Yes. Yes, as long as the Kurzweil's pitch bend and mod wheels are set to the same channel that the Kawai is transmitting on. [EDIT: I assume that they'll affect all 16 channels simultaneously by default, but I believe you can also program different zones to respond to them.] Yes, either with...

^^^^^ As gecko zzed said. If the sound is going to be coming out of the Kurzweil then there's no reason to change anything about the way you have it connected up to everything else. All you'd be doing is connecting a controller to it via MIDI so the controller can send it MIDI messages-- Note...

Have you selected the Fast Track Ultra as your audio output device in Adobe Audition?

If you're using the Kurzweil as a sound module but it doesn't have built-in speakers, you'll need to have its audio output(s) going to one or more external speakers (one for mono, two for stereo). Do you already have speakers or monitors or headphones that you use for playing the Kurzweil now...

If you connect a keyboard controller to your computer, you should be able to play virtual instruments with it regardless of whether you're actively recording the sound to tracks-- you just set up the track(s) as though you were going to record (i.e., select the desired MIDI In port and virtual...

Just a word of warning to anyone who hasn't applied last Tuesday's Windows Update yet-- it's a big one, and will take several hours to apply, similar to the time it took you to download and install the original Windows 10 update. Also, I had trouble installing it manually on my desktop...

There was a discussion about it over at Xpand!2 ***$1.00*** - MusicPlayer Forums that included comments from people who downloaded it. These are mostly guys who (I think) play keyboards professionally, so their comments about it might be of interest. I think the gist of their comments is...

You can use third-party plug-ins with Live Lite. I haven't tried to use Komplete with Live Lite, but if it works with Live Standard then it should work with Live Lite. You can look at the Feature Comparison table to see which features are available in which editions. Live Lite is more or less...

It's never a bad idea to mention when an update is impending, and 9.7 is not so far from 10. Besides, there's no telling whether Live will have a version 9.8 and 9.9 before jumping to 10. For instance, the last update of Live 8 before they jumped to Live 9 was 8.4.2. A lot of companies do have...

The updated version will be Live 9.7, which will be a free update for everyone with Live 9. :)

Here's a special deal for AIR Xpand!2 for only $1 (yes, that's one dollar): Xpand!2, Xpand!2 plugin, buy Xpand!2, download Xpand!2 trial, AIR Music Technology Xpand!2

There are many commercial DAWs available that should fit your needs, although the part about "have all the instruments virtually" might cost you a pretty penny. Many commercial DAWs tend to be quite pricey (hundreds of dollars), but they're usually available in three or so different editions...

I think that might depend on the soft synth as well as the patch. The mod wheel on many synths can be assigned to various parameters, so if the synth lets you assign the mod wheel to amplitude, and if the patch you've selected on the synth is set up to use that assignment, then CC #1...

If a soft synth doesn't recognize velocity differences on the Note events, then it may or may not respond to changes in the Channel Volume (MIDI CC #7) or Expression (MIDI CC #11). You could try automating those and see if they work. However, hard synths typically have a knob or slider for...

El Capitan is 10.11, isn't it? 10.9 is Mavericks. The following page says Live 8.4.2 works with 10.9: https://www.ableton.com/en/help/article/mavericks-compatibility/ You should be able to update your Live 8.2.6 to Live 8.4.2 at no cost.

Yes, there's a free version of Forte-- Forte Free. There's also a free version of Finale-- Finale NotePad. A rather robust free notation program is MuseScore. Then there's NCH Crescendo, which is rather basic but easy to use-- I actually prefer it over the others when it comes to quickly...

This is just a heads-up for anyone who is looking for a free DAW, or who already uses the free T4 version of Tracktion, or who already has a complimentary copy of the T5 version that they got through buying a Behringer or Mackie product. Tracktion has now made T5 available for free, so T4 users...

Wow, I'm going to add this to my stash of problems and solutions to be aware of. I haven't even seen any headphones with buttons like that-- but then, I haven't been shopping for any new headphones in several years, so I guess I'm just waaay behind the times! ;) Anyway, I would never have...

That's great, Paj! It's always nice when problems have a happy ending-- especially computer problems. ;)

Drat, I forgot that he said he prefers composing with a staff view! I'll have to reassess the list I posted. :( That's weird that Sound Forge wouldn't work on Windows 7 (if that's what you're saying). I don't have Sound Forge, but ACID Xpress runs on Windows 10 no problem, so I'd think that...
