Hi again Bruce,

Shame about the KORG! Would have been pretty OK, but alas, sold already.

Could you tell me some more about this Roland drumcomputer? Is it a good
alternative for this KORG DDD-1? What is it's list price? How many
sounds does it have? Can you edit sounds and/or expand it later on 
with new sounds? Is it fully MIDI? Value for money?

Please write back!

Thanks in advance,

Bas.

Hmm...MIDI footwear.  Could be interesting.  That
reminds me of a vest I saw Mick Fleetwood wearing
in one of their concert videos.  It had triggers
all over it.  Depending on where he would hit it
he would get a different sound.  Even if he jumped
up and down a different sound would come out.  I
wonder if he's masochistic?  Imagine, though, if
you could add triggers to shoes AND have that vest.
The possibilities are absolutely phenomenal!
Then there's that guy that's been using a Mattel
power glove to trigger sounds...what next?

If you want to be able to synthesize, get the LAPC; if you want excellent
acoustic sounding patches get the SCC. If you want both, then I'm afraid
you'll have to buy both.

X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL4

Last days I tried to decode the format of Cakewalk
files, to support it in a portable and up-to-date
(yes, Cakwalk files evolve) cake -> midifile converter.
The starting phase was quite easy, because the binary
roughly follows the text format. I found about 26
basic record types, of which 5 (numbered 13 and
18..21) remain mysterious. I haven't found them in
any of the Cakewalk files I have, which are mostly
v.2 files.

I believe they could be partly related to the new
"Volume" and "Pan" track parameters, and also to
wave replay features that appeared in C4W. But
since I don't have a normal Cake yet, I cannot
produce them directly and the Windows clipboard
tricks don't seem to provide complete track
parameters.

My request is: could someone with a normal Cakewalk
produce a file containing 2 or 3 tracks with initial
"Volume" and "Pan" parameters, 1 or 2 notes, and
send them to me? It would be interesting to have
also a copy of the sample ascii format file coming
with C4W, but since it is not included in the Windows
demo (it was included in the demos of non-Windows
versions), it is probably copyrighted...!

Is there a guide for novices about reverbs?

The recent Keyboard magazine had a feature article
about reverb units, but unfortunately for me, it
assumed the reader already understood what the
reverb algorithms did, and then went on to
describe how well the different models performed
them.

My synth (SY22) has some built in reverb effects.
Some of them, like Room, Hall, Chamber, etc.,
seem to be fairly obvious, but could someone explain
Gated Reverb, Doubler, and Ref?   Some of these
effects seem very subtle to the ear.

Yes, you can setup a 4-way keyboard split on the Mirage, with or
without the MASOS.  With the MASOS, it's as easy as booting with
the MASOS disk, and load samples upper and lower #1- #1 has the lower 
and upper banks split into 2 blank wavesamples each.  Then sample into
these. 

(the following may not be needed, but I wasn't very sure what you were
asking:)
If you actually want to be able to just press a single key and trigger
the 4 samples, then you'll have to create a program for this, using
mix modes, or some such thing (I haven't done this- you might only
be able to mix 2 samples together).  Another option would be to actually
merge the 4 wavesamples together into a single new wavesample, via the
MASOS "Add" function.

I know there's several different versions of the Christmas CD out (and LP as
well).  Any I've seen are copied from vinyl.  I have yet to see the Yellow Dog
release, but it is supposed to be from master tapes of some sort, and with
bonus tracks, so I'm going to wait for it.  However, all pictures I've seen
of the original British LP say "From Then to You".  I don't know if it was a
misprint or not.  It certainly looks like it.
As far as a detailed listing of what's in the tracks, one can be found (with
timings) in Neville Stannard's book _The Long and Winding Road_.  I don't have
it on hand right at the moment, but next time I'll try to bring it with me and
enter that info for you.

I left a trap there by referring to stations that play no Beatles or
pop music.  It would be more productive to this discussion to mention
stations that play only certain Beatles songs, such as MOR stations
that avoid the heavy rock tunes but play the pop stuff endlessly, like
"Hey Jude" but not "Revolution".  Censorship?  After all, the rock
cuts would offend a good part of the audience of such stations.

OK, I'm avoiding the issue that with RFYL the issue seems to be
lyrical content offensive to a political group, rather than musical
taste.  Or is it that different?  The issue is that some of the
listeners of a station have said they don't like a song that was
played.

Maybe my judgment is clouded in that RFYL was never a song I liked
much, and the lyrics were part of it.  It's just so incongruous to be
singing "I'd rather see you dead" over a bouncy little tune.  It's
funny, I would more inclined to respect it in a harsher musical
setting-- this is an emotion a person could feel, but it's not pretty.
I know some people would be more inclined to censor it if it were
shouted out angrily over snarling guitars, but to me that would be a
better piece of music.  If I ran the radio station, I'd be inclined
not to play it very often just on quality reasons.  I wouldn't put a
total ban on it though.

But what are we saying here?  Just that we would do differently if we
ran the station?-- fair enough. 

What would concern me more, and a distinction I meant to draw, is some
group or, worse, a government body, saying -no- station may play this
song.  I felt the station in this case was free to say either "we'll
play the song, and if it offends you to hear this sort of thing, just
listen to another station" or "OK, we'll drop it".  The fact that the
choice was the station's to make is the important thing.

Even this activity falls within the freedom of those stations to
choose and those people to destroy their own property.  I think they
were lunatics myself.  But the stations still -could- play the
Beatles, and I do not know to what extent all stations did ban the
Beatles even in the Bible Belt.  I've read that some of the strongest
statements came from stations that did not play rock anyway.

Yes, the updated version of Coleman's _Lennon_ is very much appreciated.
Unfortunately, the authors have chosen to publish it as a $17.95 soft-cover

The answer is yes, it was released on video.  However, it was released
in 1981 or 1982 directly from United Artists at the dawn of the home video
revolution.  As such, it is has been out of print since roughly 1985.

However, copies do still exist, and video places which have been around that 
long *may* have copies.   (I rented mine from a place that advertises they
have access to "any film ever released on VHS")  But, you probably  aren't 
going to find it at your local "video hut".  

The film is supposed to be re-released on video sometime in the next five
years, but nothing is definite.
 
>Also, someone told me that since all the beatles litigation was cleared up,

A CD of performances from BBC radio is likely.   However, you are
probably referring to the "Sessions" tape ("Leave My Kitten Alone",
"Not Guilty", others) which remains on the shelf, and is not likely
to be legitimately released anytime soon.
