The MIDI 2.0 protocol was feature-complete back in 2015 , and private demos were run at NAMM shows since at least 2011. They just couldn't figure out the incentive for an industry-wide adoption. But now that has changed - welcome MIDI-CI which includes things like configuration, patch listing, and ...

it's an all encompassing metaphor! No. "Moore's law" is not a natural law, just a practical observation, and it only talks about the number of transistors, not the costs to produce them. It's the process node shrinking that enabled the economics of the computing revolution - until it nearly stalled ...

What's up with over-quoting? This isn't freaking Facebook... why do I have to skip FIVE large messages each essentially having a mere "+1" comment?

I never implied that these synth companies should implement a Cubase like environment into their synth (actually this is something you seem to presume that I did) I never said that they should hire their Cubase team in order the work on a synth/workstation sequencer (again this is something that ...

The Roland Fantom G offered 128 tracks of midi and 24 tracks audio, while it certainly may be debatable wether it had been easy and useful to work with. Korgs own Krome and M3 offer better editing capababilies than Kronos. Companies already proved time and again that it's possibly for them to ...

The MV 8000 simply had been too late on the market Fairlight CMI was on the market in 1978. The point is, it's not that "simple" for a few software engineers to reimplement a successful desktop OS and well-established sequencing software on a closed embedded hardware platform. When they are able to ...

People (especially songwriters) would work with on board sequencers if they were more user friendly and up to date (as some of the polls here certainly have indicated). The reason why developers neglect them is simple, there are generally more live musicians using hardware synths. I can't see any ...

the market will say the true Price of Kronos never drop down in 5 or more years, we will see what happens with the montage I've heard this all before. In 2001 there were lenghty threads on the Motifator forum comparing the Motif Classic with Triton Studio, in 2003 they were talking about Motif ES ...

None of us knows what kind of user reaearch Yamaha has done. I quoted Phil Clendeninn, a Yamaha techical specialist and Yamaha USA employee - not some random user. And none of us users can take his own contacts as statistically relevant... among former Motif users I talked with most are ...

Yamaha does not care so much about users feedback E.g. a lot of people are complaining about the sequencer, but they don't care Look at the answer on Yamahasynth forum, bad mister says: You don't need an on board seq, montage has a new workflow, if you don't like is not the keyboard for you Is this ...

Demo by musictrackJP AKA Katsunori Ujiie - who appears to have programmed a few preset sounds for the Montage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfAxxav4PUU Quite a few FM-X sounds at 5:49, 8:19,17:12, 19:56 and 24:14 - including a very dynamic "FM Jazz Guitar" from the SY-99 and "analog" strings and ...

Looks like FM-X is quite similar to FS1R - 8 operators, sine wave + 7 Spectral Forms, 88 algorythms, and filter/FEG; there's also Spectral Skirt and Spectral Resonance, Common LFO, and EQ/effects. I presume self-feedback as on the reface DX is also present, and maybe formant-generating unvoiced ...

There is no "better" sound quality for the same 4-operator program when played back on a 6-operator machine. FM operators work like oscillators - additional operators allow new harmonic content or transients such as attack, vibrato, decay, etc. They cannot not really imporve sound quality of ...

I guess better depends on what your looking for in tone. Effects, operator feedback, a bit different programming, better internal precision in the TG chip, much better D/A converter - it all makes the reface DX sound more pristine and detailed, with less noise and aliasing. But if you're nostalgic ...
