Hey thanks, Brain
I am having trouble figuring out how to assign my Nektar controller functions in B-3x.
Nektar is mapped to Studio One, and all the Studio One synths work automatically.

Part of the issue is that for the last few days, I have been updating everything on my computer, and I am a bit tired. Many hours of reloading all the Native Instruments to a new drive. Also, I had to solve internet issues with Comcast.

I got the first slider mapped to the first drawbar but can not seem to repeat the process.

I hooked up three keyboards and can control both manuals and the foot peddles. I don't have a MIDI expression peddle yet. Three keyboards are too hard to operate, and as I was never able to kick the foot peddles on a real B3, so there was no big loss with that issue.

There is a company, OBEDIA, that does Studio One training that I want to try tomorrow. A bit pricy at $120 per hour and some longer-term plans at 69 cents a minute. They should be able to show me how to connect everything in thirty minutes and answer a few other questions.
Has anyone here used them?

I have wanted a genuine B3 for a long time but they cost a lot of money. I do now have the space to own one, but it's pretty serious bucks.

Also, the IK software really sounds good, better than I thought it would.

Of course, nothing I can build with the software will physically play like a real B3, but it has been a long time since I played a real B3, and all the muscle memory is probably gone in any event.

All of these current endeavors related to music are being driven by health issues. Too old to fly airplanes safely. I still run my boat in the ocean but even that is getting more difficult.

At some point, staying home and playing music will perhaps be all I have left to do that I can get excited about.

Getting old is OK and sort of cool but the pain that comes along with age is a real PITB!...lol

Cheers,

Billy
