I'm now the proud owner of a new-old-stock Casio CZ-1 that was a shop's old display model from back in the day (thus "old stock", but it's unboxed). I imported it from Germany and started getting some complex patches made ASAP. Number 11 FM (OGG file on one drive) Number 11 FM patch sheet (PDF file ...

Check the manuals for both devices and see how to set the audio rate. No interface drivers will deal with mixed sample rates. No such luck from the front panels. Nothing in the tissue paper manuals, either. Roland say I don't need to download drivers for Windows 10 1709 so I simply deleted them fro...

Hello everyone. I bought a TR-8 on Sunday and collected my TB-03 on Monday. I wish to connect both units to my computer over USB for audio and MIDI, but have ran into some horrible issues. The TR-8 via ASIO4All in FLStudio 12 allows me to run each sound over its own mixer channel, which is fine-and-...

Hello all! I've recently sold my Mackie ONXY 1220i FireWire mixing console because I simply didn't need something so big, especially as many of my synths have also recently sold, and therefore barely anything was connected to it. I still have a handful of Synths (Blofeld, Mopho X4, Electribe and soo...

No, not needed - at least I do not need them at all. It's just for panning, pan is one of the modulation destinations in the matrix. I personally never use that, if I want pan automations I do it in the DAW. Especially on the DSI stuff where no cool tricks a la voice spread (as is possible on a ver...

That's what I did (before knowing that the MophoX4 would come out). Some additional advantages with this configuration: your 5-voice poly is now fully multitimbral with individual outputs for all five voices. Furthermore, you have two units that you can also use separately if you wish so. On the do...

You actually get a much closer result to a subosc sound by syncing the two oscs of the one voice and having the synced osc (osc 1 on the Evolver, I imagine it's the same on the P08) set to square and an octave down. Having the subosc perfectly in sync is the key to that sound because they don't sou...

Layering a the same patch an octave down doesn't sound the same as having suboscs as the oscs aren't in sync and aren't going through the same filter modulation etc. I meant create a new patch to use as a Sub Osc, not double up the current patch. :) It's still not synced and still not going through...

A huge chunk of the cost is in the sheer number of knobs on the P08. Keybed + extra knobs is worth the cost for some. If you don't care about those, then you could also consider just getting a Tetra desktop module and saving even more money. Note that the used market for the P08 is trending towards...

Layering a the same patch an octave down doesn't sound the same as having suboscs as the oscs aren't in sync and aren't going through the same filter modulation etc. I meant create a new patch to use as a Sub Osc, not double up the current patch. :) If the Mx4 has the same oscillator, filter, amp a...

the mopho x4 has a sub osc and filter feedback, just like a mopho. The sub oscs I knew of, but I (think) you can reduce the P08 to 4 voices and stack patches - so the sub-oscs could be replicated. The only real edition would be the feedback oscillator (that I somehow failed to notice!) I'm starting...

I hoenstly cannot decide between the two. The Prophet has 8 voices and an extra octave whilst the Mopho has 4 and 4 (respectively) - but the P08 is around £500 extra! What are the actual differences between the two units sonically and architectually that would make me part with the extra cash for th...

This was an idea I had for a sticky topic on the help forum. I spent a good half a day constantly on the phone to everyone in my area looking for a place to get two of my synthesizers repaired. Electronics centres that will actually accept synthesizers (especially vintage) as well as dedicated music...

Right, then. I've had no luck finding a schematic on the web...yet. (following is a guess) From the + side of the batteries should be a regulator (likely a transistor) to lower the 9-volts from the batteries to 3 volts. From there will be some resistors and a diode to the memory chip(s). You'll nee...

Sorry - don't understand: Did you replace the D-cells and memory is still not saved? Your OP made it sound like you did not find the battery holder on the bottom of the synth. Does the synth still play the factory sounds on battery power? If not: Check for corrosion on the battery terminals Check f...
