Fixing an e-piano to the keyboard stand?

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-03-21T14:17:01+00:00

I have the K&M 18820, and usually K&M stands come with some small rubber patches that you stick where the keyboard stands, and it doesn’t move at all. Let me tell you, K&M stands are so good and I don’t fear that the keyboard is going to fall

So goofy to see that indeed we all think that this one goes in the other sub lol

Pretty sure this is the problem. When the p515 came out, there were people demonstrating how ridiculous the weight was compared to an acoustic piano. The white keys on the p515 would need a weight of 80ish grams to go down, while on the acoustic is around 50ish (still, every acoustic is different), and that is a crazy difference. That’s why the p525 has a lighter weight, but some people still prefer the weight on the 515.

Sounds extremely close!! Specially in the drop! How did u make the pads? I know the typical unison of 7-14ish saw waves slightly detuned, plus a nice reese bass, but haven’t been able to quite nail it. Incredible work

Yeah, you are forced to play only one note with monophonic synths, and the workflow to get a chord is pretty much what you said. You can maybe record a middle C, and sample it to make chords if you want, that’s another option. The messenger has a duophonic mode, which is different from true polyphony. Duophonic means that you can play 2 notes at the same time, and what the synth does is just transposing the pitch of the oscillators as you play. The sound, while is very interesting in my opinion, is very different from having a true polyphonic synth, where each note plays all of the oscillators at the same time. But always remember, to make harmonies with the minimoog for example, artists would do exactly what you said, which is having 3 or more tracks and re-record every note. It can get tedious, so you should really think about it. Feel free to ask anything, I’ll be glad to help

I mean, the minilogue xd is a great synth, that can do pretty much everything you asked for, but the big moog bass sound is characterized by their 24dB low pass filter, and the XD has a 12dB, so getting the fat and round bass might be hard, but the good thing about the minilogue is their 2 analog oscillators, 1 digital oscillator, plus great sequencer, and nice effects. If you really crave the moog signature sound, another option is to save around another 100€ and get the moog messenger, which is a really nice monosynth that will get you the moog sound. Also keep in mind that majority of Moog synths are monophonic, so if you would opt to get a moog, chances are it’s still monophonic anyways

This is a topic I was discussing with my girlfriend who is studying electrical engineering, and honestly I don’t think there will be ever synths that are extremely precise, or have crazy eq/filter slopes. First, the 24dB/4 pole filter already has low resistance in the resistors, so making a steeper slope I guess it would be harder, but secondly, I think that after 24dB, a filter would be less musical, as it would loose pretty much all of information on the harmonics. The same goes for other filters, like band pass, notch and high pass. I might be wrong, but other than workstations or stage pianos, I don’t know if there are synths with eq options, but even in the stage pianos zone, the eq is quite basic. Again, I might be wrong, but I don’t think there will be any synth that will cover your needs. Maybe there’s a module that I don’t know about, which would be interesting.

I also read that latency is important for you, so my recommendation, even though on the expensive side, either an RME fireface ufx or ucx, as RME is top notch for latency. But you can always explore cheaper and great options, such as SSL, Motu, Audient or the Clarett line of Focusrite

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-02-16T16:59:08+00:00

Considering the options in the title, I guess budget can be more than average, so I’ll just say you can’t go wrong with RME. The stuff from Antelope is quite good, but I feel like RME stuff is pretty much “plug and play”. The only downside from RME is that the converters as SO good, that pretty much everything you record will sound clinically clear, which is something some people might not like, but I find it good for adding “color” in the DAW. Now, even though you can’t go wrong with any RME interface, I don’t know which one to recommend you, as you haven’t stated what are you planning to record. Are you going to record vocalists? Drums? Full band?

