And the winner is... ...the Alesis QS7.1 After trying the Yamaha S30, the Roland XP-30 and the Alesis QS7.1, the QS7.1 was far and away the best keyboard for the money. There is, of course, an element of risk in regards to Alesis's current (and more importantly, future) state of affairs...

Mirrored from the Alesis Equipment forum While flipping through the great tome known to many as the User Manual for my newly-purchased QS7.1, I discovered a section on SysEx dumps of programs and banks via either a MIDI connection or the serial port on the back of the QS7.1. Doing a little...

While flipping through the great tome known to many as the User Manual for my newly-purchased QS7.1, I discovered a section on SysEx dumps of programs and banks via either a MIDI connection or the serial port on the back of the QS7.1. Doing a little digging, I found out about and downloaded a...

Thanks Thanks for the information; I had never heard of that test before. However, I can't picture Mars or Guitar Center setting all of that up, so I'll probably have to stick to the "listen to them" test (a.k.a. the "does it sound like noise?" test). :p Hmm... popular mantra around these...

Re: SX-7 It's probably common knowledge, but what is a "pink noise test"? Would running one be a good idea in the decision-making process? (assuming it's possible to run in a buying situation) Also, is the quality of the amps included in low-end active monitors enough to drive the preference...

"Drag" What is "drag", and what kind of effect would it have on a monitor's performance? "Throws" Another term I'm not familiar with. What does this mean?

The best I've tried so far was the Yamaha P200. It's about as close as I've seen to "real" piano sound and action. And it's under $2000 (with built-in speakers). The reason I'm not looking at buying it is the fact that I need more than piano (and the other sounds on the P200) for my use...

Way ahead of you... ;) I'll try the wildcard search - I ran a search on "LSR25", and that yielded several posts. I haven't run the "LSR24P" search yet. But yes, there is definitely information on the LSR25P out there... the only reason I had trouble finding them before was the fact that "SRM"...

Thanks for the information, Queue. Follow-up I found the post that referenced the JBL monitors: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?threadid=32060 The post talks about SRM monitors, not LSR. Is this a different model of JBL monitors, or just a missed three-letter combination?

Sorry... what's a 5.1 setup? EDIT: On a whim, I decided to make the rounds of the online music retailers again... this time, musiciansfriend.com, marsmusic.com, zzounds.com and sweetwater.com all had the JBL monitors. Bizarre.

Queue Actually, I didn't need the search feature for the JBLs; I actually read about them in a post, then went to musiciansfriend.com (where the person in the post said thay had just bought them) to look up the price and specs. After that, I probably would have searched for opinions, but I...

I've been looking at monitors for a home recording solution I'm setting up, and several names have come up. I'd like to keep the price close to or under $500 for the pair. The monitors I've looked at or heard of so far in that range are: Event: PS-5, PS-6, PS-8, 20/20 Tannoy: PROTO-J, Reveal...

kristian Try the Yamaha P200. It is an amazingly good stage piano for under $2000. As a long-time piano player, I was very impressed by the authenticity of its sound. darrin I did a double-take on the price of the sl-990, as the sl-880 is $700, and the sl-760 is $500. I much prefer...

I believe that 300W is the standard recommendation for most computers' power supply, not just Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs). The power supply (obviously) supplies power to all components in your computer that need it. This includes the lights on keyboards and the front panel of a computer...

Just wanted to follow up on this, Denis, if you're still checking in on the thread. "Aftertouch" is the correct term; at the time, I hadn't heard of it. And I believe you are correct - the PSR-540 does not have that feature.

Roel, DavidK, Porter... :eek: Ouch... score one for all-in-one synthesizers.

I have, 1299. (see previous response) However, as an interesting side note, as long as the synth is General MIDI-compatible, you should be able to pick up modules and use the synth's keyboard as a "controller", using the new module's patches. This would be the same as buying a controller and...

A few things... Before the laundry list of recommendations, I should say that the computer you mention sounds like it should do the trick. Just check (as I'm sure you have) to make sure your OS and specs meet (and preferably exceed) the minimum requirements for the sound card and software...

Also looking at the jv-1010 I am looking at the Roland jv-1010 and a Fatar (StudioLogic) SL-161 MIDI controller as part of my home recording solution. However, I was wondering if, for non-computer use, the patches on the jv-1010 could be selected from the controller rather than via the...

Very nice song! I hesitate to comment on the mix, as I really haven't done much (okay, any) mixing myself. However, I really like the song, and can tell you some of the things I noticed. First, the bass (the level, I think, but perhaps the instrument) seemed to be a bit overwhelming - I found...
