Well... Bought a M-Audio MTrack 2x2M. The unit works but Cubase LE is a piece of crap. It will deny that the driver is installed. Then when it does take it (after fixing the install) you got sound on the left channel. Later it won't give you any sound. Been through several youtube videos and if I ca...

Thank you both of you guys. The Jupiter I bumped into online as an occasion and haggled 15% of the asking price :) The shop gave me a new PSU and the synth is in mint condition with 3 month warranty. For computer connectivity I was looking at Steinberg UR22MKII with Cubasis and Cubase for €129. Rea...

Myrk,

Forgot to update the thread.

Did buy a Jupiter 50 for less than a new FA06.

So I had to rethink the whole thing.

For now I am looking for a good program for midi sequencing and an interface.

The Jupiter sounds amazing but the FA06 as well is a great sounding synth and package.

Hey, JP50 is a very useful machine ... a very useful machine that has been abandoned by both Roland and most people who have ever frequented this forum. I have used the hell out of mine, which I also got for a crazy deal. So you have to balance the fact that is has great sounds and a great keyboard...

Hi guys, This seems not a popular model :) Sorted the editing. Yet still wonder what Sonar LE actually does. Is it a midi sequencer, what can it do what can't it do? If Sonar doesn't do midi sequencing it is back to a workstation. Just watched a Roland FA06 video where a guy triggered samples from k...

Hi guys, Had my eyes on a workstation (FA06 and MOXF6) but at the moment I can get a used J50 under 1k. Since it comes with Sonar I might decide on getting into DAW although a workstation I still favor. Can't seem to find any information (even in the manual) on how to play with LFO and envelopes. Do...

Thanks for the replies. Now I also have an eye on the Juptiter 50 since that comes with Sonar LE. A different approach since I wanted a hardware sequencer but I can get a used one under 1K. Any thoughts on that? What worries me the most is the editing of sounds since it seems pretty APP oriented. As...

Thanks for your in depth reply :) That is quiet a stack of synths you got. Interesting you point out the sequencer to be easier to work with on the Krome than the FA06. Have been watching some videos on this but in near every video I keep asking myself why they are making it so difficult on the Krom...

Thank you both of you guys. Again some good points you both made that make the FA for me the go to workstation again or at least the one to put on top of my list. It is also the cheapest at €855 compared to the others (€1099). The amount of FX that can be used leaves the Korg and Yamaha behind. Like...

Thanks for your reply. Just trying to collect some pros and cons and figure if they would apply to me. The main pros for now are: Sounds and amount of. Menu system with logical clustered parameters. Sequencer and mixer lay out. Cons seem: MIDI Keybed Glossy surface The Krome and MOFX look a bit more...

Thanks for in depth and objective review. Being not so good with midi and needing another €300 device to sort it, not so well layed out DAW usage, iffy keyboard (read that a lot). Was thinking of looking into the Krome more in depth but actually dropping the sequencer and getting a used Jupiter 50 i...

Thanks for the reply.

Well midi probs and workarounds is a bad start.
Might ditch the sampler and go for the Krome61.
Though that isn't a better sounding synth just different.

Hello, My name is Mike and this is my first post here. Though I have a basic knowledge of workstations and synths I am not that knowledgeable at whats for sale anno 2017. Long time ago used to own a.o. a Roland D20, JX-3P and Korg M1. Things have moved on and after doing some research on youtube cam...
