OK...so I admit it...I am a guitar player, not a keyboardist! I do have a Yamaha digital piano with a midi setup that I use to control VSTi's. I keep thinking that I need to get a synth or maybe just a synth module (until I can afford the whole new keyboard).

me and my friends have been trying to get this VS-880to sync for weeks. we found help files of how to do it from various sites but still never got it to sync PROPERLY in any version of cakewalk. not sure if it was my friends system or what but if anybody has an answer, please let me know.

Anyone got an opinion on these monitors? Local GuitarCenter just got a trade in set and can get em for $500 (pair). Have digital, analog, and optical inputs.
So...anyone got some input?

Thanks much.

I'm trying to sync a roland 1680 up with a mac based Pro Tools 001 system and having one hell of a time. Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance

I recently picked up a Roland SRV-3030D for $299 brand new (with no tax and free shipping) at ZZounds.com The price has dropped to $269.95

Does anybody here know how I could record guitar tracks on my older VS-840EX workstation and bypass the main inputs [& therefore record un-compressed audio to my recorder]? Is it really possible to record via/through the External IN function of the VS-840EX and use only the Track Cues as the main recording level controls [instead of the main input sensitivity controls]?

I bought a Roland VS-840EX several years ago and was wondering whether I can bypass this machine's RDAC circuitry? I was thinking that if I plugged my mic preamps signal through the 840EX's EXTERNAL INs jacks I would then bypass the machine's main inputs.

Anyone have any opinions on which is better for a PC based entry into DAW?

I'm posting this here only because of higher traffic and quicker replies than on the Keyboards or even Roland forums on this site. Also because I don't have much time to resolve this issue, a deadline is approaching and I need this sound!

The goal:

ok, I'm now officially intrigued by this issue.
If anyone out there is an expert on Roland sounds or sound design in general and can clear the fog, I'd like to know the following:
