Hi

I am currently using a nord lead 2x as my midi controller in Abelton live. I can record audio no problem, but when i try to record midi, the midi shows up but it doesnt play the notes back. What am I doing wrong?

Dear Mr G,

1. The reincarnation is not finished yet.
2. I'm a big guy. With a big Harley. 8-)
3. What's the problem? ;)

(OK, I'm aiming for a bit of an ugly design, to make it look even more odd and strange. A large flat top is good for holding stuff at a gig.)

It could be cool to make it look like an old pianet or even a clav!

Btw that is a cool VPC1 but I would rather have it in black.

Saludos,
Gustavo

Marlowes, do you want a dedicated thread for your U20 revival, can I do that and move the posts into its own topic ?
I paid my U20 something around 1400 € in the 90's, it was an alternative to a Korg M1.
The "Native Dance" preset was used "as is" (out of the box) for the Winter Olympic Games overture in Albertville 1992 ;)
I spend so much time on this synth ;) It's nice to see one still alive now !

Great work Marlowes !! I like a lot to do some little modifications to my keyboards. And a few times I had to clean the rubber contacts too, I remember that work in a Yamaha SY22, a Roland W30....paint work on a Roland JV35, E-Mu Longboard, Yamaha DX7.... Putting those little ac adapters inside a Roland XP10 and Juno D....
Have fun !!

Hej!

Decided to get started again ... wanted a large front panel (to incorporate more stuff), with a slant for easy access, so I came up with new higher sides ... and, yes, I have inhaled some glue fumes ...
