But if they make AI generated non copyrightable so you're just a data entry person at that point delivering the computers output. The situations you're describing are what professional songwriters and composers have been doing for decades. One of the main qualities of those creators is they can work fast. One person I was friends with working at the music school was a ghost writer for a big name TV score team. Since the TV show didn't want to deal with clearances and such said for scenes where a radio or stereo is on to just write music that sounds like a Top 40 hit. My friend would tell his songwriting students I take more than three to five minute to write one of those tunes I'm losing money, because my main focus is the incidental music for the show. The funny part was the TV show would get contacted by viewers now and then that liked the song they heard in scene such in such asking was record was it. My friend (actually and old Jazz bass player) said I listen some Pop radio every week to hear the type of songs being played and so if someone want a quick Pop I can do it in minutes. So humans have been doing this for decades and I would say more human sounding. -
I take it your B4D is no longer drawing any bars for you... -
I used a coffee can for my B4D, but that's a whole 'nuther story. -
I added the laptop tray from K&M to my 18953 for my B4D.

Just received this and I love it. Works beautifully. Just one problem- there is no surface area on my midi keyboard which is large enough to place it. So I've come up with a MacGyver solution but I'm open to suggestions. It may not be clear what I've done in the photos but basically I clamped an OnStage iPad holder onto the tubing of a mic stand. I then clamped the D9x to the surface of the holder (where I would normally place my iPad). Then I placed the iPad holder in horizontal position with as little extension in the holder arm as possible. I found that because the holder is designed for iPads not D9x units, I needed to set the D9x on a piece of non-skid shelf liner (the white stuff) to ensure that the frame securely grabbed the D9x. Because the D9x is all metal construction, it's heavier than I thought it would be. To minimize wobble, I butted the mic stand tube against the back of my Nektar keyboard, then applied gaffer tape. The current setup is placed where I need it (needs to be at left end of keyboard). I can live with this setup (I will get some black shelf liner to replace the white), but I'm open to other ideas. I looked at various trays sold by K&M (I have an 18820 stand) but none of them would allow placement of where I need the DX9 to be.

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.
