Anybody out there have a distinguished opinion about Frap Tools Fumana, Verbos Bark Filter, Erica Resonant FB, and Moog Spectravox? Any others I’m missing? Which one you going with and why?

I’m looking for something that is versatile with anything from bass, leads, drums, and sampled audio tweaking to get that otherworldly vocoded band passed filter scans…

So far the Fumana seems to take the cake, but it’s just so expensive I want to make sure I’m checking all my bases first. Thanks.

Apart from just spending time with hands on the decks, what are your most highly recommended to some dj tutorial videos/video series for expanding scratch skills and overall knowledge of scratching and entertaining while spinning records?

Only interested in turntables. Thank you.

Ok so long story short I am playing a dx7 from a keystep pro on midi ch 7 out. I have a keystep 37 (midi ch 6 out) playing the keystep pro (ch6 in ch7 out)

They have different functions/capabilities.

When I play from the keystep pro the signal sounds as it should, however when I play from the ks37 there is an infinitely sustaining high pitched whine kind of sound when there is no notes being triggered.

It happens on every preset of the dx7 so I know it’s not a dx7 issue.

Does anyone know why this is happening? I have successfully connected this set up in the past so I can’t think of why this would happen.

Hey just want to open up a discussion about wage and tip pool equality amongst cooks (prep and line).

In the restaurants I have worked there is usually (and I mean always) a station or two that requires workers with a much more refined and versatile skill set. And it’s usually grill and saute, especially grill if it’s a wood burning set up.

The restaurant I have been working at seems to want to have all stations (including prep) making the same rate for their wage and the same tip pooling rate.

I find this to be a rip off, but I want to find a tactful way to express that I want to be paid more if I’m going to be asked more.

I found myself in a situation really needing the job and I don’t want to sour up the work environment (any more than it already is) or risk my employment by expressing this. I’m open to all suggestions and advice regarding to who and how I should go about saying all this. Thank you.

Hey so I’ve experimented somewhat heavily on a Midas 32 channel and also working in the box so to speak using a Motu Ultralite mk5, Arturia Audiofuse x8 in, and external audio effects in Ableton, but now I’m beginning to think it’s a patch bay that might be what I’m really looking for.

Long story short I’m trying to have quick flexibility with effects let’s say to take the phaser’s output and pipe that through the delay, or take the spring reverb and put that through the digital reverb, and rip it all out and reconfigure. And to be able to easily multitrack records the outputs…

Can anyone make some recommendations for somewhat small patch bay set up for mixing and stacking up to 6 effects? Half rack size would be ideal, but it seems like they’re usually full rack size.

I live in a small studio apartment and I’m noticing that whenever I run the washer/dryer I can periodically hear every one to two minutes a bit of a zap coming from my speaker system across the room. It sounds like a pretty quiet zap

Does anyone have any ideas how I can remedy this and if this scenario implies any danger at all?

It seems like the use of the washer/dryer is somehow causing a small surge that is discharging in my speakers. If anyone is able to help me understand what’s going on here and what factors I should consider that would be great!

i need help on how to save/store a value to a dedicated switch position as outlined below for program mode. The code block i posted is where im at right now I just don't know how to make it remember/store the scaled rate or assign that particular rate to stay on that switch position.

Doing a radio kit as one of my first projects. One of the first components I measured is reading 89 ohms but it’s supposed to be 100 with a tolerance rating of 5%. Should I just continue in soldering the board or should I actually take time to find the appropriate resistor and have to special order it?

Would you give the same advice if you were building a modular synthesizer that you plan to keep forever?

Any links to a behringer rd9 schematic floating around out there??

I really want to tear this thing apart to fix an issue with the ride vol potentiometer, but I don't want to get caught with my pants down once I open it up and not be able to have any sense of understanding the circuit board.

It should be a relatively simple procedure I just want to check first just in case anybody out there has any pointers...Thanks.
