There is a site for EPS, (nextweek.reed.edu) and Roland samplers (somewhere I

That does not mean that there was not a problem with the subject line.
The problem was actually non-existant until the vote passed and people
started dropping away from the group...thus reducing its impact and
effectiveness. 

Stop throwing straw men or expect them to get consumed by the flames.

I didn't expect that. As I said, it did not appear intentional on his part.
I figured it out when the vote for r.m.s passed. I have talked to 16 people 
who did not vote because they had no idea that a CFV was going on for r.m.s.
That would have easily disqualified the proposal. The only available data
that fit the observed phenomena was an unclear call for votes. 

Or can't you see that?

Your beliefs are assumptions about the way things are. You are entitled

I wonder how many people that were concerned about the other groups that
were being voted on just went Y Y Y Y without really thinking or knowing
how that last Y would affect other people. I know I was careful to put an
A in all of the groups that I knew nothing about, and a N for r.m.s.,
which was all that I really cared about. Was everyone this careful ?

As far as frequent posters go, I am not one, but I do answer a lot of

Is the mailing list synth-l@auvm.bitnet? If so, I can run a gateway
here. I already handle the rec.music.early<=>earlym-l@earn gateway as

I'm relatively new to the keyboard/synth world (I've played
drums for almost 18 years).  About a year ago I purchased a
older synth from a friend for $100 (he was getting married    
and his wife wanted him out of the music business).  I've
asked people I know are in to these kinds of toys if they 
seen or heard of this keyboard, but no one knew it existed.

The markings on this say (on the front) MAXI-KORG and on the
back UNIVOX Model K-3.  It's definately nothing as sophisticated
as some of the other analog instruments I've seen, but it does
put out some neat background fills and is generally fun to mess
around with.

My question, does anyone know anything about this keyboard? 
Do you know where I could get an owner's manual (or a manual of
some sort to help me figure out all the the controls and swithes)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance,

John V.

This weekend I had the pleasure to work with the ADAT during
a brief recording session.  Although we admittedly didn't
work it very hard, I was extremely impressed with all aspects
of the unit.  The sound is transparent, the controls are 
extremely intuitive, punch-ins are immaculately clean -- even
the LRC (little remote control) does everything you'd want it
to do.  (Until you want to sync up to something else, of
course.)  

The delay to engage the tape when you start playback or 
record (about 5 sec.) is a little annoying, but hey, I'm
happy to put up with it.

The unit itself seems ruggedly constructed.  It is quiet but
not silent; don't plan on having it in the room with you for
very critical applications.  The studio I was recording at
has had the ADATs (they have two) for almost six months now,
and they haven't had a single problem.  They use pre-formatted
Ampex SVHS tapes.

I'd say, if you've got the $4000, buy it.

Howdy.

I see posts all the time from people asking where to find samples for
sampler x, and never any replies.

I realize that there probably are no sampler specific sites, but is there a
site with regular old generic samples?  They would probably take up a
lot of space, but that never stopped anyone before 8^)

P.S.  If I'm wrong, and there is an Akai S1000 sample site, that would

I'm looking for a battery-powered, hand-held recorder for sampling.
I'd like to be able to do something like walk around the office
hitting things (desks, bookcases, co-workers, etc.) without lugging
around a heavy recorder and trying to find a place to plug it in.
Plus, it would be nice to have something that I could use in a
clandestine fashion, say at one of those city council meetings /
scream therapy sessions.  (Relax, copyright infringement will
be diligently avoided.)

The Walkman-type things I've tried had such poor microphones that
the result was unusable.  Can anyone give me a recommendation?

	I was looking over my instruction booklets (which I try to do once
a year:) and noticed that my MC202 had tape sync abilities. I got to
wondering if the tape sync signal of the MC202 and the R5 would be similar
being from the same company (or are all tape sync's compatible).  

	Could I do a tape sync to a multitrack tape recorder using the R5,
then record some music through my midi system, and then go back and use
the same tape sync signal to keep the sequencer in the MC202 in time with
the music? HHHHHHhhhmmmmmmmm. This could lead to some posibilities.  Then
I could keep other non-midi synths with sequencer capabilities in time
with midi.

OR

is there an easier way (but still inexpensive)?

I would especially like to know if I could seriously damage something if I
tried this.

"Great" means different things to people with different needs. (and fetishes).
Although "great" isn't the word I'd choose, I do consider them pretty triff,
just because they are so simple and stupid and straightforward to use. My
favorite monosynth for traveling, social calls, etc.

Besides, all the greatest music is written with just one note duration.

By the way, you need the batteries in the unit for the sequencer data to
survive a power cycle. If you power cycle without batteries, you can get some
neat TB303-like randomness...

The one they showed in Vegas had an hour on Paul McCartney (I saw the
Julian Lennon one earlier this year).  It seemed like it was done a long time
ago, because they mentioned that _Give_My_Regards_To_Broad_Street_ had
been filming for a year.  It was ok and basically showed some videos of
Paul's work ( I had never seen the "Ebony and Ivory" video before).

Too bad, though, I accidentally knocked the antenna all out of whack and
so it recorded it poorly.

Well, sort of.  Ringo plays the anvil on Abbey Road, while Mal Evans
can be seen playing it in the movie Let it Be.

Does the Beatlefest company publish only one catalog a year? 
I seem to remember receiving two different ones two years
ago, and have only gotten one this year. 

Another question: Does *anyone* know where I can get a hold
of a copy of 'I Me Mine'? I can't find it anywhere - libraries,
bookstores (I think it's out of print), or anywhere else.
Thanks!
