Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I want to ask what is a 1:1 solution? Adding the contents of the bag with a gal of water makes a stock solution, so how much extra water to add to make it 1:1, 1:2 and so forth.

A: Stock solution is prepared with 1 gallon of water. After that, you can use it straight stock or mix down with water at different ratios. So, a 1:1 ratio would be made with one part stock solution and one part water. A 1:2 is one part stock solution and two parts water. So for example, if you are making 900ml of solution at 1:2 it'd be 300ml stock solution with 600ml water. I typically use diluted solution (anything other than the stock solution) as a one-shot solution, that is, one run through the tank and then disposed.

Q: 2. Whats the formula for mixing this to develop just one roll of film at a time? I dont shoot film very often and if I made the entire batch, it would expire before I used it all.

A: There's no way you can mix just a portion of the package and get consistent results. In your case a solution could be to use a liquid developer like Rodinal or T Max dev.and prepare just the needed amount when you are going to develop. Rodinal is the best option because is very concentrated and have a long shelf life.

Q: 3. The description says D-76 is suitable for push processing. Can I use it to pull film 1 stop?

A: D-76 can be used to pull or push process film. But it is mot designed for that. So, depending on the film it might not give the best results.

Q: 4. What is the shortest the stands can get for packing?

A: The minimum length of the stand for the Elgato Key Light is 22".

Q: 5. Does this music stand also install on the PC3K6 model?

A: Yes

Q: 6. Are these sold in pairs?

A: The KM21450 is a single stand.

Q: 7. isd it possible to transpose a smf in sequencer mode??

A: Yes you can transpose with your SMF in sequencer mode.

Q: 8. What are some of your speaker or monitor options for theKorg i3 ?

A: Mackie CR4 4" Woofer Creative Reference Multimedia Monitors (Pair) BH #MA204403000 • https://bhpho.to/2O9TQ0n Other recommended monitors: https://bhpho.to/38E4aVR

Q: 9. Are the map updates free or do you have to pay for them?

A: The Garmin DriveSmart 76 GPS Navigation System BH #GADS76 • MFR #010-02470-00 has free Garmin upgrades.

Q: 10. What is the largest memory card this unit can use? I have some 16, 32 & 64 gb cards. Which can i use?

[15 VDC, 2.5 A] I took a credit card hit. Couldn't afford it but I am simply dazzled by it's sound. A true gem to behold and work with. It's a great upgrade to my coffee table ipad and usb c connected op1 field. The effects alone are worth it for me. The rest are all bonuses. 5

Craig	24/08/2024
[15 VDC, 2.5 A] It's price premium, but it's premium. The battery lasts forever allowing you to really take it and not worry about it. Plus it has so much utility it can do almost anything. 5

Michael	07/08/2024
[30.71 lb] Wanted an OP-1 for many years. Purchased an original a few years ago just months of the surprise release of the Field. Finally upgraded to the OP-1 field and absolutely love it. The construction is phenomenal, with a very solid feel while staying familiar to the original design. The sound is great, especially the upgraded stereo signal path throughout. I don't love the velcro circles that come pre-adhered to the bottom of the unit (in fact I immediately removed them from mine). That said it's not a deal breaker as they come off cleanly, albeit with a bit of work. I recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade from an original OP-1, or who is considering buying one for the first time. It is a very unique machine which inspires a lot of creativity and joy. 5

The Unflattered	29/07/2024
[Yes] The Op-1 has managed to recreate a process that is immediately familiar to veteran musicians; the multitrack tape recorder. Lots of small, digital stand-alone multitrack recorders exist but, although the knobs and transport buttons remain in the traditional configuration, these devices could not seem to harness the same tactile and aesthetic feel of the real thing. The OP-1 has achieved this. The elegance of the design, both in the tactile elements AND the OLED readout have yanked the analog tradition from the jaws of the digital world. Once you learn the interface, you'll be aching to get a few minutes with the device, even if you don't have something in mind, musically. You'll just want to use it. Can't say that for most software-based recording solutions. Anyway, it's built like a tank, and has everything you need to create music, right on board; multiple synth engines, drum machines, a robust sample engine (allowing external audio, on-board mic, on-board FM radio and re-sampling), 4-track recorder, 2 mix down platters, FX and LFO, and multiple sequencers. But the simple fact is, you'll WANT to use it. This is the greatest endorsement I can think of. Well worth the price point. 5

Jamie	24/07/2024
[In, Out] What a great synth, couldnt be happier with the sound 5

Daniel	14/07/2024
[Yes] Does everything. Still diving into all it capabilities. Great sound. 5

Matthew	13/07/2024
[30.71 lb] Teenage Engineering is at the cutting edge of synth engineering - the kinds of sounds you get pre-loaded are amazing. But what really sets this instrument apart is that it's just FUN. It's playful and really draws you in - even if you're not a musician. You'll become one! Dive in. 5

Vigilante Joe	06/07/2024
[1000+] The vocoder is extremely easy to use, but, the coolest thing about the microKORG is just how versatile it is. The sounds that come out of it range from Church Organs to Daft Punk. It's also got MIDI capabilities as well. I use this for live shows and it brings the house down. 5

Jonathan	01/07/2024
[30.71 lb] I bought this for my son who has finished high school and is now entering college as a music major. He writes some pretty incredible songs using this synth for effects. He's very happy with it. 5

Dno Bravo	01/07/2024
[30.71 lb] The microKORG is so very versatile, integration into any set up is simple and full of satisfaction. I use the microKorg as an integral piece in my Recording Studio, MPC/APC Production Station and my DJ System as well. So, I have two of these and a third available for my use any time. If you Create Music the microKorg is an Invaluable tool. Dub Step, Techno, Hip Hop and Electronica producers Get one. Great for movie sound producers. The QUALITY is top of the line every time. Awesome is as awesome does. Dno Bravo 5
