Yeah , that's what I meant - sorry for bad writing I was very tired at that
moment ..
I meant that it's rather hard to puish it to move from to something , but if
you moved it from 0 then there is a big choice of coming to 127.
If they somehow made it so that AT value started going up somehow with a
lighter touch it would be better.
Does anyone know if it's much better on other keyboards ?
Yeah , SH-101 is really fun , bass is really cool , can't be compared to
AN-1x's bass. (though I love my AN-1x) Havn't yet plugged it to the VIRUS so
that I could have some FX on it , but even playing it dry was not bad.
Now if only I could find a good condition Juno106 :)
A Bit OT : Does anyone here have Waldorf Pulse ? Any comments ?
Ray.
