thanks all !!! ... always good to bounce ideas off here .....
-
hey all - currently gigging with a PC1x ... pretty much just use it for 10-12 setups (now, multi in new kurzweil terms) .... I have a PC4, but frankly I think it is way more board than I need for my purposes (have played around with the soundtower editor, but still more than I need) ..... I am considering selling the PC4 and grab an SP6 ... I really think that may be a better (and simpler) option for my needs .... (I also have a hammond XK1c for organ and several other synths that I can use for a 3rd board if needed) .... thoughts ?????????????
-
love my hammon XK1c .. replaced a Korg CX-3 (new model) and sound better, weighs less, etc ... leslie sim is great as well ... currently usign wtih my Pc1x for giging ... (have a PC4 but way more board than I need, may sell ti and go with the SP6)

I used to have the two powered speaker / mixer setup ... but way too much stuff ... loving my Motion Sound KP500 .....

I went from my CX-3 to the Hammond XK-1c and totally am happy !! - much better sound ...(and LOTS lighter) ... I was also so happy with the internal Leslie sim on the hammond that I gave up my trusty motion sound KBR-3D for the motion sound MS500 ... totally happy !!!

hello all - just need some advice (probably a past model) for a midi key board controller (37 or 49 keys) for my behringer model D module ...nothing fancy ...just regular size keys and pitch/mod wheels .... been looking, but there are so many that have way too many bells and whistles that I do not need - thanks in advance.
-
will these work with the PC4 ??

understand the fidelity advantage of PA speakers (used to haul around a pair myself with mixer etc .. kind of a pain) ... but currently using a Motion Sound MS500 (don't need the KBR-3D anymore, the internal leslie sim in my XK1c works just fine) .... the MS500 is convenient to setup up , sounds good ... XLR out to our mains PA and away I go ......don't think the average bar patron notices any diff

Not a strange question at all. The original Mono/Poly worked like this, and I think that Sequential's early multitimbral synths (the Six-Trak and MAX) could be set up to do this with completely different patches on each voice. It's a fun way to work.
In a more modern format, the Arturia MatrixBrute lets you do this as well. Since different oscillators can be routed to the two different filters, it gets very cool.
thanks so much - guess I am just used to my good old true-poly type synth where each note of a chord was the same ... suppose I could do that with "para" as long as each OCS was the same ..... thanks again !!!
-
Yes the oscillators are completely independent but they pass through a single filter and then a single amplifier. And the oscillator tunings are totally independent too. Paraphony, although limited in some ways, is really interesting!
so .. as per my question, just one oscillator per note in a chord then ..... so each note in the "chord" (4 notes for instance) could be wildly different depending on the setting of its individual osc ?

hello all you smart people !! .. I have a strange question when it comes to paraphonic (specifically the recent Behringer PolyD and Mono/Poly boards) ... i understand the fact of one filter, etc and the triggering limitations there in ... but here is my question .... if it is a case of "4 voice" paraphonic .. which maps to the (in the case of a polyD) the 4 oscillators .. does that mean if I play a 4 note chord .. and the osc's are set to (for example) saw, triangle, square, "whatever" etc ..does that mean the notes of the "chord" would individually be .. saw, triangle, square, "watever" ?? ... i.e., an individual note of the chord would reflect an individual oscillator - thanks for any advice !!

