![]() ![]() I could take the analogue output from the SD50 and feed it to my Laptop's input and re-digitise it into an MP3 (or WAV etc.) file. Easy! BUT, I want to record the digital audio output from the SD50 into an MP3 or WAV file. So, I used SONAR LE to play the MIDI file through the SD50 and some speakers. I'm hoping that the SD50 converts MIDI to digital audio with higher quality than my laptop does. I have a MIDI file which has a variety of General MIDI instruments. Përsonally I think to invest in a midi keyboard/controller makes more sense than using my SD 20 in todays DAW world. All this without actually doing any research on the SD 50. BTW, on the SD20 there is a Midi through (to use with a keyboard controller for example) and a stereo audio output (two cinch sockets) which are capable of taking audio to an audio device. BUT, at the end of the day, I find I really don't need the SD20 bit, as the Sonar soft synths can replace it if you use a midi keyboard. Its complicated to set up but once done it works ok. You'll need an input device (i use a PCR 800 USB) either a keyboard or PRV in Sonar, not by note. Within Sonar, once you've installed the drivers, you can choose the SD20/50 as the midi sound generator - in other words route a soft synth through it, and then on outpût it to your sound device. If the SD 50 is similar in architecture to the SD 20, which I have, its a midi generator and can, within its own editor (or via audio out sockets) generate audio sound. The output from the SD will only be as good as the audio you get from your audio device, because you have to route it through the audio device. I ,mean when the MIDI soft synth track is bounced to audio, it's done by the processor, the sound chip has no role in the process. Then again, if you are using the laptops internal soundchip leading the SD audio in, the analogue-to-digital converters are not that good, and have some negative effect on the sound quality, whereas softsynths work totally in the digital side and the soundchip has no effect on the actual sound except for the sound you monitor. It should be possible to record the SD properly. Then again, if you're used to create sounds with your Roland it's a bit frustrating to start seeking for "covers" in the jungle of hundreds of soft synths. If you can get a copy of Computer Music magazine the included CM plugin collection offers some very nice synths, not to mention the effect collection. ![]() There are lots of cheap or free soft synths around which offer tons of sounds of quite high quality. Does LE include TTS-1 soft synth? If so, that's already much better. What have you used to produce the sound otherwise? The MS Wavetable synth? That is not a good one, and it can't even be bounced to tracks as normal soft synths. That's why I found this "I created an audio track in Sonar LE and set it's input to the SD-50 "Stereo In" a little confusing. It is the output of the SD that you need to record. You're right, MIDI-connection doesn't transmit audio, but it's also more like a rule that the USB of synths doesn't transmit it either, even though it's possible and there are exceptions. (I am hoping that I will get a more realistic sound from the SD-50 than from my laptop's sound card.) I would like to use Sonar LE to play a MIDI file on the SD-50, and record the resulting sound on my PC as a wav/mp3 etc. I have a Roland SD-50 and Sonar LE (version 8.5.1.17) running on Windows Vista (32-bit). Or is this not possible - do I need to connect the SD-50 line out to the line in on my laptop's soundcard and use that to record the sound from the SD-50? Thanks Don.ĭHorrell Hi all. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong? (What does TG mean?) When I try to play or record, all I hear is the initial note from my MIDI file & it just holds that note forever. ![]() On the SD-50, I set "TG to computer" to on. Next I created an audio track in Sonar LE and set it's input to the SD-50 "Stereo In". So I have started Sonar LE, loaded a project which contains a MIDI track, set the track's output to the SD-50 and checked that it plays OK through the SD-50.

![]() ![]() Support your local snowboard shop buy locally. Over all it’s always a pleasant reminder that a meat and potatoes board can live up to the hype. It is designed to have the effective edge of a board a few centimeters longer so you do get that advantage for edge grip. A lot has changed with this board and a lot has remained the same. Personal Thoughts: Hard to believe this board has been in the K2 lineup for 10 years. Rider in Mind: Jib gypsy rail destroyer or someone just learning park. It will wash out if you center flex it too hard though. If you can’t jib this board you must suck.Ĭarving: I wouldn’t expect this board to be doing hard Euro style carves that leave a trench of destruction in its path, but it can hold an edge as long as you’re not in bumpy terrain. ![]() It locks into presses, slides rails, and bonks the crap out of trees with ease. Jibbing: This is what this board was meant to do. Would I send a 45 footer on it? Probably not unless I was sure I was landing bolts.īutterability: Oh yeah you can spread some love all over the snow with this board. Pop On Jumps: The softer flex sucks up trannies but by no means is this a jib deck you can hit jumps of small to medium variety. You don’t have to preload the tail to get the pop you want you can just go in and bam be done with it. Ollies: If you ever wanted to skateboard on snow this is one of those decks that lets you do it. In the soft snow I could feel all the variations and bumps which wasn’t the best for pointing it down a steep run. Stability: Well it is a jib stick so I wouldn’t count on it being overly stable. The only place it feels remotely stiff is under foot and that is mainly due to the bindings adding more dampening and stiffness. ![]() The tips have a lot of play as does the center of the board. It’s not the softest jib board I’ve ever been on but it is by no means stiff. There had been a little bit of snow fall over night which made the top layer of the snow sticky for a bit.įlex: It’s that well broken in and playful feel you get from a board that you’ve ridden all season. So flat between the feet and out towards the tips it rockers up.Ĭonditions: Sunny blue skies with some clouds and that warm springtime slush. The new name for the park oriented rocker that K2 is offering. Sure it’s gone through some revisions over the years, but does it still have what it takes to press a rail and slide a box? Find out how it stacks up in this review.Ĭamber Option: Freestyle Baseline. ![]()
