Whoops! Since I did that post I decided to give it a proper go and see why
it wouldn't work, and where that smoke had come from. I pulled the sound
blaster out and found a fried looking track (+5V) on the PC board, but still
in working order. Well, they don't call them 250 watt power supplies for
nothing! And I also discovered that (as you pointed out) there are no
optocouplers or special drivers, the midi just hooks up straight to one of
the proprietry (?) SB chips. Ouch. After sorting out those ground loops and
any other potential cook paths I dragged out the scope and gave it all a
real thrashing.  

As it turns out, the people who make the Soundblaster (pro version 1 in my
case) have sort of implemented a midi interface. There's a Tx, Rx and Common
which is at 5V (and 30 odd amps if you don't watch it...). All I needed to
get it going was a 10k resistor across the midi in leads to the computer -
no optocoupler so it was taking too long for the synth to pull the data line
back up to 5V (4m long leads). The synth's midi interface sends 5V (at a
higher impedance) as well, so I didn't have a big smoke ground loop after
all. Assuming no power spikes etc I'll be fine. On second thought, where's
that optocoupler... I wish I had that lead that came with my midi kit, I
could measure it and see what creative labs did.

It is just the way I am! Well, I was only really worried about blowing up
the synth as I just bought it, and I could always replace the optocouplers
on the SB board. Until I realised it didn't have any...

Not the type of synthesis, but in this case, I think you'd have a hard time
MIDI-izing.  The Omni doesn't accept CV input.  It uses divide down circuits
to produce its polyphony, not VCO's.

Hi,

I'm shopping for a new sampler and was considering the Akai S1000 until I 
heard about the new Ensoniq ASR10. All I know about it are the basic specs,
what I really need to know is what is it like to use? Are there any obvious
features omitted in the software? How does it compare in features/ease of 
use with the Akai S1000. I have heard that the keyboards Ensoniq puts on 
their products are sometimes unreliable, has anyone had any problems with 
their Ensoniq?

P.S. - Please send any correspondance to: alexand@cs.rhbnc.ac.uk

That's a really good question.  Maybe if you asked before making the
"administrative decisions" you'd find out.  As to who to ask, I think there's
a difference between a new news group and one that's already established.
In the established news group there are people who feel some stake due to
having participated for a while.  From what I've seen, you're getting a lot
of static from those people.

I think it's reasonable to start a discussion of new versus established
news groups.  There's clearly a disconnect between "concerned and
experienced net.people" and the users they supposedly serve.  There is also
clearly a great deal of dissent to having "concerned and experienced net.
people" greatly involved in name semantics that conflict with established
news groups own vision of themselves.  There may be some justification for
news administrator's contributions to syntax, but the big flames seem to come
from "arbitrary" semantic decisions.  You might look over the recent
controversies and see if I'm right.

Keywords: sequencing

Hello

I play live using a sequenced background (NO FLAMES PLEASE).
My old setup used Dr.T sequencers on a C64.  That program was able
to loop parts of sequences until a foot switch was pressed.  This
allowed me to solo over a repeated section until I was satisfied.
I pressed the foot switch and the song progress seamlessly to the
next section.  LOVED IT!

I now own a Mac and use Master Tracks Pro.  I really like that setup
for writing and recording, but NO live looping.  Oh sure, I can set
a loop up, but only one per song and it's infinite.  I tried breaking
the song into mini songs and using the song set option, but there is a
delay between songs that is unacceptable.

I have given serious thought to buying a hardware sequencer.  

Does anyone know of a Mac sequencer that will loop sections until
a MIDI event is seen?
Or do any of the currently available H/W sequencers have this ability?

Thanks, Send email and I will post a summary and maybe a little diatribe
on my setup and how I use it.

Because of the architecture, you can have 2 or 4 osc per voice 
and if all the levels are set too high, the output tends to overload.
I always keep the mater out at 7, and make sure in multi-setup
that each patch does not go past 75%. The K4 is a budget synth, make
no bones about it, and there are little workarounds like this
that can be done to overcome some of its limitations.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that the 1000 is "very cold", but there

I have a casio cz1000 synth (41 fullsize keys, can be split into 4 mono parts, powered by a/c (adapter incl) or batteries, maybe 3 years old) which I would like to trade for an alesis microverb2 or similar unit. I will throw in a freeware cz librarian and sounds for the macintosh. 
WHY am I wanting to do this? I just got a proteus and I NEED another GOOD basic reverb, AND I feel real guilty since the CZ1000 has not been used in several months. B'way the CZ1000 is a CZ101 with big keys. MIDI In and OUT. I may not have the manual for it, but I think I still have the manual for my cz3000 which is very similar, and I could run off a copy for you. Shipping? well, call me. we can talk. I've never traded something before through the net, and there are questions regarding trustworthiness, et

The 6R is the rack version of the Matrix 6. It has onboard programming
capabilities. The 1000 has the same tone generating capability, but
it has no onboard editing - you must use an external editor to change
the sounds. To compensate for this, the 1000 comes with 1000 patches
in memory (I think approx 1/3 can be altered - ie. user patch memory).

No, (i. e. Yes, I know), Yamaha does not make anything like that.
All Synthesizers in that price class come with a sequencer onboard, as
it is no problem to do so, there is a powerful computer anyway,
memory is cheap, so why not use this for an additional feature that
is easy to program (compared to such tricky things like digital
filter sections.

The most expensive synthesizer without sequencer seems to be the
SY55, tho I'm not sure, if it is still being produced.
It couldn't compete with the SY85 anyway, i. e. it is a few
years older (therefore inferiour sound quality, fewer changable
sound parameters and no filters)

Another one one is the SY35, which uses vector synthesis and has no
filters, too. It was mainly designed a cheap beginner's synth with
some more or less spectacular sounds.
