@Hugo: thanks, and I know the Blofeld is a great synth, but again it has almost only assignables, and I'm looking for something with dedicated controls. @Pillbug: yes, the Radias probably comes relatively close to what I'm looking for, but somehow, I've never really been able to work with it well ...

ok, I'm back, and wiser. I bought and owned the Gaia for a week before I returned it. now, if I had a studio with 2-3 other synths, I would have definitely kept it, because it's perfect for some things. specifically, I haven't ever heard of a synth with such flexibility for shaping evolving sounds ...

Argus, you may find a completely different experience programming the R3 if you use the software editor instead of menu diving. You're missing out on the best way to edit the R3 without the software editor. that's a great idea and I'll definitely give it a go, but it doesn't change the fact that it ...

I own an R3, it was my first hard synth, but ever since I started using the incredible Rob Papen and NI soft synths I've sadly only used it as keyboard controller. what a waste, I know, but I find patch programming on the R3 to be kind of a hassle, because I just hate having to scroll through menus ...

I'd be really curious to see what you put together. it's funny you should post this now, I've actually just re-discovered that idea after over a year, though with different equipment. the heat issue is still a concern for me though, since the ESX and my macbook tend to get uncomfortably hot and I'd ...

just joined. looks good!

since you already have a MicroKorg and have the synth part of your performance pretty covered, I'm tempted to recommend the ESX instead of the EMX to you. the EMX is a great synth, but since you're talking so much about drum patterns and also recording, the ESX might be the better choice since you ...

you mean, pieces of wood underneath the tribes, or where? because the heat is a serious concern for me, and I'd really like to have some kind of system that allows for airflow or some kind of cooling at least from underneath.

hey, I'm looking into getting a custom flight case (a la NovaTRON) made for all my live gear. it would have interior dimensions of approximately 80x80cm and would include: ESX EMX Behringer BCD 3000 (MIDI controller for the Macbook, which is outside the case) Behringer DX626 (cheap 3ch mixer for all ...

here's mine:

it's mostly electro and house, with a hint of breakbeat.

strange. I'm at work right now so I can't try it, but I know that I've used kicks on parts 4 and 5 and even 7 and I've never had a problem with it. maybe it really is your machine.

well, obviously everyone starts out with Tiesto or Armin van Buuren. now, if you want something a little more classy, go for Ferry Corsten, Blank & Jones or Thrillseekers.

I'm not that big on Trance myself, but start with those three and see where it takes you.

thanks for the reply. my concern, however, is that the ESX will recieve all the knob and slider MIDI as well, not just the keyboard data. I want to avoid that when I use a knob for something inside Traktor, some parameter of the ESX changes as well. so would I use the MIDI application to divide the ...

you beat me to it.

Live ftw.

hi again. is it possible to use a MIDI keyboard with knobs and sliders, such as a MicroKontrol to control two MIDI applications at once? specifically, I want to control the keyboard parts of the electribe with the keyboard via a MIDI cable, but use the knobs and faders for Traktor via USB. is this ...
