	I want a MAC MIDI interface for the modem port.  Whatchya got?

I've got a MIDI Time Piece. Is that all you want to know?

Hi
I did synth programming for a piece by Vancouver composer Martin
Bartlett for four WX7s and 2 TX802s, using just tunings.  I am
currently re-programming to make a version for 2 WX7s and a
keyboard, so this might interest you.  The piece is called
"Pythagoras' Ghost" and uses six or eight unique scales drawn from
the table of Pythagoras.  The voices are quite pure so you hear the
acoustic effects of the various intervals very nicely.
Why don't you email Martin (martin_bartlett@mailserver.sfu.ca) and
ask him about it.  This version will be ultra-simple techwise -
just the MIDI instruments all merged into a single TX802.  No
computers or other synths necessary.  It is due to be played by a
group here in early May I believe.
See you
Matt

       There are a couple of techniques used.  Th linear interpolation can be
 used with what you mentioned, i.e. for 4X oversampling make 4 samples w/ 3
 samples
interpolating between 2 samples read off of the CD.  Or use a higher order
polynomial approximation for better interpolation.

      I think the more popular technique is to excite a low pass digital
filter with impulses where the impulses are your original samples with
zeroes in between.  That is, for samples S1, S2, S3 ... to get 4X
oversampling you would excite a digital low pass filter with
S1, 0, 0, 0, S2, 0, 0, 0, S3, 0, 0, 0, ...

If your original sample rate was 8 kHz, your low pass filter would be
designed for 32 kHz sample rate with whatever desired cutoff freq
(e.g. 4 kHz) and whatever order and shape of low pass filter you
like (n-tap FIR, 2nd order Butterworth IIR).

The on screen information regarding material returned late is incomplete.
We at San Francisco State University have argued that the following
information must be on the Invoice and Accounts Receivable Screen:
author, title, call number, item number, date due and date returned.
Most patrons demand to SEE the date due and returned date so that
they can determine if the late charge is correct.  I am under the
impression that this information will be available in the 4.0
release.  Does anyone know for sure?!?

Debbie - I thought I'd let you know a little about hotels in S.F.
if you haven't gotten one yet:


IUm glad you're plan on attending ALA again.  There are some hotels I can
 recommend that are in Union Square and therefore, only a few blocks walking
 distance to Moscone Center.  These are hotels that my parents have stayed at
 (several times):	The Raphael (415) 986-2000 (toll free 800-821-5343) (3 * in
 AAA book) "modeled after the little hotels of Europe" moderate rates (386 Geary
 St.  near Mason St.)	The Beresford Hotel(415) 673-9900 Rmodest European-style
 hotel centrally located near the theater district.  Rooms are small but
 pristine and comfortableS  Inexpensive rates.  635 Stutter St. (Near Mason St.)
 (this is one of those Rreal findsS that are not widely known and not listed in

 of other hotels also.  There are many of the standard Holiday Inns, etc. and
 the Hotel Meridien is the closest to the Moscone Center (1 blocks away) but is
 also one of the most expensive.  If you are interested, their!
 phone # is (415) 974-6400 (4 * in

 (with the Beresford being the farthest away E9 blocks and the Raphael about 7
 blocks away).  If you forget to bring my phone number you can call information
 (I am in the phone book) and ask for information for San Francisco.San
 Francisco State U. does have convention facilities including rooms forpeople to
 rent out, but I do not know any of the details.  I assumed thatmost people
 would rather just stay downtown because it is about 30-45 minutes by public
 transportation to downtown (we are located in themost South-West corner of the
 city, right at the border.  If you wantI cna try to get you the information
 though.-- Mitch

Hi.  I am resending the message I just sent because I had problems with

Anyway, about hotels in S.F. for ALA:

	If you want the infomation about staying at SFSU, I can get it
for you. I do not know what the rates are.

	Please excuse the mess that this file is in.  I am learning the
VAX and the editor in it is not too user friendly.

Subject:      Using the Acquisitions Module to Order Titles with Multiple Vols.
X-To:         ADVANC-L@idbsu.idbsu.edu
X-cc:         turitz@sfsu.edu

On April 10, Mitch Turitz inquired how users of the Acquisitions Module
are ordering titles with multiple volumes.  Shirley Fonseca, Acquistions
Coordinator at Stanislaus responds as follows:
     We place one order for multi-volume sets and/or monographs,
specifying at the end of the title which volumes we are ordering
(e.g. Biological and cultural tests for control of plant diseases; vols.
6&7) when ordering a multi-volume set.  For multi-volume monographs,
we use the "Mono Series Add" option to input titles as received.
Payments will still show up on the ordered series title.  In this case
the order record (with the multi-volume series title) need not be transferred to
the main database.  Rather each monograph can be transferred to the main
database as received.  In the "order Record", total copy will = 1 and
unit cost would = total price of set ordered.  This will give the vendor
the information needed to fill the order.
     When the items are received, ADVANCE will let you receive more items
than are on order -- so there is no problem even if both/all volumes
are not received at the same time (in the case of multi-volume sets).  For
multi-volume monographs, each title will be received individually on
the monograph title, not the series title.

