abacab Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Here is an example of the full Arturia Piano V. These sounds are available in the Analog Lab, but with just the assigned macros controls for the controller to shape the sound. The full tweakability is only available in the full version of Piano V. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None have been able to play a particular piece as well as the melda one. I never used it before but your post motivated me to try it. It sounds very good but more important there is no machine sound to it or very little. It is a great piano! Thank you for posting this. Brian mentioned that the piano is free. True, but MSoundFactory (required) is not free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern USB MIDI controllers are most simply connected to a USB port on the computer. You could use a 5-pin MIDI DIN connector on the audio interface and keyboard if available. There is no advantage to using a 5-pin MIDI DIN connector, except to provide MIDI compatibility to legacy devices without USB MIDI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would essentially be no point in connecting a USB keyboard through an audio interface, since the USB keyboard connection directly to the computer's USB port is available. If more USB ports are needed, most modern motherboards have optional header pins for direct connection to an extra USB expansion bracket on the rear of the PC case. Otherwise you can add a USB hub. The reason some audio interfaces have 5-pin MIDI ports is to allow legacy MIDI devices that lack USB to connect to the computer. Most modern MIDI controllers are USB compatible, so it's generally not an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starship Krupa Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I know you asked abacab, but I'm with you on every point except 4.1 and 4.2. There is no need to go out of your way to avoid audio interfaces that have 5-pin MIDI, rather you don't need to be concerned with whether it has one or not. There is no downside to an interface having one of those ports. Many (most?) interfaces still include them because they are not expensive to include and there are still many MIDI-capable devices in use that use the connector. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many (most?) interfaces still include them because they are not expensive to include and there are still many MIDI-capable devices in use that use the connector. I agree with Starship Krupa's assessment. There is no point to avoiding the 5-pin MIDI connections. It won't cause any problems and should not cost extra. Most controllers have them, in addition to USB. You never know if you might acquire an external MIDI sound module someday (no USB) that you want to connect the controller directly to, say for live use without a computer. Then it might be handy to have it! USB MIDI is only available on computer and mobile devices. MIDI 1.0 is a serial data connection that runs at low speed 31,250 bps. http://personal.kent.edu/~sbirch/Music_Production/MP-II/MIDI/midi_physical_layer.htm Even USB 1.1 offers far more bandwidth than is required for the MIDI spec. My MIDI controller is plugged into a USB 2.0 port, but the system shows it running at USB 1.1 Full Speed, as MIDI ports are generally backwards compatible with older versions of USB. From MIDI.org to the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), the goal was device interoperability. More on USB MIDI basics are described here: https://www.midi.org/midi-articles/basic-of-usb USB speeds that I commonly see used: USB 1.1 --> 1.5 Mbit/s (Low Speed) 12 Mbit/s (Full Speed) --> Keyboards/Mice/MIDI controllers, etc. USB 2.0 --> 1.5 Mbit/s (Low Speed) 12 Mbit/s (Full Speed) 480 Mbit/s (High Speed) --> external disk drives/flash drives/audio interfaces USB 3.0 --> 5 Gbit/s (SuperSpeed) --> Higher bandwidth for external disk drives/flash drives/audio interfaces. 3.0 drives make backups much faster than 2.0 drives! USB 3.1 --> 10 Gbit/s (SuperSpeed+) --> Haven't used a device with this speed yet, but I have the USB 3.1 ports available on my computer! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please help with questions 1.3., 3.1. 1.3 -No. 3.1 -No. You won't NEED any MIDI 5-pin ports, either in or out, to setup your DAW as you have specified. My earlier suggestion implied that some controllers and interfaces have them. Nice to have, but usually not needed. Some scenarios where a user might find them useful, but I don't see your plan as requiring them: a. An old MIDI keyboard synthesizer without USB --> 5-pin MIDI Out to audio interface with 5-pin MIDI In. The interface provides the needed USB connection to the PC so the keyboard synth can act as a MIDI controller for the DAW. b. The extra 5-pin MIDI In/Out on the keyboard would be useful if you were also sending a MIDI sequence from the DAW PC out to an external MIDI hardware synthesizer, as in "a" above. For example connections would be: DAW PC USB <=> USB Audio Interface with 5-pin MIDI In/Out <=> 5-pin MIDI In/Out connected to old MIDI keyboard/synthesizer. In this case the Keyboard could send MIDI to DAW as a controller, as well as receive and play back a MIDI sequence from the DAW using its own internal sound source instead of the virtual instrument in the DAW. In any case you would not need to use the 5-pin setup, unless you plan to acquire some old external MIDI gear. Even then you could still buy a separate USB MIDI interface for that purpose if you ever needed that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthesizers and samplers: Too many to list all, but my favorites are AIR Music Loom 2, Amadeus Symphonic Orchestra for Kontakt 6 Player, Applied Acoustics Chromaphone 2, Arturia Analog Lab, Arturia Pigments, Cakewalk Rapture, IK Multimedia Hammond B3X, MODO Bass, Philharmonik 2 and SampleTank 4 MAX, iZotope Iris 2, KV331 Audio SynthMaster 2 and SynthMaster One, Seaweed Audio Fathom Pro, Tracktion Biotek 2, Waves Element 2 and Flow Motion, XLN Audio Addictive Drums 2 and Addictive Keys Grand Piano. I heard Bach played on a Moog synth in 1975 and was immediately hooked! I'm an amateur who bought his first synthesizer in 1984, and then proceeded as a hobby to focus on sound design with mostly electronic and ambient music, with environmental and cinematic soundscapes in mind (I like Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Jarre, Vangelis, Hans Zimmer, etc.). I enjoy layering sounds from different instruments to get interesting results. But I do also enjoy traditional acoustic and orchestral music, as well as rock, folk, blues, jazz, funk, country, etc. All good music is welcome! Band in a Box can expand your musical horizons! 2. Intel processors marked "K" (unlocked clock ratio) do not ship with a factory cooling fan. Must purchase cooler separately, and a stock Intel unit is available. The consumer market for "K' processors typically will install custom aftermarket cooling, such as liquid, etc. for overclocking. 3. I did. It is 2x (one front and one rear) intake in front, and exhaust in rear, for case cross ventilation. 4. Not much fan noise as the system functions near idle most of the time. Playing a single piano barely registers on the CPU meter. 5. 600 watt PSU for growth and max efficiency. I wanted the option to add a dedicated GPU later. Plus keeping the load at 50% will let it run cooler and should help to extend the PSU life, have a quieter fan, so best to have near 2x what your expected continuous load is. For example 300 watt load --> 600 watt PSU. Besides this one was only $11 more than the same product with 500 watts. See the article "How to choose a power supply" https://www.newegg.com/insider/how-to-choose-a-pc-power-supply-buying-guide/ Quote A power supply will only pull the electricity demanded by your PC’s components – and so while it might be a waste of money up front to purchase a larger power supply than you need, it won’t cost you any more to operate your PC because of it.

