Anyone getting into using Audio to control and modulate video?..not just BPM madness and static video clips ......I'm talking the real deal....applications are endless....I use this towards Theater, Modern Dance and Independant film

Thanks Dale, I will tune in!I have only owned one yamaha and that was a DX-7...never had any problems with it...Oh yes....I have 3 Clavia units...never any problems......Love my Clavias..I will be getting the Nord Wave when it gets released!I am staying away from the new Waldorfs though....too expensive for the capabilities they promise...and since I have the Q and Xtk...well I am sitting good!

OS update helped a bit to control ..but it took 3 ION's on my side to get a unit stable to work .. even to this dayI still see it happen, a few twist and it's gone ...Yamaha s-80 and p-60 etc.. they have encoders, but they seem real stable ...PEK, it has not been a problem ... if it is there, I have not noticed it ...I tend to rate synths more like sound, then ease of use ... next "can I add to it?"sound being my number one item, always looking for that unique sound I can use in my tracks ...The PEK has a different sound from the rest of synths here. I have yet to capture it the sameon the DAW as I think the DAW isn't able to play it back ...DAW here is a motu 24 i and a presonus firebox ...well, PEK is welcomed here ...now to sort out my editors problems ... then I can really dig into it a bit further ... ;-)Hey if you tune into http://www.harboroughfm.co.uk/ right now, 2:00 pm PST 7 Apr 2007 or 10 PM UK time,to the Terry Hawke show, you might catch some of our tracks, Steve Hillman and Steve Ballard, more too ... ;-)daleInquisitor Betrayer

Synth_Programming-subscribe@yahoogroups.com----- Original Message -----From: Ravi Ivan SharmaEvery synth that I have had that has encoders, has had ones that eventuall flake out or start skipping, often earlier than wished. These include: uQ keyboard, Ensonic ASR-X, Elektron Monomachine, Machinedrum, Notron -- so far not with my 2 evolver desktops, PEK or MEK, but one day I am sure it will happen.Why? Because encoders are inherently prone to dust and use simply because of the way they work. From a mission critical point of view they all suck. But they do have very nice benefits when used with synths, don't they; but if such were so great, then it follows that the reason less than half the synths out ever use them is that they have a higher failure rate than a regular potentiometer.Rotary encoders are not cheap. Your basis to make the assertion that DS uses cheap parts based on your single experience on a synth with 70 encoders -- that you refuse to get fixed or send in--even though apparently your synth is still under warranty-- is simply not logical and based on all your other continuing grinding, seems more ill will.But yes, I completely agree that it sucks big time that 2 encoders are flaky. I am sure Dave will fix them. But it still sucks to have to send things in. I had to send my machinedrum to sweden and that really sucked!But put it into perspective.
