That's the breaks with open source apps. If noone wants to take on a feature it doesn't get implemented. I'm honestly amazed that Audacity works as well as it does.

As long as a 25 key monosynth will do the trick, the BSII has the best MIDI implementation of today's lower priced monos plus it's not as limited as the Monologue. You can always had a larger (49, 61) controller-only board for Mainstage and polyphonic playing if you need it down the road.

Cubase can send MIDI clock as well as MTC. The EPS should repsond to this as well as the standard MIDI start/continue/stop messages sent by Cubase. Check the manuals for both Cubase and the EPS about particulars on the settings.

Since you mentioned a .wav file, what are you using to play the audio into the synth? Cassette ports tend to be very touchy about signal levels.

The loaded "sounds" are terrible because now it's just random bits in the patch RAM.

Yes. 1. Connect MPK to computer. 2. Create a MIDI track in Live with the MPK's port and MIDI channel selected as input. 3. Route the MIDI output of the track in Live to the port of your audio interface. Use channel 1, simply because all synths default to channel 1. No need to use any other channel u...

All cassette multitracks were designed for type II/chrome tapes. Using type I tapes will result in a severe loss of high frequencies and weird freq response over all becasue the noise reduction (Dolby or dbx) is not calibrated for type I. The original type 2 tapes were chromium dioxide (called "chr...

That kind of brass sound can be done with a few different Moogs or Oberheims, I remember hearing them on records back in the 70s. I see he used two Abysses to make that sound. It does sound nice.

It's almost certain that it's either the external supply or the internal power circuit. I doubt it's the power switch. Does wiggling the power cord and plug have any effect?

Try setting the bend range to 0 on a few patches and see if they stay in tune. That will confirm whether it's the bender.

I think you will find that the M3 sends a program change message to the JV when you load the combi. Try using EX2 and set the Bank Select to some bank that the JV doesn't use (check the JV manuals for bank MSB/LSB settings).

The CZ-5000 was my first synth. The sequencer is the bomb. Unlike so many sequencers, even in DAWs, in step mode each track can have it's own length so it's possible to create all kinds of fun polymetric behavior. I once set up a song with each track length based on prime numbers...7 bars, then 11, ...

All you need is a MIDI OUT jack on the 88 key instrument and a MIDI IN on the 61 key instrument. They both look like this: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58976aeee6f2e12da0026d7f/1557498179754-2FW35BN2KP50JOTSAANA/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kHJeHSC8xWw2nROrSL5Z47dZw-zPPgdn4jUwVcJE1ZvWEtT5uBS...

I'm an EE very familiar with software so I also wonder how the OS ROM could cause the problem, but as you stated, the old ROMs exhibit no issues. So it's the only thing that's changed, right? I'd look for release notes for the various OSes and see if anything comes up as a red flag. BTW is this a VF...
