Re: Akai MPC60: Upgrade or Replace?
Other than using floppies, the MPC60 does most of what I need. What aspect of using floppies bothers you? I am asking because a floppy emulator will not help you that much, other than eliminate the need for a physical diskette. Assuming you upgrade to a floppy emulator, the capacity of each disk wi...

Akai MPC60: Upgrade or Replace?
Hey all, I am at a point where I am considering either replacing it with something newer, MPC Live w/ CV or Isla SP2400 possibly, or to update my MPC60 with SD (or whatever is most modern option). Other than using floppies, the MPC60 does most of what I need. Obviously, a bigger screen with more det...

Re: Korg Volca Sample (vs.) Korg Electribe ES-1
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 ...

Re: Volca Sample MIDI
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.

Re: Volca Sample MIDI
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.

Re: how to vintage your synth
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.

Re: Looking for a standalone mellotron sample pack
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...

Re: Quality MIDI keyboard controllers still available?
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.

Re: Quality MIDI keyboard controllers still available?
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...

Re: Quality MIDI keyboard controllers still available?
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...
