Is anyone else having issues with the Roland USB audio driver not working after MacOS updates? The keyboard is still recognized as a MIDI device and my Mac automatically switches to the System 8 as an audo output when it powers on but no audio from the Mac can be heard. Sometimes rebooting the Mac o...

No one? Buehler? So it seems the output level controlled by the main volume and amp level knob affects both the output volume and USB together, which is a shame. It would have been nice if each had their own levels. My solution for now has been to set my monitors to 50% and set the output volume and...

My setup: System-8 connected to my Mac via USB. A pair of monitor speakers attached to the System-8. I route the audio from the Mac out through the synth . When I try to record audio, in Garageband, the audio level is really low. After some playing around, I found that I could raise the input level ...

That helps a lot. I wasn't sure whether the MX-1 acted like a USB hub or whether it virtualized the devices behind it. It seems like it's the latter, more or less. I was worried that I'd have to plug the S8 directly into into my Mac to get it work properly with plugouts. I'm glad that's not the case...

So does that mean that downloading plugouts wouldn't work through the MX-1 i.e. the computer wouldn't see the System-8 as a System-8?

How are the devices plugged into the MX-1's USB host ports seen by the computer? If I plug in my System-8 and FA-08, would my computer see them as System-8 and FA-08 or would they be seen as some kind of MX-1 device?

I haven't been able to find an answer for this.

Actually just seen inside a System 8 machine and under the hood there are three chips and it seems they've changed the name of them. On the system 1 the chip was called an ACB chip. However in the system 8, they've changed them to BCB and found that stands for behavioural circuit behaviour. So my g...

Ah, I see. That was far from obvious. Thanks For anyone else reading this: Go ahead and add the product to your cart. Then proceed to the checkout step. It will prompt you there for the product key. After that the special price will be displayed. Is the special price supposed to be secret or somethi...

So has anyone figured out how to register their System-8 to get the discount? I registered mine but I had to type in System-8 as the instrument type because it wasn't in the list (Canadian site). After doing so I still don't see a discount.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but there's a FA-08 involved. My current setup is super simple. My FA-08 connected to my Mac via USB. The FA-08 is connected to a pair of monitor speakers. This works beautifully. When the FA is on, the Mac's audo mixes seamlessly with that of the FA th...

I really enjoyed your Axel-F video. I was wondering if you'd considering doing a video on how you created the sounds for that song?

I have a SP-2 and it works great. It's cheaper than the DP-10 but feels like a high quality product and it has a good weight to it so it doesn't move around on you. I have an EV-5 as well and it works well too.

Yeah, that was the first place I looked. I do seem to recall hearing something that was close though. I'll keep looking.

Has anyone run into a Hang (drum) sound in the FA or the EXP packs? Even something close would do.

Thanks for sharing. I hope to try this out shortly.
