Thanks to you both for your help!

Perhaps another tip -- to 'smooth' out the volume differences between patches stored in favorites, you can save the 'Favorites volume' you select via knob 4.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the response quebec88, but will that work for Performances too (Live mode 'splits / layers')? Perhaps I don't quite understand your workaround..?

<t>Hi, <br/> I've noticed that when the G is in 'Favorites' mode, and I set the Transpose down a half-step, if I switch to another patch in the favorites list, the transpose setting is reset back to '0'. <br/> <br/> Is there a way to have the G not modify my -1 transpose setting, without resorting t...

Quick question:
Essentially I'd like to play the X8's keys, but control a G7 performance split from the X. Possible? Or am I stuck using the slaved keyboard in 'single' mode all of the time?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the reply cyclops..

I attempted your suggested method without success.. I'm guessing that the default v1.20 project isn't somehow compatible with v1.30?

<t>Hello, <br/> As stated on the subject line, I followed the README steps when upgrading my G7 to v1.30. However, my v1.20 default project (the one that is on the G7 out-of-the-box) doesn't restore (i.e. the default project that comes with v1.30 remains, despite my project restore attempts). <br/> ...

My X8 has been repaired and is good-as-new. It only took the repair technician a few hours to tear things down and replace the key-bed.

Got the X in time for a gig this Saturday.. it's good to have her back!

<t>FYI<br/> A local Roland authorized tech has diagnosed the problem with my X8. He said that the key-bed's 'sub frame' was broken in two places, which was allowing the keys to sag in the middle of the board. The sagging is causing mis-alignment of the keys/hammer action in that area of the board.<b...

<r>Thanks guys for the advice. <br/> <br/> I've contacted a local repair shop, and found that they currently have a 2-3 week backlog of work. With a gig coming up in less than two weeks, I'll need to look for a good chunk of free, no-gig time to be without the X8.. <E>:(</E><br/> <br/> Thanks again,...

<t>Hello,<br/> I'm having an issue with my X8 where a few of the keys in the middle of the key bed don't 'feel' right. <br/> <br/> They (G#3, A3, & D4) all exhibit a 'spongy' feeling, and two of them click fairly loudly (not through the audio outputs) when pressed. In addition, the A3 key actual...

<t>Hey,<br/> I think I've figured this one out.. it involves some 'poor man' editing of a preset patch.<br/> <br/> Check to see if you've got a Preset called "Bending Logo". This preset sounds like the beginning of a movie when the THX logo is shown. We can use this as the foundation of the sound, s...

Cool.. You guys sounded good. I perform in a cover band as well (The Whiskey Brothers). If you're ever free some weekend, it'd be fun to meet up and talk at a show during breaks, etc... (I'm using X8, XP-80, and v-synth XT on stage..) Band website if you're interested: http://www.thewhiskeybros.com ...

<t>Hey there. You wouldn't happen to play Club Meadows (western MA) once in a while do you? If so, I've seen you guys perform before..<br/> <br/> Anyway, have you gone through the X8 factory presets for any kind of 'filter sweep' sounds? I'm sure I've come across some on the X.. then just modify the...

anyone?

Thanks!
