Sorry, I have been trying to find this info but wondering if anyone has this unit. I am only interested in it to use VST's on the road and small gigs with my Yoga. My MODX7's interface seems to be intermittent in its love for me and goes into distortion crackle mode. My other Yamaha keyboards didn't do that. My question is simply -will this work just to play VST's live? I saw in one post that it is ASIO4ALL not ASIO. Anybody know? I found a very cheap used one here. I have a Babyface but its the old one and with the breakout its a bit of work. I would like to be truly portable. PS Edit. Just read somewhere else comes with ASIO4all drivers. Scary. Need to find the next smallest possibly. I heard Audient latency isn't the best.

I used an MOX8 and an MX61 with a laptop running VST's for years with no problems, and I am having the same problem as you with my MODX. Works great, leave it for a few minutes, and play again and the sound is horribly distorted. Amazing such an expensive keyboard compared to the MX61 but the interface seems useless. That is one of the main reasons I got it. Very discouraging. I don't need an "all around interface." I just wanted to use it for live or as a portable set-up but it fails. Did you ever get it working?

I got the MODX some time back as a live keyboard as I very much like the piano and rhodes sounds and its light (MODX7) and I can travel to gigs by train. I live outside Tokyo. It works fine live, but also use it as a third controller in my studio. Works fine as a controller too. Where it doesn't work correctly is a note sticks when I use it with Cakewalk, even when triggering from another controller. Any help with this? Never had this problem with my MOTIF's, KARMA, etc. I don't use it much, but when in a hurry a rompler is nice.

Hi. Opened up a song and saw the common prompt that my theme may not be compatible and sent me to the theme place. From what I can see it was last updated quite some time ago. How do I find the latest, and if the latest isn't late enough what to do? Just live with the prompt and use it anyway? Thank you.

thank you Glenn.

It used to work during mixdown if I wanted to cancel I could hit escape and CW would ask if I want to keep the partially rendered mix yes or no. Now escape is doing nothing. Has this changed?

I'm not sure to be honest. It was a fluke thing I guess. No problem since then.

Never had this problem before, but of course never had this many export options before. Is there something I need to do to get the .wav to export with the track names? I will google this as I wait. Thank you. If I don't find an answer soon, I have to name them all as the deadline is this evening (it is evening here.) Watching this now. https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+export+tracks+in+Cakewalk+with+track+names&rlz=1C1CHBF_enJP833JP833&oq=how+to+export+tracks+in+Cakewalk+with+track+names&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i546l2.12859j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=_yFaPYtvREsf_wAPizb7ACQ12 One thing I noticed recently is I can't find the export as raw tracks toggle. This was originally an .smf which I imported the files into (song sent to me by a client). PS Didn't help. So strange. This time it worked but they don't have .wav extensions. I'll be back. Got it. Sorry for the trouble.

actually, I do the same. Since the OP didn't seem to understand the swing level adjustment, I was trying to go a step further to show that the direction to go would be the other side of 50 and above -ending up at 64 which is indeed a triplet. So, yes, simply put, leave your swing factor at 50%, and if you want a shuffle or waltz, (When a Man Loves a woman, These Arms of Mine) then just put it on 64. Then John's instructions above about fast moving parts. If you want it to sound more human, then you can move the Strength button a few increments -less percentage points. (try 95%). It will still be quantized, but a little less than perfect. But one can easily screw it up.

its not a windows 10 issue. Maybe you have to reset things. Go to edit configurations and choose default settings, make sure your onboard soundcard is shut off. (I am assuming you are using an external interface.) Maybe run the audio tweaks for pro audio as windows 10 probably resorted to defaults. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/windows-music-dev/unofficial-windows-10-audio-workstation-build-and-tweak-guide-part-1/

You do record your tracks with a metronome right? That should put you in the ballpark, and then using the default settings should work fine. Swing should be 50. If you want it to be a shuffle move towards 60 - 64.

I have noticed this as well, that it "often happens" at this time. But it is usually if I have a pretty CPU intensive song loaded with heavy VST activity. I did take off the "autosave" and one time when I desperately needed it, it wasn't there and I lost work. I do it by minutes, not by changes. It seems to work better I assume because less calculations. I set it for 15 minutes.

hi Mark. I just checked this out. Is it a bass synth only or has the 808 drums?

this works great. And has a decay, tuning, pitch function. There is a paid version but the free one works fine.

yes, originals. A friend of mine does house renovations, moving, and a chap was leaving Japan and gave them to him. Being a millennial, he was used to boom boxes and powered units and asked if I wanted them. To my surprise, they were in mint condition. On the engineers side of my room I have lots of speakers (see signature), but like to sit on a couch and listen to the mixes when I'm "done". I recently purchased a new amp and some Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 which sound great. Decided to try the amp with the ES11's and bam. I'm in love. Could have saved that money on the Wharfedale's. I have heard amazing things about the 14's. We are blessed.

hi Steve. We have similar tastes. Can do one for you if you like. It's a Korg CX3 through a Leslie mic'ed with two AKG CE300/CK91's (what a long name).

very creative. So many nice sounds. I have Epos 11 hi fi speakers in my studio "Livingroom" (other side of the same room but for guests) for chilling and listening to the mix. Sounding really nice. Keep ' em comin. Sounds good on my subs as well.

good all around including mix. Did you receive all the instruments and mix and master them? Were the drums multi-track and you processed and mixed? Very nice.

rhythm section I work with here in Tokyo. I'm playing keys, mix, master.

very nice. I see you have have been filming in my town. Do you live in Tokyo? Whatever, very well done. I think the horns could fit better in the mix, but its not "distracting." I usually go back and a forth about 50 times on these types of decisions. The mix I just did I mixed the organ so many times. Very good stuff.

here was my final process. There were 5 takes of the song beginning to end times 10 tracks. I made a composite of the best takes of each section, and exported at 44/16. (I saw no reason to change the 16 to 24.) Thanks everyone. I’ll post the first song in the song forum soon.

David does that work? I thought of that and almost tried it but wasn’t sure it would work. With all the cuts, punch ins, and 5 takes x 10 tracks of drums (for 5 songs) I was a bit timid and treading lightly. My question being, how do I know it will line up to the right track when dragging to the target project (kick in, kick out, hat, sn top, sn bot, oh L, Oh R, tom 1,2,3). It will just automatically find its place?

hi there. Tried this and said the project audio doesn't match the sample rate.

scook -simple but brilliant. Thanks.

ok, great. Thank you. Question 2. If received as .bun files, is there a shorter way to get them to 44.1/24 than opening the .bun and exporting them as 44.1/24 raw .wav?
