Under the Hood
I just opened the Kawai K4 that I purchased about six months ago to address a buzzing that occurs inside the chassis whenever the upper octave is played. Upon opening the keyboard I discovered that the cause of the buzzing was a number of screws missing from the main pcb and heat shields, causing th...

Re: What 'hidden gems' have you found on your synths?
I was pleasantly surprised to find some presets on my JP8080 that were made by Bryan Erickson of Velvet Acid Christ.
The previous owner had loaded a custom user bank and the few HEX patches, as Bryan usually calls them, were hanging out at the very end of the bank.

Re: Roland Fantoms
Thanks everyone. Many have told me the pianos in the M3 are not as good as the Roland and Yamaha. Piano sound is a must, that is why I got rid of my M1. How about a run down on the Yamahas Motifs? The piano sounds on the Korgs are very nice. Do you live next to a music store where you might go try ...

Re: Pre '60s electronic music ?
I am merely stating that his ideas founded many modern uses of both electronic music and sound design. His musical composition can be directly correlated to how composers of musique concrete came to make music during the earliest of tape eras. What I am suggesting is that his music is not electronic...

Re: Pre '60s electronic music ?
Moron. As far as I can tell, he may have been an "electronic music theorist" as someone on here cited from the Wikipedia article, I can find no evidence in any of the writings from him or about him that suggest any of his music was performed or meant to be performed by electronic instruments. The m...

Re: Tascam or Zoom?
Yes, my mistake. For whatever reason my memory was telling me that Korg had made a big stink over re-releasing the D888, back when I still worked at GC, with an 80gb HD. I have checked all of the googles and they confirm the 40gb hard drive.tallowwaters wrote: Korg D888 is 40, the 3200 is 80, I believe.

Re: Tascam or Zoom?
Korg D888 +1 What are your thouhgts? Well, you couldn't have chosen two very different digital multitrack recorders. It looks like the R16 was really geared towards being able to interface with the computer as its main purpose, but just so happens to have digital multitracking as a stand alone as w...

Re: great usb audio interface for win7 ??
I have to agree that the 828mkii were ROUGH!!! I have heard better things about the mark 3, but nothing incredible. I was working at guitarcenter when the interface came out, and I was hearing stories from customers about many issues they were having. backlight going out, power failures, inputs not ...

Re: dusty keys
I fear that my advice is going to sound really vague, but cleaning key contacts is actually a lot easier than I think people realize. You just have to be willing to commit a good amount of time and mental effort to take apart, and rebuild (and remember how to rebuild) the keyboard. So the first step...

Re: Virus KC vs Roland V Synth 2.0
Unfortunately, you are not going to be paying the same price for a Virus KC as you would for the V-Synth. The Roland is really sweet for all sorts of stuff, ranging from drums, to eery pads, basses etc. Where the Virus is still very much a VA, so you can make those funky clav/EP/wurly sounds, as wel...

Re: What keyboard should I upgrade to?
We are going to need some additional details about what kind of synthesizer/workstation/performance keyboard you are looking for. If you just want a new keyboard, well, I am afraid that you don't have too many options there. There hasn't been any new keyboards made since 1998. Bummmer, bro.
