Hi everyone,

Does someone of you have midi song files of Tina Turner's album foreign affair?

Please mail them to me at sb2fhh@rivm.nl.
I have a Roland D10 connected via mpu401 to a PC/AT with Personal Composer 3.3
and Cakewalk. I'm a guitarist of origin but time keeps me away of joining bands
so I decided to buy me a band in a box equipment. There's only one small
problem, although I know how to make chords on a keyboard, I am unable to
perform a good sounding song. So please would you help me if you can?

PS. As a token of (international) goodwill, I'll send you some of the midi
files I own in return.

Frits van den Heuvel.

I doubt if this is what MOTU is trying to accomplish with its $73.95
upgrade price, though.  With most competitive upgrades of the sort that
the previous poster was talking about, the initial offering is cheap
and the upgrade makes up the difference between that and the full product;
witness EZ Vision and the full Vision product.  Charging $75, however,
is obviously intended just to cover the cost of the upgrade itself (as in
shipping, manuals, and disk copies).  It's more than it needs to be just
for some paper and disks, but it does reflect current market realities.

I am attracted "on the paper" by a new Ensoniq keyboard named KS-32, the list 
price in the US is $2195, it has 76 keys with weighted action, it seems a decent
MIDI controller and is a sample player with several sounds (two hundred or so),
and there is an on-board sequencer (yawn).  The 32-voice engine is likely to be 
the same as other recent Ensoniq machines (SQ-2, etc).  There is an ad in 
"Keyboard" of august, with a suggestive perspective photograph from which you 
can gather virtually nothing.

So, just repackaging but if the keyboard feels good you may look at it as a good 
mother keyboard which also has (hopefully nice) sounds. 
Since I couldn't actually put my hands on it yet (they just started shipping),
I am asking if anybody had a chance to try it.

thanks

I'm not sure what "useful" means this in this context, but it definitely
doesn't mean "anything like a real piano", and I've never heard heard anyone
who claims it does.  The U220, Proformance, and Kurzweil modules are about the
only things I've heard reasonably claimed as "best"; of them, I like the U220
best.

	Actually, this was first released as 'Direct to Disk'.  Also, it
came AFTER Black Noise in the discography list.  The original 'Direct to
Disk' release was composed of two sides slected from 6 takes of each.  Later,
someone got their hands on the other masters and released 'Headroom' on the
Discwasher lable.  There are many more 'Headroom's out there and one of
the sides was stamped from a laquer that had playing mistakes on it, and hence,
was rejected by the band in the first run.  When I informed Cam Hawkins about
this he was suprised and said he was going to look into it.  I don't know what
came of it.  If you can find a copy of that recording without the word
'Headroom' on the cover and not on Discwasher then you have one of the rare
originals.  Also, the original was a gate-fold.  There are about 4 different
releases. Look for the one that doesn't use cuts A-4 and B1 - I think the
original was A-2 and B1 but definitely not A-4 and B1.

But Cakewalk for Windows has an editable staff view, and a macro language...
I can't imagine that Cakewalk won't do something that SP Gold will anymore!

And remeber, every minute spent learning to use software is a minute less
using it.  The learning curve for WinCake is nonexistent, with a few annoying
exceptions (anyone listening, Twelve Tone?).

Tell me more about Texture. I'm interested.

I use Voyetra Sequencer Plus Gold for the PC for mouse-controlled
      text-based sequencing, and

      Code Finale for the PC for notation-based sequencing.

I use them both and I love 'em both. Both require a longer learning
curve to understand than Cakewalk, but it's worth it for what I do.
(Yes, I know Finale is used for publishing scores, too !) :-)

I generally use SPG to record my sequences and to edit them, but I also
use Finale for editing, too. It ***_IS_*** more intuitive to see your
music in notation form to help gain an overall impression of weak spots
and good spots in your music.

But I love to use the mouse in SPG to manipulate notes and their MIDI
values. There is less software overhead in the smaller SPG app for
my humble 286 turbo clone to deal with than Finale running in windows.

My 2 cents.

