    Is an 85 meg ROM block good or bad

    Lots of the sites listing the Motif's features are pushing the ROM blockage on this machine while lots of synth wiz friends are calling the Motif the 'ROM'pler of all times. I understand that a ROM block is essentially the OSC of the keyboard, but using samples. Is this good or bad ? I plan on...

    The Motif 6 vs. Kurzweil K2500S w/KDFX

    well how bout this ? Since the Motif looks like a beefed up version of the CS6X, why not get a used CS6X + a K2500R (sampling and KDFX optional) and go work with that ?

    The Motif 6 vs. Kurzweil K2500S w/KDFX

    Hello group, I am back. The money I need to get my workstations is finally here but I am at a minor fork in the road. I could either go with the Yamaha Motif 6 (61 key version) or the Kurzweil K2500 (Sampling option would be nice, but not required). They both are insane workstations and you both...

    anyone doing this?

    I think you can I think you can, not to sure if Yammy tech support will be of any help since this is a mod that normally would be unsupported. Also try emailing some of the people on HarmonyCentral.com synth review boards who did special things to it

    The Challenge (build a Giga Sampler computer at or under $700)

    Man I AM tech support, forget callin them. The last time I called Dell techsupport was to find out why my cdrom was showing up as a floppy drive in windows. If any of you are doing ANYTHING with music and computers, you gotta be able to hold your own. This means build your systems, upgrade them...

    The Challenge (build a Giga Sampler computer at or under $700)

    L2 Cache running @ Processor clocked speed = Celeron L2 Cache running @ system clock speed (usually 100-200mhz) = Pentium And yes a 4 cynlindar trecel would be powerful enough to run in indy, the engine would just have to be modded a bit. All processors, be they Intel/Celeron,RISC, PPC...

    The Challenge (build a Giga Sampler computer at or under $700)

    Response to P3 or Celeron A P3 is essentially a P2 + 70 new instructions. It is in no way a process class upgrade ex: 486 to 586. Think of it like this P2+70 new instructions (which audio programs don't use) = P3 ! But a P3 is in no way a 786, its still in the 686 processor class. Now, celerons...

    The Challenge (build a Giga Sampler computer at or under $700)

    Dude, that system is ok, but the one I built is brand new. $720's good and all, but I'd rather just build it all myself and know exactly what boards are going in. I mean, if we are going to resort to buying consumer ready computers for this, we might as well make an e-machine cluster. Remember...

    The Challenge (build a Giga Sampler computer at or under $700)

    Man an e-machine ? Thats a f-ckin mortal sin dude ! I know sooooooooo many people who have had everything from incompatibility issues, to the thing just wouldn't turn on. I mean, Id consider it, then quickly go back to building my own system. I have no clue as to how you pulled that off with no...

    The Challenge (build a Giga Sampler computer at or under $700)

    No, it comes pretested for being overclocked to 855mhz and it has heat sinks, and yes blow jobs as well (optional)

    Hi I need to know what a good mixer would be for my digital midi studio. Heres the list Kurzweil K2600S Yamaha CS6X Emu ESI-2000 w/Turbo Moog Rogue (yup) Now I was thinking about the Tascam TM-D1000, and the Behringer MX2004A. I want to keep it low so I will have enough money for my monitors...

    MIDI Power glove ?

    Hey people, a couple of days ago, I heard that you could hack a power glove to essentially turn it into a midi controller ? Is this true ? Have any of you done so ? Do you have any website on howto do something like this ? Thanks

    Kurzweil K2600S vs. Supernova II PRO X

    Hello all, I need help deciding between two synths. My setup will consist of a CS6X and an ESI-2000 w/Turbo. I have been looking at the Kurzweil series for a good while now, and heard lots of good stuff about it but I heard the envolopes on it were not the best and that a VA (virtual analog)...

    Access Virus or Novation Super Nova?

    Well both of them are really bad ass synths. I see the Nova as more of a "trancy" type synth and the virus as more of a squetchy bass line kinda synth. Both of them can preform each others essential functions, but I think if you're doing trance, you wanna stick to the Nova. But don't get me...
