Re: HELP!!! Using other D/A converter (RME, Apogee etc) to M in Grooveboxes · 13 Dec 2009

No worries Artemiy, you weren't shouting, just trying to get to the truth of the matter. Yeah, just straight into the analog Ins on the DP/2, it just really makes things sound wide and organic. If you're wanting to just...

Re: HELP!!! Using other D/A converter (RME, Apogee etc) to M in Grooveboxes · 5 Dec 2009

"I find it strange that there isn't more discussion considering this seems to go back to the S." Me too. I guess the quality as-is and with workarounds is good enough for most.

Re: HELP!!! Using other D/A converter (RME, Apogee etc) to M in Grooveboxes · 5 Dec 2009

Oh, and to answer the original question, yes an high quality external converter will have an effect. It will on anything. When I run the 909 through an Ensoniq DP/2 processor, even with the effects in bypass, it sounds a...

"This information is not true!!! Why are you telling this if you don't know? MC-909 has a linear sampler. The internal waveforms are compressed indeed (just like they are in the Fantoms and Junos), although you won't eve...

Re: HELP!!! Using other D/A converter (RME, Apogee etc) to M in Grooveboxes · 5 Dec 2009

The problem is Roland's craptastic RDAC compression. You might get a bit better signal going digital, but the frequency response will still be damaged. Anytime you convert a sample to the 909, that data compression fudge...

Re: Sampling quality problem... in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 3 Jan 2009

Sorry to ressurect a long dead thread, but I've noticed something similar on my MC909. Things loose "sizzle", and no matter what I do, sample via USB, sample digitally, use "Emphasis", it never comes back. Doesn't the 90...

Re: Roland ef-303 in Grooveboxes · 11 Dec 2008

No problem Artemy, in fact, there's on one Ebay right now with BIN of $250. Not too bad if you don't want to wait for a cheaper one to show. Voice is sort of like Boss's VT pedal, doing a sort of pitch and formant effect...

Re: Roland ef-303 in Grooveboxes · 11 Dec 2008

I have one. Won't give it up. Wouldn't be worth it anyways, they usually go for cheap, don't pay more than $200. They show up on ebay and the like, you just have to be patient. It's quite unique. 16 step sequencing of ce...

Re: Thinking of an MC 909! in Grooveboxes · 18 Jun 2008

Hows that SRX05, Flex? Any good velocity layered drum kits?

Re: AKAI MPC5000! that means Roland will have a new Grooveb in MC-808 · 30 Jan 2008

The MPC5000 has a lot of pluses actually. The workflow looks really nice. Onboard VA synth doesn't use any of the effect DSP like MV's bass synth does. Plus, I believe the synth is based on Alesis VAs, so it's fairly dee...
