This Chandler summing mixer looks really nice though. The TG1 is higher priced than the API2500 etc.

I've looked a lot at Chandler gear, but typically its a bit higher priced than API and not many reviews or synth demos.įor example the 550a eq is $1135 but a little devil eq is $1335 and doesn't have detented knobs. I might redo it as a flat table/lap controller later. It's made around a lamp part that I initially used to make a crude (and, as it turned out, not too useful) cassette tape violin, which was intended to be held like an erhu. It's running off a 9 volt battery, the output being on a trs socket. It consists of a position sensor (output: 0-8 volts), and a pressure sensor (output: 0-5 volts) covering the entire length underneath it.

Late March/early April I made a ribbon controller, primarily to be used with the MS-20 mini. Some nice pipe organs on there that might see some use sooner than the other stuff. There is a chance I might not use it much, but when inspiration strikes it's better to make music rather than shop for libraries. Have an ancient copy of Garritan Personal Orchestra on these compact discs that I don't know what to do with. The record player has been all skippy lately, and the remedy was a new stylus:Īlso, I want to have access to a basic faux orchestra again. If you also use the Garritan Instruments For Finale set that comes with Finale, here is the list of keyswitches for that.Finally started using Renoise (aka the finest music software ever made) a couple of weeks ago. Just duplicate one that's already there and edit it to reflect the settings for the articulation you want listed in the two charts mentioned above.

NOTE: You'll need to create new articulation settings yourself on that tab for any of the articulations beyond the basics (e.g. Techniques tab of Human Playback Preferences correspond to these settings will save tons of headaches. Make sure your GPO5 articulations listed on the Instr. Same thing with the Garritan Personal Orchestra Keyswitch Triggers chart, also from the Finale manual. The MIDI Note To Pitch Table in the Finale manual was a lifesaver for me and I keep a printout of it next to my MIDI controller. Also, it's essential that you use the Notation set of GPO5 instruments and not the Standard set (the Notation instruments have an "n-" before their names), as the keyswitch pitches for the Notation set are located two octaves below those of the Standard set, well below the range of the soft keyboard you see at the bottom of the Aria player. I had to re-assign the proper MIDI Notes to the keyswitches I wanted, and then the articulations triggered properly. Techniques tab in Human Playback Preferences. I had similar issues and the problem turned out to be the Instr.
