That just looks like it has been reworked at some point, rather than it blowing there. I mean it might as it has clearly happened once before, but I wouldn't assume it was there unless you have checked and found it is. But then if it is, seems a simple enough fault to fix

Well, maybe he was no good for the music. I saw Pino with NiN and it really didn't work for me

Im pretty sure Good Times would be, as it is the most reused and sampled bassline!

Whatever the A/D latency is in the first place, once you are in the digital side there is no additional latency between effects, so one effect or 100 effects, as long as you have the processing power, it doesn't matter.

Can't see any reason that either of them would not be able to receive messages, or you not able to send them. Try again and see if it was some temporary passing gremlin?

Its a shame that there isn't a more powerful (or at least more core'd version of the dwarf, as they had stopped the ModX near the end. And a better display but however good it was, I don't think that most people were ready for that level of flexibility. I do feel if they had made the software development environment a bit friendlier, they would have had a lot more of a headsup in the market.

Yes, it seemed a lot for a dwarf, that is what I have, mine is way simpler, but it is my daily gigging setup in a cover band so there isn't much out there needed!

Wow that is a lot! Mine is really simple compared to that, I think I need to experiment a bit more

Its certainly unintuitive, but for me, that is the way of the MPC so maybe I don't notice it! I got jura after all and I am very impressed with it - hard to get a bad sound out of the thing, and very easy to use, but then, its a copy of something that was like that, so it makes sense.

Yeh, no good for me, not too much of a problem as I have the 5 string narrow spacing ric which is lovely to play

I was going to get Jura and analog dreams, but I was put off as when i went to get analog dreams there was a 'sign up to NIs marketing list and get $25 off' so I did, then went to check out and got a 'you can't use it for that' I had MPC stems before, and found it very useful, so interesting to see you didn't get on with it. I will get round to getting jura before it goes back up - £34 is pretty good as I couldn't get together the money to get a real one in 1982!

Have you tried playing it an octave up to see if it tracks better, you can always octave down the output, but that would half the required pitch detection time, which might be enough?

Yeh, that would undoubtadly be too wide for me to find that comfortable. I guess its back to plan B:

Thats not good, it isn't a particularly a fast riff (and we play it faster because.. you know, drummers), but our cover is more like the arctic monkeys so its just distortion for me.

How wide is the neck on those, should I ever find one at what I would consider a reasonable price?

I don't think thats meant as a sound difference, the bass synth can sound just the same as a key synth, its the tracking/latency/performance. Keeping the synth consistant on a bass requires quite a lot of discipline which you don't need on actual keys - the actual keys never glitch out or fail to notice where you are playing or respond quicker to higher notes than lower notes etc.d I don't take keys as it is another to have, but I do take a 16 pad sample pad, and play that for keys on somethings, chords and piano sounds etc. Thats powered from a USB lead from the back of my pedalboard (the HB spaceship ones)

Whats so special about it?

1. An electric car that doesn't make my wife feel sick 2. A training course so I am not so shit on the chapman stick 3. A group that exactly like my group without the right wing nutters 4. A loft ladder built into the loft 5. win the set for life lottery thing

Maybe that was my problem with the Dingwall - I never found the great sound!

I sold my Talman in the end, I thought it was great for the price but the neck was wide and the headstock was really heavy. Often thought about getting one of the EHBs in short scale though.

Ooh thanks for the headsup, I will have a look!

Ah yes, my bad, we have only played the unicorn!

I gave up all music for a long time between 96 and the mid 2000s, but came back to it afterwards a lot more full on. I don't gig for the momey, I have a job that pays fine, I do it for the enjoyment of doing it and i will continue all the time the enjoyment is higher than the hassle. I can see a point in the near future where that might be happening, but I think if I get to that point I may just quit my main group and do something different.

And at least they have a big car park round the back!