just got my PC4 and trying to setup multis that I had used with my PC1x for gigging .. wanted a simple 4 zone multi of 4 sounds that I could solo, mute etc when needed .. what a night mare .. sometimes the button is blue, sometimes purple, sometimes not at all, sometimes red ... it was so simple to solo, mute, layer etc on the PC1x ... what am I missing ????
Try this:
Hit "Multi'. Select #2047 - 'Clear Multi'. Hit 'Edit'.
On the left side, program 1 should be 'active' and the other 3 'muted'.
Set all 4 to active - the buttons should turn purple.
Select your sounds, set volumes and so on.
Now press 'Controls'. Hit 'enter' and one of the switch buttons at the same time.
If they're not set this way, set all switches with these settings (one at a time):
Switch - (1, 2, 3, or 4 - one at a time)
Mode = Midi CC
Type = Toggled
Destination = Mute Zone (149)
On Value = 0
Off Value = 127
Entry State = On
Exit State = None
What you end up with, is the buttons are purple when the zone is active, and if you push a button to mute a zone, the button is unlit.
Probably save it as a template with a new name and number. It sounds like a lot, but it's pretty quick to do.
If you're proficient with the keypad, that can help, and once it's done, you'll have a template to work from.
'Solo' zone is kind of funky right now. I think it's more for when you're setting things up than when playing. Maybe they'll change it if they get some input.
You have to be in "Edit", then hit the 'More' button (right or left) until you see one of the 'soft' buttons labeled "Solo Zone".
You also have to select the zone on the "Overview" page. Then when you hit the solo button that zone will be soloed.
Much quicker just to mute whatever zones you don't want to hear.
Thanks - that is exactly what I did
... kind of don't like the "no light" thing .. and they do light (purple) when engaged .. guess I am just still used to the Pc1x , green, yellow , red scenario .... working with 4 zones and even with the setup above, not sure why some upper zones are lit and some not LOL .....speaking of colors ... why do the switch buttons vary from blue, pruple, red, etc .. and what does it mean (can't find any documentation on that even in the 300+ page manual I down loaded) .. thanks again !! -
My issue with the pad-buttons is that they are not always illuminated when you need them... and when they're not illuminated, it's nearly impossible to read what they are.

just got the PC4 and like it so far (as gig replacement for my PC1x) .. had the SP6 for a bit, but not quite "giggable" for me since I needed the setup/multi zone controls, etc like my PC1x
-
love my MS-500 ... easy to setup, lots of head room, etc .....
-
My "board" is my trusty PC1x ..... my main gig board (coupled with my XK1 and sometimes a 3rd synth ) .... tried replacing it with an SP6, but just not enough onboard control for me ... the PC1x has been a great board over the years - thinking of replacing with a PC4 .. but will see
-
hmmmm ... I have an XK-1c and order the CU-1 (both) from Sweetwater .... I had no problems attaching it to my board ... will take a picture and sent it to you FYI
-
here is my question .. I have a PC1x (that I love for gigging) and I used lots of "user" (multi) setups with different zones, layers, etc ... they are very easy to call up during a gig , etc ... but i had an SP6 that I sent back since it seemed like a pain to access multis on the fly for a gig, etc .... is the PC4 any better in this regard? .. really would like the light weight, but need the functionality that my pc1x currently has
-
what does paraphonic really mean?? .. this new synth may meet my gig needs .. but still confused over the difference between para and poly (do know that paraphonic uses the one VCF , eg , etc .. so there is no re-triggering, etc) ... but if I play a 4 note chord in a paraphonic situation ... does that mean that each note of that chord is just one of the 4 ocsilators and thus will sound in accordance to however that osc is configured ???
-
I was going to pull the trigger on the PC4 to replace my PC1x .... but see an online retailer has just "sweetened" the offer by reducing the price of the Forte SE 88 .... wonder if that would be an option (not as light as the PC4, but still 10lbs lighter than my PC1x)

I only got the vinyl so can't speak to the 5.1 .. but have heard others say that the 5.1 is great ... I really enjoyed the Giles Martin remix of Sgt Peppers and the White Album .. excellent ... BUT ..... I think Abbey Road is one of those that really didn't need much more of a remix ... I compared the G Martin remix to the original vinyl and the MFSL (original master vinyl) and the older two were crisp clear, but also so much warmer than the new remix ...... the additional two LPs in the box set are interesting outtakes, etc .. but probably would have just got those on CD to save money ........realize sound is very subjective, but just my two cents .... there are some interesting things like panning the drums across the soundstage on the intro of Something ... but .. I still like the originals !!!

silly question on storing/transport .. with my old PC88, I was told never to store it in a case on its edge due to the possible damage to the key weights ..... I currently have a PC1x and I have always stored it and transported it in its (hard shell SKB) case in the "flat down" playing position just to be safe ... since the PC4 is on my radar as a potential lighter board (the SP6 just didn't do it for me) ... i would probably get the soft case mentioned below ...Question: with the Medeli keybed .. would storage and transport on the side be okay ????
