Re: Subsquent 37 Yellow keys too?

I have two, one is a few years old, the other is fairly new. Both are very white. My understanding is that keyboards turn yellow when they are overly protected from sunlight and/or UV, or just kept in a dark room. For example, a piano kept in a dark room, or with the keyboard cover normally closed, ...

Don't apologize. I appreciate your post. It's just that as an analog synth player of 34 years, I am horribly frustrated that I can't find an instrument-quality voltage-controlled joystick at all. What I need is one of very high quality, since I use the pitch bender constantly in my playing, and use ...

You have the option of a Voyager. I have no options whatsoever, and a touchsurface would not help in the least. I think they would be further ahead building the XYA touchsurface so that RME, LP, and OS owners can benefit from having that awesome voyager feature, and so that RME and OS owners can ben...

My Atari 2600 controllers generate simple static "analog" voltages, but they don't have pots. And the voltages are not continuosly variable, but are static. The controllers are also too small to contain pots of any quality. Moog has long needed to offer a joystick alternative. The controll...

I'm still without a controller. I don't have the technical expertise to build one, and none of the European modular company reps will return any of my e-mails requesting advice.

On Morning Sun, and on many other of George's earlier sounds, there's a Mutron phase shifter. That was a huge part of the awesome Don't Let Go sounds.

I did enjoy listening to this and your other tunes. Of those you have at Reverbnation, it's my favorite, I think because I like the melody, and the way you articulate it with tonal and pitch inflection. You are very good indeed with the Voyager, and with the way you construct tunes around its capabi...

The Rack Mount produces stepping artifacts (and in my experience, other weird artifacts) when bending pitch with a midi controller, and therefore falls far short of an OS sonically speaking. Despite this critical problem, the RME is still a great "mostly analog" synth, and many of us are h...

I apologize in advance for going somewhat off-topic, but this is related to echo... I'd like to share a trick I learned from Jan Hammer. Most people place the echo last in their sound chain. What Hammer did with his Minimoog early on was to place the echo not after, but before his other effects. For...

I always wondered why the Voyager didn't simply smooth the bend. The solution sounds simple - like applying a glide with a very fast response to the bend. If a glide can sound smooth, why not a bend? I am disappointed that synth manufacturers don't seem to think printing such specifications are impo...

Best to you and yours boose. http://danling.com/HotLinks/misc/RME%26Triton.wav What you hear are a minor third (3 semitones) glissando (using glide/portamento) followed by a pitchbend of the same frequency. Then both the glide and bend are repeated an octave higher. The problem seems to be only with...

I don't think you can improve on the look. Or the sound!

A joystick option would be nice though :wink:

When I reduce the attenuation of the pedal with the pedal pot, the distortion disappears. This gives me hope that with an analog joystick I can get closer to that clean sound I seek. However, I still get weird sounds when turning the filter cutoff frequency. Especially toward the bottom of the cutto...
