TomKittel Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I got it for cheap. 100 bucks at Amazon Warehouse. Doesn't sound cheap at all! Great versatile stereo FX pedal. 5 Quote LIFE IS SHORT, GO GET THE GEAR YOU WANT ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which reminds me that my floppy has stopped working, looking into getting a USB/SD solution instead. Quote "You live every day. You only die once." Where is Major Tom? - - - - - Band Rig: PC3, HX3 w.

Chummy Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 @jazzpiano88 Why did Korg discontinue the Kronos in the first place? It seems to me like the current Nautilus is inferior. Congratz on your M8x, I owned the original M8 for a couple of years, a beast for sure.

Docbop Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 So since I getting back into recording and playing guitar again I went with a buddy to Guitar Center today. For recording I picked up some percussion shakers and such then some picks. Looking around the store has less and less in store and what they have to main lowend gear, but they did have some new $$$ Gibsons. i wanted to check the keybeds out on some Arturia and NI controllers and they no longer have any open and only a couple even on the wall for sale. Other than guitars and amps might as well buy online and have it shipped to the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokely Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Jumped the gun--I was trying to wait on sales of at least two keyboards to make another purchase--it's Sam Ash's fault. Got a Fantom 6. They recently discounted the non-EX ones by $400, then I got a Sam Ash emailed coupon for 15% off anything. O rly, I know that "anything" usually means lots of exclusions. Welp, it worked, so I got it. Brand new Fantom 6 for just over $2200 before tax. I considered the 7, but it is 37 pounds. Plus I have a really excellent gator hardshell flight case that will perfectly fit the Fantom 6. It's still "processing" so there's a paranoid part of my brain that thinks they might come back and say that coupon wasn't supposed to apply LOL! This plus the used Nord Stage 3 compact I have been using--which I love--will cover any and all bases I have and then some. Either keyboard can do my gigs, and both together should be fun. Sure, I'm missing a weighted board but that's never really been a huge deal for me. Assuming I like the thing, I really do feel "done" in a way I haven't previously. Of course, many of us have said that before and found it not to be the case! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RABid Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Bought the Baby Audio everything package while it is on sale. Have had my eye on BA-1 and the 1.5 update with effects was a big improvement. 11 plugins for $239, including two instruments. Quote This post edited for speling.

GovernorSilver Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Bought this rolling stand from Liquid Audio. It'll be handy for rolling a digital piano in front of the computer for Open Studio lessons, or just figuring out stuff from Youtube videos, then rolling it back out of the way afterwards. When I put my Casio Privia on it, it sits a bit high, but I think an adjustable height piano bench can make up for it. Assembling it takes some patience as the assembly video warns but once assembled it feels solidly built. https://www.liquidstands.com/products/portable-home-recording-studio-workstation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faced with the same problem I went the opposite direction and brought my computer to my keyboard. I made up a music stand above my DP, out of a sheet of plate glass and mounted a standard monitor on a flexi stand directly behind the glass. Combined with a mini desktop pc and a Bluetooth keyboard and trackball, I can still use sheet music, or clear it away for YouTube video, online lessons or Mobile Sheets. Interesting how there's always more than one solution. 😀 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brenner13 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Replacement Super Knob for my MODX7. High quality gig bag just is not enough protection for this delicate board and it’s poorly placed knobs.

Docbop Posted Friday at 07:42 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:42 PM Well Apple came out with updated iPads I don't think they were really upgrades and got a look at M4 and where those chips are headed. So seeing new M4 iPad I went online and ordered a new Mac Studio!!!! Going to take two weeks to arrive so guess they are busy in China building the config I want. So for less money than a fully config'd iPad Pro with magic keyboard and pencil pro I got a Mac Studio M2 Max. For doing audio recording I don't do graphic/video stuff the M1 and M2 chips are better deal than M3 and M4 that keep adding more for people doing graphics/video work. The M2 Max has as many neural cores at the new M4 does. A big difference that will help on audio using libraries the M4 they upped the memory bandwidth to 120 or was it 150, but the M2 Max is 400. I don't like using hubs and dongles and the Mac Studio has lots of ports front and back. So this should be a excellent computer for me. My old Intel iMac is starting to show its age, the fan is kicking in now and then and screen isn't as sharp, so I'd rather replace it now when I can choose than wait for it to die and have to buy whatever is available fast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RABid Posted Friday at 10:28 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:28 PM I traded in my M1 Air for a 15" M3 Air. 13 is too small for me and my aging eyes. Not having to use one of the Thunderbolt 4 ports for power will help. My M1 MacBookPro has a HUB and a 4TB SSD velcroed to the back of the monitor, permanently attached. I plan to keep installs on the lite side with the Air. No NI Komplete taking up huge amounts of space. No loop libraries. Just my favorite VSTi's. 1 Quote This post edited for speling.

Boy, am I repenting at leisure over that one. I'm going to have to go bigger and probably let my M1 Mini become a glorified netbook. I thought I had been at it long enough not to trip over another paradigm shift, but if that's not what happened. Oh well, live and learn and simmer lightly in your own juices for a while. Get crapped on, rinse, repeat! I'm still happy with how breezy Logic became with the M1 chip. Its not like I was going to turn some color outside the UV range and go mad by going Linux.

I've replaced the Super Knob cap, volume knob cap, power switch cap, and the entire PC board for the volume knobs on my MODX7, now I need to replace the cheap end caps. Or, I could just sell the MODX and settle for my MX61. 1 Quote Hardware Yamaha MODX7, DX7, PSR-530, MX61/Korg TR-Rack, 01/W Pro X, Trinity Pro X, Karma/Ensoniq ESQ-1 Behringer DeepMind12, Model D, Odyssey, 2600/Arturia Keylab MKII 61 Software Studio One/V Collection 9/Korg Collection 4/Cherry Audio/UVI SonicPass/EW Composer Cloud/Omnisphere, Stylus RMX, Trilian/IK Total Studio 3.5 MAX/Roland Cloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leroy C Posted yesterday at 01:17 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:17 AM I have a Roland VR-730. It has the well-known glitch with the expression pedal jack. I followed instructions for modding my Yamaha expression pedal (more specifically, an adapter for it), but it still wasn't quite doing the trick. I bought one of these to bypass the jack altogether and just treat it as a MIDI pedal. Works like a charm, and has even a second input. I plan to use it with a footswitch for the rotary speed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
