  1. Nice work! And I wouldn't be so quick to relegate this conversion to the "it will never have resale value" bin. I've seen Microfreaks and Minilogues with amputated keyboards sell very quickly on Reverb.
  2. Clicky clicky It's not feature-packed, but the features it does have are top notch.
  3. I have a medium size Eurorack rig, but I’m looking for a little more precision in tuning. Anyone using a voltage/pitch quantizer? Do you recommend yours?
  4. Just wanted to conclude my epic, but I can't find my original post. Quick recap: 3 years ago, Lync reappeared at NAMM, I reached out to the guy reviving it, and we had long conversations. I gave a deposit, and 18 months later, he refunded the money. Then a few weeks after that, he offered me one with a custom color and at almost half the price. I placed a second deposit. So, at that point it had been almost three years or so since the very original order, and he let me know that he is giving up the company altogether, and that I should file a PayPal dispute to get my money back. Of course, it was 3 days after the 6 month limit that Paypal has for disputes, but I filed it anyway, and they responded that they would investigate and adjudicate within 30 days. It had been almost 60 days, and finally my money was refunded due to no response from Lync. So I ended up spending no money (but a lot of time), and I ended up with a Lync sticker and code for a VST synth. This was more than just bad customer service for me because the Lync holds such a special place in my identity as a keyboard player...not that I'm some keytar wiz...it was just a differentiator for me in the 90s when I was desperately trying to find my identity. Part of the one I owned is still being used by another Lync player who had a faulty keybed. So I guess I need to keep trying to endure using the Ax Edge. It's an amazing synth, but despite the form factor, it feels, after about 15 minutes, that I'm just carrying a weighted controller on one shoulder. Any boutique manufacturer making modern-looking keytars?
  5. Just a simple solid body electric. Think P Bass.
  6. You don't need a lookalike. I do deepfakes with AI for work. Just send me a script.
  7. I see what you are saying. I wouldn't worry about the actual timbre you are starting with. Start with just a basic hollow body jazz guitar sound...even the Gen MIDI one is fine to start. Then you start auditioning modelers. I use Guitar Rig and a few other software modelers along with a Katana, HX Stomp and other hardware, but really, any Jazz Chorus emulator should do the trick to get 85% of the way there. And then you have to play with delays and LFO-pitch in either pedal emulations in your modeler or discrete plug ins. Since you do not play guitar, let me warn you about one thing. You will not get the sound you are looking for plugging the output of your synth straight into a guitar amp of modeler's guitar input unless you are really careful with your levels. There are many workarounds, but if you stay in software, you don't have those particular challenges.
  8. Hello all, I have a guitar that has sentimental value but no other real value, and I've decided to repaint it by hand. I know how to strip the poly with a heat gun, but I'm wondering actually stripping it down the to bare wood is absolutely necessary. If I get all of the poly off and just take 320 grit to the whole thing, it should have enough "teeth" to be painted over with paint pens, correct? The pens I have are ultra opaque, so I'm not worried about the original color coming through. But should I get it down to bare wood and reprime it? It SEEMS like a waste of effort, but I would defer to someone who has some experience in this regard. And I plan to reseal it with poly. Thoughts?
  9. Richard Nixon playing the concerto he wrote. Starts at 1:20. I've also seen him play some barrelhouse-type thing.
  10. And this is the crux of it. Every discussion I've seen about this has been from a decidedly American point of view, even in the discussions that have heavy European involvement
  11. I think there is a corrolary to the question that also needs to be considered. Licensing comes with a risk when you are talking about BRAND licensing. Moog or any marquee brand would partially assume Behringer's reputation doing so. It's not like Disney, where people don't associate the horrible quality of some of the crap that has Mickey on it with the quality of the overall Disney experience. Licensing, and charging a premium, conflicts with the mission of both Behringer AND the "target" brand. Behringer's main mission is reduce cost to get as close to IP theft as possible without crossing the line (and admittedly, they fail on occasion, but so do many large companies), and up until recently, Moog and others banked partially on their name to charge a massive premium over time and materials. And for a brand like Arturia, there is NO advantage to licensing to Behringer.
  12. I've been really interested in this YAMAHA EAD10 A very famous drum YouTuber uses just this device to record his drum audio, and it always sounds amazing. Search for "El Estepario Siberiano" on YouTube if you would like to hear the output.
  13. Ah, another hitch...so definitely not user-installable?
  14. And let me add that faceless and voiceless YouTube videos about guitar pedals are so much more aesthtically and aurally pleasing than personality-based reviews. In my opinion, of course. They are almost Zen.
  15. The AI-based text to speech convertors are quite good. You can usually figure out it's fake rather quickly, but they are far from lifeless. This has actually given non-English speakers a new audience as language is no longer a barrier. And then there is the accessibility issue. I like text whether there is a voiceover or not in many instances because when I pause, I like to see the copy.
