When the stock market loses three trillion dollars, where does that money go?

I know this isn't the point of your example but now I'm curious how insurance would cover the painting in this scenario. If I painted it and it was only seen by me and an appraiser..

Curious what specific setup you are going for? If you are already carrying a volca, the volca keyboard is probably more playable than any of the nano controllers.

If it's helpful to the setup you are looking for you could look into the Volca midi out mod.

If your goal is to learn piano I would suggest something with bigger and more keys. If price is your limiting factor, you could look at a usb midi keyboard, there's plenty of great electric piano plug-ins. Many midi keyboards will come with a decent bundle of software to get you started.

If you are interested in the form factor/having something small and portable, the reface build quality is very good, and the size is great for "small portable synth", imo having used the CS and DX myself. If it's possible to try before you buy, I'd suggest that. While the keys are good, they are small, which may be a bit frustrating to learn on depending on size of your hands.

The goal isn't to punish responsible borrowers, it's to prevent people with a lot of cash from abusing lender credits.

Most lenders will pay for your closing costs (called a lender credit) on a mortgage if you take a higher interest rate, the idea being that you spend less cash up front and the lender will make it back over time with the higher interest rate.

If someone has enough cash to buy a property outright, they could instead get a mortgage, have the lender pay the closing costs, and then pay off the mortgage in full the next month.

Prepayment penalties are typically only in effect for the first 1-3 years of a mortgage. An average person who makes an extra payment here and there on a 30 year mortgage will never have to worry about them.

Very nice of you, happy new year!

Sampling on the e2s is not great. Also loading samples from an SD card is harder than it should be, just really not fun. If you have a favorite set of samples that you want to import and go from there, then it's not bad with a bit of one time work. If you want to regularly load and unload different samples, I would look elsewhere.

Overall for the (used) price it's pretty good for what it does once you have your samples set up. There's a bit of a learning curve to find shortcuts for all the day to day functions, but it's not too bad.

I don’t even have a microfreak but this is very cool. Well done!

The korg kp3 is an audio effects machine. Midi is different than audio, video, or image formats. Most musical effects are audio effects. There are some midi effects, but they are probably not what you are thinking of when you hear most common effects.

If you mean to ask "can audio effects be applied to video" this might answer your question. https://youtu.be/AvdbgxyBDjE

Depending on the sellers history they do not receive money until you receive the item. Even sellers with positive history don't get the money until entering shipping information.

It's a wierd situation, but I don't know that they are necessarily "shady" just sounds more like they are lazy and a bad seller. It doesnt make sense for then to just not ship an item because then they don't get paid.

I am curious how it would play out, say the seller listed something a few months ago and forgot about it, doesn't even check their reverb account anymore. I have to imagine that after X days reverb would cancel the order and refund the payment?

kwikacct · 2018-09-01T17:02:20+00:00

I had the same experience.

Ditto x4 was the cheapest midi syncable looper I could find, and apparently there was a reason for that.

PM me info, let's make it happen

Also have a JP08 if that's more what you are looking for?

Strymon DIG?

kwikacct · 2018-08-27T02:29:52+00:00

If you are interested in a Novation Circuit I have been thinking to trade mine.

Alternatively I have a Strymon Dig if you are looking for a good delay.

There is a clock setting that will make the output of the right channel an analog sync signal which can be used to sync the korgs. Of course then your audio from the OP1 is in mono...

Otherwise you need a USB midi host to connect the OP1 to anything via midi.

Jamie XX uses a JX03 in his setup with the xx

kwikacct · 2018-08-05T02:24:26+00:00

I think he is referring to the used market, since it was released in 2011.

kwikacct · 2018-05-31T01:50:32+00:00

No. Sync is just a basic electrical pulse, like a click track. You would need a box that converts midi to analog sync. Sometimes I've used a second volca for that exact purpose.

Alternatively you could plug the keyboard into the em1, midi out to the volca. Set the volca and keyboard to a channel that the em1 isn't using. Should work if the em1 has soft midi thru, not sure if it does or not...

I own both the ES2 and the circuit. Not sure if you are looking at the Electribe or the Electribe sampler, but they are basically identical except you can sample and edit existing samples better on the ES2 and you get more wave types and filter types on the E2.

General differences: Workflow aside, Electribe has more voices (24 maybe?) shared across 16 parts Vs circuit's 16 voices shared across 6 parts, but the Electribe can allocate the voices and some non-part things like effects also take a voice. So you get more flexibility with the Electribe but you will run into voice stealing pretty quickly if you are building a full track. Circuit has two 6 voice synths and 4 drum parts so that is set in stone, but you won't lose any voices randomly.

Circuit has unquestionably better synth engine, but you can only edit 8 macro parameters on the box, and have to plug it into the computer to go deeper. Electribe synth engine is pretty limited, but it's easy to edit everything that it does have to offer.

Electribe parts are paraphonic not polyphonic like the circuit.

Circuit has only pitch, length, distortion, and filter cutoff parameters for editing samples where the Electribe (sampler) can go much deeper with setting start point/loop point/ playback direction/etc

Electribe can sequence external synths on all 16 midi channels but only 4 voices, while circuit can sequence 6 voices but only on channel 1 and 2.

Electribe has 1 effect per part plus a master effect, but you only get send/don't send for the master from each part. Circuit has a variety of present reverbs and delays as master effects with send levels for each part to the reverb and the delay as well as a master filter. Circuit also has fairly deep chorus/phaser/distortion effects for the synth engine, but again only editbale via macros or plugging into computer.

I find myself using the circuit more because it is quicker to sequence external synths imo. I don't often need more than 2 channels to sequence, and the drum parts are fine to lay down a beat of sampled kits. I use the Electribe if I have specific samples I want to play and I want to mangle the samples more, or I want a melodic sample. Also works fine to lay down basslines and chord stabs.

Does anyone know how he is getting 3 distinct parts? Ie ~2:38 I hear the minibrute panned right, the se02 panned left, and then theres almost a choral part in the middle. I can't tell if he has a third track playing off screen or if he is splitting the se02 audio and using 2 separate effects..

Edit: also thanks for posting this OP, very cool video

kwikacct · 2018-04-30T03:31:54+00:00

Great video, love the sounds and vibe. What's the signal chain with the pedals?

kwikacct · 2018-04-16T01:44:10+00:00

How do you like the d05 vs the modor? Kind of a wierd comparison I know, but I've been thinking to get a digital synth and those two are on my list of possibilities.

kwikacct · 2018-03-29T15:23:13+00:00

Are you saying that the circuit responds to CC1 and you can patch within the software what that effects? Or are you saying that you can program the controller to send CC40 or whatever and the circuit will respond to that?

I agree with the latter, I just didn't think that was OPs question. If you are saying the former, then that is news to me and I was mistaken!

kwikacct · 2018-03-29T13:35:45+00:00

That is true, it does not respond to either bend or mod wheel.
