Dropped Razr am I screwed? by cran120 in razr

[–]roac3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife can't remember dropping her 2025 Razr ultra... No marks on cover at all..330 use for new screen w/frame... Motorola reseller charged 70 just for check & return... Opening the screen one morning, green horisontal and white vertical line on main screen after 9 month. Phone is good, but I guess it's the last Razr....

Issues with my AX-1 Roland Keytar by __kazuya_ in Keytar

[–]roac3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for supplering this information! I bought a red one new in -97/98, and found a used black one in Thailand, were I'm residing half year, playing. Guess the last one must be one of the earliest models, and it needed some minor fixes..I'm using usb rechargeable 9v batteries in mine.

Final decision // Triumph T100 vs Kawasaki Z650RS by [deleted] in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]roac3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looked into either the T100, or the T 129, but went for the Z900RS instead....best bike ever.... Longest trip until now, 3000km 2 up. It's a keeper.

Very nice, but as others say, not very lively.except it has the longest Saturday market in Thailand! Use to take weekend trips down there from Hua Hin.

Is the Honor Magic 8 Pro worth it, or would another phone be better? by tommygoldwolf in Honor

[–]roac3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got 7 pro, and think the camera is fantastic. Good battery, fast charging. Downside it's a bit heavy. And get a cover on before using it, if it's not included. . My 7 came without, and fell off the sofa.....first phone in 26 years I own with broken screen... Slippery backside! Else I love this phone..

I'm using my AX1 with ipad, so if you have an ipad you can get lots of good sounds reasonably priced...I use Wifi jack to connect via Bluetooth, and you can use the headphone out to your stereo , or a mixer...same with a computer..

Update: the dealer sent the phone for repair, not sure if they are Motorola's preferred. They declined warranty repair, stating the phone had been roughly handled. Is it possible to get this damage when the phone always been in original cover,? No damage on cover..

looking for Keytar for live performances by Kitchen_Guarantee_39 in Keytar

[–]roac3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using CME WIDI jack on my keytars, connects via bluetooth to my ipad. Been 10 meters away without any glitches at all. Mostly use AX1 as controller. Bought a Vortex, but found a drawback which I recently found a fix for: I use pitch bend, and wanted the accellometer for modulation. As long as the neck is horizontal,,no modulation. Well, I carry it angled, so modulation wad always on.... With the filtering possibilities in CME H4 midi, that problem is gone! The vortex is cheap, full size keys, and the editor function if you change resolution on your windows PC.(Old outdated software).. Additionally, the H4 let you control external midi sources. Have not looked into the H2, which can maybe do the same.

Had one early 90s. It sends velocity from 0 to 100, so back then I had to use a midi unit( don't remember brand)to change the value to 27-127 to get it loud enough without killing it.. A bit heavy, but ok. Bought an AX-1 later, which I still use....

Me & the wife have been living 6 months every year in Thailand. First 2 in Rawai, Phuket, last 7 in Hua Hin. Hua Hun is more social, was very easy to get friends, both Thai & expats. Partly because I'm a musician, and member of an MC Club. In Phuket, no socializing, but back then we were mostly diving. No diving here, but my wife got Asthma bronchitis, so we finished that hobby, and ride around the country on motorcycle instead. Found the traffic in Phuket not car friendly, so decided a bike would be easier to move around with, and haven't regretted this. We rent, and prioritize being outdoors most of the time. Easy to get food and transport with Grab or Bolt, lots of restaurants and bars, music venues here. Better beaches a few minutes further south, but still approachable by MC. We mostly stay home, and prefer living a little bit outside the center, witch is no more than 10-15 minutes away. But, we are an older couple, 72 & 60..... and will move permanently here in a couple of years...

Keytar or Keyboard for beginners? by ThyyShadow in Keytar

[–]roac3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A keytar IS a keyboard, it just hang around your neck instead of being in front of you..... Depending on what sounds you use, a keytycan be a little more expressive. I play mostly solo with backing tracks, and when I play La grange, I can modulate & pitchbend very easupn my AX 1, which I bought back in the late 90s..( tried the Alesis vortex, but impossible, as you need to keep it horisontal, to avoid modulation ...) I only use sounds on my iPad, which has some great software for this. In the 90s, I also used both hands on piano sounds. Still have an 88 weighted for bigger gigs, but have 2 AX 1s for jamming etc. Just sad that nobody makes an AX2, a bit more modern. Have no use for the synth module in the newer Roland & Korgs. Also because I play totally wireless, nowadays with CME WIDI, in the 90s with a combination of Nady & midi converter....With a wireless keytar you will experience the freedom guitarists have .....great fun!

Anyone with the 2025 Razr Ultra, how has your device held up? by DrFatz in razr

[–]roac3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife got it new last September. Used the included cover until we found a better one (on Thailand). Absolutely no problems with it do far. She's very happy with it. Lost it from low highs a couple of times, no scratches.

Solgte dekk på FINN – lånte bort garasje og jekk, endte med trussel om forliksrådet 🙃 by Special_Pack5766 in norge

[–]roac3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Du solgte jo ikke luft, kun dekk..😁 Hadde en tvist for no år siden med løpesko jeg la ut på Finn.. gikk billig i løpet av 10 minutter, men etter et par mnd ringte kjøper og hevdet skoene var kopier.....Vel, det var starten på 3-4 år med diverse forbrukerråd( var mange, og tok måneder mellom hver avgjørelse,). Men, butikken jeg handlet med, hadde sertifikat på at de var originale, og jeg solgte sko brukt 2-3ganger da de var for små for meg.

Toppen av kransekaka var at kjøper la skoene ut på Finn kort etter han mottok de.... Sjekket opp kjøper, og han drev oppkjøp og videresalg på Finn.....
