Jump to new posts Questions about PA5X by Swissman @ Today at 10:21 AM

Hello to everybody. I have a PA3X and was considering updating to a PA5X. Apparently, the PA3X custom styles, sounds and drum kits are not directly compatible with the PA5X. Does that means that I would loose all my own settings or the PA5X can r

Re: Tune 1000 Volume 1 Demos after NAMM by Diki @ Today at 10:04 AM

With audio tracks from sites like karaoke-version.com being so affordable ($2.99 a tune) and using real guitars, basses, background vocals etc, they pretty much kill MIDI sequences. They are available in multitrack format, so you can edit them almos

iPads don't run Mac software. Unless I missed one, I've seen no arranger software for iPad. Most of Giglad's storage requirements come from the soundset. I don't want to use their sounds, just want to use a GS soundset and then stuff like Pianoteq,

I'm a big fan of the CME products, for wireless AND wired MIDI. Give their H4 interface a look. USB-C, USB-A, 5-pin MIDI & wireless MIDI (WIDI) with an optional internally mounted accessory board. Very affordable, very reliable.

I've messed with Python but I'm not a programmer or developer. There are probably software EMULATORS that can emulate specific hardware such as the ICs used in the venerable RA-800. AI large-language models can write code, and might also easily tran

Giglad was just used as an example and not meant as the definitive software arranger. As I mentioned you cannot copy and paste software between equipment as it all has to be recoded to work with different hardware (This is why a Windows program will

Essayist and simplest way is to use a computer or tablet as the bridge so that you have full control of what goes where. (Note not all Midi USB keyboards are supported by tablets) Bill

How 2 Ctrl 2 keyboards w. MIDI with only USB B by Dengizich @ 01/23/26 05:15 PM

This wasn't an issue in the past when keyboard manufacturing companies put a 5 Din MIDI connector on keyboards, but nowadays all you have is a USB B (USB to HOST). How do you connect two keyboards that only have a USB to HOST for MIDI?

Re: AKAI MPC XL by TedS @ 01/23/26 10:53 AM

I disagree Bill. An arranger is at least 85% software (which for most brands has evolved only glacially in the last 20 years.) How much of Giglad's spec is driven by sound and video processing? It has an elaborate visual interface with more featur

I have been saying for DECADES how there's nothing intrinsically wrong with arrangers for younger players EXCEPT THE STYLES. You wouldn't buy an arranger if the vast majority of the ROM styles were from the 1920's or 30's. And kids today don't want t
