Sorry - complete numpty question about synthesizers

[The Elf]

Glad you have something that's working for you. I still take a sharp breath when someone says that they're not a keyboard player so mini-keys are good for them. I actually think that mini-keys make things more difficult for non-players, but to each their own.

Take your time getting to know it, and yes, we're always here if you find yourself head-scratching.

Sorry Elf I wasn’t clear.

I was trying to say I’m getting a lot out of it despite the mini keys. It’s more that ‘synthesis for dummies’ architecture works for me at this point.

The keys - well they are horrible. I’ve been learning basic keyboard skills on a Roland V-combo VR so could use that as a master keyboard. But that’s not what this project is about.

I’ll be back with lots of questions

As usual, the SOS Review tells you all the stuff that the manual doesn’t.

Well worth a read.

Thank you - I should probably have read this before bidding

Actually it wouldn’t have changed anything, it’s a good review. And the hack to create 8 bar patterns is going to be useful.

Yep, that’s her and very impressive too.

Wow, it certainly is, and she manages so much variety using that looper - a real skill in itself!
