Rob was saying the UB-XA just sounds ok without effects. Good grief has he even really listened to it or does he have literal wax in his ears. Seriously. That synth sounds truly great. Listen to just the first 5 minutes of this demo kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp_OZIKGf85rpcU. Sounds great to me. I find that some people listen with their ears and some people listen with their anti Behringer bias.

I have been using ADAT digital I/O since 1997: never had clicks, pops or synching problems of any sort. You simply need good quality optical cables and connectors.

Questions for next time - most cost effective MPE keyboards to match with things like Pigments - Polybrute at £3,300 street is expensive (but 12 voices), OBXa - £1,000 but does it do polyaftertouch well enough, or Seaboard (bit more expensive) - must be others (any less than a grand)? Was great meeting Rob last week in Cambridge - the Polybrute 12 is beautiful (and smaller than I thought it would be). DJs dont know what they are doing - dynamics guys.

@@spitoondude8370Sure. I didn't like the Deluxe when I tried it but it is a great synth. Maybe the newish Korg midi keyboard will do. Or when Arturia decide to make midi keys like on PolyBrute 12. No way I can afford the PB12, sadly.

I got a Launchpad-X to get into MPE. Second hand for $150aud. Certainly not the 'keys experience' but it does the job.

Thank you Gaz for recognizing Miquette's contribution. I saw her with Steve 79/80 and her introducing her (probably ARP) sequencer. Without her there would be no System7, in many ways she is more central than Steve.

Someone ask Yoad when is he going to let Waves make a channel strip based on his desk? Those Neve 5000 series EQs are just gold, and the Dynamics is a unique one knob system with super smooth compression!

I don’t like effects on my synth. While I typed that out I realized I love the chorus on the Juno-60 but it still stands for reverb and delay.

Aye, the broadcast sound at Glastonbury festival was lacking this year as was the choice of headliners. Saying that I'm positive the smaller stages smashed it as per.

The sound issue is a prevailing one currently and largely to do with the current speaker line arrays. The previous midrange speakers have been largely replaced with subs, so there’s a TON of bass, and a sharp highs shelf but a huge missing middle. Sadly the reliance of analysis by the system rather than by ear means it’s not getting corrected/adjusted for mid-gig. Seems to be the norm this year

The thing I don't like with the catering shelves is the synth feet always catch in the grid. Consider putting down some thin ply or plastic sheet or something if you use those.

@crunchyfrog555Ай бұрын
Maybe part of the reason the sound was so off was down to peple like Dua Lipa on at least some songs, miming entirely to their records? Don't know what I'm talking about? Clearly demonstrated on Wings of Pegasus's channel.
@sonicstateАй бұрын
I think that's the risk with high pop at festivals. Dua Lipa puts on a short for sure and I don't think Wings Of Pegasus said she was entirely miming. But that there were supporting vocals throughout.

39:02 - 2i2 Nick - have you tried the Gen 4 Scarlett range? Excellent vastly-upgraded audio quality, encoders for the input gains now, it's a far better prospect. Loving mine. All this about ADAT being old-skool - I love ADAT. Project studio, the RME Digiface USB is just wonderful. Shout out the the Creamware SCOPE system Yoad! Sonic Core still going, rising from the ashes of Creamware. SCOPE v7 software release a couple of years ago that you can buy, that runs on the old PCI cards, and on their 1U Xite-1 hardware platform that you can also buy, with a fully-featured SDK... The sound quality of Ocean Swift, John Bowen, and Adern devices today in 2024 on SCOPE remains stellar. The depth and width of the sound... Heck, FXpansion, Brainworx and Relab developers all started building devices on SCOPE. Sucked in by the promises of VST - and heck, they backed the right horse... Still - "from my cold, dead hands", prize the SCOPE PCI cards running in an old computer here from me.

NI 61 MKiii is £849 with their komplete basic pack if its just a controller you need and has better looks and controls than the Korg an way better keybed than any of the Hydra models. I'd kill for Hydra Deluxe with a better quality keybed. The instrument chassis may be sturdy enough, but very clunky keybed. The Korg may be ok if they used a Fatar bed, but I don't think threy spcified what keybed it uses. Aparently they use Fatar beds in their Pa5 which is very sturdy build but only standard AT on those and cost an arm and a leg, a kidney and your 1st born.
