    Without a doubt, the best UA-cam video on the keyboard. I've been looking for a video this good for 2 days, THANK YOU!! Definitely buying this asap.

    I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE USING THIS CONTROLLER WITH "STUDIO ONE" I AM USING THE SAME EXACT PROGRAM. I HAVE GOTTEN SO TIRED OF TRYING TO MAKE BEATS WITH JUST THE MOUSE. GREAT REVIEW!

    I bought the 49 key version of this and I'm waiting for it in the mail. This video was great though, because it reassured me of what "velocity-sensitive" really meant in terms of a keyboard, which was the only doubt I really had. Great video.

    I was thinking of using it for drums and some cool instruments that I don't own (for example,the cello), so I think it will fit just perfect for that purpose. Thank you!

    I got it on ebay, but it was displayed is a Qx25, not a Q25. A little bit strange, but it's still fantastic!

    Thank you so much for this enlightening piece. So, may I ask, when we all are essentially owning a PC these days, is it wiser to buy a MIDI Keyboard controller instead of a full blown synthecizer?

  • @HomeTracks
    @HomeTracks  11 років тому

    does the SR 16 have a USB interface? I would check the manual of both.. find them by searching on google.

  • @liquidsheaven
    @liquidsheaven 12 років тому

    are you able to send midi out from your DAW with this? i know the keyboard works good but i can't get it to send midi through the midi out after i record it, only works with the physical keyboard

  • @HomeTracks
    @HomeTracks  12 років тому

    @strictpolicy i havent' tried it but i'm not sure why you would want to send MIDI from your DAW to this keyboard. it's not a synth and has no sound modules. I only use it connected via USB as a keyboard controller.

  • @HomeTracks
    @HomeTracks  12 років тому +1

    @themusicgamer14 if you can get for a good price then it's really a no brainer. it's a "no frills" keyboard so don't expect to control your DAW with it. I plan to use this for bass lines, drums and one handed chords. for simple stuff like that it should work great.

    Hey there! I liked the video a lot!
    I'm thinking of buying one of these for use with GarageBand. Would you recommend this?

  • @HalfGermanBeats93
    @HalfGermanBeats93 11 років тому

    Hey!
    I bought one of these and will be using it with Studio One and a Presonus 1818VSL.
    Can you assign the rotary knobs on the keyboard to control effect variable's in the Studio One software..?
    E.g. use the 1st rotary to control the amount of delay feedback on an instrument channel..?
    Cheers

  • @HomeTracks
    @HomeTracks  12 років тому

    1. a PC or Mac with at least 512G of disk space and a fast processer
    2. a USB or Firewire audio interface. This encodes analog to digital (voice, instruments, etc. I use a Presonus AudioBox 22VSL but there are many others.
    3. DAW software. DAW = Digital Audio Workstation. There are many of these Studio One, ProTools, Logic are a few of the popular DAWs. You usually get a copy of a lite version of a DAW with your USB Interface.
    4. instruments, mics and cables to plug them into your interface
