition. It's an early one from back when you could manipulate the samples in a manner of ways. The newer ones were never as good. I ran that ol' eJay from Win98 Second Edition right through to XP. Now I want to use it as a tool to get non-musicians...

Hello- I've got some old music software - eJay in particular- that I used to run on Win2K Pro but can't run on my Windows 7 rig. How can I set up a dual boot with Win2K Pro on an external USB3 drive ? I have the retail discs for both OS.

I guess that most people are against Chinese guitars- probably for their own good reasons- but this might be of interest to you as a low-cost starter; Custom 7 Strings Electric Guitar Black One Piece Neck Ebony Fingerboard Electric Guitar From China Hot Oem Guitar Acoustic Bass Guitar Facts...

Hello jimmy 69- thanks for the welcome back. I hadn't realised it was an elderly thread- I just started at the top of the page. :) A year already ? Where does the time go ? Yes, I'm an old acoustic picker just settling down with electrics. The opening post on tempered tuning caught...

With reference to the thread topic; Over time- many years- players develop a ' guitar ear '. They know that every instrument is different, every string is different, every technique of sounding a string is different. They ' nip ' apparently perfectly tuned guitars according to personal...

Well, never mind, I'll ask the old lady at the bus-stop.

Hmmm. OK then, can I use my Bluetooth Android tablet to play a digital collection through Bluetooth speakers ?

Hello- I want a player that will play my CD collection and also play my digital collection, MP3/4, .WAV etc. with good digital cataloguing and playback selection . Something around £200 sterling ? I've already got good speakers. Your advice appreciated.
