  1. Yeah, it makes sense that a less extreme fix for gender dysphoria than hormone injections, social "gender transitioning", and surgery will come along. But there will still be people with autogynephilia, etc., for whom this is more voluntary. By the way, it's not correct that there are more than two sexes. Sex is defined by gamete size, of which there are two, namely egg cells and spermies. So intersex conditions are not new sexes.
  2. If you are interested in used boards, the RD-700NX has a light action.
  3. The V-Piano Expansion is the new feature, with 17 patches that I assume are variations of the same basic sound. Available for $149 from Roland Cloud. https://www.roland.com/global/products/rc_v-piano_expansion_01_german_concert/
  4. Unusual genre for this forum, but I think this one is fun 🤘
  5. I think the reason why people are surprised is that this is an undocumented feature of the RD-88, and it's an unusual feature on a budget board. Maybe it's an oversight by Roland?
  6. They are still trying to turn the taskbar into the macOS Dock, like they first tried with Windows 7, except you could change some settings to get the old one back there. In Windows 11 you can't have one taskbar button per window, it's per app. There is no option to have the window titles on the buttons, and you can't have small icons. So the taskbar uses more vertical space than it needs to to, especially on large screens. And it's less useful. And they removed the drag-and-drop support, for some reason. I also don't understand the new start menu. It's like they are trying to copy phone and tablet user interfaces. But both in iOS and Android you can actually access your recently used apps if you want to, which is one feature that is not in Windows 11 currently.
  7. The USB-B supports MIDI, but is only for connecting to a USB host device, usually a PC. Same as when you connect a printer via USB, it doesn't work the other way around. And the USB-A port on the RD-88 is only for storage devices. Maybe you can do it using some kind of adapter device, though.
  8. I hear it as being in A minor a bit more than C. I don't think it's trying to establish a key, it's just a bit ambiguous. Does that make sense?
  9. Fixed it now, easy once I got it disassembled. Way too many screws. The counterweight (hammer?) was rotated so it didn't fit in the slot in the key anymore.
  10. I guess something must have happened either when I put it in the box, or took it back out. Maybe the key got caught up in the protective plastic bag that's around the board.
  11. Just in its box, under a bed. Not upside down or vertically, so I don't know how this happened...
  12. I found that one, but I was hoping to not having to do all of that...
  13. I put it back in the original packaging after each use, this time it's been five months since I last used it. When I unpacked it today, one key had popped out of its place. No idea how, and it doesn't want to go back down. Anyone seen this before? Do I need to disassemble the whole think to get the key back in place, or is it possible to wiggle it back in position without risk of breaking anything?
  14. Useful, but you can probably find all of those tools for free on the Internet without using Google.I try to stay away from that company.
  15. If it's not too much trouble you could just unplug the right output from the keyboard and the right input from the mixer to get mono. And make sure you're not using a stereo effect on the mixer, of course. Then it doesn't matter which control room output you use.
  16. Thanks Can't buy that in here in Norway, but I can order it from abroad. What I can get here is an Alesis V49, any idea on how that compares to the Samson..?
  17. I got the urge to record some music, installed REAPER a couple of weeks ago. I bought a used Novation Launchkey 49, which works fine, but seems to not get along with the USB controller, driver, or whatever on my Windows 10 PC. I have to try a bunch of times to get it work, unplugging other USB devices, trying to plug them in in various orders, etc. So I'm looking for a replacement. I want something that is not too expensive, that can sit on my couch, my lap, or whatever. A decent action that you can use to record drums and bass, for piano stuff I can move my laptop over to my stage piano and use that. I would like to have a couple of programmable knobs, but I don't need the typical Ableton Live EDM setup or anything like that.
  18. It's important information in a democratic society, simple as that. Information like that is often hidden for political purposes by the media or downplayed by politicians, etc, it's a huge problem in several European countries. But I think that discussion if pretty off-topic here... ð
  19. While it's useful to know about folk music, and the thinking that goes along with it, from different parts of the world, not much is comparable to what we have achieved with Western classical and jazz theory, and all the research that has been going on at departments of musicology around the world. It's a bit like comparing traditional Chinese medicine to what they are actually doing in Chinese hospitals today. We acquire new knowledge, then we build on that. Education in folk music is mostly for preserving national traditions, at least here in Europe. If people want to pay to get a music education, and then make EDM, fine. But that doesn't sound like something that belongs at a university to me.
  20. The A-88MkII's PHA-4 Standard action is mechanically different from the PHA-4 Premium/Concert actions used in RD-800 and others, it's designed to be smaller and lighter. So it probably won't feel the same.
  21. I think that keybed was/is in the RD-800 The RD-800 has the PHA-4 Concert action, which replaced the PHAIII of the RD-700NX. The A-88MkII has the PHA-4 Standard action, which I suppose replaces the Ivory Feel-G action used in the original A-88, the FA-08, RD-300NX, etc. Roland loves to use confusing naming...
  22. Haha, love it ð I remember singing the Barbie part at a student concert 20 years ago, with a tiny girl in my class singing the Ken part.
  23. If you want that exact voicing, as opposed to stacked fourths, you could also write Gsus2/E.
  24. Not a bug, but are there any plans to switch to a different theme? This one is very... white. It's a bit rough on the eyes. And there is no horizontal seperation between the threads on the thread list page anymore.
  25. No big deal, but musicplayer.com is a page with a link to the forums, while www.musicplayer.com is just a 404.
