Hello everybody :D

I'll make a video demo of my D50+PG1000, but before, I wanted to know what do you want to know about this synth ?
It'll be great to have video demos of synths, no ? I'll do this for each synth I'll buy :D

Regards,
Nicolas

What about synths you already have? :roll:

I think that almost everybody knows a bit about D50, but one more video is very welcome :)

If you don't know what to do, I'll try to help:
Imagine that this is a brand new synth and you're showing it at upcoming NAMM show / MusikMesse / whatever similar - there you should tell us first about the basic parameters, then ... a few factory sound patches, but you can show us how to program your own patch. If you know how to send and receive sysex data - this would be very cool, cause AFAIK a few people had problems with it :)

Regards,
Mike

I'm thinking about showing you in similar way some VST instruments and sound modules. But... first I have to ask someone:
If I get a graphic video card with chipset ATI Radeon 9600 Pro and I already have a TV tuner (Leadtek Winfast PVR2000) - is it possible to connect video card with tuner and capture the video?

MODE TEST:

Le mode test permet de tester touctes les touches et boutons du D50.

Pour passer en mode test, pressez et maintenez la touche "0" (du clavier numérique), la touche "DECREMENT", et mettez le D50 sous tension.

Si lorsque vous passez en mode test, il apparait un message d'erreur "REVERB ERROR!!" ou "CHORUS ERROR!!", vous avez un des circuit imprimé (reverb ou chorus) de claqué, sinon, on arrive au menu.
Lors d'un test, pour revenir au menu, pressez "EXIT", sauf pour le test des touches (PANEL), là, pressez "SHIFT" + "PATCH EDIT".

Une fois dans le menu:
  • TEST LCD:
    • pour tester si tous les points du LCD s'éteignent, appuyez sur "PATCH EDIT"
    • pour tester si tous les points du LCD s'allument, appuyez sur "TONE DETUNE".
  • TEST MEMOIRE: pressez "KEY MODE"
  • TEST DES TOUCHES: pressez "SPLIT POINT" ce mode permet de tester toutes les touches et boutons, ainsi que la vélocité des touches.
  • TEST CONTROLEURS 1: teste le bender, le modulateur, l'aftertouch et le joystick.
  • TEST CONTROLEURS 2: teste les pédales
  • TEST CARTE: Teste la carte (j'ai pas tout compris a ce test, mais il me semble qu'il compare la mémoire du D50 et celle de la carte...?
Pour quitter le mode test, éteignez, puis rallumez le D50.

No problem, I'll make a video of a transfert of patches first, after a programmation of a sound with the PG1000 and to finish, parameters/presentation (3 différents videos)

a software exist where you can make a video of your screen, someone already use it to make a presentation of a VST, I'll ask him ;)
