Rob- Like most people who are new to MIDI, you are a little confused about what it is. There are no "MIDI sounds" MIDI is a set of communication instructions designed to allow enabled devices from different manufacturers to work with each other. If a device is MIDI enabled, it is capable of...

Matt- There are different ways to work with MIDI and what methods you can use to input it vary with the device and software you are using. Some devices support step entry, which allows you to define each event in a performance. This can be done on a grid or through an event list. Entering...

I hope you never do. I lost $900.00 in an attempt to get my DPS24. The guy scammed a lot of people, though I think I lost the most. :( The good news is that I didn't let him get away with it. I immediately contacted the local police where he lives and rounded up as many other victims as I...

Well, I don't use ProTools so I might not be much help, but it sounds to me as if the problem is either that you don't have the output of the MIDI track set to the MIDI Sport, or you don't have the MIDI Sport configured in ProTools, or some kind of a driver problem with the MIDISport. I use...

Before this thread degenerates any further...;) Another giveaway that it was a scam was his use of Western Union. I would NEVER pay anyone I didn't trust implicitly through Western Union. Not only is it expensive, you will have absolutely NO recourse or protection should the transaction go...

You need to be much more specific. What keyboard? What module? If the keyboard has a MIDI "OUT" on it, then yes, you should be able to play the sound module from the keyboard. Ted

I would contend that you might be the exception, Kevin. One only needs to take a look at the computer and soundcard forum here or on any of the major software applications web sites to find people having countless difficulties configuring and using their DAWs. I do think this situation has...

S.I.A.B is a common designation for an all-in-one recording solution. Fruit- Don't let all the negative comments totally dissuade you from an S.I.A.B. They DO have some advantages. In fact, all the things cited as drawbacks are precisely what make them superior for some people. Now, before I...

HERE'S a link to the owners manual. I own a JV1010, but to be honest, I never used it beyond playing a single sound at a time and it's been sitting idle for quite a long time now. If you're trying to use it multi-timbrally, good luck. The JV1010 is legendary (as is much of Roland's gear) for...

Let me preface by saying I know absolutely nothing regarding vintage keyboard service. So my thoughts are probably useless and devoid of helpful information... That said, since the problem manifests after the unit has been on for a period of time, my first thought would be something in regards...

I don't know much about the band, but there was just a thing on them in Keyboard in their "Spotlight". I think it's in the January issue. It sounds like they use a lot of different analog boards, they specifically mention liking the SuperNova 2 and Nord Lead. They also sample all kinds of...

THIS place sells used acoustical draperies in a number of colors and sizes for pretty reasonable prices. I've been considering getting some for my recording space in my new house, but I haven't made my mind up yet. I've never bought from them so I don't know anything about how reliable they...

I don't know how I missed this thread! I've owned a KARMA for a couple of years now and it's truly an amazing board. It is, without question, the deepest synth I have ever owned. If you're willing to spend the time learning it- and it does take some time- you will be rewarded with a wealth of...

I know you posted this question regarding the pitch correction a while ago, but there was a thread regarding its usefulness on the DPS24 forum today. You can find it HERE Apparently, used judiciously, it's quite good and relatively transparent. I should have trusted that it was good. So far...

A lot has been written about this to be sure. Suffice to say, there are valid reasons for using a higher bit depth (24 over 16), but fewer justifications for higher sampling rates (there will be many who will disagree, no doubt). A lot depends on what your ultimate plans are for your...

I Googled "voltrack" and came up with this: Error Message "Exception Error 00 in VxD DISKTSD from VOLTRACK(04)" with Norton Utilities or Zip Rescue, win95/win98 This primarily affects windows 95 but it might also show up in Windows 98. Situation: While installing Norton Utilities, or when...

The biggest thing you'll be missing are full-sized keys. Mini-keys will make it vitually useless for any real playing and will probably mess up your technique if you use it extensively. Ted

Ummm...actually it DOES Ted

I have not used those features so far so I can't tell you how well they work. My guess would be that most such algorithms tend to leave some artifacts behind unless used very judiciously. I don't know that you'd be very happy with processing an entire track through it, but that would be true of...

First, I'm going to assume that in asking about "synth components" you're primarily interested in subtractive synthesis. I found THIS. It's a little hard to read, but he has audio links so you can hear what he's describing. Also, HERE. An excellent page. These should get you started. Ted
