A synthesizer is not a piano. A synthesizer does not need to be polyphonic, it does not need to be touch-sensitive, it does not need to have weighted action. All of those things are fine, but they are foreign to the original concept of the synthesizer, and only became desireable whe people wanted a...

The Reactable looks like fun as well, I don't know how it works. The program photosounder is more like using a coordinate plane (y-axis is frequency, x is time) to graph sounds, as an example on can load a picture into the program and play it (fractals sound great, due to the math, i assume), or one...

Hello, I stumbled upon an interesting, and very entertaining synthesizer program called photosounder, the program uses pictures to play different frequencies, it also allows one to "draw" sounds, i highly recommend you play with the program, as it can be used to create some interesting sou...

Thank you for your reply, i will research the difference between the roland pads, and my yamaha pads, I have a midi converter, however i want to use midi from another keyboard to select the notes, while splitting the signal from the pad to trigger the envelope.

I have an electronic drum set, and would love to be able to trigger my phatty using one of the pads. I tried plugging the pad directly into the gate input, this resulted in an open gate. i would like to know, has anyone tried building a converter, and are the TRS connections on the gate different th...

Hello everybody, i have an old yamaha organ, which over the past two years has been losing functionality at an alarming rate, it has reached a point where the organ is no longer playable, (when i play more than one note the volume disappears, then fades back in, lower keyboard does not work at all) ...

Mine has a mind of its own, so i call it HAL

I had the same problem occur on my synth a few months ago, i called moog, they sent me a new board, it was very easy to replace, a few screws and plugs. If your synth is not under warranty the board is only about $80. to resolve your problem call moog (800)948-1990

My OS is 2.1, and i have performed a factory reset. Amos, i measured 0V AC, and .1mV DC, i don't usually plug directly into the wall, but i tried it, alas, my phatty was not cured. Thank you both for your quick replies. [edit] My synth and PA were plugged into different outlets, upon plugging them i...

Some time ago my phatty began misbehaving, the panel is always active and the position of the knob indicator light flutters about, I used to have the analog control set to track, but this resulted in tracking to the position of the knob, even when the the knob is untouched. when i change to a new pr...

I am new to electronics, and this forum, but my idea for cv implementation on an effect pedal, such as a wah, is simple, just replace the pot with a vactrol, which receives the control voltage. I have yet to try it, but i too have been thinking about adding cv to my wah, as well as a switch for mult...
