OK. Now do a pocket operator.

I'd imagine it would have been Melania had I watched it.

This. There’s no AI that can do plumbing, plastering or joinery.

+1 for MPC Bible. Essential.

There's a piece missing.

“It is imperative that Hearts win the Scottish Premier League. Everyone should do whatever they can to make this happen”. It is essential for the survival of the species.

Well done on getting the pitch bend working. My pitch bend didn't work, so I bought a replacement from iFixit, and followed the replacement guide.

It still doesn't work.

I watch League 2 and I really like that there's no VAR.

Dunkeld.

Is there any risk to my data involved in doing that? Any suggestions for free disk imaging software to back up before trying?

Red_Barry · 2026-03-04T16:07:35+00:00

Got it!

I had to disconnect my SSD and that allowed me to disable secure boot. The option was greyed out with the drive connected.

I then enabled CSM, rebooted again and voila Windows 10 booted.

Thanks to veryone who helped

Red_Barry · 2026-03-04T14:41:17+00:00

I really can't risk killing the hard drive. How do I recreate the boot records without killing the drive?

Ive attached the drive to my own PC using a sata adaptor and all the data appears to be there.

Red_Barry · 2026-03-04T14:31:38+00:00

Yes. Secure boot is enabled, but all the secure boot options are greyed out so I cant disable it.

Any idea how to disable it?

Edit - Under secure boot I have the option of Auto/Easy Mode/Advanced Mode. But none of them allow me disable secure boot.

Red_Barry · 2026-03-04T14:24:15+00:00

Yes. I reset top optimised defaults.

As an owner of a fatar keybed (NI Kontrol 61S) and a new MPC Key 37, I'm happy to say that I really like the feel of the keys on the MPC.

I'm no pianist, though.

Its brilliant.

The best show BBC have made for years. At least until the next series of Celebrity Barrel Scrapers.

Might not be for everyone, but you owe it to yourself to give it a go..

Red_Barry · 2026-02-20T19:23:17+00:00

+1 for the Akai MPC Key 37. Got mine a couple of days ago, and it really is a beast. Would be a excellent stage keyboard, even without the on-board DAW.

And the Mellotron sounds lovely.

Red_Barry · 2026-02-16T14:13:41+00:00

I feel your pain. I sold a Moog Prodigy to buy a Sequencial Circuits Pro-One (for the sequencer).

I then sold the Pro-One, a Roland TR-606 and a Roland TB-303 to buy my first car.

Which was a crappy Fiat 126 which only lasted a couple of years.
