So it is a non-secret that you won't reveal. 😂

I made an algorithm to prepare the samples. It is applied for all (the same process).
And what does the algorithm do? Or is it a secret? 🙄

Can you be more precise about what is the pre-processing you do to the files before uploading and mixing them? Thank you.

So play guitar and just don't change strings. I'm going on a year with the same set on my guitar and I play it about every day. Those rogue bulk strings are pretty tough. Stainless steel frets help too.
Hey, @Baldwin Funster I think you misquoted me. I replied to the OP and I am not the one wanting to play heavy metal.

I want to play keyboard because, basically, I’m too lazy and cheap to replace the strings of my guitar every other week
Hm... Is that the reason? You can buy lots of string sets for the price of any good synth...

Maybe...
...the foam that you put on top of the keybed contained some kind of slow releasing agent (e.g. a solvent used in the production) that eventually causes plastic damage? If you kept the instrument always in the bag, then it could be a long time exposure.
...the force of playing on the keys could induce a tiny flexing on that region that causes micro-fractures on the surface (so you see the cumulative effect). If so, I would expect that to be a common observation, though. Has this been reported elsewhere?
...the batch of plastic used was of a lower quality than expected?
...all or some combination of the above?

I said that would be like hiring a musician for the day, and record scales, chords, riffs, lead lines, chord progressions - the DNA of music - which could then be reassembled on other sessions.
How is that different from what the Mellotron did years ago?

Have you tried prompting "in the style of Roger Dean"? That might be more interesting.

what exactly is a "weighted sum" of L & R? A little more left or right depending on...
... the key position. I suppose the balance of the mix of L and R is per key. Key in the most to the left is only L output, that in the most to the right only R and the rest a mixture depending where they are nearest to. The ones in the middle should be a 50% mix of L & R. I have no idea if that is true and if so how they achieve this, but the claim was that it made the pianos sound better in mono as there is less phase cancellation. Caveat emptor!
-
Clavia appears to have mentioned in an interview that the "mono" button in their instrument does a weighted sum of L & R, rather than L+R, so it might depend on the instrument.

Somewhat related: back in 1994 at Ensoniq we considered the physics of the body/hands and decided to angle the Pitch and Mod wheels. I always thought it was a good idea for longer keyboards. It didn't really catch on, though.
The Nords have both angled wheel and pitch stick.

If there's interest, I'll present some of my findings.
Please do! I have also been interested in "pseudo-stereo" processing.

A hammer action with poly AT is world's first, errr… after the CS80, that is. Kudos to Yamaha.
And after the DX1, too...

Negatives:
- I think the biggest surprise for me was the list of things I had no idea that previous models couldn’t do like saving effects as part of a sound, that after 18 years are now finally “fixed”.
Just a comment, not exactly sure what you meant by "a part of a sound" here, but the effects settings have been always been saved as part of a "program" (e.g. in the NS2 it can consist of several engines: 2 organs, 2 pianos, 2 synths) and you could assign effects to those, although some of those exclusively to one engine or another in each of the two slots available per program) . What it is new in the NS4 is that different sound engines can have their individual effects.

Have a look at the Stubberget bracket for monitors from Ikea. There is a version for 1 and another for 2 monitors. Maybe you can adapt it to your setup?
-
A user in the Yamahamusicians forum noted that if you transposed the MODX, then when pressing the Shift button, the transpose buttons illuminate, which can be used for quick-checking the transpose status. Not ideal but better than nothing.
It would be much more useful if the transpose buttons blinked or were half-dimmed, or some area of the touch screen changed in color somewhere.
-
I installed the Med sample (actually it is the smallest of them all) and I feel this is the most dynamic of all Rhodes samples for the Nords. I always felt that the EP samples lacked dynamics (i.e. brilliance, volume and barking the high velocity levels). This one is way different/better.
-
Did you try moving the cable around when it does not work? Maybe there is an intermittent contact/broken cable.
-
That chip ISP1181bdgg seems to be discontinued now but there are some sites listed as having them available. Just search for that number. Good luck with the soldering iron 😬
-
Is there a source of "reasonably priced" angled din connectors? Those Switchcraft ones in the UK they are about £15 each. 😱

I used a rubber piano tuning wedge.
Don't try that in the Osmose synth!

Somehow it never registered to me that you can do this with *more than one* note. Holding the E minor triad down while he plays piano during Runnin' Down a Dream is SO crafty.
I added a latch switch button to a simple sustain pedal and wired it in parallel to the original switch, so I can play a chord and leave is sustained without keeping the foot on the pedal. I placed the latch switch close to the pedal hinge, so it can be used in either way.
Here is a photo:

Is that the 'lock and key' method?