You can add drives as you see the need, but I would start with 1 SSD for "C:" system drive, and a second drive "D:", either HDD or SSD, for projects, and then an external USB 3 drive for image backups.

Intel Fan Heatsink Assembly Air 1151 Cooling BXTS15A https://www.newegg.com/intel-bxts15a/p/N82E16835203026 Note: this fan can get noisy when running a heavy CPU load. The motherboard varies the fan RPM according to the processor temperature. But under normal use, it remains mostly quiet. At idle it's nearly silent. I have to intentionally run a stress test to get all 6 cores in my processor to 100% usage for the fan to reach full speed. My normal workload never reaches that level, so for my purposes this cooler is fine. Stress test: https://www.mersenne.org/download/ Quote Performing a stress test is simple: Download the software and unzip the files to your desired location. Run the Prime95 executable and select "Just Stress Testing" when asked. The default options are sufficient to do a well balanced stress test on the system. Note: This cooler attaches from the top of the CPU socket with 4 push pins. Easy! Most aftermarket coolers require a bracket to be attached to the underside of the motherboard. This type is best to be installed when you first assemble the computer, because if you decide to add one later you would need to remove the motherboard from the case.

On which drive you install VST? 2. samples - it is VST? 3. What is the difference between Projects and content? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. What for you wanted dedicated GPU? 1. On which drive you install VST? Since VST are actually small .dll files, I leave them in folders on the "C:" drive. My VST2 plug-ins go into a sub-folders in Program files like this one "C:\Program Files\VstPlugIns and this one "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\VstPlugins". Whatever paths you choose need to be added to the Cakewalk VST scan path. VST3 have a standard sub-folder in Common Files "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3". Cakewalk searches this VST3 path by default. 2. samples - it is VST? VST plug-in installers can install additional content, including sample libraries, anywhere they like and it's up to the developer to let you choose the specific location at install time. Given the choice, I prefer to place all applications and plug-ins on my system drive, and all the extras on my secondary drive. 3. What is the difference between Projects and content? Projects are the DAW project files that you save which contain the MIDI and audio that you recorded in the project, as well as all project and VST settings used. In the Cakewalk DAW these are known as ".cwp" files. This area will grow as you add more projects. Content is any extra samples, loops, one shots, MIDI patterns, etc., supplied by Cakewalk or any other 3rd party program or VST that you install. The VST should remember where this location is, otherwise you will get an error when the plug-in loads at run time. This content can grow substantially over time, so it is best to install it on your secondary drive, to avoid outgrowing the system drive. Image backups of the system drive do not need to use up the extra space to store this relatively static content. So regularly backup your system drive, and your project folders. But you should only need to backup the content occasionally as it rarely changes, and is typically used as read-only. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. What for you wanted dedicated GPU? I don't actually need one, as the CPU integrated Intel UHD graphics works perfectly well, but the developer for one of my synths has plans to add NVIDIA CUDA processing to accelerate the oscillators. CUDA is a unique parallel computing architecture developed by NVIDIA. The technology allows to significantly increase the computing power using GPU. But it only benefits a program written to take advantage of the feature. So it's not just for pretty graphics! 😁 https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-zone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
