First of all, I'm not familiar with an XPC Music computer. Is it PC based? Mac based? Maybe Linux? Or is it some kind of dedicated hardware that's advanced enough to merit the 'computer' tag without actually having any capabilties that a traditional computer has like word processing or internet...

If you're on a PC, download a very useful program called midi-ox. That will give you a good read on whether it's your keyboard or your interface that's dropping midi notes. Google it!

My advice would be to start with the Akai LPD8 which you can get for $49.99 @ Musicians Friend. I agree w/the-muisic-man that it's a great pad controller and at the price it's an incredible value. It will also let you get your feet wet in playing drums w/ your fingers to see if you like it or...

Good! Stick with it and don't get discouraged --- similar (or not so similar) problems will crop up from time to time. Take time to REALLY solve them. Don't just stop when you've found a 'workaround'...

So I'll know that you're still watching this sleepy subforum. What you need is a soft sampler that plays WAV's. You gave up pretty quickly in your googling or else you would've found this:, It's a free soft sampler that plays WAV files and there are many others out there. A quick search @...

If you're not seeing Pianissimo in the VSTi section, you need to go to 'Options', then 'Preferences' and scroll down until you see 'VST'. You need to tell Reaper where the Pianissimo.dll file is for it to show up in the VSTi instruments, and that means using the 'Browse' command until you find...

I have an answer for you -- if you want it, post again.

I use REAPER as my day-in, day out DAW. Any modern controller or synth you buy has a USB output jack which handles both MIDI in and MIDI out. If you buy it new, it will probably come with a USB cable in the box. This hooks directly into your computer, and you select it in REAPER simply by...

As far as your problem w/the kits changing every time you start playback, try putting a Program Change command at the start of the track. You may need to back off the inital downbeat of the song by 5ms or so to give the Program Change command time to work. There is an easy way to do this -...

Go to KVR.com and search for free Macintosh compatible guitar amp simulators. You do this by entering the 'Search' area and filling out the drop-down form. My cursory search produced results from companies like LePou Plugins, Ignite Amps and Aura Plug so there are many out there. If you can't...

If you're on PC check out One Small Clue's 'Poise'. It has everything you need including the ability to load WAV. AIFF and Sound Font files. It's $49 on this side of the pond, and a demo version is available so you can see if it suits your needs.

Well, hush my mouth! Your DR-660 DOES accept midi note numbers! That's one to file away in the 'never make THAT mistake again' folder... I'm a guitar player too and my 'lame manual beat programming' skills are not lame at all. In fact, I've been at it for 30 years and if I wanted to I could...

You use the words 'expression' and 'expressively', but those terms take in a broad range especially when applied to synthesized string parts. if it's velocity and aftertouch you're after, I recommend that you look at the HUGE range of dedicated MIDI controllers that are out there now. For...

it's not possible to use the DR-660 as a sound module. It doesn't accept anything through it's midi in except midi clock. It would need to accept midi note numbers for it to be used that way, and it does not. In other words, what you're willing to get dirty and hungry for doesn't exist... You...

Google 'MidiOx'. It's a great little program that shows you more ways to look at midi then you'll probably ever use. I've found it indespensible over the years for diagnosing all types of midi problems. As far as your problem goes, I don't think the problem is in the pedal. It's probably in...

That's weird --- and it's a serious problem. You've done the right thing and downloaded midi-ox - your next step is to reinitalize the keyboard, which shouldn't be too much of a problem because it doesn't sound like you've done much programming that you want to keep. If you have your manual...

That keyboard sells for around $100-$125. Those controller keyboards --- especially the 25 key variety --- are so thick on the ground that in one trip to eBay you'll find a bunch of them for that much or less. Those are a safe buy on the used market because either they work or they don't. Just...

If you're still here --- or checking here --- I can explain. Velocity sensitvity is the culprit. It is mapped to the brightness of the patches on the DX7. Your Korg Trinity sends a larger number of values than the DX7 keyboard making the DX7 seem brighter when played from the Korg keyboard, If...

Yes. Any USB cable will work.

The short answer is to connect the A30 via USB to the computer, then connect another USB cable to the Micro X for the midi input. Then route the A30 to a track as the master and use Cubase's midi out functions to designate the Micro X as the playback device.
