Been through a few iterations, but have now settled on this. I love it, I take the iPad off to go get inspired places, then hook it up to this to perform the final mix to a Zoom H8, then a bit of mastering in Logic and then we get this....

My Behringer Odyssey just showed up today! What do you think of this combo? I’ve barely scratched the surface of using them together.

Hi! I've come to join my friend's band that plays some rock/alternative/pop songs and I've got some list of songs that the band has decided to play.

I checked on them then I realized that a lot of them do not include synth sounds. Now I'm kind of worried on how to add synth sounds on those songs.

The list above are songs that the band has to play and I'm not even sure if the synthesizer that I use will fit into some of those songs (I use Korg Poly-800).

It would be really nice if I can get some tips on how to add 'appropriate' synth sounds on those songs that don't originally include synths!

I'm a beginner in synth-playing and gentle advice would help a lot!! Thank you!!

Hey, I have a question. I've been using the Korg Electribe 2 (Synth version) for a few months now, and I'm considering upgrading it with the Hacktribe firmware. What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing so? What benefits would it bring, and how difficult is the process?

Hello folks.

About to order the reface CP, and I need the most proper powerbank solution for it.

I know I need 12V. I am TERRIBLE in physics and synthesizers and don’t want to fry my instrument.

Can you guys help me understand what I need to get in order to not risk damaging my reface CP?

How’s that?: https://www.thomann.de/de/harley_benton_powerplant_powerbank_mk2.htm?gad_source=1

Thank you in advance!!

Hello!

I have one question regarding the tb-03. The issue is that when I’m working with it if I have a pattern on for example group 1-2, and another in group 3-4, in order to change to the second pattern I need to both change to group 3-4 and also press start twice (stop then start) for it to play the second pattern.

In case of the TD-3 or TD-3-MO, when you change group, as soon as the pattern 1 from group 1-2 ends, starts playing the pattern 2 from group 3-4. So that fucks a lil my lives cos I’m using the tb-03 as main clock source as you have 2 decimals for the bpm so I can tune it closer to the cdj tracks.

I’m pretty new into the tb-03 so maybe it’s a noob question but if anyone knows what could I do to sort this problem it would be great!

Thank you!!

When I bought my Juno DS from Sweetwater they gave me a bonus thumb drive with EXP-01 through EXP-10. Does anyone know if those are the same as the EXP-01 through EXP-10 on Roland's Axial Site? I assume they are but want to download them if not because they are listed as "limited time". Then the axial site also has XV5080-Bank A through XV5080-Bank G available. Are none of the Exp or XV5080 files on the Roland Axial Site presets on the Juno DS? I haven't looked into it manually because there are already so many presets pre-installed on the Juno DS that I haven't even checked all of those out or become familiar with those. But I want to download all the libraries just in case and if they limited time I guess I should figure it out. Thanks for any help!

What’s up community

I had a standard keyboard as a kid and only just purchased an Akai MPK Mini Play because of its small size, built in pads and speaker, and the price.

It’s great, but I thought it would have a playback/“loop” feature for replaying beats you just tapped on the pads or sounds on the keys, which was a bummer at least to me.

Are there any keyboards that feature this sound recording/playback, or is that only available when connecting it to a computer and using a DAW?

Hope this makes sense. Thanks

So trying to find the right synth/drum machine combination for me. What are my requirements? It just needs to function.1st iteration MicroFreak,minilab 3, OG Drumbrute. Drumbrute totally solid. Functions as it should zero problems. MicroFreak freezes ,doesnt always sync via usb,midi,or clock returning tomorrow. Minilab3 won't consistently recognize Ableton,doesnt always even operate it's own synth software have spent 4 days trying to make it work i have to return it now because the time sink has already made that gear super costly. I need a synth that isn't buggy and will absolutely work consistently and a midi controller that isn't garbage and can operate a DAW and virtual synths,what should I do.

Yes, I know I could get literally any other synth, but I want The Killers Hot Fuss sounds. I'm having trouble finding a straight answer as to whether the new patches for the S version took the place of the original Microkorg sounds or if all of the original Microkorg V1 sounds are still in tact on the S version. Thanks, y'all!

Hi guys, im new to all of this, i got a Volca FM2 for christmas and want to expand because i love it so much. So im looking into the Volca Mix, Sample 2, and Bass for a nice simple setup to go along with my FM2 It isnt a necessity, but for QoL a Midi controller like the keystep would be great. My question is, would i need a Midi thru box to get it to work these devices or could i plug it into somewhere along the chain and assign each synth to a different channel, and if this can be done without having to a have a DAW or interface of any kind?

I recently acquired an old MS2000 through a friend. She was trying to get rid of it, because she felt bad it had been left behind by a past roommate and sat unplayed for several years, so she gave it to me for very cheap. I bought a new power supply for it, and it turns on and seems to function properly (the buttons all respond and the lights blink and the display works), but I’m not getting any sound to come out of it—not the L or R or headphone ports, and I’ve tried all my different cables too.

Any recommendations on how to diagnose or something simple to try? I’m happy to get it to a repair tech if need be, but want to try to fix it myself and get this thing singing if I can. Thanks everyone.

That's it that's my question. Has anyone had a straight forward experience with this gear? Any start up tutorials you felt were effective? Ableton definetly doesnt consistently recognize the product. It appears in input and output and control surface tabs but doesn't consistently send signals or seem to acknowledge Ableton in DAW mode. The unit won't even recognize it's own synth software consistently,it's really pretty remarkably bad as afar as I can tell. This has really wasted a ton of my time ,if anyone has a suggestion I'd appreciate it.

Seems to be lots of independent synth builders on Etsy

My vote goes to this:

If you know any other cool/unique Etsy synths out there let’s hear it.

I have been playing piano and synths for decades but I've never connected any to a computer synth (vst I believe?) or used midi to connect 2 boards or used midi at all for that matter. I have a Juno DS synth with USB to computer and midi in/out, a Yamaha P71 88 keyboard with a USB B connection. I've been reading for hours and watching YouTube videos but maybe I'm just a dumb old geezer by this point because I still don't know if I can or how to connect the Yamaha to the Juno DS and then use the Yamaha, which has full and weighted keys to play patches from the Juno DS, which I would love to do for piano/organ sounds. Is this possible? I then would also like to connect the Juno DS to a VST and play patches from the VST on either or both boards (looking at OBX-X Pro-II, my bandmates would trip if I played the opening bass note from Tom Sawyer by Rush which is an included patch) Thanks, any help is appreciated!
