Alesis P3 Power Supply Barrel Review

Alesis P3 Power Supply BarrelThe Alesis SR-16 drum machine has to be one of the most prolific electronic devices on earth! The thing first came out in 1990, yet they're still selling. With so many in existence, it's inevitable that used ones are around to be had.

A friend gave his to me, and it's perfect for my home recording studio, as a midi pad (I'm surprised at how much NEW ones cost these days, with not that many additional features!)

No power supply, though, so I had to purchase this replacement. Great price, and it works perfectly. This is really a "step-down transformer," not an AC/DC converter, since the output is 9VAC, so it's hard to find a "generic" device.

Be sure to check to see what type of adapter your unit takes; there are different plugs available. This one is the "barrel type."

Fast Track Ultra USB 2.0 Review

Fast Track Ultra USB 2.0I paid just a little over $280 for this audio interface, and that is a really good price. This machine:
-is USB 2.0
-has 4 inputs in the front for an XLR cable or 1/4" jack (mic and guitar)
-supplies phantom power (essential if you use a condenser microphone)
-has really good quality pre-amps
-has two separate inputs for the headphones (which you can control separately, if you want)

Also, it comes with a version of Ableton Live Lite.

In general, it is easy to install (I use Windows XP) and to operate.

The control panel is not particularly useful if you use Ableton, since you can control everything from Ableton.
By the way, the only glitch I encountered was that the control panel did not open properly, so I called support and they told me it is a problem they are trying to fix. If you encounter the same problem, it can be resolved this way:
Start > Run > type 'regedit' > scroll down on the left of the window until you find 'M-Audio' > open 'MAUSBFTUCpl' > delete 'MAUSBFTUCpl'.

P.S. I had to contact the support after I switched to a new laptop running Windows 7, and I must say their online customer support is simply awful. I think they are awful on purpose, so one will call their phone support. In fact, after the first 30 after purchase, all calls to customer support are $2.50/minute. Ridiculous.

Then open Control Panel > double click on M-Audio Fast Track Ultra, and the control panel will open just fine.

M-Audio DCP-300 Advanced Digital Console Piano (Rich Walnut) Review

M-Audio DCP-300 Advanced Digital Console PianoAfter reading reviews of similar items this one addressed some issues that were identified as disappointing. It is heavily built and there are no plastic foot petals - they are metal. It has an 11 inch deep top shelf that will hold a lamp (the key board extends out another 8 inches). It has a fold-up music stand. It is very handsome and appears solid and 'meaty' as a furniture piece. The sliding lid is solid. The finish is rich and textured. There is a full sized 'modesty panel' that is also a structural advantage in stabilizing the legs. The metal foot petals are fixed with heavy plastic covers to protect them and provide a wearing surface. The set-up is simple - but its Heavy so prepare two people to lift the top piece. We assembled ours upside down on the couch where we could protect it and then roll the finished piano over on its feet. The components are also 'meaty' (I'm growing to hate the word Robust and refuse to use it). Its components are simple and direct. It has associated composing software and will accept MIDI files, etc.It SOUNDS GREAT. The notes last like piano notes do and all play together without interrupting one another. The keys are weighted realistically. The two speakers fill the room we have it in - I'm not going to address the finer qualities of sound because I'm not a musician. The M-Audio WEB site has a demo. I'm very, very pleased with the quality of construction and the person playing it thinks its a wonderful way to enjoy the piano.

M-Audio Keystation 88ES Midi Controller Review

M-Audio Keystation 88ES Midi ControllerI'm an amateur musician, and I always wanted a big keyboard, something close enough to a piano, but the big keyboards were always so expensive. In top of that, they always come with lots of knobs and features that I never wanted to learn or try. I just wanted a piano-like keyboard to play.

