Tubes can make a difference especially when overdriven. This is exactly applied in the nubass VTO which has saturation for the sub oscillator. Classical tubes are in fact quite rare on synths. Apart from Metasonix there is Erica Synths Fusion series modules and some diy projects. Worth mentioning ...

Volcas are entry level products and offer a lot for the money. Quite obviously they are not for everyone. I have no plans to buy them, but I'm glad Korg is expanding the line of affordable synths. With the exception of OK GO which seems like developed in marketing department every unit is quite ...

Give them a chance. You don't loose anything by sending an email to your country distributor. If the issue is known they may suggest a workaround. Forum is ok too, you can get support any time, but obviously as a user-to-user service it has its limitations. Another good point is that it is freely ...

hello rodion77 I've made a few tests and like you could not get expected results. It seems Korg Odyssey, following its size, is only 86% compatible with the original. ;-) More seriously... this function is on the edge between digital and analog parts of the synth, therefore more susceptible to ...

Can you post a photo of the synth, both top and back panel, so we could check the settings? Perhaps there is something not obvious that escapes our attention?

I've looked once again at the original problem with envelopes. It seems only ADSR envelope is retriggered with each key press and AR not. To be more specific ADSR follows TRIG signal while AD is hardwired to GATE. The solution might be using the ADSR only, but this will obviously has its limitations ...

I recommend reading manuals. Thay may seem boring, but don't bite ;-) There are a few for the Odyssey - Korg's own and original Arp's, but you can learn a lot from others - take a look at Arturia Beat Step Pro or Doepfer Dark Time for example - they cover a lot of useful information. There is also a ...

Here you will find interesting discussions regarding oscillator tuning: https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=68394&sid=90769e4c67b8ea0f1e1e06619f25678a http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=367420&sid=c635ad403479c905f4f0f3e96e2a7e76 I assume you understand that analog might ...

Hello Broadwave,

Perhaps you would share more informations about the calibration process, especially regarding the trimmers available from outside?

TIA,
Michał

Invalid button combinations are ignored, so for example play+gate+8 will enter normal mode. Perhaps one of the other buttons, which you do not press, doesn't work correctly?

From the update instructions: "...monotribe will not enter update mode if the batteries are depleted" [1] Make sure there are no baterries inside and unplug everything else. [2] Check with fresh batteries. [3] Check with a different power adapter. Just to make sure it isn't something basic - to ...

If Korg has really done a good job it should not be possible at all! KARP is a purely analog device unlike many modern so called true analog synths, which are in fact hybrids with extensive digital control. The digital part has its benefits, one of which is preset recall. In most cases you loose ...

Hi jayrope, It seems the cv input goes after the portamento circuit. The reason is that the cv output is also after the portamento and ppc, which has an advantage when controlling other synths from arp (when arp is the master). The mod is most likely possible, but a decent one would require not only ...

I don't have ms-20 but I've managed to achieve something similar on karp using portamento. The trick is to set the time to fit the playing tempo and to apply the slide only to certain notes. For example you play C and E without portamento, then switch it on and play G repeatedly. This is quite easy ...

Many guitar pedals accept line level inputs (see http://support.tcelectronic.com/hc/en-us/articles/228328648-Ditto-Looper-X2-does-it-work-with-a-keyboard-). More problematic is the guitar amp which is not designed to handle full range signals and can even be damaged if the signal is too hot. You can ...
