Spinnerdisc.com F.A.Q.I use Macromedia Flash MX for all of the cartoons. If you can get your hands on it, try it out, but it tends to be expensive (I lucked out and got a copy from my dad). If you want to learn how to use it, there're a lot of great tutorials online (picking up a book is a great idea too). One good site I'd recommend is actionscripts.org. For recording voices, I use Goldwave, but only because it was a free download and I'm not yet fed up with it begging me to register.

energyXT FAQsA - ceenda, SWTrex - Just add an energyXT VSTi to a tracktion channel. Inside eXT, right click to add in a "Sampler" component, open it up. Using the file browser (F3, or the "Browser" button), search out your soundfont files. You'll be able to expand them in the browser just like directories. Drag the "Preset" you want into the Sampler.

Related QuestionsIn the Image Synth, why do some sounds that are panned to the middle have a stereo depth?
Frequently Asked QuestionsIn Preferences, there is a preference for phase randomization. When either of the stereo modes is selected, the left and right channels will be randomized independently. The result is a pleasant chorus-like widening of the stereo field. Use one of the mono modes if you prefer to keep the left and right channels in phase. There is a problem in MetaSynth 4 that has resulted in loop points being ignored. We are working to resolve this problem.

Related QuestionsWhat are the differences amongst the Roland XV Series synth modules?
WIND CONTROLLER FAQ (UPDATED)The XV-5080 is the flagship model and has 128 note polyphony and sample loading capability. 128 note polyphony is way overkill for a wind controller. Being able to load your own samples is cool if you want to get into the intricacies of all that. The XV-3080 is similar to the XV-5080 except that it has less polyphony and no sample loading capability. The XV-5080 and XV-3080 are both 2 space rack units. Otherwise the XV-2020 or, better yet, XV-5050 are great.