Suppose you have two keyboard/controllers and a rack

a setup like this during a live performance. That is, how do
you change the routings of keyboards to modules, and the
individual module patchs in realtime? I could imagine
that you might want to change the routings/patches for each

Clearly, anybody that considers the Korg 01/W sound to be anything better than
mundane is probably not worth responding to because they have obviously been
overcome by the dull-trendy-sound-is-good (DTSIG) virus.  Also, while
comparisons to the SY99 are probably fair (because, the machines are of
similar potential caliber), it would be absurd to compare a K2000 to an
01/W, or a Proteus keyboard which aren't even synthesizers but sample playback
boards with limited flexibility.  If the two classes of machines were
alive they would be considered totally different species.  You sample player
aficionados who have never pondered 'synthesis' appear to be an incredibly
ignorant lot.

I'm using a Classic II for not-so-demanding sequencing and ed-lib
work.  It's adequate, but with 4M I have to strip the system if
I want to run Performer 3.6.4 and Galaxy+editors simultaneously.

I haven't yet installed Performer 4.01, but they don't really recommend the 
C-II as a platform.  (They claim to recommend the PowerBook 140, which
is an *interesting* call.  Guess they didn't try much sys-ex with it.)

If I had to start over, I'd get at least a IIsi, or try to find a
used SE/30.

BTW, the inability of the Classic II to run system 6 is a mild
inconvenience so far.  Performer 4 is 32-bit clean (according to 
MOTU); haven't tried Galaxy or Kurz Object Mover.  (Object Mover
is OK under system 7, mercifully.  It's not exactly supported.)

Farfisa organ. I want this one gone. 1 manual plus 1 oct of pedals. I have all 
of the docs and schematics on this one as well. I have $150 invested in it. 
MAKE AN OFFER.

J.L. Cooper CV-IN CV to MIDI interface (2): A box that allows a monophonic CV 
synth to send messages to MIDI synths. I have 2 of these. 1st one bought gets 
the original docs, 2nd one gets a photocopy. Listed at $250, asking $135 each.
 

Copyist Apprentice: A Notation program that reads standard MIDI files. Basic 
and simple. List $150, asking $80. Still has Registration Card

Akai X-7000 Sampler: A 6 voice 12 bit sampler. Uses Quick Disks. This one also 
has the memory upgrade, allowing 16 samples on board at a time, as well as the 
battery backup, which stores the 1st 10 sounds in memory during powerdown. 
Comes with over 150 samples of all types, a carpet covered case,footswitch, 
and the manual. Asking $800 for this gem, or willing to trade for an EPS.

Oberheim Systemizer: This little marvel allows you to split any keyboard into 
3 zones. Each zone can send on up to 4 MIDI channels. You can layer the 
zones,Rotate between channels in a zone, and set floating or fixed split 
points. Each MIDI
additional
multi-instrument

Bontempi Keyboard Display Stand: Three tiers plus a tray and a bolt-on 
mounting point that tilts. Too cramped for true playing, but great for holding 
FX, small racks, Multitrack machines, or other such items. And of course, 
great for displaying instruments. $25

Feel free to make offers on any of the above, although some prices are more 
firm than others. I am looking for a good remote keyboard of the strap-on 
variety, an EPS or FZ-1 , a TX-802 or other 6 operator FM synth, An anatek 
Pocket Merge, A good analog synth that doubles as a MIDI controller, A clean

Now here's an idea,  How about if you all out there in net land start

I haven't seen one for this board yet.  Maybe that's the problem?

Hi there,

Stop me if you've heard this one before, but, does anyone know what has 
happened  to the "Portamento" or "Glide" feature on today's digital synths.
I own a KORG Wavestation, and it doesn't have this feature, but my old Moog
Prodigy from way back had it. Is this feature available on any of the latest
digital machines ????

It may be that it is too difficult to use / implement for a polyphonic
keyboard, but I'm pretty sure that it was available on late model analog
machines like Prophet 5, OBXa etc....

Come on synth designers, pitch envelopes just can't do the same thing.

Well..

I'm running a plain Mac Classic using Performer 2.3.1+(yeah I know, old) 
and a Sentech mini Mac 100 Midi interface thru the modem port. I've never 

had any problem with it at all, even locking to SMPTE.

Ergo...

The Classic II should work fine. Although, since I'm not using system 7, 
I can't be a tru judge of performance.
