Subject: What MIDI editor to buy
Summary: Editing Piano rolls
Reply-To: kaufman@CS.Stanford.EDU

Distribution: rec
Date: 12 Nov 92 01:34:33 GMT

I am embarking on a project to transcribe old reproducing piano rolls
(Ampico, Duo-Art, Welte) to MIDI for use with such things as PianoDisk
systems and the Yamaha Disklavier.  I am prepared to deal with the merging
of expression data with note data, but would like some advice on which
(Macintosh) editor to buy to clean up the resulting data.  Since these are
performance rolls, I don't want to change the absolute timing any more than
necessary, but I do need to add/delete notes and adjust expression for
ranges of notes and time.  This is NOT composition so much as editing.

Thanks for your help.

I own an Ensoniq EPS and a Roland D-10 that I bought while living in Germany.
They both run on 220v electricity.  I have since moved back to the US, and I
want to use them here!  Does anybody know where I can get trasnsformers to
convert regular 110v to 220v?  Or what should I do to be able to use my
'boards?!

(I am nnot prepared to do too much work on their innards, but I could do
minor things if necessary...)

Please email suggestions to me at:

Thanx inn advance!!

I have an Atari 1040ST for sale with color monitor, printer, and some

doesn't boot up!  There seems to have been a surge of some sort, and it
causes a malfunction.  I think it would be pretty easy to have fixed, but I
don't use it anymore anyway.  I will listen to all offers.  The monitor works

Subject: SY99/TX16W MIDI pgm changes(?)
Date: 13 Nov 92 10:17:35 -0600
Organization: University of Northern Iowa

Hello,
   I have a small MIDI system of basically just an SY99 playing its internal
sounds and samples off a TX16W via MIDI, this works fine.  However, whenever I
turn the Data Entry dial or use the +1/-1 keys on my SY99 to flip thorugh
various items in song play/record or multi edit mode it sends program change
messages (I think that is what they are) to my sampler making it change
performances as well.  I went to the MIDI settings and turned the PRogram
Change setting to "off" so it would (as it says in the manual) send or receive
no program change messages and I also turned program change to off on my
TX16W's system edit MIDI switch menu.  None of this changes things.  Data entry
slider does not send these messages, but I do not use this NEARLY as much as
the data entry dialer.  I will want to use this functionality to change
performances across my whole MIDI system once I get the songs set up\done but I
do not want my sampler to swtich perormances every time I filp through the
measures in song write mode while the songs are in the process of being done. 
What a pain.  I guess  I could disconnect my midi line every time I need to,
but that is a pain.  I just want to play the samples off my TX, not really
control it in such broad sense.  Any help would be appreciated.   I guess this
is probably not the most advanced MIDI question (simple messaging) but it has
certainly stumped me.  I have done everything I know how to do, and some that I
don't.

Thanks,

since ensoniq is putting out the ASR-10 you can get a EPS-turbo,
also made by ensoniq for ~2000.  it's a nice sampler, very nice.
the ASR does everything the EPS does plus reads VFX files also
(i have the VFX and am interested in the ASR as well).  i think
the ASR will have more poly voices (32?) then the EPS.

sorry i haven't looked at the EMAX (who makes it?).
i'm waiting for when they put out the rack mount version of 
the ASR sometime first quarter of '93.

Try typing 11, 12 or 13 to save only lower, only upper, or both banks
of sounds to a disk. It has to be a formatted disk, however. If you
don't have one, either format one on someone else's Mirage, or your
pretty much out of luck. Once you put in the formatted disk, the
"screen" should be blinking "SU", "SL" or "SB". Type 1, 2 or 3
for which set of sounds you want to save it as.

I have been thinking about getting a Korg 01-W or 01R-W rack module

one of the best i've played with. However, even all those sounds are
going to wear thin after a while. My dealer told me that there are at
the present only a few cards of new sounds available for it, and he didn't
know if there were going to be any more. I understand there are a lot of
aftermarket cards for other Korgs, are there going to be more for the 01-W?

An excellent book is "MIDI Programmer's Handbook" by Steve De Furia and Joe
Scacciaferro ((c) 1989 M&T Publishing, Inc., ISBN: 1-55851-068-0).  It
covers the protocol in detail.  It's a reference book, not "how to".  BTW,

I suggest buying an old Atari 520 ST w/a monochrome monitor for a
couple hundred dollars instead of wasting your time with a PC.  The
Atari has plenty of PD sequencers that are better than some commercial;
ones.  Also, the user interface on the ST is easy to use, unlike the
PC's, besides the fact the Atari comes with MIDI built-in.

Pardon the obvious, but unless you're running a MEX expander on your 
D50 (a 3rd party, multi-timbral & memory upgrade), you can't. The D50
is not inherently multi-timbral.

There are some rudimentary bi-timbral capabilities, but I have never
used them (note: I have MEX, but I only use it as extra memory).

Hi folks,

I bought a Roland W-30 keyboard about 4 years ago... it retailed for about
$3000, I bought it at about $2300.  I've gotten sick and tired of the sampling
memory limitations, but my friend is convinced that it would suit her just
fine.

Here's the prob... she's my friend, so I don't want to overcharge her.  At the
same time, *I* want to get a fair price out of the sale.

So here's where you guys come in... Please offer me your advice on what would
be a fair price, realizing that:
--the synth is in excellent condition
--I'm selling a good wood, expensive (retail $180) case with it
--I have over 50 3.5 inch disks with sampled sounds and demos

Please send your thoughts to me through ***E-MAIL***, and then I'll summarize
the results to the net if there is interest.

Thanks so much for your help.
