Gratz Keni. Spectacular !.

Just when you might think you’re done… Alesis crapped out, lots of other people with dead multipads too. Time to move the cash over on refund to the Roland SPD-SX Pro.

Since I moved back over to only using my MacBook Pro. The mega PC was a pita with Jamulus. I am now in Studio One Pro 6 as main still, songs moved over no issues. Logic Pro X 10.7 and Cubase 12 Pro. Each have had a fair number of years from me dating back to the 90s for Cubase. Still a shame CW is not on Mac, because of course I had used that since twelve tone days :).

At the risk of sounding dumber than all you guys already know I Am ... Who/What is DW?

My apologies, being a multi instrumentalist I do take some knowledge for granted. DW stands for Drum Workshop and they make higher end drums and hardware in the US.

People were excited when Roland bought Cakewalk too.....

I think we should not equate that disaster, which was honestly surprising considering Roland’s initial interest in hardware for DAWs. Roland and DW do really well on drums.

This has happened fairly quietly. 

Personally I’m excited I own several DW bits and they are quality kit. The emergence of hybrid drum kits and a mix of Roland e-Drum tech and DW hardware and drums shells. Oh the possibilities…

Poor Kenny!  That's going to give him a birthday heart attack! 😆

What a way to go LOL.

And, the final?, layout. I was over reaching for the Alesis. Now it’s a natural placement. In my vision of expanding my kit I overlooked a major issue that reared it’s head too.
 

My 12 inch Tom 4 and my China placement extra cymbal had been plugged into the loom correct places. Tom 4 completely ceased sounding the head and as a result I bought a new skin and was about to replace cone… also that cymbal was a bit squirrelly. 

Both are now plugged directly into the TD50x and the issues are no more. Important lesson, don’t use the supplied sockets on loom from Roland!!. Sheez

But, most importantly, does it have a cowbell??? 😁

Lol. 

And my absolute favourite included patch is..

9 musical pluck sounds.. ahh 

And here it is, all shiny and new. Best of all, came with latest firmware installed bonus :).

Now working, however can't connect to the cloud thing it says I have no internet when I definitely do, and can't check for updates.. so they broke something still.

Time for an update?. Well I’ve added a little and tomorrow my Alesis Strike Multipad is coming. Wide angle photo alert, makes my far right 10in look 12in lol.

I’ve reached a point where the Roland kit is properly engaging the player in me. I can tweak it more yet, but general consensus is it sounds great.

I dont know anything about this product. but did you install the latest updates?

 

I see they have

 

 

I can't even start it, guess it's time to uninstall and get newest version again... I was sure I updated to previous OSX... the joys of developers being behind the Apple dev cycle :). Thanks.

I think they just moved it to their site:

https://www.tcelectronic.com/product.html?modelCode=P0DE5

 

Hi Pollux,

Thanks I saw that, didn't put two and two together 😕. So the question is now, why is it suddenly not working...  And that site doesn't appear to do what the old one did for live comparison?. Hmmm.

Sorry to necro this thread guys and gals, but I just recently discovered the website for Finalizer is gone too. And, my installation of the app on my now Monterey OSX Macbook Pro no longer works... TC Electronics may have stealth killed this off...

Got NI Komplete 13 CE here, RIP their gravy train. Nothing compelling to see unless this suddenly stops working. Sad really. 

For anyone in UK Inta Audio has this for £129 inc VAT!! Best price out there, for us.

P.S If you want a reason to get this, it comes with In the air tonight as a setup :))

I remember looking into Sphere when it first came about. Does Presonus regularly come out with new content ( instruments, effects, soundpacks, etc. ) to make it worthwhile ?

For me it’s more about paying overtime less (including bits) and not worrying about it. I’ve been on iZotope sub a couple of years now too, that’s definitely saved me money!. 

On Presonus Sphere so… bring it on

I am very tempted by this. The Padgham kit I have for BFD is OK, but...

The Thomann price is £140 in the UK due to VAT.  I may wait but new SDX don't go on sale for ages after release.

Yeah 133usd.. wth.. 

Still loving my sub

@Bapu Epic mate :).

If you’ve never heard it in use, do yourself a favour listen. I have it in software and on my H9s.

Just in time!
