Well.  We've gotten together and done a trial run of my Joysticks For 
Analog Control Interface.  (Temporary name.  I may use something like 
'Bob' when it's completed.  Suggestions?).
Aside from a minor bug, it worked very well, and we proceeded to make the 
most hellish sounding noise, that has ever come out of this studio.
And, it was recorded.  And recorded again, 3 nights later.
 
ANyone interested in the results of these recordings (which we are going 
to try and sell on consignment at a local used record store), can have a 
copy free by sending me a tape.  What ever length of tape is sent, will 
be filled.
 
Warning:  This is NOT NORMAL MUSIC.  This is HEAVILY PROCESSED PAIN!  :)

Does anyone out there have any information about the new E-mu MPS Plus

Please reply via e-mail.  I will post a summary if there is sufficient
interest.

(I screwed up in a previous post where I asked for info on the MPS instead

Moog string filter.  I had read this in print many times without getting it.
I always thought it was some filter that gave great string sounds.  Can 
anyone describe the innards of the Moog string filter?

Comments: To: uunet!auvm.american.edu!synth-l@uunet.UU.NET

I'm using Cakewalk for Windows and I'm trying to dump all the info from the
SQ-2 and then reload it.  It seems that I can get all the info, but when I
go to restore it, I always get "Sysex error" in the middle of the transmission.
This error is reported by the SQ-2.  My SR-16 had no problems with sysex and
Cakewalk.  Has anybody got the sysex dump (actually the restore) working
reliably on the SQ-2?  Perhaps this is something I'm going to need to talk to
Ensoniq about...

It's not the additional algorithms themselves that give the SY much more
power, it's the addition of MULTIPLE feedback loops which can be routed
between ANY oscillators in the algorithm.  In addition, there are several
waveforms to choose from besides sine waves.

I think increased resolution is negligable.  The filters are very nice,
but only really enhance the sound and don't really give you too much more
uniqueness.  They do allow for the obnoxious highly resonant filter sweeps
though, which would be very hard to come close to with pure FM.

I would have to disagree.  I have awesome analog sounding FM-ONLY SY77-
specific patches, that I don't believe are due to the filters, but the
additional feedback loops.

So far ... I've only seen RAM for patches and setups.  No sample RAM.
I'm not going to buy the 88 key version if its the only one with sample

The Roland JV-80 (essentially a digital sample player) has portamento.

The portamento works in polyphonic as well as monophonic (or `solo')
mode. Of course, it behaves rather strangely in poly. mode...

I believe the JV-80 is recent keyboard (not more than a year or so old?).

	Boy, did I clean up today:  After 10 years of searching I finally
found a copy of the original FM Direct to Disc.  I have 3 copies of the
most common pressing, the one with cuts 4 and 2.  But, the original copy I
heard was different then the ones I later purchased.  For an explanation,
see my previous post.
	Now, I have an original Labyrinth Records cut of this with the
originally selected cut 4 and 4.  It is really exciting to hear the other
version of side B!  Picked it up for $5.65!!!
	I also ended up with a mint Synergy Cords in clear for $5.21!!
A copy of the very rare Noctournal Earthworm Stew, the first album Nash
was ever on.  I now own 3 copies of the 500 that were pressed!!  I also
picked up a couple awesomely rare Italian imports for about $5 each.

Funny, I remember it was Nick himself who said that Sound on Sound's reviews

More capable than the D-110 certainly (and better sound quality) though I
