  1. To me the biggest problem with using a computer or iPad is that you lose all of the huge selection of sounds that a hardware synth gives you. Even if you could access all of your presets on the computer or iPad, it's way slower to load those sounds. If you know you only use x amount of sounds and that's it, the computer or iPad is great. And latency. It's real. Even with an M1 computer with memory, the latency is there compared to a finely tuned hardware synth. Not on all patches, but some.... Usually the ones you need. And as someone else said, on stage, through monitors, I guess it's at the point where hardware keyboards sound very close to software. But if anyone is recording from the board, the software will sound better. If the gig is really important and indoors, I will try my computer. If not and it's outdoors or we have very little setup time, I'm going hardware.
  2. Just wondering if anyone had ideas on where to offload my old NON WORKING synths. I have an Arp Odyssey and two OB-1s. I wanted to fix them, but with Korg releasing new Odysseys, it doesn't make sense for me to replace 40+ tantalums etc... My OB-1's turn on, but no sound and I doubt I will debug them. Finally, with the way music is going, when would I ever use these anyway? Just wondering where you guys got rid of them - or any ideas where I could get rid of them. I don't want to just throw them away. Looking for maybe a synth dealer or something. Thanks
  3. My favorite is when they argue with me about how the original OB-X or (older synth) sounded. I mean, I lived through the entire period. I don't need some young guy arguing with me about how the keyboards I used to live with sounded.
  4. Would it be too hard to try them in a rehearsal setting - maybe plug into the PA? That way the rest of us would know.
  5. >Please forgive my asking but could you be confusing this with the new "Adaptive Audio" setting (which appear to be simply labeled "Adaptive" on the screenshot you posted here)? Yes absolutely. I tried every mode and even turned UP the volume slider in your custom transparency window. It is definitely targeting frequencies, I think it's just a dynamic EQ honestly with limiting going on. I can hear it plain as day. Without the band - clear sound. As soon as the band starts, the guitar just disappears into the mix - and the louder you play, the more it seems to fade out. BTW everyone, send a feedback to apple. I did. Reference FEEDBACK: FB12693007 I asked for a passthrough with volume control - no dynamic EQ and limiter only. I asked if the volume control could have a range to near zero.

  7. Ibarch, Does the Sony work for rehearsals/playing? That mix slider looks useful!
  8. Please let me know. I thought about it, but now that I think about it, I think it was on. Well, in any case let me know. Thanks!
  9. OK finally got to try this. There's good and bad. First off, 85dB is pretty darn soft. It sounds great when talking before playing etc... but as soon as the band starts playing, you can really hear the air pods clamp down. It totally works except for one problem, it is incredibly smart and sensitive to location/frequency as a result. When the band wasn't playing, everything sounded natural, my guitar sounded great! When the band started playing, it's so smart that it started notching out my guitar signal. It worked so well that my guitar basically started disappearing. I could play, but I couldn't tell how loud I was. It was like I was playing at the softest possible volume - barely louder than the band. Does it work? YES! When I took the pods out, WOW the band was incredibly loud compared to the Pods. I tried all sorts of custom transparency, regular transparency and adaptive etc... but each time the guitar was notched out since I was close to the amp. I am completely convinced these are much better than any ear plugs I have used. For listening, it's incredible! It will save your ears for sure. As for using them on stage, I am not so sure since I can barely hear what I am playing. I was left with the stark realization that if 85dB was the benchmark, all us older musicians are going to be deaf unfortunately!
  10. Darn it. I thought I was going crazy. I went to hang up and the mic muted. I could have sworn a single click hung up. No wonder! Thanks!
  11. I use the AT on the Kronos 61, but not that much. But I guess it is really useful when I use it. I just haven't programmed enough patches to use them. I didn't realize the MODX7 keybed was that bad.
  12. I felt sick watching someone on a video trying to explain what AT is. I mean, come on. It's not a new thing. Come on Korg, give is the Korg Kronos 3 with double the polyphony and faster boot up!!!!!!
  13. Of course someone tried this. Very interesting. The Air Pods Pro also apparently adjust freq. response when in the ear but in general this was a good test!
  14. I bought some of those memory foam tips at the beginning but mine were cheap and probably junk. Yes it did fit well, but they accumulated dust so much and the original tips work for me so I just use that. BTW that seal test was surprisingly loud. I don't remember it being that loud before.
