Also the "fulcrum" on the XK-7's keys has been moved further from the player (as on the B3.) I KNEW that the B3 action seemed more comfortable/easier to play, because the keys, especially the black keys, go almost straight down compared to

I'm happy that multi contact keybeds for B3 clones are a bit more common. Let's hope they appear on more affordable models in the near future. For me as a player, it's the one thing that most of the clones can't get right, and SO important for smears

Most people will know them from the Kontakt VST and Machine beat maker which is used by a lot of plug-in manufactures, and is an industry standard, hopefully things will turn out alright in the end. (According to some reports 80% of music produced us

Hello to everybody. I have a PA3X and was considering updating to a PA5X. Apparently, the PA3X custom styles, sounds and drum kits are not directly compatible with the PA5X. Does that means that I would loose all my own settings or the PA5X can r

With audio tracks from sites like karaoke-version.com being so affordable ($2.99 a tune) and using real guitars, basses, background vocals etc, they pretty much kill MIDI sequences. They are available in multitrack format, so you can edit them almos

iPads don't run Mac software. Unless I missed one, I've seen no arranger software for iPad. Most of Giglad's storage requirements come from the soundset. I don't want to use their sounds, just want to use a GS soundset and then stuff like Pianoteq,

I'm a big fan of the CME products, for wireless AND wired MIDI. Give their H4 interface a look. USB-C, USB-A, 5-pin MIDI & wireless MIDI (WIDI) with an optional internally mounted accessory board. Very affordable, very reliable.

I've messed with Python but I'm not a programmer or developer. There are probably software EMULATORS that can emulate specific hardware such as the ICs used in the venerable RA-800. AI large-language models can write code, and might also easily tran

Giglad was just used as an example and not meant as the definitive software arranger. As I mentioned you cannot copy and paste software between equipment as it all has to be recoded to work with different hardware (This is why a Windows program will

Essayist and simplest way is to use a computer or tablet as the bridge so that you have full control of what goes where. (Note not all Midi USB keyboards are supported by tablets) Bill

How 2 Ctrl 2 keyboards w. MIDI with only USB B by Dengizich @ 01/23/26 05:15 PM

This wasn't an issue in the past when keyboard manufacturing companies put a 5 Din MIDI connector on keyboards, but nowadays all you have is a USB B (USB to HOST). How do you connect two keyboards that only have a USB to HOST for MIDI?
