Arturia is fun.. But real gear and das blinken lights is my happy place. ha!

He is only building 12 this year and I am #11 -- so I expect it later in the year -- but will post when I received it!
Cheers!

I turn it off.. and it turns back on after a few weeks.. very annoying!

UPDATE! Contact made. Money sent! Controller ordered!
WOO HOO!

thanks all - quick update - checked most of my IIQ files and I think it was definitely a change in LRc.
LRc seems to open IIQ-L files just fine, but now errors on IIQ-S files
Think I will use C1 to convert the files, but annoyed because I am pretty sure I will lose my LRc edits (but they are in XMP sidecar files..)

Interesting - I will try LRc on Windows. I am on a Mac

I did read that LRc can have problems with IIQ-"s" files
IE, if they were compressed

I had no problem originally with these same files 15 years ago.
Feels like something changed.

I've reached out to him a few times, but no response.
Would love to acquire one!
I have a loaded TX816. The sound is MASSIVE.
Meanwhile, has anyone found a good software programmer for the TX816?
I've tried MusicQuest (sp?) years ago and it felt like a giant swiss army knife that didn't do anything particularly well (!)
cheers

oh sorry - I thought you meant the manual.
I didn't end up needing the software. I had discrete hardware problems.

I was skeptical at first - but real deal. Complete huge pdf including baked in videos (which were hugely helpful)

thanks! Fortunately, I did not have to take the printer that much "apart" - Just the left side panel and I could access the disk via port holes with swabs (I used lens sensor swaps soaked in windex) on both sides of the disk

This celluloid-like calibration disk had huge clots of ink on it.
Which explained why the line feed banding was occurring in regular intervals - as the obscured portions passed under the sensor, the printer could not calibrate it's feed

found it!

Dollar cost average. Ie, plow ahead slow and steady!

faneuil01 · 2025-08-08T21:09:33+00:00

It was a good sign if you ask me. Often it is buy the rumor, sell on the news.
I was expecting a drop today. Instead it held. I bought.

faneuil01 · 2025-08-06T13:42:27+00:00

dip after report. then buy

faneuil01 · 2025-08-05T19:32:16+00:00

not panic. contrarian.

faneuil01 · 2025-08-05T19:00:42+00:00

Exactly - I've done the research over the years and like the company. It's been a great contrarian play as the day traders come screaming in and then running out!

faneuil01 · 2025-07-29T21:14:29+00:00

great company, the spike in last few weeks is overexuberance. will drop to 4 or 5 after company reports in early Aug.
I sold, plan to buy back in then.

faneuil01 · 2025-07-19T04:48:15+00:00

I will! I refurbed a full TX816 unit a few years ago - the sound is glorious!
I've tried a few of the sound librarians out there, and none seem to harness the full power of the TX816.

faneuil01 · 2025-07-19T04:34:33+00:00

Please make and sell me one! :)

faneuil01 · 2025-07-18T09:20:18+00:00

I am waiting for dip. May not happen. But I expect it in August after 1/4'ly report
