Roland Clan Forums

<t>Hey guys - long time no type, FBJ!<br/> <br/> Sorry, RW, but I'm no help on this one. I've never used DirectiXer, just Cake's adaptor. Sounds like a valid gripe to me, but all my MIDI info generally starts in Sonar (or the FS) so I don't have that issue. I hope it works for you if you go that rou...

<t>shakil,<br/> <br/> The one thing I'm afraid of with Cakewalk these days is that they are falling into that Digi bifurcation of product features between products. For example, the controller pane in Project 5 looks awesome. You just draw in your curves over the piano roll step sequencer. It would ...

<r>RW,<br/> <br/> Actually, I got an email from Cakewalk about a Sonar 4 tour and it said they will be doing competitive upgrades at the demos. I'm not sure of the prices, but if it's the same, that's even better for you.<br/> <br/> Here's what it said:<br/> <br/> "**Competitive upgrades will be ext...

<t>Hey RW, just got this in an email from Cakewalk:<br/> <br/> "When recording live instruments or singers, it can often take several passes to get things 'just right'. In previous versions, you could stack clips on a single track, which could be cumbersome to edit, or record each take to its own tr...

<t>Honestly, I have no idea what playlists in Sonar do. As far as comping tracks, I don't think S3's methodology is as simple as others. You just put the takes on various tracks and edit.<br/> <br/> However, the new Sonar 4 has composite tracks that look awesome. Basically, you record your takes int...

<t>Sonar does have a playlist feature (actually, it was omitted in S3 and then reinstated in an update due to popular demand). However, I've never used it.<br/> <br/> It has non-destructive editing, but I'm not sure exactly what you want to know. You can slip-edit audio (and MIDI) clips, apply envel...

<t>Hey!!! How's it goin' old pals?<br/> <br/> Congrats on the baby boy RW. I got me a son coming my way in December, as a matter of fact. I'm hoping he protects Sunday football with me in my household against the girls (wife and daughter).<br/> <br/> Well, yeah, I'm the resident Sonar guy, mucsusn.<...

It is gone!! Amazing.

<r>No FS owner could possibly be envious ... that is, as long as he owned this:<br/> <br/> <URL url="http://www.postpiano.com/products/prod_iteminfo.php?id=132&subCat=B%C3%B6sendorfer+290"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.postpiano.com/products/prod_ ... dorfer+290">http://www.postpiano.com/products/...

<t>"... the reviews i read stated that "hey, it sounds cool" but also "gee, they should have spent more time on programming good sounds for it". <br/> <br/> "if i had to make a list of new synths to buy, the v-synth would not be in my top 3. BUT if roland put a bit more effort into building a sound ...

<t>Hmmm, I'm looking forward to giving that FS update a whirl. Hopefully, it's just a babelfish thing, but I've had problems with both of those items, just in a little bit of a different sense:<br/> <br/> 1- When the control pedal is assigned to CC1, even after a system write, when you repower up (o...

<t>By the way, I just spent my lunch hour at the new Guitar Center in Manhattan. I tried a few things, here's my report:<br/> <br/> 1) M-Audio Pro 88 controller: crap, keyboard feels like a rubber sponge<br/> <br/> 2) Korg Extreme: eh. That about sums it up. I felt like I was playing the same sounds...

Thanks guys - will report back tomorrow!

<r>"im not trying to insult ur intellegence!! <E>:-)</E>"<br/> <br/> Not at all -- I'm the one asking for help here. I appreciate it.<br/> <br/> **************************<br/> <br/> (1) I was using the FS standalone, the PC was off. But that was exactly the effect I was hearing, although to a much ...

<t>I've taken a bit of a hiatus with the ol' FS recently as I attempt to familiarize myself with all the new NI Komplete 2 toys. Last night, I was messing around with the FS again and noticed two things:<br/> <br/> 1) The volume level, with volume at maximum on the FS and in my digital mixer, was st...
