Maybe use a graphics program and invert the image?

I agree with stiiiiiiive - keep it simple!

Have you recorded anything else into your interface? I'm thinking 1/4" to 1/4" will be the best way to start. Step one - try a different cable!

Another question - can you get clean sound out of your theremin into an amp or headphones? Go carefully and ...

I love using the Grandmother as a faux bass pedal synth:

Also love how distorted bass interacts with creamy Moog goodness...

(it was actually harder to overdub the Moog than I expected - I had a general recollection of what I was hearing harmonically ...

Do you have another synth to try with the jx/k25m ? Either that or try hooking it up to a midi monitor ( like midiox)to see what its sending.


I did try it with my Grandmother and that didn't work either. I think a MIDI monitor is beyond me! It's no longer urgent, but I would like to know - or ...

Have you set the Sirin to receive on the same MIDI channel that the keyboard is transmitting ?

For devices that only have USB power you can plug them into a usb power adapter when you don't want power them from a computer.


Thank you, yes, both are set to channel 1 - the Sirin is receiving MIDI ...

Update: tried - failed

I just want a small keyboard that can control the Sirin via MIDI, and also be powered off of a power adaptor. I actually don't need many options at all, but want to be able to power the keyboard off of a power adapter, not by a computer via USB.

I realized something - it may be related to the fact that I'm also using the Roland K-25m keyboard - so the keyboard isn't triggering the Sirin directly, it's triggering the Roland synth, which is then sending some kind of MIDI message to the Sirin. I need to experiment with using the "numerical ...

I am trying to use my Roland Boutique JX-08 as a MIDI controller to play notes on my Moog Sirin (basically a Minitaur). The Sirin shows MIDI signal is coming (note on/off) but nothing plays. I know the Sirin works because I put it in drone mode, and was able to control it with my PK-5A bass pedals ...

Is this a good time for this pic?

I hate to say it, but I sold my LP. However, it was for a Moog cause - I got the Sound Studio 2 bundle with DFAM and Subharmonicon. I had earlier traded my Micro for a Sirin (which I still have), which meant I no longer had a Moog keyboard. Fortunately, a Grandmother Dark joined my stable and I ...

Hey, a couple of nights ago, I dreamt I was playing bass pedals. I kind of liked it :)


Don't get me wrong - bass pedals changed my life! But I'm just a bassist playing with a drummer and very little other harmonic information - with bass pedals, all of a sudden another voice becomes available ...

Well, you'll have to convince our friend TahuluLimIA...

How did I miss that?!! I thought it kinda came out of the blue...

To me, as a former T3 owner (see my avatar) and current Roland PK-5A/McMillen 12-step, one of the key issues is for the keys to be easily playable. I can't stand the 12-step - it just does not work for me - way too easy to hit a wrong note (I have somewhat wide feet which is a factor). I actually ...

A couple of years ago I bought the Moog Sound Studio with DFAM & Subharmonicon (glad I got it when I did since they are no longer available). I recently decided I'd like to have 2 DFAMs in the rack instead (still keeping the SubH) - it arrived yesterday and I got to work!

I couldn't find the ...

I got one - it didn't make any sound but put out an awful stench - didn't realize I got the "silent but deadly" version
