What a completely elitist attitude. If "nobody in the group was paying  
attention" were the cause, thank you for pointing out how stupid we all  
are here and thank you so much for making our little lives better with  
this name change.

Assuming that rec.music.synth has at least an average aggregate IQ,  
perhaps we weren't informed in a very direct way.

For $150 a crack, you should at least pick up one of them.  The sound quality
is excellent, there are plenty of waveforms, and the onboard "sequencing" is
certainly acceptable by drum machine standards.  Drawbacks: the pads themselves
are horrible rubber little squishy things that are impossible to play with the
desired velocity sensitivity, the sounds are used in a lot of areas of semipro
music--the HR-16B is, for example, the poor man's rap box, originally conceived
by Alesis to complement the "old-school" HR-16 and to bring it up to date with
more contemporary (read: gated) sounds geared towards rap, techno, etc.

But, for $150, that's a really good deal.  It would be ideal if you had a 
better controller you could use to play on.  Those pads really do suck.

What admin folk?  There are something like 84000 people world wide who read

My JP-6 is having problems.  VCO-1 produces output
for voices 2-6 only.  VCO-2 produces output for only
voices 4 & 6.

I have verified that the keyboard is
not generating the problems.

So here are my questions:
	1. Got a clue?
	2. Anybody know where I can get schematics for the JP-6?
	3. Anybody have Roland's ph# for service?
	4. Anybody have an idea of turn-around time?

Thanks.  		-- Tim

I belive this to be a typo. It should be *DMX*, not *DX*.
I owned a DX for about a year, and all it had was a strange
clock in/out which I never could get to work properly.

A good value for the buck should otherwise be the Roland TR-707.
Both Midi, Din Sync and Tape Sync, quite good sounds, separate 
audio outs for each sound (+ a mix out) and a very friendly
programming interface. And it's really cheap on the used market.
('Round $150 here in Sweden. Probably a lot cheaper over there 8)

Take care,

I'm in the process of attempting to buy a sampler and (unfortunately)
have to keep the cost well down. I believe I could pick up an Akai S950
for approx. 700/800 quid but the recently introduced S01 comes in at
700 and I've been offered it for 600. I have the spec on the S01 but
only bits and pieces on the 950, all available software is compatable
for the 01 main differences seem to be 16bit v's 950's 12bit sampling
however 01 has a fixed sampling frequency - 32kHz (which seems reasonable)
01 has no LCD display and no facility for loading while playing out.
Sampling time is 15.625sec I'm not sure about the 950.

Anybody know more , or have any views on the best buy ?

The good thing about a sample player is that the sounds are already there--
you turn it on, and can instantly make music.  The SAMPLER, however, doesn't
have anything built-in...you have to sample sounds into it before you can
make music.  You can usually buy pre-made disks for most popular samplers,
so you can have pre-made samples around if you don't want to make them
youself (who can?).  I personally would rather have the sampler than the
sample player, because the player comes with 1000 sounds and no more.  You
cannot expand it later on.  With a sampler, you can always add sounds to it
when the times change and you want to use sounds for new musical styles that
develop.  I hope this answers your question.

Hi out there!

I'm looking for another synth to complete my live setup (I currently use only
a Roland JD-800). From all the synths I've tried up to now, the Korg Wavestation
EX and the new Yamaha SY-85 would fulfill my expectations to a live synth best,
especially the sounds of them are great and are a good contrast to the JD-800
sounds.
Unfortunately, I find it very hard to decide which of them to buy in the end.
So, if there's anybody out there who uses one of these on stage (for what I
would call "melodic hard rock"), or can recommend any other synth for this
purpose, I'd be glad if you would drop me a note.

Bye
	Ron
