    Lowrey Genie

    I don't have personal knowledge of this organ, but the information I found wasn't too complimentary towards this model. Sounds like it was very overpriced and poorly built. I found a thread in a musicplayer.com forum discussing it HERE, though they might be talking about the single manual...

    Another Dubious Cry For Help

    I would add to all the excellent advice given previously that, if you're going to be using that basement for any length of time, spend some time and money acoustically treating it. It doesn't matter what equipment you buy, nothing is going to reproduce well in an untreated rectangular room with...

    Anyone Who Owns A KARMA

    I know, it doesn't make sense. I think I'm probably misunderstanding the manual. Regardless, you will find the switch to enable portamento where I described, that much I'm sure of. ;) Ted

    Anyone Who Owns A KARMA

    The KARMA MW software gives you access to all the parameters of the KARMA GE's (Generated Effects) and allows you to program your own. As it stands on the KARMA itself, you can only modify a limited number of parameters on a GE and you have no say in which ones they are. In addition, the MW...

    Anyone Who Owns A KARMA

    Yes. Sequencer mode is for, well, sequencing. Program mode is for programs. Combi mode is for, you guessed it! Combis! (See a pattern here?) :p Honestly, I haven't done a lot of programming myself. I do occasionally muck about with the KARMA MW software and, though I really haven't got a clue...

    Studio desk

    The swivel shelves have an arm that bolts to the upright column of the desk. They swivel a little less than 180º due to the hardware getting in the way. You can mount them either on the inside or the outside of the post. As for stacking your monitors. Well, I'm no expert, but common sense would...

    insurance?

    A lot depends on how you use your equipment. Is it going to be in a home studio and stay there? Is it in a commercial studio and staying there? Or do you use it to gig and move it around a lot? If it stays in your home, you can get a rider for your homeowner's policy to insure the expensive...

    Please, Please help me

    Glenn- The simple answer is that a multi-input soundcard will allow you to send the signal anywhere you want. It doesn't know or care. If you'll only be recording at most 3 inputs simultaneously and only two of them are mics, and you're sure you're not going to need more than that, then get...

    Anyone Who Owns A KARMA

    Ben- I've got a KARMA and I didn't know the answer to this question. After looking at the manuals, it looks to me as if you can only enable portamento on programs using the MOSS board (if you have one installed). If so, then it's available on the 3.1:Ed-Pitch page and it can be...

    Studio desk

    Well, Glenn, I can try to post a couple of pics for your perusal. My point in listing the things I have on it was to show just how large it actually is! There are two models as you no doubt saw. Since the desk doesn't have the side supports, you can't add the shelves which are great for...

    Studio desk

    Glenn- I gave a link to Ikea's page. There are pictures of the various configurations there. As for my Jerker, well I haven't taken any pictures of it, but maybe I could get my girlfriend to do some this weekend! :eek: Ted

    Studio desk

    FWIW, Ikea has a desk called the "Jerker" (I kid you not) which I'm using to hold a Yamaha KX88, three monitors (computer) several other pieces of gear (synths, MIDI interfaces, etc) three sets of monitors (Event 20/20p, Audiophile SP5B and a couple of little Yamaha speakers I can't remember) in...

    Need Help Building A Home Studio

    Brooke- Welcome to the board! I think maybe you posted this in the wrong forum. It sounds as if you are asking about equipment more than about designing and building the studio itself. Of course, if you want a good sounding demo, treating your room to improve the sound is part of the equation...

    Yes!!! Korg Oasys

    Stephen Kay (KARMA inventor) has been hinting at something big, I guess this is it! I haven't been able to find the pricing. How much is it going to be? Ted

    Any point in using DAW/PC combo?

    I believe the SIAB/DAW combination offers the best of both worlds. I recently got an AKAI DPS24 (awesome SIAB, BTW) and have paired it up with my DAW running SONAR. There isn't much you can't do with this combination. You can freely move tracks back and forth and you can even dump tracks into...

    It looks interesting. Any idea how much it costs? Ted

    Sound module recommendation?

    I, too have owned Roland gear for decades. In fact, I remember as a teenager going to LA and visiting Roland's offices when they had just begun here in the US. My friend and I were actually allowed in (what were they thinking??) and I remember being surprised that they wanted to talk to us about...

    Sound module recommendation?

    Just curious- What show has a farting goose in it???? You working on a new production of "La Cage" perhaps? :p For what it's worth, I'd be very careful before purchasing anything Roland. Generally, they have a confusing OS, abysmal manuals and less than stellar customer support. Personally...

    Alternatives for Keystation 61es ?

    Ravishan- It's not exactly true that you couldn't use the Radium in church or other places without a computer. Using a program like Reason is only one way to use a controller keyboard. You could also purchase a sound module such as the Roland XV or JV series or Yamaha Motif rack or a Korg...

    Difference between Wurlitzer and Rhodes Electric Piano

    GamezBond- Yes, there is a difference between them and I have the hernia scars to prove it! :eek: (The Rhodes is a monster to move around!) They use different methods to create their distinctive sounds. The Wurlitzer uses metal "reeds" and the Rhodes "tines" (essentially little tuning forks...
