Re: VFX-SD /apex

2006-07-10 by Harry

Thank you, moderator,  for the clean-up routine in here.  I dd not 
know that the calibration issue could spark so much conversation like 
that (in intensity, I mean).
I only use the Apex stand in the studio and use the simple "X" type 
stand live and it seems to work fine.
I performed the gig last night and the unit performed flawlessly the 
entire night.  I used the custom fan unit that I built the day before 
and turned the keyboard off during the break times and it seemed to 
work just fine.  In fact, it was quite humid, and warm and the 
heatsink was cool to the touch, so I am very pleased.  
On my error codes that I got the other night, I went to Archive.org 
and looked up Ensoniq's old URL and the error codes suggested Bad 
Sequencer Data, so I will stick to that for now.  Both times that it 
failed was when I using the Multi-track recording feature and 
receiving data from my Roland XP60.
Regarding the DIY factor in the group, I think that it is great that 
there are some out there that do that sort of thing.  I can take a 
computer apart and put it back together (have formal training in 
that, as well), but when it comes to my boards, I would still rather 
pay someone who is very experienced to perform those types of tasks 
for me.  It is a fee that I am happy to pay for.

Well, again, have a good week...
