   Er, for speed, absolutely.  But for power?  I think DPS has QuickDraw  
   stumped there.

Well, I was thinking about the ability to add several
monitors and work transparetly with them. Like, having the
score on your 21" and the MIDI manager routings on a small
b/w screen next to it.

Also, while we're at vapourware: QuickDraw GX is gonna be
one bad mama! I've seen specs & demos enough to know...
However, to tie in to MIDI; I'm waiting for QuickTime to
support MIDI as track data. It's supposed to come! Way
cool!

That being said, a friend of mine has one for sale.  Comes with a

but I'll forward any serious inquiries to the owner.

There are demos for most of the big guns (finale, score, cakewalk, music
printer plus etc) aailable at ucsd.edu. Windows versions available from
ftp.cica.indiana.edu.

I think Music printer plus 4.1 is the best for complex orchestral work.

  Close, but no cigar. This is what I did with a RAM card (pulled it
out during power-up), and it overwrote both RAM banks with the patches
in the ROM bank. Result: three identical copies of ROM bank.

Basically, yes. Your account is correct. I'm waiting on a copy of OMS 1.2

Until then, I use my PB140 for MIDI output only (at which it's fine); and
my PowerBook 100 is hopefully on its way to the UK.

Check out the November issue of Electronic Musician, and (I hope) the

*** Posted on behalf of a friend ******

I am a music teacher employed by the Department of School Education,
Victoria, Australia.

For the past three years I have been working with music technology and
gradually incorporating it into the classroom.  I mostly use C-Lab
Notator for the Atari linked with Roland Sound modules.

Presently I am applying for an overseas travel grant from the D.S.E.
for the purpose of creating and expanding a library of midifiles for
educational use.  I would like to attend workshops/lectures on music
technology and to meet people involved with midifile use in
education overseas.  

If anyone can provide me with contacts and information in this area to
help me organise an itinerary, this would be greatly appreciated.  I
need to find out what is going on elsewhere with midifile use, and
technology in general, with a special interest in General MIDI.  The
application has to be in by September 11.

Thankyou for your time.

The two machines are distant cousins, evidently.  However, the VZ sound
architecture is sufficiently more complex than the CZ that you can't just
slap a CZ patch into a VZ and have it work.

   This is really starting to bug me. Okay, I have an EPS 1+ (rack-mount)
and am using Trax on my Mac. I use Trax for creating and editing a 
sequence, then "record" it with the EPS. (Most of the sequences are only
1 bar long - it's just drums.) I switch the sequence's clock to MIDI, hit
Record, and start Trax playing back. Most of these work fine. However,
some of them get some sort of bug. I play them back and hear nothing at all.
So, I do an Edit Event on the track and find that the notes start somewhere
around bar 192!
   Is this an Ensoniq bug or am I experiencing something weird?

Organization: ADP Dealer Services R&D, Portland, OR


	I have a very basic system. A Roland U-20, Pad-80 Octapad, interfaced 
	with an Opcode Studio 3 (2 in, 6 out) that syncs up a Fostex 8 track
	open reel. 

	Recently I ran into a problem. Usually I lay down rhythm prior to 
	multitracking, but discovered that when I want to lay down some 
	rhythm while rolling a sync'd tape, that some sort of MIDI logjam
	occurs. This is probably due to the fact that the Studio 3 inputs 
	are set up with one channel for modem port and the other for printer
	port. Apparantly when rolling tape, my printer port is taxed to the 
	max handling the SMPTE to MIDI time code duties. This is the input 
	that I have my Octapad hooked into; the U-20 goes into the other 
	input.

	Soooo, when I try to use the Octapad with tape rolling, I hit a pad,
	and a half a second later the note occurs!!! I guess I just need 
	to forget about using this printer port input on the Studio 3 when 
	syncing time code???

	What alternate ways might I hook the Octapad up to my system? I 
	have no need to run MIDI IN to the Octapad because I am using it 
	strictly for recording and don't need to change programs on it.
	Unless I'm wrong, all I really need is MIDI OUT and get it to the 
	U-20 somehow, which I'm using as the sound source for the Octapad.

I seriously doubt that they're manufactured anymore.  Last I saw, used TF1's

Their followup was a more integrated approach, called the TX-802.  Probably
driven by changes in the economy of manufacture.  And the fact that TX-816s
were somewhat unwieldy, both MIDI and audio-wise.

Now you know why I had to get rid of it! The trade for the stomp box was
far and away the best thing I've ever done for my studio. Now I can actually
write original music instead of swilling Huber after Huber, extemporizing

Add the Ensonic DP/4 to that list.  (Didn't you read my wonderful review?)
Actually, the DP/4 will take it a step further and sync to any external

output to MIDI specs. Up to 128 keys can be scanned, each touch
sensitive with a resolution of 128us (256us with 4MHz clock). The speed
is measured on pressing or releasing each key and the chip incorporates
debounce circuitry. The IC is HCMOS compatible, has integrated
oscillator, FIFO, and can select MIDI channel number, and only a few
external components are required. With a clock rate of 4MHz, the output
BAUD rate is 31250 BAUD. Every time a key is pressed or released, the
velocity is calculated by measuring the time with a 7-bit reverse
counting counter. At the same time every press and release is tested
for validity. The key is only recognised if it goes from pin 10 to pin
11 or vice versa and thus key bounce is eliminated. An internal FIFO
register allows fully polyphonic playing and thus several keys can be
pressed simultaneously. The output transmits according to the MIDI
specification, the key number, the key velocity, whether the key is on
or off, and which MIDI channel it is to go to. Close SW1 to transmit to
channel 1. An external clock between 4MHz and 8MHz can be connected to
pin 15, in which case pin 14 is left open circuit. If an 8MHz crystal
is used, the output rate will be 62500 BAUD.
