Members ElectricPuppy Posted September 15, 2007 Members Share Posted September 15, 2007 Isn't that the one they stopped making? I'll blame 9-11 for this travesty and feel better about it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Allerian Posted September 15, 2007 Members Share Posted September 15, 2007 Top one is new to me. Nice! I need another one of those.Man, that poor headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CTB Posted September 15, 2007 Members Share Posted September 15, 2007 Puppy: Yes, they canned the UM-880 some time ago (as well as the 550).Allerian: Yeah, that headset didn't fare well. It was a crappy little thing for sound, but the pads seemed to turn to dust on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Audacity Works Posted September 15, 2007 Members Share Posted September 15, 2007 Logic Pro 8 should be in tomorrow.Unfortunately, it won't work with my main rig until November or so (Logic 8 TDM requires ProTools 7.4). Time to bump this laptop up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khazul Posted September 15, 2007 Members Share Posted September 15, 2007 Top one is new to me. Does the driver support two of those? I have one allready and been thinking of getting a couple of MOTU ATP as you can connect them togther to make a single cross routable 16+16 midi interface.

Members pix Posted September 15, 2007 Members Share Posted September 15, 2007 Wasn't planning on buying another synth, but this popped up on my local auction site, and I couldn't help myself, it was around US$530 in the end.. Never heard one, but it sure looks interesting, and the minimal info available on the web suggests its a great machine, built by Kawai with ARP parts. i love it!!!mine had osc2 screwed up but even then it was a great synthesizer. Square PWM sounds amazingly good and the filter is great too. Nice catch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one allready and been thinking of getting a couple of MOTU ATP as you can connect them togther to make a single cross routable 16+16 midi interface. Honestly, I don't know as at the moment, I only use them as a computer-free patchbay. Manual's online - maybe it'll help, though with a quick glance I didn't see the answer to your question. http://www.roland.com/products/en/_support/om.cfm?ln=en&dsp=0&iCncd=506 EDIT: I hooked up both the UM's to my computer (Windows XP), and it appears that it can handle multiple units. Here is a screen dump from Midi-Ox: That's about as far as I can check at this point, though - I'm not yet set up for sequencing, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khazul Posted September 15, 2007 Members Share Posted September 15, 2007 I just never remembered seeing anything about supporting multiple units it in the manual or on the roland site. If it works - cool Might get another myself then and cross link a couple of ports to get clocks from one to the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CTB Posted September 15, 2007 Members Share Posted September 15, 2007 The Roland archives say that up to 4 can be connected, but the SOS article from Aug 2002 indicates that there was initially a problem with WinXP handling that - 98 and 2000 were fine, but not XP. Perhaps they fixed that, based on what I'm seeing. But again, I have not tried fully doing what you want to do, Khaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square PWM sounds amazingly good and the filter is great too. Nice catch! Mine had a couple of scratchy pots on the filterbank section, which have become clean after 20 full turns or so, now everything works perfectly, and there are no issues. This synth has actually exceeded my expectations, it sounds fantastic!! I love that it has cross-mod / ring-mod and pink noise. The fixed filterbank is really cool sounding too. I'll try to post some demos when I get round to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khazul Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 Just got hold of a couple of second hand outboard boxes that I have been after for ages off some guy whos flogging off all his hardware dbx 1066 gate/compressor/limiter - very useful insert and program compressor - great for shaping drums tracks and gentle mix pumpingSPL Charisma 8 - 8 channels of gentle to grimey tube abuse - great for subtle warming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rockin*Gio Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 I've been scouring the internet for years looking for a Roland A-110 MIDI Display and last week two of them show up on eBay!! The one I got was in near mint condition . . . but this picture was a little bigger. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Purity_Control Posted September 18, 2007 Members Share Posted September 18, 2007 My memtron has come today! First impressions - well for one thing the build quality and finish on this is like nothing i've ever seen before... i thought some of the older korg gear i've owned was robust, but this is built to survive ww3, weighs in around 20lbs, not sure what the finish is but it's uber white and uber shiny! The sounds i've hear from it so far are pretty good... the 'vintage' sample cd it comes with is pretty limited (i still have the 'berlin school' one to play with later) but some of the classic sounds on there are hot. If i get chance through the day, i'll put a few short demos up later on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members akliner Posted September 18, 2007 Members Share Posted September 18, 2007 My memtron has come today! Can I ask how much it ran you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Purity_Control Posted September 18, 2007 Members Share Posted September 18, 2007 A lot! Though i think with it being german(?) made, it works out about the same in the US as the UK (which is to say, much more expensive than most gear in the US) If you're interested, pm me and i can let you know the guy in germany i got it from, he did me as nice a price as you're ever going to get on one for now. I've opened a new thread for the try out sounds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LameAim Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 Ordered Logic Studio, won't install right. Parts of the install keep turning out errors. I think some of my discs are bad. Currently searching the web for answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