When I saw this keyboard for first time, I loved its 'minimalistic' style: no knobs, no screens, no buttons. Just the 88 keys and the minimum necessary controllers (3 buttons, 2 wheels and 1 slider), all in a beautiful and solid silver case. When I checked its price, I suspected maybe its quality was poor, but I had good references for the M-audio brand. So I decided to give it a chance and I'm still very proud of my purchase: just plugged it into the usb port of my PC and it was inmediately recognized. I was using FL Studio, but right now I'm trying Sonar and it works flawlessly. The keys offer some resistance to pressure, so it almost feel like piano keys.

If you're interested on this keyboard, I strongly recommend it. But if you don't to know that much of keyboards (and you don't want to, anyway), you have to know this keyboard is not a exactly a toy, nor is the kind that comes with lots of sounds and rythms. It is a controller, which means you have to use some kind of software or synth device for it to produce any sound. If you know exactly what you're buying, I don't think you will ever regret of buying this keyboard. It's great!

Product Description:
If you appreciate the full range of a piano keyboard in a lightweight package, the 88-note Keystation 88es is for you. You get great-feeling, semi-weighted action that's velocity-sensitive, to convey all the nuances of your playing to your computer and most popular music education and studio software. The pitch and modulation wheels plus slider and buttons make it a great controller for playing and programming synths, samplers, drum sounds and more. At just 22 lbs., the Keystation 88es is equally at home on stage and in the studio. Class compliancy with Windows XP, Vista (32 bit), and Mac OS X ensures easy plug-and-play setup. It's even bus-powered, so one simple USB cable is the only connection you need.

88-Key Semi-Weighted USB MIDI Controller



Pitch bend and modulation wheels are ideal for controlling synths, samplers, etc.
Easily assign the control slider to different parameters of sound modules or software.
88-note velocity-sensitive, semi-weighted action
88 keys means no constant hitting of an octave switch, an annoyance with smaller controllers. The semi-weighted action gives you a piano feel, and since it's velocity sensitive, your dynamic playing is accurately sent as data.
Pitch bend and modulation wheels
These are ideal for controlling synths, samplers, etc.
Volume/assignable control slider
Easily assign the control slider to different parameters of sound modules or software, for further control over your sound.
Advanced function button for programming
When the Advanced Functions button is pressed, the keyboard goes into "Edit Mode." In Edit Mode, the keys on the keyboard are used for selecting functions and entering data. Black keys are used for selecting functions, while the white keys are used for data entry and channel selection.
Sustain pedal input (pedal sold separately)
Add a sustain pedal, such as the M-Audio SP-1, for piano-like pedal control of your notes' duration.

Easily interface with most MIDI software using the built-in USB MIDI interface. The standard MIDI "out" jack routes MIDI signals from the keyboard or computer to your external devices.
USB Powered
The 88es grabs power from the USB port on your computer. You can also purchase a 9VDC power adapter.
Mac OS X and Windows XP class compliant
Enjoy plug-and-play operation with both Mac OS X and Windows XP. Ableton Live Lite music production software is included, so you can make music right away on either platform.

