WHen checking the Phi in windows and the device ropertied, i find in the one that looks like a speakers this text first: "" Device USB\VID_16C0&PID_05E4&MI_00\8&1f2f804&0&0000 was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match.

Hi guys,

i have updated to 1.10 and my Phi recently worked until i tried running the edit. The edit didnt work even if i followed instructions to the letter, all i get is a grayed out UI with empby bank on the left side. Nothing i can do can change it. Any ideas? I have had this problem before with loading bank, all i did then was updating and it wirjed, now it´s not at all working..
Help!
Best

@mbang i take it back - i don´t drop the thread. I got a BSP but i don´t feel comfortable with it.. had one before, same problem there. I dont like the sequencer parts, or many other othe other functions..

I am not sure i really need so many controllers, but a decent keyboard with usb-midi and din-midi out, plus cv/gate would be nice.. Maybe the regular beatstep?

Anyway i saw a new aalesis i thin that was very nice with lots out outputs... Hmm, gotta look into that one..

@Peter-Ostry Ok thanks, well thought.ought responses from both of you. Thank you!

I actually droppped the faderfox, because a wanted something with at least playable pads. TheGot The BSP and it has i think 16 mappable encoders which fits me like a glove.

Just to let you know - i am no keyboard player. I cant play a all, in fact. It´s sad, but anyway i still like making music after 30 years so no big deal. I like to program music, experiment with sounds to get fat grooves, modulate in many ways and i think a controller with more hands-on control than what i have now with my PHI, should be perfect for me.
I still havent got the hang of using the editor at the same time as i use the DAW, but probably i just need the BSP to play and try out the new sounds as i twist and turn..

Also (it´s not my first BSP), i would prefer having the nice amount of different outputs it has. I thin i am heading to some kind if scaled down fun-fun setup, with my Phi, a Razzmatazz i just bought brand new but to a 21% discount. These twoo i can sample the hell out of.. and then i just nee some kind of decent mixer to rule them all. Maybe a bluebox.. But i would like to get one that i an use for bigger things with 10+ channels and USB multitracking straignt into my DAW..

Anyway, thread can be dropped, for now. Anything new happens, i´ll let you know. Thanks anyway for your responses, very helpful! :)

@mbang answering myself now; i´ve found that the Beatstep (Arturia) or the BSP (Beatstep Pro) ticks most of the dots in my list. The non-pro-version seems simple enough and with the most basic but vital functions that i need, so i´m kinda leaning towards it.

Also, there´s a unit called Faderfox that has a LOT of encoders, but no keyboard to play the synth with, or pads for that, i think. Plus, it´s more expensive than BS & BSP.

Please, anyone with any input? :)

Hey all,

my first post here as a new Phi owner, hi there! :) Name´s Marcus, and i am a sucker for digital synths mostly, blended in with some analog and some hybrids. Same goes for drums and i have built some euro drum modules, plus i have built a couple of hundred megacommand boxes for those that use MachineDrum.

Anyway, hello to you all! And i hope you can help me out.

To my new Phi i would like a nice controller; what i would like is something that:

• can be used as a keyboard (but dont have to be a normal keyboard, controller pads to play notes is good enough, for a couple of octaves)
• midi via DIN and USB both, and it WOULD be nice to have cv/gate outputs aswell but it´s not a must, just good to have
• enough controller encoders and such to cover most essential functions for Phi, if possible. Anyway, a lot of easily mappable knobs please

Not too expensive; 250 euro is my top limit for a brand new unit. Oh, and it can of course be DIY because i love to build musical devices..

I would REALLY appreciate recommendations! The unit should work stand-alone, and just connected to the phi via the host port.. And if it´s known to work well with BitWig, it´s a plus, since it´s my DAW of choice :)

Thanks in advance, and i will enjoy chatting with you i hope!

Cheers!
