The TX16W is going pretty cheap and the disks are directly readable by the

I hope it's not too late.  From what I have read and been told, hearing
loss caused by excessive volume is permanent.  However, I would
recommend that you have your ears tested by a medical person
(audiologist?) and get prescription for custom made ear plugs.  A mold
is made of your ears, and the factory makes one pair of plugs
specifically for you.  The plugs will cost around $200, which is a small
price to pay it it helps to reduce the exposure to loud sounds, and
further damage to your ears.

Hello everybody!

Five years ago, I played on a Yamaha DX-7. I know there should be some
kind of sound module or rack version (I don't know how to name it).

What's the name of such a DX-7 sound module (19")?

Are there any multi-timbral DX-7 modules (where you can play e.g. 8 different
sounds at the same time via midi)?


Thank you,
Martin.

Glad you asked. (The punters are of course welcome to try their hands as well.)

Let's talk early Junos: 60, 106. I've played around with the Juno 60
pretty extensively, but am unfamiliar with the 106. Sonically, how does
the 106 measure up to the 60? And for that matter, how does the JX3P
compare? I am in love with the Juno 60's sound: 8 resonant filters all
going SSSHHHIOOOOUUUWWWWMMM, low grumbling sawtooth wave clusters, 
smeary noisy built-in chorus in two count them two exciting varieties.
But no MIDI. So, do the other Roland polythings come anywhere near close
in mythic qualities so that I can avoid Neeeding this Juno-60?

And, barring that, anyone got a MIDI->DCB box they're not using? Ack.

i purchased one about 4 months ago...well, about 8 weeks ago it started
acting crazy, like pitch-bends at random, volume changes at random, mod
at random...so i took it back to the dealer, to find out that Emu will
not send a board out to field repair it, and it must go back to the
factory...they aren't allowing it (at the present) to be field repaired...
well, it's been 7 weeks at Emu....and it probably had about 100 hours
(MAX) of use....i hope this isn't a sign of things to come...

otherwise, it does sound great....the piano sound isn't really that good,
if you're interested, but the other sounds make up for it...i'll probably
throw in the update as well...as soon as i get it back!

I use CakeWalk for Windows *3.1* (their Windows version won't run under
3.0).  It is great.  There are some sync problems if that will cause you
trouble, but I've heard that MasterTrack Pro has had some difficulties
in this area as well.

CakeWalk for Win has all the features of CakeWalk Pro 4.0 plus the advantage
of MS-Windows.  It uses a shared driver for your 401 or whatever so you
can simultaneously run editing software or even another sequencer and
Windows deals with conflicts.

I've seen CakeWalk sold in several music stores here in the Bay Area, so
I would think that you could find it wherever you are.

If not, Twelve Tone Systems will sell it to you direct.  They have an
800 number (if you are in the US).  If you need phone/FAX/address for them
I can give it to you.  (I'm at the office and don't have that stuff here.)

Great, there's a whole resource here that I've been ignoring all this time.

You see, I've got this problem. If you have a number of (say) ping-pong
balls in a box ("a number" hereafter referred to as 'N'), and they are
valued some way (e.g. lighter is better), how many do we have to select
(with replacement) before the probability that we have chosen the optimum
is 0.5?

Could one of the PhD statisticians out there send me the expression please?
I'll post a summary to the group.

Thanks in anticipation,

Organization: Extended Bulletin Board Service

   First off, the MQ question applies to all MPU-401 compatables.  They
always, to my knowledge, default to "echo on" when they power up.  I
use SPG, which turns echo off when it gets started.  I usually run my
WS-1 in "LOCAL OFF" mode, which makes it so that I only hear sounds from
the WS-1 if it happens to be playing a sound on the MIDI channel that is 
getting transmitted from my computer to its MIDI in!...and I also only
hear the other instruments in my "thru chain" if they are listening for
the MIDI channel that is being sent from the computer....SPG allows you
to not only turn off or on echo (SHFT. F9), but you can re-map channels.
   Anyway, if you play a keyboard with its local on, it will internally
generate the sound, then, after whatever delay your computer generates,
it will be called to re-sound it, giving you a fairly "thick" sound
usually.
     Thanks all who sent advice on the A-80.  Apparently there is something
more wrong with this guys system than we are seeing.   I may have to bring
some of my tools over to get it straight, because I know we tried all the
things suggested.
     Finally... MY WAVESTATION, so Rich says, will be shipped UPS Blue, to
get here early next week....Yes, A BRAND NEW WS-EX will be shipped to me
as a replacement for that possesed thing which they picked up over two
weeks ago...then let it set in their stupid shipping dept. for a week....
Apparently they don't pay very close attn. to the RG#.  They said they 
lost track of it because they picked it up at a different address than
the one they had down for me.....looks like they are getting better, but
maybe ...a few eeensiiiee  weeeencieee bugs to work out in shipping...

Don't think so.  The Proteus/2 alrready has 8 meg of waveforms.  The
stock Proteus/1 has 4 meg, which the E-Mu orchestral expander
increases to 8 with selected samples from the /2.  When the /1 is
expanded, it generates more heat and needs a 2-space rack adaptor to
leave space between it and other modules, just as the /2 does.

>What about "3rd party" ROM upgrades?

Again, I only know of one for the Proteus/1--the Protologic board
from InVision, which adds 4 meg of more pop/rock oriented waves.
I haven't done anything about upgrading my /1--just dunno if I want
to pour another $400 into the same blasted box.

I just recently purchased Cubase (under the impression that it had the
full functionality of the Atari version) and I don't agree !

Today I went to download a sysex dump to my synth and I couldn't find anyway of 
doing it in Cubase - Cakewalk has a sysex librarian built in.

Perhaps Cubase for Windows is good as a pure sequencer but in my opinion it
is not as good an all-round package as Cakewalk.

Which package are you talking about here ? I didn't see any copyright 
protection on Cubase - I made a backup as soon as I got the software and
I then installed it from the backup. I found the installation a bit 
unusual though - you have to exit Windows before installing.

I recently got a four track so now I'm doing vocals plus synths stuff and
starting to try my hand at "produced" masters (in the past I did mostly live
work, so I use my sequencer compose and produce rough versions that I could
hand to the muscians in the band).  All the articals I read suggest getting a
compressor, both for the initial recording the vocal track, as well as for the
entire mix when going to DAT (yes? no?).

Anyway, so what's a good compressor?  The Alesis 3630? ($249 at Guitar Center)
