Well here is unit that may sound great, but the build quality is really not ideal. This monster ate a lot of time, but with a complete re-caping and few transistor replacements and relaped heads its looking up for this classic machine.

I recently began downsizing my guitar collection. I traded my Carvin custom made electric, for a Roland VR760. What a beast!. By the time you add even just the one SRX board, in my case the infamous SRX07 Ultimate keys card, WOW!. As a second board to my Yamaha Motif XF8 its dynamite. Best of...

Hi all, I have an 08 dual xeon Mac Pro running Pro Tools 10.3.1-ish. I use the Mbox Pro as an interface bc, well, I think it's alright, and I'm not large enough to need a rack mount. Using Roland TD-11's, running the 1/4" to 1/4" into channels 1 and 2 of the Mbox Pro, cranking the gains on...

came across this while I'm watching tutorials on BFD and a bunch of others. I can totally 'live with this' level of realism and quality lol. The snare roll articulations are remarkable imo. Maybe I've just getting tricked by excitement on my part or hype of my speakers or the video. The hi...

I came across this link while perusing the interweb of some Roland TR-808 samples through a Fairchild 670. The Fairchild is the only one in Australia located at Studios 301 in Sydney, my home town, and undoubtedly the greatest city in the world...;) The link takes you to the Studios 301 site...

So I wanted to run some audio to my 1/4" tape machine. The Roland manual states that there are "audio outs" in the rear of the unit - they are balanced/unbalanced jacks 1/4". TS or TRS. I've used them before for headphone monitoring etc. The manual states 0DBu nominal level, so I suppose...

1. Can I use the api 205 direct input module as a stand alone input?.. Granted i buy the chasse with the power supply... will turning down the input level of the VS2480, and turning up the gain on the api 205L be super effective? or not.... VS2480...

Ok so I'd like to think that I can bust a gut or two on a drum kit, but I am a total newb at this recording stuff. Like the title says, I have a Roland TD9 electronic drum kit, and I'd like to use its pre-programmed drum kits for recording. Right now I'm using Garageband (I know...please...

Currently looking to upgrade my speaker system (quite rubbish atm), which I use for playing synths, mixing and listening to audio on my PC, and am looking to either buy a pair of Rokit 5's or a Roland CM 110's cube system. The 110's seem a better bang for my buck, but I can't seem to find any...

When I saw this video I had to share it with a co-worker who happens to be a very accomplished drummer. This has to be the best designed Virtual Drum Kit I have ever heard. Make sure you listen in HD 720p. Amazingly dynamic and the built in sounds sound.....good! Hard to believe, yes I know...

OK, old units I know. I have just acquired two of them from a friend of mine that passed away and I was just wondering if anyone has aether of these, or would be able to help me with my query?. Firstly, I want to be able to import/export audio - to/from the computer... I know, pre USB, this is...

Hi guys, I need to record piano recitals with 3 or 4 Audio Techinca mics. I use MOTU 896HD with Macbook Pro and Logic Pro, but it isn't really a "portable" solution. So I wonder if TASCAM DR680 or ROLAND R44 could be a good solution. In your opinion MOTU's preamps (and generally the recording...

Is it normal for the factory sounds to play all the way through? What I mean by that is that I'll press the "B" bank pad #1 and it starts playing this song part. I always remember that you could just press the pad a second time and then it would stop playing. Not the case right now. The reason...

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...

I have a DAW system with a MIDI keyboard for musical input. It also has a hardware synth ("ROMpler") module in the chain. The keyboard is a Roland A90EX, and the synth is a Roland JV-2080. The way I've got it hooked up is as recommended in the Cubase "Getting Started" book: Keyboard MIDI OUT to...

I have access to these two studio monitors where i live. I need to decide which one to buy. They are about the same price. What do you think about them? Which one is better according to you? I will connect the monitors to the mbox2 i have. Here are the links to specifications...

What's your favorite Roland studio monitors?

G'day. I recently found a guy selling a used XP-80. He had been using it in a church group and did not use the MIDI functions for anything except a tone generator. I had been using my Roland E200 without a hitch a few months ago, but don't have it with me anymore. I plugged in to my...

My uncle had a Roland XP-10 keyboard ever since the 1980's or 1990's, but since he used it a couple of times and put it away in its box, I decided to take it out many years later and he said I could have it. We bought a new adapter (lost the old one) and plugged it into an amp, and it was...