Williams Symphony Elite Digital Piano Review

Williams Symphony Elite Digital PianoMy 8 year old son has been taking piano lessons for almost 2 years and has a real talent for it.His piano teacher uses a Casio keyboard that has a foot pedal attached.She kept advising me that he needed a pedal for his keyboard to sustain notes.His Casio "Magic Light" keyboard was purchased 10 years ago as a birthday present for my husband (which he never used). It works great, but doesn't support a foot pedal.Also, the cheaper keyboards do not duplicate the "hammer-action" weighted response of keys on a real piano.Lastly, a full-size keyboard is 88 keys, but ours had only 60 something. I was having a discussion with his piano teacher as to my options.Buying a new piano was out of the question; we're talking 10-20 thousand dollars.However, you can purchase second hand pianos for a few thousand dollars, or "adopt" a used piano for nothing but the cost of having it delivered.A guitar teacher overheard us and offered a wonderful alternative: a digital piano.As he said, "It looks like a real piano, it sounds like a real piano, but it doesn't cost as much as a real piano."He advised us to visit a Cafe next store which had a digital piano in the back.We did, and it was a Yamaha digital piano.It had a brown wood finish and an understated beauty.I immediately was excited and would have gone out that day to buy one.My son was not equally excited, however.It did not look like a real piano to him (which he still wanted).I went online and looked at other brands of digital pianos and noticed the "Williams Symphony Elite Digital Piano."My son was hooked when he saw this one.It looks very much like a real piano.I purchased it online (it costs $899 at virtually any site you order it from).There are two other models: the Williams Console digital piano, which looks to be a regular digital piano with no bells and whistles and it looks like black wood; the next level one is the Williams Overture 88-key digital piano.It has all sorts of digital effects and also has the black wood.The Williams website compares the "Overture" model and the "Symphony Elite" model as the difference between driving a Cadillac and a Bentley. You're paying a few hundred extra for the glossy black finish, more digital effects, etc.Not knowing much about the technical details, I decided to go with the "Bentley" of the Williams line, the Symphony Elite.I would rather spend a little extra and have a piano that will last my son for several years as he expands his technical knowlege.The piano arrived two days ago.My husband said it was delivered curbside by UPS Roadway.This is because the box is quite heavy.He had to open the box in our sunporch and carry pieces upstairs to our second floor individually. I wasn't home when he assembled the piano, but he had no complaints of it being difficult.When he called me at work after assembling it, he referred to it as being a "monstrosity".It measures approximately 55 inches across the top. It has a glossy black finish like a grand piano.The music rest is gorgeous.It has a stainless steel "W" logo on it.There are two shiny brass little wands that can be pulled up to support your songbook or music sheets.This is a great improvement over the steel wire that didn't hold up much of anything on his old Casio Magic Light.Also, there is the delightful keyboard cover that slides out over the keys, again, just like a real piano.Finally, there are the three foot pedals identical to a real piano.Just as a piece of furniture, it is aesthetically beautiful.I don't pretend to know all of the technical details (you can find them listed under the piano picture above), but it has over a hundred voices, effects, demos, computer connectivity via USB, and the ability to record yourself. Hidden discreetly under the piano to your left are jacks for using headphones,USB/MIDI and to plug in a microphone. It also has a metronome.My son sounds great when he uses the church organ voice.The beauty of this piano is not only in its appearance, but in the freedom to enjoy the various effects of a keyboard.When my son plays this piano, it looks like I should put a candelabra on top of it!He is very happy, because he feels like he is playing a real piano.

Yamaha YPG535 88 Key Portable Grand Piano with Power Supply Review

Yamaha YPG535 88 Key Portable Grand Piano with Power SupplyNice keyboard, nice sound, feels like a real piano and it's got all the keys. I like that it includes a nice, stable music rest, keyboard stand, footswitch and power adaptor.

Lots of features too: fun sounds, (drum, maracas, bongos, etc. plus sound effects like phone, ufo, dog barking, etc)

It has a super metronome which you can adjust the tempo of, set the number of beats per measure, adjust volume, etc.

It records your performance which is nice, so my piano teacher can play something she wants me to learn, record it, then I can replay that when I'm practicing.

More features, too many to mention... If you'd like to start with something smaller or something less expensiv, I'd check out a Casio keyboard.

M-Audio DCP-200 Digital Console Piano with Premium Sounds, Graded Hammer Action and Built in USB Interface Review

M-Audio DCP-200 Digital Console Piano with Premium Sounds, Graded Hammer Action and Built in USB InterfaceFor the past 4 months I had been searching for a reasonably priced digital piano that interfaced well with a computer and finally I settled on M-audio's dcp200 and I couldn't be happier.I really took a gamble on this piano because all I could find was one very short review of the piano.A couple of years ago I had a yamaha clavinova and while I really liked the piano, this piano is better in so many ways.

First off, the piano looks beautiful; I have the darkgrain model and it blends in with my house really well and it looks very rich.When we first got the piano put together I was slightly dissapointed with the key action, my wife assured me that it just needed to be played a little bit and it would feel better.Boy was she right, I've had the piano for 3 weeks now and it feels great, the hammer action is just right.

