    • I ALSO say, "...get a powered speaker" - lol!   I use a pair of QSC K8's with a small mixer.  OR a Motion Sound KP-408S stereo keyboard amp.   I use my Kurzweil PC4 on most gigs.  But sometimes use a Yamaha MoFX8 w/a Korg Kronos instead.  And sometimes I use a Roland RD-300GX.     Both setups - a pair of QSC K8 active speakers w/small sub-mixer OR the Motion Sound KP-408S are PLENTY loud enough.
    • I wonder if it is any different than the leslie in the Gemini/Mojo? If it isnt I hope that they would offer it in the Gemini.  If it is what is in the Gemini now I would pass on it.  I already own the BURN and the Vent and frankly when I have a big show i go with either the BURN or the Vent, meaning I like the BURN/Vent better than the leslie in the Gemini.  If this new pedal is the same as the current Gemini's leslie algorithm then it isnt, to me, an upgrade over the original BURN.   I guess we'll have to hear what it sounds like and if it truly is new and better I would hope that at least the new algorithm is is added to the Gemini.  So far the only leslie sim that truly turns my head since the original Vent intro is B3x.  If that leslie sim were offered in a hardware pedal i'd press the 'buy now' button regardless of the price.
    • Detroit Lions have given WR Amon-Ra St. Brown a contract extension prior to him becoming a free agent after 2024 season.   Of course, the Lions' deal will factor into future WR negotiations including 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk.   Word on the curb is that 49ers aren't willing to pay as much. No worries.   Jags, Steelers and Colts could be on speed dial to secure the services of WR Brandon Aiyuk. He'll land just fine.😎
    • So is AI the modern day version of ghostwriter.          I was listening to a podcast that got into how much use of ghostwriters is going on. Then this AI thread and I started thinking they aren't that different they are both being something they aren't.

    • I just bought one used two days ago.   I had in the past (a very past) the original ARP Odissey and an Avatar (the guitar version of the Odissey). They sounded quite differenti, and now I understand why: two different version of the filter. A friend of mine still have the all black one with coloured sliders, which Is again different, maybe two poles filter?   Anyway the Behringer sounds good but a bit differenti too.   My ARP had a ring modulator I used to build fabolous bell like sounds: metallic, full of harmonics.    The kind of sound you can hear on Japan Tin Drum or Oil on Canvas albums.   Until now I couldn't recreate this sound.    Neither the Avatar did. Just my ARP Odissey I sold for little Money :(
    • In V.A.S.T., be it the original V.A.S.T. or the newer vaster V.A.S.T. with Cascade and Dynamic, there are several ways you can use internal DSP sources with Samples:   1. Samples only 2. Internal DSP Oscillators only without any Sample 3. Samples mixed with internal DSP Oscillators   In the new V.A.S.T., you can certainly use a multi-sampled Keymap, alongside an internal anti-aliased DSP Osc, e.g. a 2-block SINE+ for a single Layer, or even an aliased one like the old SAW+.   For larger AA DSP Oscs, e.g. the 4-block SAW, you'd need to use Cascade Mode, a passthrough signal and a Mixer ALG.   So these aren't mutually exclusive. Instead, what the manual seems to indicate is that if you want to do a traditional analogue subtractive synth, then you'd rather not use a Keymap, which makes sense since analogue subtractive synths don't use them at all.   You can  still use a Keymap's sample Envelope if it is set to Natural, even if the Sample itself isn't sounding via the Layer, say, if you have simply a 4-block AA DSP SAW. That SAW block effectively cuts off any of the Sample signal. However, as the AMPENV mode is set to Natural, it is the factory AMPENV for that multi-Sampled Keymap that is applied to the Layer.   The Natural envelopes have more details than can be produced with a User AMPENV.   The thing that happens with setting the Keymap to Silence is that it sets each key's amplitude to the same maximum amplitude. Maybe that's what you need in a certain program, but sometimes, if you are doing an emulative program, you could be better off actually referencing the emulation's Keymaps Sample although the latter isn't heard, with the corresponding Natural Envelope, or of course, you could just go into User Mode and make your own envelope.   Hope this helps.
    • Sweetwater might accept to deliver to Canada, but you will be charged transport accordingly and as anything going USA to Canada your item will go through customs and it is always possible to end up with extra fees - sometimes very expensive. I personally had a very bad experience about 10 years ago and promised myself to never import again from the USA unless the seller confirms on paper he pays for all possible customs and duties extra fees.   Buying Kurzweil products in Canada has always been complicated. In the 1990s a few stores in the province kept a couple of them, but if you wanted something they didn't have you had to order sight unseen and wait months to get your purchase. That is how I bought my MIDIboard, K1200 and finally, around 2000, a PC2X. I hated the Fatar action on the PC2X from day one and swore to never buy a keyboard sight unseen ever again.