     There are several ways to handle payment for these volumes, depending
on: 1) how invoiced; and 2) how received.  If volumes are received/invoiced
at the same time, payment can be lumped together and which volumes paid for
can be noted on invoice "detail" record in note field.  If volumes are
received and are being paid for at different times, invoice type and line
type (in detail record) need PAR with qty = 0.  This will disencumber
amount paid only and leave remaining amount encumbered to cover volumes
not yuet received.  When final volume/title is received and paid for,
invoice type and line type should = INV.  This will disencumber any
remaining encumbered balance.
     It is in the best interest of acquisitions to use one order record.
This eliminates the need to access multiple order records for the same
order to determine what has been received, invoiced, etc.  This also
makes for a cleaner transfer to the main database, allowing users more
accurate access to what's on order or in process.

If you have the ADVANCE 3.0 manual look at pp.3-35+.  Consider creating
a generic serial record with a copy set.  you can then assign N barcodes
to as many titles as you wish and you don't have to keep track of paper
barcodes.  This seems to be a possible solution for all kinds of materials
that you don't want to have or won't have full cataloging for.

Priscilla - You previously asked me about downloading problems.
I forgot to mention a problem we had several months ago when it
was discovered that serial records were having problems whenever
they had a 7XX field with a CODEN in it.  Removing the CODEN
solved the problem until Doug was able to come up with a
patch for it.  Have you noticed anything like that?

Rod - Here is a question from our Acquisitions Dept. people:

When using the Acquisitions module, how do you place an order for
a title that has multiple volumes?  The only way that they can
seem to do it is by placing separate orders for each volume.  It
does not seem to be the right way, as it results in numerous order
records that need to be scolled through.

Can you give us any advice?  suggestions?

Thanks,

Dear Mitch, Priscilla, and others:

Thank you for all the information that you pour into ADVANC-L.  It
helps greatly newcomers like us at CSU Fresno.  Hopefully, in time we
should be able gain some experience and contribute with useful info.

About OCLC downloading, we now have received and installed the
Passport v.1.23.  However, we need help with actual downloading
instruction.  We have two completely different sets of instructions
that came from different people in GEAC.  Neither of them works smoothly.

Questions: 1. What is the right sequence in downloading?  Search and
execute downloading (XPO F11) before starting the kermit in ADVANCE?

     	   2. Have you set up a script for loggin into ADVANCE for
OCLC downloading so that the Cat. staff won't have to go thru the
steps everytime they start the downloading session?

     	   3. Has anyone tried using WINDOWS on the OCLC workstation
to  maintain dual sessions?  In other words, keep OCLC cat. as the
main session and use windows for the second session with ADVANCE?

Note:  For your information all of our terminals including OCLCs are
connected to PYRAMID via Campus network.  None of them, except for a
few in the Computer room, are connected to dedicated ports.  The staff
terminals are set to time out after 4 consecutive hours of no activity
by the network.  I hope this won't present problem in OCLC
downloading.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Subject:      Making Stat(s?) Meaningful

We're in the process of implementing a plan for quantitative reasoning
 across the curriculum in my division (interdisciplinary studies). Not surprisin
   gly, statistics figures prominently. Our approach is to get
students thinking empirically and testing their own hypotheses right from
the beginning. Thus in our natural systems courses students create their
 own "student generated" labs and write the lab manuals themselves.
 Similarly, in a social systems course, I invited groups of first year students
 to develop experiments to see if subliminal messages affect behavior. I
 then turned their ideas into reasonably well formed on-line experiments
 where they themselves served as subjects. The basic notion is to "create a
 demand" for statistical knowledge by introducing statistical concepts in
 context, highlighting what statistics (and other kinds of quantitative
 reasoning) can do for the student.

Most of the data aren't in yet, but preliminary self report data (and my
 own observations) indicate that this approach generates enthusiasm,
 improves retention, and (perhaps) will increase the chances that our
 students will take upper level statistics courses. -Chris Wolfe
