Join me, as I try to learn more about music, synthesizers, theory, and production.

I might not always get everything correct, but I'm always trying to learn, grow, and have fun with making music.

Along the way I might make a detour into checking out some nature and gaming, but the primary focus here is mostly music/synths =)

    Have you tried to use a sustain on your keyboard, because I tried it with 3 different midi keyboards and I didn’t get the sustain working :/

    I am trying to do arp octave. In this video you; 1. hold a note 2. hold shift then presses oct+ and it does an octave two note arpeggio, whilst on mine nothing happens... its such a simple process that I cant see where im going wrong. The controller is going into a behringer k-2 when i hold shift oct+ or oct- lights up by itself. I notice in the video this doesnt happen

    Resonance shifts the filter where ithe sound starts to resonate/self oscillate, as with all "resonance" functions on synths.

    I have noticed that each time i hit rec/append on my keystep 37, the current VolcaSample part resets its sample to S.000 which is frustrating. Also, sometimes the pitch of the part goes so low, dont quite udnerstand this behaviour. In MidiControlCenter i cant find where to define the CC messages for transport buttons If I disable global parameter 6, i would lose the internal sequencer which Id like to keep usable as refering to this video :3 kzread.info/dash/bejne/lZ2TtMeSdK67lqw.html So you could have on VolcaSample part dedicated to chop amen breaks :9 Also i have a simple midi thru-3 but it is DOREMiDi and i think it does not filter midimessages. Should I start buying the miditech one? Help :$

    Hi, thanks for the video, it was very helpful. I have a question about the power consumption. I saw that the adapter sold with the mixer gives 5V and 1A. The 1A is probably more than the mixer needs, so I am wondering: how many mA does the mixer actually requires? I am planning to use it with a portable speaker that has a built in usb port that produces 500mA, so that I don't have to use a powerbank. I am hoping it wouldn't exceed the 300mA, otherwise it'd be to tight and damage the speaker power source. Ah, Just one thing, while plugging the mixer to the power bank you plugged it to the 1A output source (which is absolutely fine, since it's the same output of the given adapteur) and you didn't plug it to the 2A output, cause concerned that it might cause damage. When it comes to Ampere, more output is good, less is bad (the other way around than volts. A higher voltage can fry the device you want to power). While for the ampere, if you send less ampere than required, you might put stress on the battery, cause the device is trying to draw more than the battery can give (I am not an expert, but so I understood). To make it simple, if you the mixer requires 600mA and the powerbank give 1000mA (1A), it's no problem. If the mixer requires 1000mA and the powerbank gives only 600mA, it can be a problem (normally for the powerbank). Does the manual says what the actual power consumption is? Thank you P.S. I saw that somebody already mentioned the Amperage thing, sorry I could have spared a few words :)

    I am a keyboardist who doesn't know a lot about sound. I bought this board to go along with my keyboard Trace Elliot Elf speaker set. At my church's Christmas party, somebody bought their Shure mics along with their one EV amp, which had a terrible muffled sound. So somebody plugged that mic into this board and that mic sounded great! I don't know if that mic needed phantom power, I never pushed that button and that mic was very loud and clear. In the future, I want to get a wireless mic set but I don't know if it will need that Phathom button pushed or not. We will see.thx

    At 2:20 --> that is why i have a Volca Mix. I can change the tempo of three volcas and know exactly what tempo it is. Also, on the Mix, i can power those 3 Volcas with the mix. (No a/c adapters needed z except for the Mix.) So cool.

    The easiest way to think of a cutoff is essentially when it's turned right up it's letting everything through, as you turn it down it's filtering every out above the value youve set. The peak is the same as resonance. If you have a look online there's plenty of videos that explain it really well and it's wayyyy easier than it sounds. Great video thanks, picked a keys and bass up this week so can't wait to have a proper play!
