Re: Synth outputs... balanced or unbalanced?

Bringing your own DIs also has the big advantage that you can tell the live tech to go away with those B€hringer DIs he wants you to use :thumbright:

Re: How to find a draft that I started on the forum?

User Control Panel > Overview > Manage drafts. AFAIK, it will not allow you to post the drafted text from there (email draft style); But you'll get the thread title and what you've saved in the message text, so you can copy that and go to the thread to actually post it.

Re: Kawai K3m and MIDI control

Look again. It accepts sysex and you can fully program the synth from that. The Kiwi and Stereoping controllers wouldn't be possible otherwise...

Re: Kawai K3m and MIDI control

It says that you need Sysex.

Have a look at the Kiwitechnics Patch Editor and / or the Stereoping Synth Controller.

Re: SH-101 envelope issue (strange behaviour)

Subscribing to this. A friend of mine has one with a long release (regardless of fader setting and gate length). I was assuming that it's just a bad slider so far, but haven't talked to my tech yet...

Re: Longest production runs for synths

Adjusted for inflation, $40k in 1980 is $115k in 2016.

Conclusion: that 30A is a steal! :)

How much is it now? In 1984 you could buy a brand new house for the money of the CMI in my country :D
25k AUD

That wouldn't get you a house around here...

Re: Hardest bass line form a poly 800

Well, yeah that's true. On the other hand, the 101 sequencer does just that as well (rests, ties) if you use it as it was intended originally - i.e., with a steady clock instead of irregular triggers (which is all the fun, of course). You know that there's a "tap programming" mode on the 202, right ...

Re: Could you trust a doepfer msy2 / mc202

That will not work at all. The MSY2 only creates a clock in addition to midi thru and dinsync (and the analogue clock always has the same PPQN as the midi- and dinsync clock outputs, i.e. 24 PPQN if you actually use those - which is annoying). No actual CV/gate. Generally, the MSY2 timing is ok. It ...

Re: TR-707 Issue

Change the batteries.

Quick power cycle: the internal batteries were able to store everything for a short time.

Power cycle the next day: too long since it had power for the last time, it depends on the AA batteries for backup. If they're empty, you get a resetted / randomly programmed machine.
