Can someone do me a favour?

I believe that there are some librarian modules on Compuserve, but I can't
access this service at present.

If some kind soul could log on to Compuserve, GO MIDIVEND, and retrieve:

JD800
KORG01/W
KORGA3

and mail them to me I'd be eternally grateful

(They're only real small!)

Thanks heaps if anyone can do this thing

I think the above is basically correct. A Kurzweil rep demoing the K2000
said he uses Syquest removeable disk drives as his shared SCSI platform.
He loads in a Mac-formatted disk when he's loading to or from the Mac
and changes to a DOS-formatted disk when the Kurz needs to load or store.
He didn't tell me any other details, but one might assume it works.

There also have been some problems with the Powerbooks, including the
new ones.   You probably can see the information still in
bit.listserv.emusic-l.  They did some testing, and the results are in
the Electronic Musician magazine.  The EM magazine is more optimistic
about the fix than what they say in the Bitnet group.

I am looking to get a Powerbook, and Max, but they better have it fixed
before I do anything.

Have any of you come across a general purpose MIDI chip ideal for

that adheres to the the MIDI electrical specs, has internal timing
capability, and necessary registers for shifting data...  I'm hoping
that if such a beast exists it will be cost effective, and reduce the
number of components necessary to build a generic, but reliable MIDI
interface for an IBM PC bus.  Also, If you happen to know of such a
board (no frills, reliable, and cheap) being marketed, please, forward
me any information you can.

The Roland layout seems to be gaining acceptance since Kawai uses
the same layout (at least on the K4 they do). However I'm sure
Yamaha does it different just to be different. Ever notice MIDI

Upon recommendations of others I just purchased a "Midiface EX" interface from 
Altech.  Bought it through MacWarehouse.  I'm new to MIDI, so I can't say 
anything techwise about it.  But it does look great.  Metal construction, one 
in, three outs, three LEDs, and my favorite - a serial passthrough with a 
switch.  Means you don't have to unplug your modem!  $35 for the interface 
alone, or $59 with cables and some PD software.

Mosaic (or Composer's Mosaic, as it is occaisionally referred to) is
Mark of the Unicorn's successor to Professional Composer. List price
is, I believe, around $600-$700 in the U.S. Its feature set is closer
to Encore than to Finale.

Pro DAT machines such as the Panasonic 3700 let you edit the SCMS bits.
The 3700s can be had for under $1200 now around here. And I just bought
a Technics SV-DA10 which is virtually identical to the 3700 EXCEPT for the 
SCMS editing facility and the Technics doesn't have balanced in and out.

By the way, doesn't Yamaha make a S/PDIF to AES/EBU converter?

Hi netters,

I'm looking for a beat counter that got an interface so it can be

music analyzer involves too much heavy duty mathematics and the comp

Do you know a decent black box that reads line level and ejects the beat

Thanks,

Re: Please post this letter or share it with individuals who might be

Greetings:

DIVIDED is presently accepting submissions for a series of several  
compilations to be released beginning in the spring and summer of next  
year.  Any composer working in the electronic / electroacousitc / Computer  
music fields are welcome to submit compositions for consideration.   
DIVIDED was founded a year ago to pursue lesser known composers worldwide  
and give greater exposure to this genre of music. Recently we released  
"Scend" by Jim O'Rourke and are expecting the release of new works by  
Jean-Francois Denis early in 1993. 

PRESENCE is DIVIDEDs ongoing compilation project. Each compact disc  
released will contain several composers. All compositions submitted should  
be on DAT and may not be longer than fifteen minutes each. The deadline to  
submit entries for the initial CD is January 31st.93. A properly  
self-addressed stamped envelope should be included to retrieve one's  
master tape.                                                                          
                                                                      
We believe the copyrights should remain with the composers. The production  
rights shall be given to DIVIDED while the CD is in print and a contract  
will be drawn allowing composers fifteen percent of the wholesale price of  
each CD.                             

By assembling these compilations we wish to bring to listeners new works  
by international composers which are artistically innovative and dynamic  
as well as emotionally engaging. DIVIDED wishes to encourage all composers  
working in these fields to submit compositions knowing that their work  
will be seriously considered.

Please direct all correspodence to the above address.

Why not just disable saving in the unlicensed version?  This seems to work for  
creating a good demo version of a program that allows a user to exercise the

Probably not, becuase midi is synthesized (computer generated instruments),
while mods are made up of digitized sounds.

I used to run Finale 2.6 on Classic!! It was very slow, almost
unbearable. But it did run, anyway. What I used to do was to 
boot with option-command-x-o, and also use ram disk for both 
temporary files and programme itself. 4MB was basically enough.

I think it really depends on what you want to do. You could
probably check out Professional Composer etc. for comparison.
