Had a few, both simple SATA USB cable and one of the vertical docks, both worked fine. Ones that support USB SCSI? mode are supposedly faster but probably won't matter for IDE.

Not long enough in your application but I find the IKEA ones to be the best value.

Saw announcement of the price cuts on FB, if only I had the dosh!

Dependant on what's required would an X32 and some sort of MIDI controller work, MIDI CC#'s work for level control and program change messages for scenes (plus there's a load of other things you can control). Gives you a good way of giving restricted access without them even needing to touch the mai...

Another new announcement of an already teased synth, MS-5 final beta going to testers and then straight into production. https://scontent.fbrs4-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/335935383_195780916417212_1658309346990649201_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=oxdmN3NzM-UAX_weHGC...

Yes that is fine, you have to be careful with wire size on some 5A rated IEC leads but given the short length even that shouldn't be an issue.

And now a 49 key (so DM12 size) 8 voice Juno6/60 clone, the Neptune 80. No idea of release schedule but a working prototype exists at least. So, for years you guys have been urging us to build one of the most sought after synth. We managed to resist for a long time, but we finally gave in;-) Here is...

And on the repair front Behringer are actually helping by reissuing some of the old unobtanium chips. Behringer really use nothing special in their synths, either using their own reissued/cloned analogue IC's or where that is not economical their products use discrete component solutions that don't ...

Looking at the manual there is a few ways to back it up but they all appear to be in VS specific formats, there is however this software that allows you to convert the Roland specific audio files into wave files, you do need to get the HDD out of the VS or copy them to a SCSI drive. http://www.thego...

I think this vintage recreation thing is getting a bit boring for a lot of people, and, it’s a finite market. And, those with deep pockets won’t be interested in this stuff, let’s face it, if you’ve got the money, you’d get an original, and you’d not worry about upkeep. Look into any famous players...

I wouldn't trust chinesium sockets and I bet they don't too, also UK sockets are polarised so probably safer in a test environment.
