It probably is.

I think you will be best off with the ES1. The Volca Sample is great, but it isn't really great for building. It can only store 10 sequences of 16 steps each and 6 songs, which can be up to 16 bars, but they have to be bars made up of the 10 patterns in memory. Sending MIDI is also rather difficult ...

I could see chromatic playing being a stretch, but I have to agree that each hit being a different MIDI channel is dumb as h**l. Basically eliminates using it as an additional module connected to an MPC. Real shame too, because it sounds really fuc*ing good.

EDIT- Found out it is not possible at this time

Could someone tell me if the sample would work like a chromatic key sampler..? Want to use my friends for some tracks if it is possible to use that way.

f**k j**ka**.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who cannot afford a nice synthesizer who you could have sold to for a good price.

Not sure if you are a Logic user or not, but in the latest update a pretty extensive Mellotron instrument was added. You should be able to dig into the program files and grab the WAV's. I was pretty excited at the addition. The ones millhouse linked to are solid. It's a Mellotron, it should be basic...

Especially when it's your only comment. Communicator, you're officially the tool of the day, dumbass, 2015 version of JonTron. Congratulations, thanks for your completely useless contribution.

That ^ is the best advice on here. Figure out what you need to control / can control on each device, then use those parameters to decide which MIDI board you will buy.

Yes, old MIDI keyboards will still work with modern DAW's if you have a MIDI interface. The advantage of newer ones is being able to use the USB for computer MIDI and having freed up the actual MIDI ports for hardware. Also newer keyboards do tend to support more protocols such as CC's and NMR (or w...

You seem to be very hung up on the notion that newer stuff is somehow inferior. MIDI is MIDI. The standards haven't changed. A new keyboard with sliders and knobs will act much the same as a twenty year old bored. And having USB is a good thing in your case. You can use the regular midi outs to go t...

So where is Rolands Jupiter-9 and Yamaha's CS-90? Coming to a NAMM near you ^^ The new Yamaha CS-90... Why sit down at a synth, when you can walk inside? Featuring a brand new 360 degree control surface. Trailer hitch for easy gigging sold separately!The Yamaha cs-90: tons of features. Literally. O...

I'm guessing Dave either is licensing the Sequential name from Wine Country or got the name back. It went from him to Yamaha in the late 80's after the VS, then to Wine Country around 97.

I hope he got the rights, because WC isn't deserving of it.

HOLY f**k.
