![]() Tattoo artists create these designs using several tattooing processes and techniques, including hand-tapped traditional tattoos and modern tattoo machines. I enjoyed listening to some of your music this morning over breakfast.Application of a tattoo to a woman's footĪ tattoo is a form of body modification made by inserting tattoo ink, dyes, and/or pigments, either indelible or temporary, into the dermis layer of the skin to form a design. If I can then prove that the keyboard is working correctly, I'll be happy to spend some money on quality interface hardware and MC6. If that looks kind of reasonable, I might then connect it to one of my arduinos and capture the MIDI messages. So I'll build up a simple circuit and connect my oscilloscope to the output of the keyboard which will allow me to remove everything else (PC, USB interface, drivers etc.) from the environment. I'm still not convinced that it has survived 20 years of gathering dust.Īfter scook's suggestion, I loaded MIDI-OX and the messages are erratic and often don't pertain to what I was doing on the keyboard. Unfortunately, like most technology, it's expensive here in Australia and, at the moment, I'm in the "can I get this keyboard working again?" phase. I looked at your website after your previous post and then checked out the Focusrite hardware. Don't be afraid to invest in a good interface. The earlier stuff is all on MC4 and more recent music is on X1 essentials.Ī good interface literally makes all the difference in the world as it relates to the experience you have while recording. Have a listen to some of the music I create on a very basic set up on my web site. Once I got it set up, it has run like a "Pro" ever since. I personally use a Focusrite interface which I bought at the same time I bought the software MC4. Focusrite and several other brands meet this criteria.Ī good quality interface will give you the operating results you seek in the software in the first place. To get professional level results out of any Cakewalk product, you should also plan to invest in a nice USB musical interface which runs native ASIO drivers and has midi as well as audio inputs AND nice high quality preamps on the audio inputs. We see it happen often with new users to cake products who are using their factory sound cards and MME as a driver. Generally, skipped or missing notes in midi comes from a soundcard that can not handle the load and process everything in real time. ![]() My local music store is still advertising MC5 and they have a matrix on their website which lists significant feature differences between the boxed and downloadable versions of MC5.Īs far as I can see there is no boxed version of MC6 Touch available? (yet?) ![]() It looks like MC6 comes with 6 instruments in the basic package. The A-30 is just a controller keyboard, Guitarhacker, so no inbuilt sounds. ![]() (But this is still probably the wrong forum for this discussion.) If so, I'll investigate a better interface such as you suggest, Guitarhacker, and try again. Hopefully it's just the cheap MIDI to USB interface but I'll hack up a simple opto-isolator circuit so I can have a look at the MIDI Out port on the keyboard with an oscilloscope to see if the messages look reasonable. (Apologies - I realise that this is a Cakewalk forum but I'm just trying to establish that the keyboard is working correctly before I invest in MC6). I downloaded VSTHost and MuLab and both gave the same unsatisfactory result - only occasional notes, perhaps every 5th note, from the keyboard would play. Any extra bells and whistles would be a bonus. Is Music Creator 6 Touch a reasonable way to achieve this?Īt the price, I don't expect professional quality - just as long as there aren't likely to be any significant latency issues. These receive mixed reviews but I can always buy a better one if need be.Īll I really want to do at this stage is use the Roland as a rough and ready electric piano - if I press a key, the appropriate sound comes out of the speakers, just like I used to do 20 years ago. I can't even remember what software I used to use then. Since most PCs no longer offer game ports, I bought a cheap MIDI to USB interface (the one with the strange looking clef). It's been gathering dust for many years.Īfter a good clean and some batteries, it seemed to be alive so I'm keen to resurrect it. I recently "discovered" my Roland A-30 controller keyboard which I bought in the 90's to teach myself to play the piano.
