hello,
I am looking for a good keyboard for Ableton, 4 octaves will be ok, right? I create electronic music: experimental, ambient, witch house, minimal synth, minimal wave, synth. what do you think about: E-MU Xboard 49 vs Novation Nocturn vs 49. M-Audio Axiom 49? which is best?

thx!

Does anyone know of a good software tuner to use to tune an old RMI 368X ElectraPiano/Harpsichord?

Hi,
I have a dilemma which i can't seem to get my head around so maybe someone can help me here.

I need a new Win7 laptop for musical use in live performance... (Rompler) and... at most as a stereo field recorder... or perhaps to take a feed from the house mix.

I like to record sounds in Cubase LE4, but although the sounds From the M1 is played via Yamaha CS1x the sound is heard by me from the speakers. BUt the midi on Cubase isn''t triggered! My processor is AMD, and just everything I use from VST works except the Virtual instruments by KORG as Wavestation, M1 etc. Would love to use the sounds of KORG in my productions!

Hi,

I dunno if this is the right place, but I need a new Win7 laptop for home use, but I was thinking that I'd like to get one that is usable for live performance.

Juno keyboards with the USB flash-drive function on top panel that can play back WAV, MP3, AIFF, etc.

Downloaded manuals for all applicable models, searched through instructions, analyzed MIDI Implementation charts, and still have no conclusive answer.

Emailed Roland, got zilch. Following is my email, and their non-answer:

...through the speakers with a Zoom H1 Handy Recorder, using the condenser capsules.

So far, it's been pretty much trial and error as to the absolute *best* position that the H1 should be in, in relation to the keyboards speakers.

I am currently looking to get a midi keyboard controller for my setup, and have been stuck on three choices for a week now. The M-audio Axiom Pro 49, Akai MPK49, and Novation sl mkii 49. I have heard both good and bad things from people on all three of these and cannot decide. If it is any consellation i will be running Cubase with this controller.
Thanks for any replies.

When I plug the keyboard directly into an input I get static. Even on the lowest of volume. When I connect the keyboard to a DI box and take the output of the DI into a preamp, I get little sound. I have literally tried everything. And I have run out of ideas. Help would very much be appreciated. Thanks!
