Free Speech / Re: V7 Released?

« Last post by puremusic on Today at 09:59:13 pm »

I am waiting for the demos to download to test drive them. Since I'm still on Collection V, it may be worth it to me in the future to upgrade, though I'd likely wait for a $99 sale.

Mostly I'm in the collection for the CS80 and Piano V, which I paid a small fee to upgrade to V2. I'm still hoping someday it'll have poly aftertouch like the original. I'd pay for that upgrade fast!

Free Speech / Re: V7 Released?

« Last post by MajorFubar on Today at 09:36:45 pm »

Big change in policy here I notice: Analog Lab 4 does not contain all the factory presets for the three new instruments, unlike in the past, just a rather bland selection to tempt your wallet into buying V Collection 7. Presumably not enough people were buying the full V Collection because they were happy with being able to access all the instruments' factory presets using only Analog Lab. But not any more. There appears to be no change to legacy instruments' presets; you can still access them all. But equally that could be because I just happen to own VC6.

Their pricing structure is having a laugh as well: €199 as an existing-user upgrade price from VC6, and for that I get only three additional instruments. Yet a completely new buyer gets all 24 instruments currently for €299. That doesn't even make mathematical sense and is a big fat 'no thanks' from me.

Arturia fix the Keystep firmware please!!  It has been over 2 years since an update. Don’t abandon the product until you have it properly working.

MiniLab MKII Users Community / Re: ACTUALLY control LEDs from MIDI? not just Midi Control Center Software?

« Last post by mccrabney on Today at 01:13:57 pm »

thanks for the information, i'm curious as to where you found it.

however, this is in no way useful for midi feedback from DAW. i'm not going to write a sysex translator just to get basic LED functionality that comes out of the box in practically every Novation product

i'll be watching (without much hope) for a firmware update that brings this keyboard up to speed so i can stop cautioning others about its limitations when i see it recommended

MatrixBrute - Presets & Media / New Soundpack - 32 carefully selected presets for the Matrixbrute

« Last post by artElect on Today at 12:53:47 pm »

Hi folks.

I have created a Soundpack of 32 Patches for the MatrixBrute. All of them can be heard here: https://youtu.be/pdVlYi7-GNE
If you like what you hear, you can buy them on my site: https://www.arthurfussy.com/soundpacks

Every sound is carefully programmed and many of them make use of the modulation possibilities as Wheel, Aftertouch and the 4 rotary knobs...
Hope you like it.

Beatstep Pro - General Discussions / Transposing sequences? Is it quantized to clock?

« Last post by nygus on Today at 09:36:36 am »

Can I transpose sequences only on next note, because I thing my sequence is sometimes transposing in the middle of playing notes. Can I change this behaviour?

Origin Technical Issues / Re: LCD Backglight Failure (replacement options)

« Last post by DrJustice on Today at 02:16:07 am »

The display that I"m finding on eBay has the model number:  PVI PA050XS1 (LF).  Does the "LF" designation indicate that its not compatible with the Origin?

Thanks

Many of the displays in this family has the "(LF)" prefix. I've not been able to find out what its meaning is, but I son't think it's anything to worry about compatibility wise.

There's a nice overview of the variants of this LCD module panelook.com. You can get versions with LED backlight which should work, but you'd have to arrange the LED power of 11V (not available in the Origin, but could be added using a DC-DC converter).

BTW, you can get these for as little as around $16 here.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a "better" DAW for keyboardists?
