That would be great! Usability with a computer would be individualized by overwriting the templates would add value to the function of the Baloran River.

Hi,

As a Mac user, I still can't overwrite or edit the templates stored on the Riverkey. As far as I know you need the RiverKey Profile Manager, which only exists for PC. If I am wrong, how do I save for example the template 2 (2 Splits 4+4 Voices active), so that this is always the source set to "All" when loading? I have this template nonsensically set to "River". Every time I want to use the computer or an external keyboard, I have to set it manually from "River" to "All". An independent overwrite on the River without software, would complete the device in its self-sufficient function. Were there any firmware-updates? Thanks for your tips!

Ohh 😮! Than this post is obsolete!

Do you have a problem with the two pots on the right side of the keyboard? Do they always skip a parameter? Then the command S and the highest "b" on the keyboard (2stp/4stp) will help you.  I have accidentally adjusted this once, so that the two pots suddenly seemed to be defective. Can happen quickly as a beginner, if you just press around. Have fun with the River!

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a list of undocumented S-Key commands. Just by accident I discovered on Gearslutz that my problem with my two pots on the right side of the keyboard can be fixed with the command S and highest "b" (2stp/4stp). Since I'm slowly going through (except for CV/Gate possibilities on the River), I'm actually asking for new users of the River. Exactly this thing with the 2/4stp can be done by randomly pressing the S and just one of the undocumented commands. A list would be of great help here. Thanks for the feedback!

I have just seen, this is possible, when you reset or reset&loop the dlfo. Great! I love it!

Hi,

would be great to have the Motion-Sequencer without recording a (musical) note. This brings additional  "kind of BPM-Synced-LFO's" to the River. You start the Motion-Sequencer, but it plays only the motion. A feature that I really like in the Korg Minilogue XD. Wold be great to have this on the River :-)

It's always nice when you can answer your own questions. musically speaking, this is called feedback :-)  If the pitch bend wheel does not work, simply perform a calibration (S-Key -> C8). I thank myself for the information.  :o :P :)

Hello, my pitchbend wheel has no effect on my keyboard playing on the river. When I move it, the pitch does not change. Under "options" "Bandrange" is set to 6. no matter if set to 12, the pitchbend wheel remains without function. since i'm not the pitchbend type, i noticed this only after owning the river-synth for over a year, that i never found a note in the manual explaining the function of the pitch wheel in more detail. where do i activate this bitch wheel??? thanks for any hints!

I'm interested in the EEPROM too! Nice to hear that!!!

This would be great! I mean it would be good for learning when you implement it one day :-)

I would like to say thank you that someone took so much time and muse to create this instrument. There are many synthesizers out there, but only a few reach the soul. The River does and it touches you in the right place! The synth engine, the reverb, the chorus (triko) together make a unit that makes a lot of sense and is easy to use. I think it's extraordinary that somebody can do something like this on his own, considering how many employees Moog has, for example! Of course you can't compare apples with pears, but for me the most important thing is how something sounds and there don't seem to be the trained ears in various manufacturers to check that. There's another feature and there's another effect - but does it really sound better or did you just do something for marketing to finally have a sales argument? Either way, the River hit the selling point of the beautiful sound! A modern classic with meaningful contemporary additions without compromising the sound. This allows a composition to be given much more depth and with a thin arrangement the sound alone can speak for itself. Simply beautiful!

Thanks Mr. Baloran :-)

Me too! Step-Motion Sequencer!!!

Hello, I'm getting used to it the River more and more. Slowly I'm getting to the Triko. Question: is there a possibility to read the data status? It would be great, of course, if the encoders were touch-sensitive and then immediately indicated the value of the preset. Of course this is not possible :-) Nevertheless - is there a command about shift or something like that? This would make programming easier, especially if existing presets are to be analyzed. You quickly learn what the programmer has done. Thanks for the input!

Thanks and great to read that! I was to much into learning the river, that I overseen this information. sorry. I love the River! So charming Sound!!!
