I don't know anything about an upgraded 32M, but when Music Quest dropped the
16 and 16S they modified their pricing. I know you can get the 32M for about
$170 or $180 if you look around. Whether the trouble of mail order is worth
the savings or not is up to you.

Agreed.

>Do you know of other synths that have this limitation? Is it common?

Yes; all synths have a restricted number of effects processors such that
one or more performances in any multimode are compromised. Until synths get
the horsepower to provide individual effects, it won't change.

The WS is actually not badly off; you have two independent (mostly)
processors and four busses. The REAL hassle with the WS is that you can't
reconfigure the effects while voices are sounding (even if they're using
the other processor) and you have to store the effects in the 16 multimode
slots. That's seriously naff.

I bought a card from Valhalla Music that I like a lot, and from a guy in

Well, not for me unfortunately as I can tell the difference between 36K and
44.1K. We're talking 18Khz as opposed to 22Khz and the kind of music I do,
you really need those upper freqs... but true, not all will tell the difference.

Perhaps I was mistaken.. I meant it had no filters... and yes, we used one
on Aeon Flux. It worked well for footsteps, etc, and believe me, for $300-$400
one should grab it, but for $700-$1100, I would suggest getting a Prophet 2000,
Akai S-900/950, Ensoniq EPS or an Emulator II before an FZ-1... but again,
just my opinion.

There are actually three versions of Cubase on the MAC

	Cubase Score  (With score printing)
	Cubase Audio  (For direct to disk)


Cubase is a very powerfull sequncer.  Nice and easy to use.  Fast.

	You can view the music that you've entered in:

		piano roll
		score
		exact events (text based)

	Direct support for the Midi Time Piece.


What Cubase needs added:

		I would also like to see some kind of subscription to a

Subject: Wanted: WX-11 or WX-7 controller/info/experience

   Anybody interrested in selling a Yamaha WX-11 or WX-7 wind
controller?  I've watched the net for a while, checked local
and mail order music stores and got the following pointers:

   used WX-7 (asked 350.-)     $300.- (sold 12/92)

   new WX-11 (incl. BT-7)      $370.- (mail order)

Please send offers email to martin@phx.mcd.mot.com  (Let me
know if these prices are out of line and send offers anyway.)

Also, I would appreciate if somebody could share his/her
experience with both controllers.  Although I was able to
get pretty much all info about the WX-11 and play with it
in a store, I could find neither a WX-7 nor a WX-7 player.
Consequently I'm not too sure about real pros and cons in
case I'll get a choice to buy either one.

Background:
Currently I use a Roland D-10, Yamaha TX81Z, Quadraverb,
and C-LAB Notator.  The real-time transform features of
Notator should be handy to convert WX-11 BC MIDI out and
possibly use the D-10 sounds in addition to the TX81Z.
I plan to use the wind controller to sequence midevil
music with synth sounds.

Thanks in advance,  Martin

Crank up the tempo to 255, set the BPM high (16th notes etc) start the
metronome and listen carefully for
more than one minute.  You will hear fluctuations in tempo.
Cakewalk makes use of software timing, not the hardware timing built into
mpu-401.  BTW are you using GA, GA+SP, Beta1, Beta2?  My observations are
based on GA and on Beta1.  Yes, mpu-401 stuff works.  It does not work
flawlessly and is not at all suitable for professional use.

I think you may be right, because memory was so darn expensive at the
time.  I think, however (and I'd like to know whether this is correct)
that the cymbals *are* digital samples looped and *shaped* by analog
circuitry.  That way they managed to get long decays from very short
samples.  It may be that it's just the same analog circuit used in the
TR808 however (and frankly I prefer it to the digital cymbals in my
TR707!!).

I'm no expert on Cubase, but I've been using Performer for 4 months now.
It's very usable, especially if you take that little extra time to learn
a few Option-Key commands to bypass the mouse-drag-menu routine. It's
extremely easy to pick up and use, and has many more features than I use.
Clearly, I like it because the important and useful features are not
obscured behind a mountain of "bells and whistles"... Before this I used
Miditracks and Notator (both on Atari) and Performer kills the former and
is at least as good as the latter... Hope this helped a little ...

Actually, that one came from one Richard Bugg (I think that's the name),

To be fair, the Peavey SP user interface is very well designed and probably
the best periscope interface I've ever come across; but it's still a

They are in reference to drum machines. Roland TR-303 and TR-808 specifically.
The TR 808 is a famous "breakthrough" drum machine used a lot in rap. It was
the first one to produce that loooong deeeep kick drum, nicknamed the 808 kick.

A few drum machines on the market use the 808 sounds in their banks, the Boss
DR660, and the Roland R8 ... I don't know about the TR 303 sounds...

My S-50 has been acting strange lately.  When I turn it on, it doesn't
recognize any disks as s-50 disks until you keep inserting
and reinserting the disk for about 5 minutes.  After that it does
eventually recognize the disk, but it loads REALLY slow like, 20

minutes or so.  After 5 minutes or so of running the drive, it
loads properly if you turn it off and on again.

Also, when it IS working and loading correcting, it still has
a lot of problems with about half my disks, it gets hung
up about halfway through.  

Is the disk drive going bad?  Do they sell drive cleaners?  Will that
help at all?  How much will this cost to fix?

Hi,
there seem to be a few Wavestation experts here... Perhaps someone
can help me...
I've made a few of my own patches and performances, and some use the
inbuilt Joystick to modulate effects and things, but this also causes
the sound to fade between the component sounds in the patch. This is
used as a feature in the "WavePolice" preset, but is there a way to
prevent this happening? I would like the sound mix to remain the
same but allow the joystick to control effects parameters.

Comments appreciated, Sean

  In light of the recent comments about feature-richness and whether or
  not that's bad, I'd say that in Cubase's case it is good.  The features
  don't seem to get in each other's way.  Cubase is friendly to a
  variety of working styles/paradigms.

  Yes yes YES.  The Cubase tempo functions are incredibly far behind
  the rest of the program.  Complex tempo work is much more difficult
  than it should be, and the reclock (map rubato, whatever you want to
  call it) would be a godsend.  The tempo track and it's teeny set of
  functions should be brought out of the dark ages.  You can't even
  program a nice gradual speedup or slowdown (well, you can, but the
  only way I've found is to insert a bunch of tempo events one by one,
  then set each one's value so that the series is an increasing or
  decreasing set of tempos...  what a pain, and nearly impossible to
  tweak intelligently), there is no graphic representation of tempo...
  and the newest release doesn't appear to address these problems at
  all.  What are they thinking?  
  
  I love the rest of Cubase and its immediateness, but I may forced to
  something else just for the tempo fuctionality.
