That's how I mounted my car radio in my 196? VW bug back in the day.

At least it's not a KEYTAR.

I gotta say the new Audio Kit Nerd is heading for my top 5 pretty fast.

Yeah I'm addicted . I'm a compulsive Audio Kit synth buyer. And they just keep getting better and better. And at $5 bucks it's like buying a new Roland board without having to store a hardware synth. And what else will $5 buy you today? Half a hamburger? 20 miles worth of gasoline? Almost a pack of guitar strings. Or a soft synth with 400 presets, probably 100 of them useful in a song. Ok I've convinced myself.

I was checking out the new Nerd app that is being discussed on another thread and I wasn't sure but I thought it felt slightly latent. I checked the apps buffers and it was defaulted to 512. I reset to the extreme low buff of 64 and got no glitches and the slight latency got even slighter. Like no latency . Check your buffers within the app.

9th Gen seems to be about bullet proof for running lots of apps in one session of AUM. IDK the limit but I'm guessing more than 10, possibly 20 for all I know it could handle lots more. I'm sure it depends on the efficiency of the apps and effects apps you run. B3x gave me problems once when I had the sample rate mismatched between the app and aum. That problem hasn't reoccured but I have been running b3x outside of AUM out of habit anyways. At some point I'm going to get all in there with using b3x in aum and put in an elaborate left/right split so the left hand doesn't duck the right because I get some of that. Also I want the left hand outside the leslie or at least independent leslies on both sides of the split.

B3x, Aum, MiniOrchestra. I can do complete blues or motown/stax gigs with these and have. Vb3m and Numa-x as an emergency fill in but I'd be very sad missing my b3x and MiniOrchestra .

Also check out the Audiokit King of Digital D50 inspired app. It is a limited time deal that's not around for long.

Actually yes. More than ever. Not me, I now play blues and old soul only but I would play some head east if the op arose. But there is somewhat of an ultra retro thing with the school kids playing dads and granddads music which is one reason why I dropped it. When some youngster plays a classic tune it diminishes the mystique somewhat making it too ordinary to be exciting to see an old guy do it.

What apps do you use to get roland sounds? I haven't found any ios xp50 apps or even jv ect..

Another reason may be that Roland's typical 61 keybed is shorter front to back by close to an inch than the 7x keys at least on the DS and I bet everything else.

Has anyone mentioned 888000000?

No to a subwoofer. In fact sometimes I leave the last octave of my midi controller at home.

The Juno DS seems to me to be more of an XP than a juno. With top panel ASDR and reso, top panel splitting and layering. Ok the keybed isn't celebrated as the best. No aftertouch, less back panel I/O. But new features include super layer and probably more waveforms at about 2,000. All that to say it seems like the DS in spirit is a swiss knife performance board that sits in the space left by the xp30. It's a wonder to me that the DS is dismissed by some without even a tryout. Edit: to further my point the exact same board but with more world instruments is sold outside the USA as the xps30.