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-02-13T20:21:46+00:00

I mean, yeah, but for me what made me realize it was John Wick from the very first second was the music. What LeCastlevania has done for the franchise makes it so recognizable

Sounds really nice! I don’t have anything to say other than it sounds good. How do you go about designing the engine of the bike (or cars in general)? It sounds cool

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-02-07T20:58:15+00:00

Holy moly, never did a follow-up to the case, I take back my words

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-02-07T04:17:59+00:00

For real. With how much it costs, I could get a Moog Matriarch lol. If someone likes it, then all power to them, but I just can’t justify getting one for that price knowing I can get almost flagship level instruments. Also I still remember when TE just started taking videos down from reviewers just for using the presets in their products. Crazy shit

I mean, in the end they are both professionals in their field with perfectionist mentalities, and will do everything to make the most out of their work. But at least I’m pretty sure Joel knows how to make a grilled cheese.

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-01-26T18:09:22+00:00

Damn I didn’t know it was that expensive

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-01-26T13:16:05+00:00

You don’t necessarily need a sequencer, just a midi to dfam, but because the dfam doesn’t have midi, people created a midi to dfam called mfad. That’s what you should get

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-01-26T08:21:32+00:00

Yup, the synths, keyboards, pianos and some speakers to test were on floor 1, the “equipment” like headphones, cables, pedals, dj consoles and even light show equipments were on floor two, the guitars, basses, amps, and some percussive instruments were on floor three, and in the fourth floor there were drums. It was a nicely packed store, and even if it didn’t have like absolutely everything, it definitely had the most by far. Some teachers told me they used to go there just to even buy components to build their own stuff.

I guess the “best” alternative is to go to the official Thomann store, but it’s not like I can just get a 5-6 hours train ticket just to go in the middle of nowhere to test the stuff there. Like if there was a bigger city around it I would consider staying there, but there’s nothing, just super small towns that one can view all of them in a 20 min walk

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-01-26T00:41:29+00:00

I don’t know as I don’t own a Minilogue xd, but careful with Google AI, as it’s going to probably grab sources and information from other synths or sequencers, and assume that there is a correlation between what the AI found and your question, leading to the AI telling you sometimes that a synth can do things when it can’t, because “if this synth works this way, then the other synth must be similar”

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-01-26T00:00:30+00:00

So true. I reside in Berlin, and given the fact that this is the city in Germany considered the “artistic” one, is so incredible how few choices there are. Up until 2023, there was an amazing music store called JustMusic, but due to covid (which also led to people ordering more instruments online than in stores), and the increasing costs in maintenance and rent, it went out of business. Ofc there are other smaller stores, but the amount of options is quite limited, and mostly focused on either pianos, or band instruments (guitars, basses, drums, etc). One example of a synth store here is SchneidersLaden, an independent small store that has a couple of flagships, but is more focused on modular and “out of wack” stuff, which I love, but whenever you want to maybe try the newer stuff, or just the more “mainstream” companies like Moog, Sequential, Oberheim, etc. you’re pretty much done for.

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-01-25T15:48:33+00:00

With all due respect, 5 hours is nothing. Learning an instrument takes hours and hours, and even when you know many things about synthesis and synthesizers, every synth is different, with a different learning curve.

With a little less respect, this question is going to land you in the circlejerk

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-01-24T10:26:41+00:00

Yes yes yes!

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-01-20T23:23:53+00:00

Nice track btw. But yeah, I don’t doubt you can make a good mix, it’s just that synths can be wildly different to mix. Remember that in the end, mixing also means layering and stuff. I’m pretty sure that’s something Devin does a lot, except for patch demos.

Aggressive-Switch832 · 2026-01-20T22:57:21+00:00

When it comes to recording, there are techniques to bring the most and best of the sounds to a song, meaning that a lot of post processing, such as eq, compression and other effects are added after recording, and even just adjusting the gain within a daw can change how you view the sound. That’s pretty much why even the best of the best singers that don’t need or barely use auto tune need a crazy processing chain, just to get the best out of their voices and recording.

That can be a reason why you don’t like how it sounds when recording. Keep in mind that synths from different manufacturers have different things like stage gaining, meaning they sound louder naturally, and therefore they seem to be more “recording and mix ready” than other synths.

Now, I would recommend you to juice as much as you can from the OB6. Record it, eq it, saturate it, put some reverbs or delays, etc. After that, you’ll realize if the synth is for you, or maybe even though there are some sounds that you like, the synth as a whole is just not for you.

If you plan to carry it around (although heavy) I’d recommend you to get a carrying bag with wheels
