V-Synth screen question (and a couple more)

Ughhh! no responses. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Maybe my english is worst than I thought.

"V-Synth screen question (and a couple more)
Hi, the local store has a V-Synth XT that I've been testing. It's awsome.
But I have a couple of questions.
The demo unit has some slight vertical banding in the screen. It is more
noticiable when the screen is dimmed. Not a big issue, but I wander if
this is normal. I've never seen this pattern in a LCD, But I used to have
an VS1880 which screen was neither as clean a a norma labtop TFT.
They will receive new units in a month or so, but I'm so impressed
that I want to have it as soon as possible. Should I take the demo unit? "

I don't see this on my screen. Ask for a discount.

" Another question, I've read in the forum that the control mode is not
available during resampling. I supose that the behaviour of the
TimeTrip path and D-beam can be replicated via some external Midi controller. I mean using a set of knobs in my Remote 25 to generate
MIDI CC that produce the equivalent effect. Is this correct? "

No idea. I suspect that won't work though.

" Last question. I have an stick which is MIDIfied. I would like to
use the Audio output of the stick as the source for one of the oscilators
(external input). If I understand correctly the V-synth will not output
any sound unless a note is triguered via a keyboard. Is this correct?
My idea is to use the same note triggered via MIDI from the stick.
This way I can modulate one oscilator (extenal input) with the other
(triggered by the MIDI note). Is someone using this setup. I think
probably I'm missing something. "

Yes, a note needs to be playing to get sound output.
You can use the high tech solution of a piece of gaffer tape holding down a key.
Triggering it via midi will work fine too. I sometimes plug midi keybaords and their audio outs into the v and use it like that.
Is the 'stick' a midified Chapman stick? Plugged into v-synth?
This I have to hear.

Thank you!

I'm happy to hear that the screen problem doesn't appear in other
V-Synths. Not knowing the cause of the banding in the demo unit
I will have to wait until end of March for a new one. Patience..

Yes, the stick is a Chapman Grand Stick (12 strings). The melody side
has a GK pickup fitted by Chapman. I used it with a VG-88 for extra tones
and to trigger a virus rack via a GI-10. Very flexible. Usually everything
is routed to a couple of echoplexes for live looping. One of the
main interest in the V-Synth is the possibility of applying Variphrase to
the loops and modulate then in real time with other oscillator. Plus the
step sequencer,...The echoplexes allow only for half-speed and reverse playing.

I will post some bit of music when I get the V-Synt XT