The sound on this piano is phenominal as well, I was skepital of 20 watt speakers but this piano gets nice and loud and still sounds great.There are 8 different instruments you can play on it which is slightly dissapointing, they probably could have included more for not too much more cost, but the instruments all sound good.The response of the piano is great and allows you to really feel the music you are playing and let you forget that you are not playing an acoustic piano.

If the piano had just the features I had talked about it would still be a great but this piano has much more. The piano comes with a cable to hook it up to your computer as well as software to record your music on the computer. It also comes with a cable to hook up a mp3 player directly to the piano and it has a knob to control the volume of the music input so you can easily play along with your favorite music.It also has 2 headphone jacks.

The piano is simple enough for beginners but advanced enough for people that know a lot about computers and electronics.It also comes with an incredibly detailed guide to show you how to use all the advance features this piano has.

I truly cannot give this piano enough praise, if you are reading this and haven't decided on a piano buy this one. Also I recommend the m-audio piano bench, its super comfortable and looks great. I promise I'm not affiliated in anyway with M-Audio and am not being paid to write this review.Buy the piano and write your own review, you won't be dissapointed.

Also right now M-audio has a mail in rebate where they will send you a set of headphones (retail is over [...]) as well as 3 music books of your choice.I'm still waiting to get mine but am excited nonetheless.

Yamaha NP30 Portable Grand Piano Review

Yamaha NP30 Portable Grand PianoBefore detailed remarks, here is my reference point.Having been spoiled with playing real pianos (I should say "acoustic", for PC :), I wanted a keyboard just to enjoy some classical music on my own, at my amateur level.I wanted it to be like a piano (in how it feels and sounds) but small and inexpensive.

PROS:

PORTABILITY - especially for an (almost) full-size keyboard.I really didn't want another piece of furniture.NP30 just lies on the table, which (to my own surprise) ended up as the deciding factor for me.YMMV.

SOUND.All the voices (including grand piano, organ, harpsichord) are well done and beautiful.(But see "CONS" below.)

KEY WEIGHTING.NP30's keys are something like "semi-weighted" and "touch sensitive" (but consult the official specs on this) and somewhat easy to press.But see "CONS" below.BTW I researched this "weighted" topic quite a bit and tried several options, but my practical conclusion is this.If you care about the feel, go more high-end or get the real thing (an acoustic piano, that is).Otherwise you will likely get used to what you have, even though it isn't perfect.

SIMPLICITY.The controls are few and quite intuitive.

PRICE.It's all relative, of course, but compared to other full-size keyboards out there, it's among the cheapest - $300 at Best Buys.(And that's without any sale discounds - Best Buys felt kinda thin on sales to me.)

CONS:

KEY WEIGHTING.While offering you an approximation of an acoustic piano's feel, NP30's keys are not quite there.First, they are hard to press if you place your fingers far from the edge of the key (i.e. towards the back of the keyboard) - I have never noticed this on an acoustic.Second, in some cases when I press several keys at once, NP30 doesn't sense one or two of them, whereas an acoustic piano would.I have to re-adjust the pressure to get NP30 to play them.

SOUND.While individual sounds are beautiful, their combinations may not parallel the richness of an acoustic piano's.This is probably because there is no is no resonating effect between the various strings.(Which is quite understandable at this price level.)

FEATURES (missing).The ones I cared about: additional voices (NP30 only got 10) and the 12 keys for the full-size 88-key keyboard.Again, it's all about a trade-off against portability and price.

ACCESSORIES (missing).Power adapter and the sustain pedal are not included, and Best Buys charges $25-30+ for each.This is a RIP-OFF, people.For power, look around; maybe you have a compatible one already (12V, 1500 mA, negative is outside) - or use rechargeable batteries.And maybe you are fine without the pedal (I am still to answer that question for myself).
