The Apple/non Apple hardware thing is real. They release updates which whack new knock of adapters out of the running. That is probably where the issue is. I have no Cubasis experience, but if I were to multitrack on an iPad I would be looking at Garage Band.

On the spur of the moment, I bought a Moog Sub Phatty. It appeared in the classifieds here and was "local" to where we were at the time. It turned our 5 hour journey home into an 8 hour journey. My wife is extraordinarily patient. I had been thinking about a small, monophonic synth for a long time and realised that the asking price was less than I would expect to spend on a bass. I have been messing with synth pedals for years, but this showed me that there is a reason keys played bass sounds different. Having all the controls in one place and accessible immediately has made playing and manipulating it very easy. Don't get me wrong, I am not doing Stevie Wonder bass (more is the pity) but I can do what I want with remarkable ease. It is SO much easier than doing a poor imitation on bass guitar. Am I going to keep it? I am not sure about that. Now that I have experienced it, I suspect that a midi keyboard running into Logic will provide all the synthy goodness I will ever need. But it is certainly my best ever impulse purchase.

I know it exists in France and in other places. Just imagine. https://www.bigissue.com/news/ireland-basic-income-scheme-artists/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwY2xjawNxok9leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETBtWTREamlHeXRnSEFpUGdEAR78RHRdvuSVagV9jVXJMOWNsYvbbd12fayeUuStFL0rbLQvJoHNz0oRyj3QnA_aem_lbdeRpo0P1km6wVd0wQ_Eg#Echobox=1761385832

Fortunately, my impulse control is significantly better than it used to be.

Filter preamps make my head hurt. But this thread has me fancying and Overwater Original.

I have one from the early 90's. I am quite a light guitarist and do not actually play much acoustic. So it lasted very well. Then one of my son's friends picked it up when they were rehearsing here. The finish got battered pretty quickly. I feel your pain.

I used to use one when I was into carrying stuff around. It was certainly shifting the air at the top of the Matterhorn. I used it under an SRM450 as my backline. It was totally innapropriate and I am sure the people at the other end of the room were getting more LF than they wanted. But I had a lovely time

A euphemism if I heard one

Top end is, like, so 5 years ago, maaahn.

That is if I can actually download them. This is taking forever!

I suspect this is going to need some significant HD re-jigging.

Am I entirely sure what I am downloading by now? Not really.

Thanks for the nudge, I had given up. Their servers are still crawling, but I am seeing progress!

It could well be user error on my part, but it is not giving me any freebie joy.

And that is a tone control. Because volume is either on or off.

Inspired by this activity I want and bought Amplitude 5. I also cannot log in at the moment :(

I had an intractable - for me - MIDI problem. Peter came to the rescue. I no longer have an intractable MIDI problem. And so epically patient!

I must admit, I have found that any amp works for a DB as long as there is an FDeck HPF between the bass and the amp. It smooths things out and you can nuke the boominess. A Vong doobrie https://schalltechnik04.de/en/instructions/vong-filterung- would also do a cracking job.

Mr 1515 knows. I am actively selling off basses. I have one of each that I "need". But something built with a piece like that........

You will find that many, many DB players will have clocked various grain and stuff in the neck as markers,

Could someone clue me up about the out of phase pickups? Is it just a matter of reversing the phase of one of them? TIA

If you are playing in tune, in time and not experiencing pain, there is not much else to worry about.
