Have you checked the Boss machines (DR550, 550II, 660) ? There are
samples from the R8 library in them, including 808 and 909 samples.
They have MIDI.

Well, when it started the Synclavier was an FM synth with a 16 track
sequencer on board.  NED decided to use a mini computer (not sure which 
one) which was very pricey.  Since the DX7 & friends were not to make
an their debut for a few years, the Synclavier was unique and powerful
enough to attract high-end users.  It really was an early Music Work-
station.  Also NED did custom software, and allowed customers to upgrade
much like a PC owne upgrades, by adding cards.  Even when the processor
changed customers were allowed to trade-in, preserving their investment.
The Synclavier was high priced item, because it's features were always
cutting edge, it was an expandable system and NED offered Cadillac
service.  Also, the longer you owned on the more you spent on it.
Needless to say, I owned a Micro-moog at the time! :-)

BTW, I own a copy of the blue vinyl demo album that NED sold
through their ads.  It contained part of Vivaldi's 4 seasons,
as realized by Patrick Gleeson.

Well, my SPARC 2 has a cgsix which maps out at 1152x900x256.  My "hobbyist"

A friend of mine has a Zeos Laptop and though it wouldn't 
lock up, it would certainly not accept input properly. If you
look carefully at the interface card you will see that the
card is 'pre-jumpered' to interrupt 2 with the foil on the 
card. I slit the foil, and soldered a new jumper to int 7
and it worked. It seems we had to try several interrupts
before settling on 7 but I don't remember which ones, 
maybe 3. Anyway, we also had to change the software config
to match the new int (of course). Hope this helps.

Unfortunately I do not know the individual file formats. I have used a
binary viewer (like od -h) to look inside the various file types but have
not seriously disassembled the format. Yamaha might be of some help here,
or maybe not. Currently, I use Sample Vision to transfer samples from my
EPS to the TX16W (God I which Sample Vision would switch to windows instead
of this f**king GEM crap). Sample Vision can dump samples to and from
the TX16W using its native Sample Dump Standard format (12 bit). Sample 
Vision seems to work with the TX16W reasonably well, but not absolutely
perfect for receiving samples (sometimes you have to resend the sample
because of communication errors). There are almost no problems using Sample
Vision to get the TX16W to send sample data.  Currently I do not of any 
software that can use the RS422 serial port.

I bought an EWI from them and was very satisfied.  The people know their
stuff but you better know your stuff too before you call because you won't 
get any MIDI lessons from them.  Tell them your needs and budget and they 
will tell you what they have that will fit those needs.  No fuss, no muss.

Thoroughbred is a little to "used-car-dealer" for me.  I picture guys with
ugly wide ties on the other end as the pressure me to go with "the better
model" becuase "I'll be sorry later if I don't"

The best place I've delt with is Washington Music Center in Wheaton Maryland.
They don't have an 800 number and they dont have time to chat with you.  Tell
them what you are interested in and they will beat even SamAsh's prices.

When you call WMC (aka Chuck Levins) ask for David Bach in keyboards.  He has
sold me 90% of the gear I own.  Its been a while since I was in there but he
generally recognizes me and can tell me what gear I've bought from him even
though I haven't been in for months.  David wont jerk you around either.

OK, I knew what Shiv was talking about when he talked about wave
sequencing.  You can program a set of vector-stick movements into the
TG33 so that they become part of the sound, which hasn't been said
before.  If I knew what "wave sequencing" was, I'd know whether that
was it, but I'm sorry that I've never heard the phrase before.
Enlightenment, anyone?

QAC>This is not to say that the TG33 is junk - it has a very good sound, but
QAC>not FM.

Absolutely right, not FM, but very TXish or DXish in some things --
I remember the familiar LFOs, for example.  But hey, remember the price
of the thing.

So how deeply discounted are they?  I remember the street price at one
time was about $350 (or do I misremember).  Because of the limits on
programmability and the lousy form factor I didn't get one, but I
was sorely tempted.  If the price is even lower, well...

AudioTrax 1.0. Costs 200 pounds in the UK against MasterTracks Pro 4.5 339
at 339 pounds.

AudioTrax 1,.0 need a 68020 mac upward (LC presumably) with 2 meg RAM.
64 track MIDI sequencer plus it'll play back 2 sampled track in sync with
the Midi sequence (presumably 8 bit)

EZ Vision costs about 100 pounds but only does 16 track MIDI. Not sure but it
may run on a Plus

Prices are relative. Use Apple's current UK->US exchange rate (1$ = 1 pound)
and you'll get an idea of the cost in the US (take exchange rate with a heavy
dose of sarcasm :-) )

I use Concertware from Graet Wave - it's hopeless for inputing from a keyboard
but works ok manually (pedal notes confuse it) Wouldn't recommend it.

EZ Vision looks a good bet for something cheap and cheerful.

	Tim Thompson has written one ('midifile()'), and I've written
a clone of his. Tim's version is at ucsd.edu and louie.udel.edu . Mine
is at your favorite comp.sources.misc archive site, under the name
'midifile' (don't believe the e-mail address in that archive).
	This isn't lex/yacc, but it works, and should be generic enough
for you: 'midifile()' repeatedly calls '(*MF_getc)()' to read the next
character, then calls various routines when interesting things happen.
For example, if you have

int mygetc()
{
	return(getc(stdin));
}

int process_noteon_msg(chan,note,vel)
{
	printf("Note On, channel == %d\tnote == %d\tvelocity == %d\n",
		chan,note,vel);
}

int (*MF_getc)();
int (*MF_noteon)();

main()
{
	MF_getc = mygetc;
	MF_noteon = process_noteon_msg;

	midifile();
}

	then 'process_noteon_msg()' will be called for each MIDI Note On
message. You can obviously use whatever routine you like, and change them
on the fly.

	I believe Tim's support for generic SysEx messages is better
than mine (I got all of the special ones working, but never got plain
ones working for non-seekable files).
	On the other hand, my version 'return's when it detects an error,
rather than 'exit()'ing. I've added one or two bells and whistles as well.
(There is an easily-correctable bug, though. Send me mail for details.)

To be quite honest, this is lousy video. The lowest resolution PC that I

underwhelming at best.

Just a note:
The Minnesota Composers Forum has announced an agreement with CODA to make
FINALE available at the special price (previously only available to teachers
and students) to all MCF members.  Might be worth looking into - and MCF is
a great organization with a terrific little monthly newsletter.

Isn't there some problem where you (i) can't have a single sample going
across more than one 500K bank, and/or (ii) can't mix samples between
different banks when making a multisample and/or (iii) can't save samples
across disks so that you can have a > 1 meg sample/multisample and/or
(iv) can't save more than one 500K bank to a disk, not allowing you to
use more than 500K of the RAM for a "patch" on the disk. I'm sure that
Keyboard described one of these faults. Can someone remind me in which
issue the SY99 was reviewed and I'll look it up.

Cheers,
