perfect. I had forgotten about Midi-ox. I knew there was something like what I was looking for. Thanks a ton.

or maybe there is some free stuff on Windows Xp that I could test my midi controller out with.

I have a stupid question to ask regarding my Midisport interface. I got it all installed on my computer but I have not been able to use my Microkorg to control anything on my computer. Could anyone recommend a good free software synth that I could download and use my Microkorg or other keyboard to c...

Yeah, I am just wary of opening the sucker up. Easy job, but OTHER stuff could happen. I guess I will just suck it up and let them fix it. They are pretty cool with me thus far in talking about it. They do just about all the repairs for the Guitar Center by me.

yeah, I thought it was a little high, considering it will probably take 10 minutes, and requires a $0.50 component. Maybe I can talk them down if I explain that I know what it entails.

I've decided to get it repaired by a professional. They want to charge me $60 for the repair. Do you think this is too much? And if you do, do you know of a place(I am in chicago) I could take it to that will give me a good deal? I really love this synth, and I don't want to destroy it with amateur ...

seriously machinegeist, you are a lifesaver. I am gonna get a solder kit from Radioshack. I am not sure what rosin it comes with, so I will just buy the other kind for good measure. I am nervous to do this, but I feel I need to.

thanks a ton machinegeist, you're the best. So, I suppose my next question is, how much will one of these suckers cost and will I, as a completely inexperienced solderer, be able to do it safely? I suppose I will also need to know where I can get a basic soldering kit in addition to the battery. Syn...

My alpha Juno is asking me to "check battery!" when it powers on. Might I ask if anyone here has done this before or knows of a link to somewhere that shows how to do it? And also, what kind of battery do I need? I have looked online but can't find any info yet.

i love that this says "floopy" in the title. please don't edit it! it makes me laugh!

even the synths that i said sucked.....they can be alright, and can be used in some way, so they aren't completely horrible. but i think the darkstar would be last on my list of things to get. im pretty sure.

yeah, i guess it is kinda neat. at least its easier than the TX7.

yeah, the darkstar sucks a*s. what else sucks.....i think the yamaha tq5 sucks alot too.

in high school i had a fender stratocaster, a vintage gibson acoustic, a fender vibrochamp combo, a Boss DS-1, and a ProCo Brat distortion pedal, a casio ToneBank and a casio pt-1. those were the days.....

plus the 60 has an arpeggiator which is more fun.....
