Yes!
 
What kind of a module do you use to get your hi-quality samples.  I'm not a drummer, but an amateur Amiga/DX7 musician and I would like to interface with hardware or peripherals capable of generating good quality drum sounds.  I am currently with Running an Amiga 3000.  Any Suggestions?

Hello Lisa,
     I am a saxophone major at the Crane School of music at Potsdam college.  People say that the Sax is the easiest instrument to learn to play...badly.  There are two many difference in the embouchure, althought the fingering are almost synonomous.  The best double for sax players is the Bassoon,  although many people would say flute.  anyway, I hope I was helpful. If you have any questions about the sax, I can probably answer them.

This'll be brief since I got to go to Social soon and pretend like I'm paying attention...  Anywho, do you have a sampler?  I picked up a boxed CD set of 400 miscelanious sound samples a while ago (only 20 buck!) and got some pretty cool industrial like samples like Pile Drivers, echoy ticking clocks, submarine sonars etc...  My favourite MODs would have to be the one from shadow of the beast II, powermonger, populous and one called GetDown which has a bunch of samples from the Brit comedy "Blackadder"... 
 There are more MODs but not time so...

Hello Amanda.
 
Thanks so much for your reply to my message.  I have attempted to reply quite a few times but am having trouble from this end.  So, I have sent a message to the Sysop for help, after which time I will complete the message back to you, as I am very anxious to swap informta

is that I cannot correct some of the mistakes I type in.)
 
Anyway, it seems our teaching jobs are in very similar situations. 
 So, until I figure out the details of sending messages . . .

 Well, like you, I wouldn't call long distance just to download
mod files... heheh... (I'm too cheap to do such a thing.) 
I haven't ever called Conneticut board of Music because of this-
or any place like it that would incur a long distance charge.
I have gotten all of my mod files locally. I'm lucky enough
to have a few local boards that carry a number of mod files
and related PD (players, editors, etc.) Maybe it could be possible
to "super-stuff" floppy disks with mods and mail them to other
people that want to swap mod files. I guess you would have to 
add up that cost (about 29 cents for a 720k 3.5inch floppy and
29 cents for the stamp versus the cost of a long distance call
for some odd number of minutes- not to mention your modem's
connection speed) to figure out what's best. (grin)

I use WOW by Wichtig!.  It's a german player, and I don't fully understand it
because all the instructions are German.  Moded200 works okay too.  I had a
 whole lot more mods (and stm files), but they were all on disk, and when I
 moved, the disks just seem to disappear.  I havn't tried to restock myself
 full because there is only one local board I can call, and I don't like to
 call long distance to download mods.  This board has absolutely no sound
 related files at all.  Have you tried the Coneticut board of Music before, I
 hear they got a huge selection.

Howdy!  Saw your note about samples and "tribal music".  I like the sound of this idea.  I recently bought an Amiga 3000, a used Yamaha DX7-FDIID and a neat sequencing program called "Bars & Pipes Pro"...
you've probably heard about this stuff if you're an Amiga Fan.
 
I like the idea of engineering samples, particularly in use with "funk" style music or the "tribal" rhythm idea.  If you've ever listened to the group "The Art Of Noise"... they really manipulate samples in an excellent way.
 
I never learned much muscial theory myself; I just tinker with the keyboard and play what feels good.  I like the DX7's capablility to engineer sound precisely with the super-crystal sounds of FM synthesis. My musical interests span a wide variety in include Jimi Hendrix, Pat Metheny, Windham Hill ("New Age" music), experimental stuff like Brian Eno and Steve Reich; even the good ol' South Side Chicago Electric Blues: Paul Butterfield, Albert King.... Blah, blah, and on and on.
 
Music is music.  If it comes from the soul, it always feels good.
 
What does it cost to get a decent Sampler board, and if I do, I wonder if I could integrate it with my DX7 and Bars & Pipes?  I hear these new "Sunrize" boards are quite good... but expensive.
 
That's all for now...

marching and concert band very well and receive awards, but
this seems to have no effect on recruiting.  Is this a trend in

Hi Richard.

 > kit for some time.  I think it would be esspecially great
 > in conjunction with a digital sampler.  I've grown pretty

 
Most definately!  I use mine to trigger 48k samples (better than CD 
quality) from my drum module, sampler, and other keyboards.


 > but really love good percussion and drum beats so an electric
 > drum kit seems like the way to go.  Would an electic drum


 
Being able to sequence is great.  The editing capabilities are incredible.

 > drum kit seems like the way to go.  Would an electic drum
 > kit use the same MIDI interface as a keyboard?  How much


 
The kit consists of pads (or triggers), a trigger to MIDI interface, 
and a sound module (drum machine, keyboard, etc.)  Once the triggers 
are converted to MIDI, everything is in the MIDI standard.  So, yes it is the same as the MIDI interface on a keyboard.  In fact you can use the drums to play the sounds in your keyboard.

 > kit use the same MIDI interface as a keyboard?  How much
 > are they anyway?  I'm not really in the know of music lingo
Pads range from $50 to $150 each (be very careful about what kind you get... there is a big difference between the feel and performance of different pads).  Trigger to MIDI interfaces range from $300 to 
$500, but you can spend more... there are a lot of variables.  A nice 
way to start is with a unit like the Alesis D4 drum module.  It has 12 trigger inputs and 500 drum sounds all for a going price of around 
$300.00.  Add pads and a rack and you're into a complete set for way 
less than a standard drum set - and you end up with 20 drum sets! If you are ever ready to buy a kit, let me know.  I would be happy to help with considerations and info.

It's just circus music but it is made up of oodles of various notes and cords so that is has a fluent varied sound.  Plus it is no more than 220k.  For its size it is most impressive.

     Last year, our school system developed and adopted a

Because it was felt that teachers would use technology in the
classroom only if they were proficient in its use, a primary
emphasis of the plan is teacher training.  One of the objectives
is the establishment of levels of competence in the use of
technology for teachers and other staff.  We are now attempting
to develop a list of competencies and are interested in seeing
similar lists that are presently in use in other school districts
or are used as part of teacher training programs in colleges.

I,too,am a math/computer resource teacher in a Magnet Middle School here in western Massachusetts.  We have a Mac LAN running off a ci with 24 Mac Plus nodes.  We try to schedule students into the lab for word processing (process writing), paint, some database and mathematics activities as it fits into their classroom curriculum.  I've never seen a more meaningful way for students to learn about computers.
 
Additionally we have a smaller lab that houses a desktop publishing system and 10 Mac si computers which are used for hypercard, publications, animation, art projects and soon some email activities.  As in our other lab, students work on projects that are closely connected by theme to their academic subjects. 
 
While we are fortunatetohave the hardware and software available to us, I believe that there are lots of engaging activities that can be created for students with very little.
