Not for a CS-800, but for 1U modules in a stationary installation, sure.

How did you do the scanning while allowing the original hardware to also scan?
I didn’t. I gutted it and kept only the key bed and the scanning matrix. Essentially I turned it into a controller.

I was thinking about what it would take to mod a nord Electro 6D (or really any Fatar keybed board) to support MIDI on the high trigger. . .
Only yesterday, I started thinking of something similar for my C2D for the bottom split of the lower manual, though in my case, I would want velocity sensitivity so I'd need both switch contacts. The problem is, I don't want to disable the C2D to do the work. I wonder if I could get a schematic somewhere, or perhaps one for parts. I do have an Electro 4 though. I wonder if the construction is similar in this area?
In the last century, I modified a Yamaha PF15 to add a velocity sensitive MIDI out. This was done using an 8051 running at 8 MHz (I think?). That had enough speed to do 16 note polyphony. After 16 I had to start robbing counters.

I changed to it as an homage to Bob Schleicher. It’s the one he used in his to emails to me.

Take a look at a medical stool. There are some that have high range. Here's one that adjust 22 to 30 inches for example.

The music on older cartoons are chock full of insane scores and ripping orchestras, not to speak of incredible dynamics, time and tempo changes
I liked the Top Cat theme so much I charted it for the "Swing Band" band I was in (remember those?). I like the way the rhythm breaks from swing to straight and back again. Anyway, the trumpet player couldn't hack it so we never perormed it. I can't recall who wrote it except that it wasn't the name of a TV theme writer I had heard of.

Nord C2D - OS v1.12
- Trigger high/low selection is a system setting and applies to all manuals/splits.
- High trigger - sends MIDI fixed key velocity 100
- Low trigger - sends MIDI key velocity

If you are not covering LHB, then use no bass reinforcement. Bass players tend to get annoyed by KB with bass content that infringes on their turf.

I'm guessing that the horn she's holding is a mid-80s King/Conn 615. (I should be practicing. Oh well...) The low register pads on the left side of the bell and the shape of the substantial neck brace narrow the choices. Any other guesses?

That's not the first time I've seen a video of a tenor that plays like an alto - split tones, altissimo, etc. The video says the saxophonist is Talayna Moana Nikora. IMDB says Talayna Moana Nikora is a stunt actor. So she may have actually had flames on her back while filming. Maybe that's what it takes to play hot sax.

Has anyone had their hearing tested while using hearing aids? She has them (the royal She), and a friend has them. Both said that their hearing was not checked after the aids were put in. How does one know the EQ curve is optimum? It would be nice to be able to tweak that.

I just noticed this topic and found myself nodding along to the postings. My experience is similar to others. Locking in with a good drummer and driving the band might be the most fun I've had playing.
I use a C2D with the lower manual split. MIDI into a Roland M-BD1, driving a 500 W bass amp. The M-BD1 is a 90s rompler with sampled electric and acoustic basses (M. Miller, J. Patitucci, A. Laboriel). One can be had for around $100.
I recently gifted a fretless to a friend's teenage bass playing son. Now there are only four basses under the bed. 😁

I have a 142 for the house and a 122 to gig with. The picture is of my 142. It has two fixed casters and two swivel casters with no brakes. The 122 has brakes on the swivel casters.
A caster pair is mounted to a slab of 19" x 4" x 3/4" plywood with 1/4" sheet metal screws and T-nuts. T-nuts are mounted recessed on the opposite side. The ten screws attaching each assembly to the base are #10x1-1/4" SS phillips pan head sheet metal screws.
The casters are from casterconnection.com. I stole this set off of my gigging Leslie. Maybe they have something other than orange. I don't know.
Polyurethane, 350 lb, 3" dia., 1-1/4" width, 4-1/4" height.
- Fixed: SKU: CCAPEX-325-R
- Swivel (no brake): SKU: CCAPEX-325-R
- Swivel (side lock brake): SKU: CCAPEX-325-S-VB
The fixed casters are probably more important on the 122 because I tilt it back on them when loading in/out and jumping curbs. Swivel casters will flop over when you try that. Brakes are essential on the 122. These casters roll very easily, either across the parking lot while unattended during loading in/out or on stage from a small push.
There is no loss in bass from having the cabinet 6" above the floor. You get boundary gain until the distance is greater than 1/4 wavelength. At 50 Hz, 1/4 wavelength is 67 inches.

