Hey is there a way to set loop points in the middle of a sample. Like if sampling a piano keep the attack only when first pressed but setting a loop point for when it's continued to be held down?

Is it worth it to get the Grandmother in this synth market currently? Found a listing near me for $500 and i'm unsure if I should.

• Supercritical Synthesizers Redshift 6
• GS Music Bree6
• Dreadbox Artemis
• One of Behringer's million unreleased synths
• Or something else

Who remembers all the cool Roland Groove merchandise and grabbed one of these backs. I used to carry my MC-808 in this.

its like Korg Keystage has better features but Arturia has better software especially analog lab anyone have experience with them?

For context, I'm a jazz keys player and I've been invited to a touring band. The playing style is not very demanding (reggae - cumbia), so I need a good, sturdy, and light board, 61 or 73 keys, hopefully balanced outputs, to replace my YC88 that I've been painfully moving around. I'll be plaaying APs, EPs, Organs and last but not least: deep, cheesy synths.

I've considered reducing to the YC61, but as a touring act in latinamerica, with the level of crime in some places I'd like to keep it below $1200.

Been eyeing the following boards in the used and new markets, below $1500 US.

- Yamaha MODX6/MODX7
- Yamaha MX61
- Roland FA06
- Roland XPS30/DS61

Can anyone comment on these boards, and what would be the most battle proof of the bunch? How about playing shows, setlist management? Keybeds?

thanks in advance!

To be fair, I like the support I get from Sweetwater, I'm just amused.

The call was also helpful - they already have more pre-orders for the multi/Poly than Korg can guarantee them before year end, so I hit the pre-order button to at least get in the queue.

Here's hoping Santa Korg delivers.

I own a Behringer 2600 and for a while now it keep detuning itself. Not only one oscillator, the 3 keep drifting in and out of tune randomly every 30 or 60 seconds, sometime more frequently. I don't know if it is something normal, something I can resolve myself or if it is the synth who has a problem. Can someone explain to me what can be the cause ?

(I'm french, and my english is not that good, pardon me)

I always wanted the korg x3 sounds but I cannot afford one. If anybody is selling a file with korg x3 sounds on it I would pay for it

Hello. I’m curious if anyone knows anything about the Roland e-10. I haven’t been able to find much about it online, except for some specs and an old manual.

I know they were a cheap synth in the late 80s-early 90s, but what else? They use LA, but does that mean it’s comparable to a D10? Are they programmable, and if so, are they as difficult to program as a D10/D50? There’s a guy selling one near me for $30, so I figured it’s worth it to try, but just curious about it.

Thanks.

I force myself to be incredibly frugal when it comes to buying gear, as a result I have a handful of cheap mono synths. The most polyphony I have in any of my instruments is 3 notes (volcas keys, FM). What would be your recommendation of a poly synth of any type for someone who refuses to spend more than $300 at once on gear?

I also should note I prefer to buy the forgotten about/unwanted/ shrugged off kinda stuff.

Hello fellow Redditors.

I Hope this is the right subreddit for my questions.

I do music production as hobby and until now I only played around with FL Studio on my MacBook Pro. I never got in touch with any kind of Hardware. I now want to get my first "Groovebox", something I can use standalone without my MacBook, for playing around and getting creative (but maybe also to record into FL Studio here and there).

I did a little bit of research and stumbled across two options:

1: Novation Circuit (Tracks) 2: Roland MC-101

As far as I understand, both can be used completely "DAWless" and both are pretty much the same price range. Besides that, are they able to record into a DAW to maybe do changes to the created music?

Do have any other suggestions for another device that fits my needs?

The genres I am into are mostly liquid Drum and Bass, Dark Ambient and some Dark Techno.

Looking forward to get some tips, Inspiration and suggestions.

Thank you all in advance! :)

In your opinion which synths have best VST editor to control it via PC/MAC.

For me it's very important, my favourite so far was Moog sub37 editor

Thanks

I've been thinking of getting back into keys recently after kind of falling off of it a few years back. I don't have a keyboard right now, I'm either thinking of getting a Farfisa Compact or a Technics SX-KN6000.

I always wanted a Farfisa since I'm into 60s pop and new wave and loved the sound of those old transistor organs. There's one near me for $850.

However, I was wondering if I should get something more versatile like a keyboard workstation. I'm thinking about a Technics SX-KN6000 because it has a good sound and it doesn't break the bank too much at $600. I could get something cheaper but I don't want anything too cheap since I played a $20 Casio keyboard from Goodwill and absolutely hated how it sounded. I want something that sounds good so I'll actually be inspired to play. Then for my Farfisa sounds I could just get a MIDI interface for my PC and buy the Farfisa V VST for another $150.

Thoughts?

My iPad and my synth don’t want to talk to each other. I have a usc c to lightning cable that should work as a midi and audio connection. I had an fp30x that hooked up no problem but it had no other settings like the Juno does. Any insights you have to try would be appreciated. There are settings like those above in the menus. I have tried lots of combinations already. I have Logic Pro on the iPad and all I get is “iPad microphone and speaker” on the audio side and nothing on the midi.

I tried connecting it both thru Midi in/out to my MotuM2 interface and usb directly to my laptop. Both dont seem to be able to open as Midi devices on reaper.

My synth works fine going thru in stereo. I dont know where the problem lies and what else i can try. Thank you.

Hello

I am joining a band for live performances and currently my setup is:

• Laptop
• FL Studio
• Studio Monitors
• 88 keys weighted midi controller
• MPC Studio
• Several VST plugins for music production and sounds like East West, Fabfilter pro q3, Serum and others
• Audio Interface Focusrite with this LINE OUTPUTS: LEFT and RIGHT – 2 x ¼” (6.35 mm) TRS jack sockets; +10 dBu output level (variable), electronically balanced.

I am unsure if its worth to get a Stage Synth for Live performances or I can keep my current setup?

If current setup is good, what do I need to add to it?

This is my first ever synth. The only annoyance is that my keyboard doesn't have split MIDI and power in (they're both handled by a micro B port), so I can't connect it directly to the NTS-1. I have to hook both up to a DAW and reroute the signal. In the near future, I'll consider a controller with MIDI out so I can simply use an adapter.
