TNRi iPad - SECRET APP GLITCH / FEATURE! - Valse De Gilclee - MELODIC IDM Ambient

YouTube Uploaded by VJFranzK on Oct 21, 2011

"Can you figure it out? This strange track uses a nonstandard technique to produce sonic glitches at several points through the song. Hint: It's not changing the tempo ( which I only do at the very end. ) I think I am the first to discover, or film this trick on YouTube? It's called a Valse because it ( at least begins ) in 12 beat timing.

Sorry my hands are blocking the view in some parts, but I can't exactly make them transparent ;-) This requires multiple fingers to do it well, and can't easily be done on the Hardware Tenori due to the difference in menu systems."

Roland D-50: Key contact cleaning/Velocity issue

"HI :) TAKING ANY SYNTHESIZER APART WILL EXPOSE RISKS TO THE SYNTHESIZER AND THE USER! ALWAYS COMPLETELY UNPLUG D-50 FROM A POWER SOURCE BEFORE OPENING D-50. IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR IN TAKING SYNTHS APART, DO NOT ATTEMPT. ANY REPAIR/MAINTENANCE IS AT YOUR RISK. Synthesizers are computers with circuit boards, power supplies/transformers, wires and other sensitive electronic components!.

Here is a short video about how to get to the keys of D-50, and an effective way to clean the contacts to resolve the classic D-50 velocity issue. I was asked by a few people about the velocity issue and I thought I would make a short video about what I normally do to fix my D-50. When I bought my D-50 years ago, it had velocity issues on almost every key and the paper tabs just above the sensors were dirty and no where near the white color they are now.
D-50s are just sensitive to dust when it comes to the keys and the contacts. I only removed about 6 keys for this video to save time.
So, if your D-50 is having the typical velocity levels of 127, a good cleaning with rubbing alcohol will help. If after a good cleaning doesn't solve the issue, consider taking D-50 to a tech who can troubleshoot the problem further.

Please feel free to leave questions. :)
