If the dx7 us set up like the tx81z, could you split the output of the DX and send the arp through the left out and your keyboard part on the right, and adjust the outputs accordingly? As madtheory mentioned, no. Anyway, velocity can be programmed to affect timbre, not just volume, so this wouldn't...

Thanks! Good to know, in case I ever find one of my synths doesn't have its own velocity curve and need to involve the computer

But then the max velocity of 64 will be too quiet when compared to hard notes played on the DX7's own keybed, which would basically just be reversing the OP's problem.

So can MIDI-OX map across a configurable range, namely 0~99? I don't use it often and have never investigated that part of it.

Yeah, you're talking about velocity, not volume. You want to change the velocity of the steps programmed in the mK's arpeggiator. So here's an answer specific to the keyboards in question. Background: the DX7 and related keyboards weren't intentionally or precisely limited to velocities 0~99: my DX7...

I don't understand what you're trying to do, but here goes: OK. Maybe I have put the midi cable cable wrong. I think I have the cable in midi in on the TR. I´m gonna try that later. Try what? There's no other option. The cable needs a MIDI Out port at one end and a MIDI In port at the other. My idea...

Wow. That's a real collection. I'm interested to know what you do with them. Guessing you do lots of layering and/or poly-extension? Do you mainly use them for emulative or synth sounds?

examples of how things have improved All I know is that in my 35 year sabbatical nothing has apparently improved. yes, when people say something to the contrary of the point you're trying to prove, just repeat yourself, louder. if you're not going to listen to people, why did you start a discussion...

lmao, op just seems to want to have their established bias confirmed, rather than actually listening to counterxamples. of course synthesisers in general quantifably have vastly more reach, features, in many cases reliability, etc than they did 35 years ago. modern analogues are often overpriced due...

The main shortcoming is, of course, polyphony, or rather the lack thereof. What type of patches do you want to play? If you need more than 3 notes, the Volca can't do it. That's a tech spec, sure, but it's a significant one worth mentioning.

It could also possibly be related to some supporting component in that circuit, like a diode or such. For the sake of completeness, I'll also mention I had an issue once where my TX81Z kept losing its memory, for no apparent reason... till I realised the arrangement of my hastily rigged battery-hold...

There is one catch with footswitches. They can be NO or NC (normally open or normally closed) - it is usually called "polarity" on sustain pedals. Some instruments recognize initial state on power-on, and then respond to change - with these you are good with any kind of footswitch. However some syn...

The 5000 has built in AC power supply...no adapter! The D cells are the battery backup (one year rated lifetime). Ah, my bad - many thanks for the correction to my (now useless!) post. I got my model #s mixed up and must've thought this was the CZ-101. Note to self: always Google to confirm vague m...

[edit: this was based on me thinking of the CZ-101, clearly not relevant, but for posterity...] Hi. I'm not sure about 1 but interested to see if anyone else knows what the issue is. However, re 2: If you mean you only replaced the batteries exposed on the bottom of the unit, then yes, you need to d...

Yup. In other synths that use transistors for muting instead of relays, a nearly identical symptom can present. Weirdly this is not very widely discussed, yet it's happened to me multiple times, including repeats in the same synths. I guess maybe I was doing something wrong - like plugging cables in...

Have you powered off and back on? I ask because it sounds like you have left it on, and the message sounds like one that comes up if you power on while (in this case accidentally) holding down a particular combination of buttons to perform a factory reset. One would then assume that if you restart w...
