Saw this at Synthfest...

Hmmm... It clearly has a limited field of view, which might account for the limitation to a 49-key Rise. Any idea of it being of value to learners doesn't hold water if you are limited to 4 octaves of squidgy keyboard. The price looks OK. When Roli find out to use a Windows compiler I'll take ...

MiniMoog on the Bjooks stand was mine, BTW... Beautiful and very well maintained by the looks of it as I peered around it. It has a smattering of mods (modern fuse holder, V-gate input, knobbly wheels), and it suffered some accidental damage a few years ago that required repairs to the woodwork ...

Definitely worth a try for that money. Best of luck.

Fabulous synth. You won't regret it!

...or strong enough!

It's a lot of years since I last gigged a MiniMoog, and it's definitely become twice the weight it used to be! Ouch!

So good to meet with everyone and share stories. I learned soooo much this year.

The Digitech RP series often go for low prices secondhand, and are far better then most people seem to give them credit for.

The RP-500 might suit the job, as long as the loop length of 20 seconds is sufficient for you.

Thanks everyone. I purchased the Behringer XR18. I have this myself. It's excellent as long as you are happy with the remote facilities it offers/imposes. ...and it also offers networked personal monitoring. I'd hate to be without that now.

Haven't read this whole thread, but just thought I'd add the advice to consider what monitoring facilities any new mixer offers. The ability to add multiple personal mixers would play a huge part in any choice of mixer I'd make.

But for the ITB advocates I'm curious how you handle scenarios like having two sets of.monitors plus headphones and wanting to easily control levels and possibly EQ for these. TotalMix, in my case. But I don't mess around with EQ while tracking. Artists each have their own basic EQ on their ...

Can't help with Reaper, but maybe this video will show how useful a single fader device can be. The Alphatrack remains my all time favourite DAW controller device.

If this video doesn't help then try a search for others like it.

Put me in the 'been there, done that; more trouble than it's worth' camp.

I'm parted from my K2700 for a few weeks, so can't recreate the patching for you, but essentially you can assign the sliders and knobs to whatever you want, so I forsee no problem with what you want.

BUT...

As I said, I can't test it for you at the moment.

Behringer certainly don’t always get the aesthetics right, especially the basic ratio of keyboard size to control panel size. Sometimes they just look like a mini-me version of the cloned original tacked onto a keyboard. I guess they are trying to save them and us money by not adding the kind of s ...

Try a de-esser and/or a dynamic EQ, tuned to something in the hi-hat you can isolate, at least to some extent. If you have a dedicated hi-hat mic, or even use the spill from the snare/rack tom, you may be able to utilise it as a side-chain signal to the de-esser/EQ.

Allow me a moment's indulgence that I have been at a large gig where one of my mixes was played pre-show, much to my amazement! Surreal, to say the least...

Balanced outputs? really? didn’t know that. It's always worth checking. Many synths do have balanced outputs. As I said, I doubt that's the issue here, but it's one variable to explore. I'm not an electronics expert by any means, but I’ve managed to find a schematic and "from what I can make out" th ...

The little 'up/right' arrow by the last poster's name used to take me to the last post in a thread. Now it doesn't. It's been like this for a few weeks, but it shows no sign of being resolved, so maybe only I'm seeing it?

Throw that reed organ part at me - I'll make it sound organic.