Stevie Wonder and His Dream Machines is an article about Stevie Wonder's early embrace of new sounds and technology and his influence on the development of synthesizers, pedals, and other electronica used for music creation and production.
A final quote from the article:
QuoteWonder never stopped believing in the power of music technology to open up new vistas, to dissolve the borders between genres. “Of course we can use our technology for our own destruction, but because it’s where the human race is at, I can’t reject it,” he told The New York Times in 1984. “For me, it’s incredibly useful in finding new colors and textures, and it won’t be long before I’ll be able to interface all kinds of software, including reading machines, artificial speech synthesizers and Braille into the creative process.” He has always believed in the power of these machines to transform the world for the better. Of all the various utopias he hoped for, perhaps this is the one that came the closest to coming true.

I'm looking for a recommendation for a safe, reliable download utility site for audio from YouTube to MP3, .WAV, etc.
I used to use a free online tool where I would paste the link of the YouTube video and it would download a file, but I do not think this is safe with all of the popups now. I'd like to know if there is a good tool to do this online as I don't like to install software from developers I don't know or trust.
I understand the OP was asking for an online tool. This tool, youtube-dl is not. However, it is open source. It is a command line tool and requires a python interpreter, though there is a windows executable available that obviates the python interpreter.
From the wikipedia entry:
youtube-dl is a free and open source download manager for video and audio from YouTube[2] and over 1,000 other video hosting websites.[3] It is released under the Unlicense software license.[4]
One thing I like, it can show all available audio and video formats. Here is a list generated for one of my YT videos. The first line is the command line that generated the report:

do the EL34s make the same power ?
There must be a difference, but I haven't noticed it.

Welcome to the world of tube amps. The good news is that there will be some unpopular tube that gets overlooked for awhile and you can get get a tech to mod your amp to run on it for a couple hundred bucks. Or maybe more, but when the price of 6550s goes to $100 per tube, the mod may be a bargain.
I have one Leslie amp that can run either 6550s or EL34s (switch selectable). EL34s are currently about half the price of 6550s.

The "oh brother" moment for me was the mention of an incorporated technology that "helps remove a veil". Things that remove a layer of veiling in the sound reproduction was standard copy for reviews of high-end audio gear in the previous century. I was surprised to see such a worn phrase used in modern ad copy. Perhaps I shouldn't have been.

I have an old LG G2 with the chip removed that I use for a media player. Camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, browser, games, etc.

I sense a business opportunity for the "scatch and sniff" makers...
In the interest of "authenticity", which clonist will be the first to include "authentic oil smell" along with the other features, e.g. tweakable tone generator cal., key click, crosstalk, etc. None? I suppose one could at least include one of those scratch-n-sniff paper things in the promo material.

Any time I read anything about the smell of a Hammond, I think of a funny posting Perry Hemus made to the zk3 Hammond mailing list in 1995. He was lamenting the fact that he had an M100 which didn't have the sound he was looking for.
Quote...
I have one at the moment, I am looking out for a decent lesley. But at the moment it sounds crap (churchy, ooh Mrs Miller, wheres my bloomers?)...
I don't want a module or a synth, I hate them, I want a big bastard Hammond that screems, hums and smells like an old man's house.
I have one at the moment that does the latter, but not the former.
Advice please.

1. Turn on EXPANDED VIEW (next to START NEW TOPIC) in the upper right hand corner (of the forum itself, not in the Topic).
That shows a preview of the content of the first posting in a thread. I would like to preview what my post will look like before I actually post it. I suppose I don't really need to, since it isn't possible to edit the unformatted code.

Used Nord C2D for 4600USD - Really?
in The Keyboard Corner
Posted
Reverb Listing It seems a little pricey to me. I bought a one in mint condtion five years ago for $2800 shipped. Is this because they are discontinued? There seem to be other good options now.
