No, it is not "MIDI - ready". While it does have a GK-2A hexaphonic pickup installed, its output is not MIDI. You require a device to convert the hex pickup signal - a Roland gutar synth (GR-33/50/09/30 etc.) is the common device, but there are other products out there that accept the 13 Pin...

Hey dobro ! I would think that the carpet would cut down vibration - in effect, you would think that would cut down noise. Too much trouble to take them off as an experiment ? Just a quick thought. cheers, Mike (on vacation in Brisbane, and really shouldn't be online ... getting dirty looks...

Actually, I can surely agree with you on that - while I find the finish and the wood is very nice, it's the little things that I notice after a while. Even around the piezo slider pots - first, it's a really cheap set of pots - noisy as hell. But the way they are set into the body just looks...

One word ... Godin I have an LGX-SA, and it is one MF of a guitar ! I had tried a Brian Moore here in Korea recently, and I tell you, I definitely like my Godin much better. For me, anyway, it's a much more playable guitar. And the built in synth access beats the GK-2A all to hell - not to...

Re: Cubasis vst I'm a Frayed Knot ... :D Yes, you can do this, but it also requires you to pick an audio channel to record to - you've only got choices from 1 - 8 .... This is in the column marked Chn. ---edit--- Hey, I'm just editing this and looking at Audio|System from the pull down...

I use Cubasis VST, and have no problem helping those in need ! :D I agree, the manual (even the HARDCOPY - yes, I have one) bites. But a lot of it is trial and error. Took me nearly 2 hours to record my first sound (3 years ago). I am definitely not fully versed in all its features, but it does...

These are great stories ! I had two amps before my first "real" amp. A "Paul" (10 watt P.O.S.) at 13, then a Farfisa (Fartfeces :D ) solid state that really sucked (from 15 to 17). When I was 16/17, I found a 70 Fender Vibrosonic (100 W - 15 " speaker) in the paper, and went to see it. The...

I've got the exact same rack - I bought it at Saved by Technology in T.O. many moons ago. Try here: http://www.savedbytechnology.com/ Good luck ! mike

If this is the situation, you probably have a poor connection (cold solder joint, faulty connector, dirty contacts, etc.), most likely in that jack (I am assuming you mean the instrument jack when you say plug). It may be fixed by contact cleaner, replacing a jack, or re-flowing a solder joint...

Are you packing the crates yourself ? If so, line the inside with heavy poly to avoid at least some mositure. Every 2 - 4 years most of my shit gets moved around the world, and I have yet to lose anything substantial (rack gear, amps, guitars, have all made it fine). When I see the crates get...

Not often in this forum, but this guy is going to be in Seoul, and is purported to be big in the Detroit scene. True ? Untrue ? Hype ? Should I make an effort ? (Shit, I think it's tomorrow ...) mike

Amen to that ... One thing, if you do have experience working with electronics (troubleshooting techniques, ability to read schematics, familiarity with certain circuit configurations, etc ), hopefully, you can dig up service manuals. The manufacturers of most of this equipment made some...

Genius, sheer genius ! :cool:

This is an excellent utility for memory testing: http://www.memtest86.com/ Just use a bootable floppy. At least you'll be able to rule out the RAM if it is good. We use this all the time - you'd be surprised how much bad RAM is out there (sloppy techs, static, etc.) Good luck, Mike

I had this same problem with my SB Platinum, and when I'm drunk, I still forget... :o What you have to do is select the input you want to record - NOT select "What U hear". This is NOT done in Cubase (it is done within Windows or the Creative s/w). Where you do this depends on what sort of...

Here's some technical info: dBV: represents the level compared to 1 Volt RMS. 0dBV = 1V. There is no reference to impedance. dBu: represents the level compared to 0.775 Volts RMS with an unloaded, open circuit (hence the u = unloaded). and here's another letter to follow the db: dBm...

I wrap double sided tape around the metal blade (1 wrap only), then press fit the plastic top on. You can still tug the top off if you want, but it won't just pop off... mike

Not exactly - in North America (and South Korea, incidentally), dial tone is a combination of two frequencies - 350 and 440 Hz. If you want a pure 440Hz dial tone, go to France. :) Same with DTMF (what you get when you press your number keys on your telephone). They are a combination of...

ROTFLMAO @ David Lo Pan !!!! I'm dyin' over here :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Nobody else in the office really would get this, either. It's a shame I can't pass it on ...

Welcome 60's guy ! I consider myself one of those too (born there, values there). :cool: And Bruce's (Blue Bear) link that Spinsterwun put up is broken - I'll fix it right here (The "m" in htm didn't quite make it.) The article is too good to miss...:D mike
