Athough there are cases when you might have to have your sampler or synthesizer serviced by a maintenance technician, there are many things you can do yourself to keep your gear in good order. In this video I go over some tips on how to get the most trouble free life out of your electronic musical instruments.

  • I would also like to say that dust is REALLY REALLY NOT GOOD FOR YOU. so eliminate as much dust from your life as possible. even if it's sitting INSIDE a piece of gear.

  • @0e0 That's very true!

  • nice video bro.. by the way, when do we get the results of the sampler shootout game?

  • @vegunited06 Thanks man! Very soon.

  • Just watched this again and recalled that you don't want to use alcohol-based cleaners on plastics, rubber, acrylics. Might be obvious to some people, but it will actually dissolve and ruin it. Heads up when you're wiping down your gear.

  • @scientrophic Very good point! I've seen that happen before. It will make you're gear look horrible.

  • Good advice. Subbed! ;-)

  • @scientrophic ya,.have you tried messing with looping envelops? amazing! I also like the pattern sequencer..it's really fun to jam with.i'm not sure about doing a whole tune with it though..maybe i'll try that one day.

  • @0e0 I know. The design gives me the feeling of an alien spaceship that has landed on my desk bringing a sonic vision of the future as understood by 1990's FM synthesis. The sounds it makes are like a supernova going off and evolving in my head.

  • Very nice video, my dx7 II D will get some of that soon.

    @ scientrophic....yep I know that feeling too. Paid 400$ for an asr-x black, didn't know much about them then...it was beaten on the pads with drumsticks...died on me 3 weeks after, all of a sudden, all of the switches dead.

    Peace
