    The editor will have control over velocity depth and mid point. This should cover what you need. Panel control is a bit more limited. Most original DX7 patches have some velocity sensitivity by default.

    How was your gig tonight? Old fart like me with an achy back? Look no further at your remedy above. Get in quick as I'm seriously considering withdrawing and selling something else.

    IMO these are misunderstood and highly underrated. I won't sell mine even though I can't currently get it on to any of my boards. Glwts

    What I find really useful is if the timbre varies with playing dynamics, allowing lots of expressive variation, but the actual output volume stays much more fixed.

    Sorry that was incorrect, it is the EMG BTS (Bass & Treble)

    Sorry, yes that’s what I mean. That’s really cool as long as it can be saved to the patch. I was thinking it might have a slider in the editor to set a specific velocity level like the Volca FM does.

    I would want to be able to but also want it to be able to work at a fixed level, depends what you are doing. For a lot of 80s bass lines you want the sound to be very consistent.

    I was first made aware of the paraEQ sweep thing when i was considering an EBS TD-650 head and it mentioned a particular set up to allow the sweep till you find the annoying frequency and all of a sudden it started to make sense. I even tried it in the studio who have EBS heads into Ampeg 810 cabs and it worked a treat. It really was quite a simple way of removing a troublesome frequency. Think next time i have an issue with a specific frequency i will experiment with that again. I almost always use a gramma pad these days so my sound is pretty steady in most venues. Out of curiosity i have tried without the gramma pad at some venues as a comparison and prefer to use it virtually all gigs. Think i just need to spend more time tweaking things at gigs pre-sound check. Sometimes its hard to get time to do that. Dave

    Thanks, but it's 5 string only for me now- sold all of my 4's as they weren't being used anymore. Paul

    Not quite yet but close enough for me to confirm that this year's Bash is definitely a goer 🙂 If more pre-payments don't come through as we get closer to the 'cancel with full refund' deadline for paying the hall on August 11, I'll give another shout.

    Call Me is one I've done for years, really tough on the singer, Debbie Harry has an unusual range so . It's lots of fun to play for the rest of us. I love the complete switch to A-D in the guitar solo but keeping the rhythm from the verses in Picture This, dropping down to open strings at this point makes it feel like a bit of a break in intensity too. It just feels right. Throughout the songs there are so many tiny details. Interestingly he plays far more freely in their live performances. The other thing I'm enjoying is that so much of the playing is four to the bar. I've played so much indie stuff over the years that it's fun just to make the change and it then makes the 8-beat more exciting when you bring it in for a couple of bars then drop out again. I think I'm getting slightly obsessed here My big issue is that run on the F#m in Atomic, so many hand shifts, I'm still dropping the octaves at that point in rehearsals and working it at 2/3 speed in practice whilst gradually speeding up. Interestingly my opera singer/director friend tells me classical players slow things down a lot more than that and play really strict tempo on pieces where the tempo is an issue. It's kind of reassuring really that we are all human and effortless playing is hard work.

    Just wondering if there’s any news on this, hopefully it’s been returned to the owner

    I would always recommend foam tips over the silicone ones. You get such a better seal which then gives you a better bass response. It's a night and day difference.

    Hi! I'm a 30+ female who has been thinking of learning a instrument for fun - figured no harm done in playing Rocksmith and seeing how it feels. My first thought was guitar since I feel too old for band but knew I had made the wrong choice when I caught myself googling intensely "how to make your guitar sound like a bass" before the guitar arrived. Not a metal person, more of a disco / dance / funk / Motown but also into rock, esp alt, indie, math, some prog, pop punk .. figuring out which bass could handle both has been challenging but someone suggested to check what types of bass the bands I liked used, and some did precision, others jazz, and others used 80s Jpn jazz basses which had PJ pickups apparently? So a PJ but the other way around. So I figured it would not hurt to look at local listings and fell for some along the way. Among those that picked my attention at a low price point for a beginner were Samick Saturn and Ibanez EXB445 (figured one more string for my goth bands couldn't hurt .. ) and then the Fernandes FRB40 that fellow 90s Jrock enthusiasts may have played their first lines at. At a lower price point missed a Cort GB JB while I was pondering and an Aria Pro II Magna both of which I could not find reviews of. If anyone has more info on the uniqueness of these vintage Japanese basses from the 80s I would be thankful, mind you I googled it but all I saw were "regular" PJ basses so not sure if that's what it meant 🙂 and I guess pls suggest your favorite low end bass that can handle both disco grooves and the best of The Cure lol and whether u would recommend PJ basses (heard some people don't like them because of noise issues 🤔 ) and 5 strings and active basses for beginner or nah just stick to a simple passive 4 string P or J

    If simplifying them and leaving out key phrases is putting his mark on them, then he certainly did that....

    Thank you

    In that case, perhaps the problem with the ZS10s is that they are not properly sealed in my ear canal? (I use the supplied "thin rubber mushroom", which fits but doesn't seal). So perhaps the difference was the memory-foam tips, rather than the in-ear device itself? Those memory-foam tips are a cheaper option than new The 215s were notably better - perhaps because of the tips, or perhaps because the sound was mixed by a professional PA company.

    When I saw Blondie the bassist was a spector toting beast called Leigh Foxx, amazing tone albeit very 'front and centre' of the mix
