Are you on the Waldorf user-forum mailing list? Someone there reported a similar problem I think, maybe it was you. Seems that connecting via USB on Windows (Vista?) machines can still cause a few problems, various weird things happening. What is all this USB MIDI c**p anyway? What was wrong with 5-...

I always liked the vocoder on this - (listen from 4:50 for the fun bit)

You could get yourself a TX81Z for the actual real deal on LatelyBass. :) Can still be had for very reasonable prices and there's a decent free editor available for PCs if you feel like programming it. Very few of the other presets are much use IMO but it can do some very nice stuff with a bit of wo...

It means the sequencer is suffering from Paroxysmal Dystonic Choreoathetosis.

(Also Plugin Delay Compensation)

The JJ OS replacement operating system for the MPC 1000 (and 2500 I think) which expands their capabilities quite substantially allows you to do some audio track recording, yes. Look here: http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mpc1000/chart.htm

Beyond that you'd probably be in to Roland MV8000 territory.

"Tyronza tx81z" is a Googlewhack so it must be right.

Sounds quite a bit like LatelyBass or similar to me too. Its playing chords at times, maybe some chorus or layered as well.

By the way, I always assumed the name of the patch was to do with the Janet Jackson song. Anyone know if that's the case?

1.12 is up, which should fix the MIDI clock receive.

Thanks Waldorf.

It seems to vary quite lot depending on what plugins are loaded, some make it worse than others, it can be quite steady. MIght be related to PDC, and also obviously the work the audio engine is having to do.

I had one for a while I found on the cheap yet mint ... (Traded it for an EMX-1 that I find far more useful ... )

Yup, five notes is better than four.

In the best position perhaps....

If by keytrack you mean will it play at different pitches then I think yes, absolutely. There's been talk of multi-samples from beta testers I think, which sounds nice*. Would be cool to be able to do percussion maps as well. It does look like you won't able to modulate sample start point though whi...

At least there are a few OK editors out there for it now. There weren't when I sold mine. I found the vocoder pretty good for processing different sounds internally, got some really interesting results, but yeah never had much joy with it for vocals. The simpler Micro Korg vocoder works better for y...

I don't know the answer to your question but have you tried this: http://www.hermannseib.com/english/synths/ppg/wavesim.htm It sounds very good to me, actually I don't think I've even tested the latest version. Having said that, although I really like the PPG sound I have no interest in how close em...

Blimey, the price of Microns has gone up in the UK, and not by a little either! I didn't really get along with the sound of it when I had one, it seemed kind of grainy, ill-defined and lifeless. But the damn thing records really well for some reason, maybe because of it's graininess. Now I listen ba...
