on any DAW or software, clicks are often an indication that you need to increase your sample latency. This might only come into play with a certain number of tracks or certain amount of FX/processing. Increase latency and the problem will go away, at a cost of realtime control.

Attn: Roland SH-1000 owners!

Hi, I bought an SH-1000 this weekend and had two questions for owners. - could someone measure the width, length, and height of the piece of wood that sits above the keybed? Mine is missing and I need to furnish a replacement. - Anyone know where I could get a replacement key? One of the keys is cra...

I'm so sad, a guy had a broken sh-1000 for sale for $50 but it looks like I'm not getting it since he's not replying to his emails :(. I just made myself sadder by listening Automatic Gainsay's demo on youtube, those intro leads were awesome. Scratch that.. I picked it up today and IT WORKS. A SH-1...

I think most likely you will need to replace the LCD at some point, BUT

there is a chance it's the polarizing film and not the LCD and you would just have to get a peice of the film and replace it (it might be glued to the front of the LCD)

but that's just a guess.

In a strict comparison to a digial amp, the digital amp will amplify in steps, just as a digital filter filters in steps as you increase the frequency. So there's some zipper-effect on the amplitude.. but your ear is better at smoothing that out so it's less noticeable (plus hardly an issue with hig...

Since this is become all too common now, I think what I am going to start doing is putting text on the pictures with my seller name and auction number, not perfect but it may at least serve as a deterrent. Also, pulling the pics as soon as it ends would probably help too replacing them a few days l...

Sounds a bit atari-punk I thought that a bit too, which is funny.. an atari punk costs $10 to build :). The noise making circuit in an atari punk costs $10. It doesn't have variable waveforms, two oscillators (well, one and a bit), an proper loopable envelope generator, an LFO (with variable wavefo...

My DIY chiptune 4-bit synth

This is a sample from my WIP chiptune synth. Eventually it will be running on an microcontroller, but this is just the software running on a PC currently. Some specs: currently: - 4 bit waveforms (square, sine, saw, noise) - 16-bit pitch-divider (gets about 4-5 accurate octaves) - 8-bit Amp soon, ne...

+1 for the SHS-10. But I have to say, it's what got me started. It was my first keyboard, and oddly enough, I still have it. I don't use it, really, but I keep thinking about circuit bending it. Then I see how much it sells for on ebay, and I have second thoughts. Oddly enough, I tried to sell it a...

+1 on the shs-10. Not because of what it is, but because of what people are lying about it being.. people try to sell this as a professional keytar for $300 to catch in on a resurgent keytar craze.

I met somebody once who told me about using a slight delay to get a big spread on zir tracks. They said it worked great for them. I think that's what a lot of the "stereo widening" tools do on programs like t-racks, if you mean to do this on the complete mix. it does increase the stereo effect but ...

An old project with a friend of mine: http://www.myspace.com/revelcraft The track "Cold Crush", the main melody/bassline is a BSR with the aforementioned nasal quality in action. It's most noticable in the song's second "half". I agree it's hard to get it noticable into a mix with no resonance. I u...
