I bought a Yamaha FS1-R years ago when they were being discontinued (got a very good price). It worked well for about a year, then started to have problems. Sometimes, when I power it up, the controls either do not work, or the display comes up "washed out" or blank. Letting it sit (powered...

If you want realistic sounds, the best way to go is probably something that plays samples. There are a few soft-synths that come with their own sample sets (anything from Atmosphere to some of the Edirol stuff etc) however you can't add to their sample sets. Soooo, some type of software...

Not sure.... have you checked the ins downloads on the Cakewalk website. If you don't see it labeled, it may be in the generic Roland zip file. Also, as Roland makes a ton of instruments, does it have the same patches as another instrument which is defined... example, the expansion boards used...

I am trying to switch patches on my SY77 (I like it, it's old like me!!) using Sonar 3. The patch switches fine, but not the bank (ie, can't get it to go from card to user to preset etc.) I am using the instrument definition provided by cakewalk for this. However, in the cakewalk manual, it...

James, U da MAN!! (of course you knew that!!) Yes, it is great to get help from the best knowledge base around! Thanks and take care.

Hello, I need an instrument definition for the patches for a Roland SRX04 Symphonic String Expansion board. I looked around the Cakewalk website but didn't see one (although I have been known to look right at them and miss them) Usually, I can call up a bank in MidiQuest9XL and save it as a...

C'mon this is obvious. If you bought Cubase, wouldn't you be ashamed to admit it? Take Care

I don't know.... people say the same about me... like the first president of the US was James Hansen (well, he was the first person with that title), the battle of Waterloo was 6/18/1815 etc. But when people ask, I tell them I don't know any trivial knowledge.... it's all important. Anyway...

When I do things like join two files, want to cut out small portions etc. I just find it easier in a wav editor. There are also the elements mentioned like DC offset. As was stated... just a matter of comfort. Of the three mentioned above, CEP (now Audition or something) Sound Forge and...

I do that too, but I only remember the stuff I use on a regular basis.... like midi editing and adding audio effects. How the heck did you ever learn that track about opening files when effects are missing and you have to hold shift down.... geeez. You got me beat and I thought I knew a fair...

Hmmmmm, will have to experiment a bit. Moved the loop points around.... but it didn't seem to show up that way in Cyclone. Thanks for the tip Hey for somebody who doesn't like loops... how do you know so much? (I've always used Acid for this myself and wonder if I could stop and just use...

Moskus, Thanks guy.... that was one of the elements I looked at when trying to solve this problem. Apparently there are two answers....... 1) The easiest, right click on the loop, go to the groove tab and click enable looping. Then when you open it in Cyclone, it is sliced.... not the...

I did a search on this forum, looked in the help files and re-perused the "Using Cyclone DXi" from Cakewalk, but still have this question. When I load an Acidized loop into Cyclone it is already divided. However, when I load a regular wav file.... for example a percussion loop of roughly 4...

I have a pretty expanded XV5080. 4 of the JV expansion cards and 2 and the new expansion cards. Also got the sampling RAM (I have about 5-6 CD roms of s700 samples). It does "realistic" sounds amazingly well. However, the best bet is to go listen to them yourself in a music store. If...

Yes. They certainly make editing an individual wav file easier. The three I have tried and use most frequently are Cool Edit (now Adobe Audition or something like that), WavLab and Sound Forge. They are all good, come with various effects and are pretty easy to use. Take Care

Most programs (Sonar, Cubase, Logic. N-tracks etc.) do almost everything. The questions (I think) are: what are the extras (do I need/want them), how easy is it to use and does it work well on my machine/with other software I use. I have used Cakewalk since Cakewalk 3 or 4. Briefly tried...

I have two "projects" going. One is my second solo piano CD and the other a cd of electronic music/ new age/celtic/conceptual. I have about 3-5 songs in various stages of development at any given time for the solo piano CD. Every time I practice, usually 5 days a week or so, I noodle around...

I did this and it worked fine. First make sure you are in the sonar3 folder (on my regedit it was in a folder marked SONAR PRODUCER....not the SONAR folder above it). Next, it sounds like you are typing the name to the patch.... what you want to type in is the name to the folder where...

I think the way to group tracks is to route say all the drum tracks to BusA, pads to BusB etc. Each individual track can have it's own eq, compression, effects etc. or if you are going to use the same effect/eq setting etc, you can just patch that in on the bus. That way if you have an...
