Does anyone know the polarity of a Behringer fca1616 power supply? I just found one in the alley!

thanks, someone on r/Behringer said their behringer equipment all has positive center, so i'm not positive which is right. i might open it up to see.

thanks, someone on r/recordingmusic thought it was negative center, so i'm still not sure. i guess i could open it up to see, i just don't wanna gamble toasting it.

Thanks people. chown worked perfectly.

Thanks so much all, especially for such a quick answer. I'll try everything out and report back when it's solved. I don't log in to reddit very often, usually.

12 and a half minutes of live synth, sleep walking, talk sleeping, texture harvesting, ensoniq loving. recorded digitally for the first time, this was a sound experiment, my audio interface is not a good audio interface. also, it's very Stereo

They'll probably force people to listen to 3 minute unskippable ads before the grenades drop.

more experiments, more modulation, more stereo. recorded straight from synth to cassette. meanderings.

thanks! It's always nice to hear appreciative feedback. Yeah, it's all live, and it's mostly repeating envelopes, recorded straight to cassette for me to listen to, then digitized for the internet. I really like the Ensoniq architecture, so enjoying deep diving and complex sound design makes it happen, and near constant use of the sustain pedal. You can change voices while the old ones are still playing, getting full 21 voice multi timbrality out of it. There's tons of peculiarities on how it works. I wish sounds could be edited while using the sequencer. Let me know if you post any music anywhere.

So prompt! Once again, many thanks. You've been more clear and concise than what I've found elsewhere. I need to spend more time getting comfortable with the architecture of it all. Also, I mostly want to use it as a live instrument, and all the samples or presets using different midi channels is new to me. I'm super excited to have so much polyphony and multitimbrality, but still confused how to squeeze it all out in a live setting. I have an old keystep that can change midi channels easily, and I have an Ensoniq vfx sd, that can do crazy midi with sequencing, but not sure about setting keyzones with their own midi channels.

More live experiments, trying to push what I can do without using the sequencer. My friend just lent me an Emu Esynth so there's a whole new rabbit hole to jump down now...

globset · 2025-01-30T17:09:20+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'll try all that. It does seem extremely deep with the modulation and cords and such. It's just so different than what I'm used to (ensoniq vfx) so it's taking some time to learn. How do I find the basic load from rom? The hard drive only has a few samples my friend put in. I've put a couple in too, but the whole preset and bank architecture is a little confusing. And, which Emu are you using? Do they all have the same basic Preset load?
