Doubling/Layering a bass sound with itself an octave apart?

Hi (maybe Qui has an excellent response to this one). I am looking for a way to layer/double a specific syn-bass sound with an octave of itself. I can already layer two DIFFERENT sounds and save it as a custom keyboard set, but I cannot see anything in the built-in effects listings with an ...

Thanks for the warning... If it goes out of calibration again anytime soon, then I will have the joystick unit replaced. I made sure not to toiuch anything else in the maintenance menus and didn't dare try to "explore" options. Since I use mainstage, I can see the actual position in the MIDI signal ...

Kronos Sounds in Soft form?

Apologies if this question has been asked and answered, a brief search of the forums didn't get me any relevant hits. Now that the Kronos has been discontinued for quite some time and replaced by the Nautilus, is there a plugin/vst version of some of the sounds that were on the Kronos/Kronos2 that ...

PITCH-BEND ISSUE - SOLVED !

Hey all, Just to let you know that I have found a fix to the pitch-bend/articulation joystick issue that I've been having for many months now. At first I thought I would have to remove the unit and either adjust or replace either the return springs or the potentiometers... However, just found this ...

I believe that the drum kits are all standardised irrespective of whether it's Korg, Yamaha, Roland, etc... irrespective of if you're using built-in sounds on hardware instruments or VSTs in a DAW or live-patch software like Mainstage. B2/C2 are pretty much ALWAYS kick-drum C#2 pretty much always ...

Korg EXP-2 on PA5X - Reduce sensitivity ?

Hi, I've had the EXP-2 expression pedal for my PA5X for a little over a year, and I'm still finding it OVERLY sensitive. This is especially the case when doing cinematic/epic stuff with strings when I want to do dynamic effects. I find that moving the pedal just a fraction of a centimetre has a ...

The PA5 is new enough for the potentiometer to be failed. Probably the nut that fixes the potentiometer to be weakened and the spring brings the joystick to a vertical position but the potentiometer does not stay fixed in its place so that tuning errors occur. Thanks. I presume I can access the ...

I don't own a Kronos (though I would love to be able to find a good condition Kronos2...) Your comment about transpose/pitch-bend sparked my interest though. On my PA5X, I have an issue where if I use the pitch-bend/articulation joystick, upon return to dead-center, the sound is often de-tuned by a ...

If the Kronos2 hadn't already been discontinued I would have gone for one instead of my PA5X (with which I'm not eccstatically happy -- but it was either that or the Nautilus whcih when trying out in a shop I found just too fiddly to try to navigate for "real-time" live stuff, and the lack of AT at ...

Yup that was it ! The oscillators 1 and 2 first effect (marked as left) with reverse reverb was adding the pads. Moved those down to -inf gain and the sound is perfect.


Thanks !

I honestly didn't think about trying that ... was looking through the upper 1,2,3 which had no effect .. will look at the oscillators.

And YES ... Qui's tutorials are AWESOME !

Felt Piano sound

Kudos to Qui Robinez for his tutorial on creating a felt piano on the PA5X. I'm just curious though.. Isn't there a way to modify the built-in Cinematic Grand to do the same thing by simply eliminating the pad overlays, but still keeping the damper and pedal sound effects? For me this would be a ...

I've never had takedowns (yet) on my YouTube...

Yes, it does stick up a few milimetres at the top .. I don't consider it to be any kind of issue though. I used to have the screen popped up with my old streaming setup when I was side-on to the cameras, but now that I'm face to the cameras I keep the screen down in flush position.

I have the black spots on some of the buttons, but it's not too much of a distraction for me since a lot of the time I'm in the sound edit mode to do individual instruments rather than arranger mode with KSets (though I do use Keyboard sets for several things, especially for layered sounds).
