I am considering selling my classic TR-808 Drum Machine.  It is in good
shape and the best serious offer will take it.

Reason for selling:  Tired of techno, need the cash.

Please respond by e-mail to barsz@bnr.ca

Subject: HELP: cannot record/playback DX7 sysex to Cubase
Organization: TNO Physics and Electronics Laboratory
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1992 11:07:25 GMT

Hi,
having borrowed a DX7 from a friend, I immediately tried to do
a memory dump into cubase. 

Here's what I did:
Under some unlabelled function key I found something like
SYSEX: (UN)AVAILABLE.
When I switch this to AVAILABLE, another option can be selected:
something like "SEND DATA?" Pressing yes sends some dump I can record
in cubase. In cubase I see a Yamaha sysex, so I think the recording is fine.
But when I try to play it back, the DX7 complains with a message like
"MIDI DATA ERROR" or "MIDI CHECKSUM ERROR".

I tried a few combinations of cubase: midi thru on/off,
and of the DX: local on/off, but that didn't help.
It's an "old" DX7, with 4 banks.

What did I do wrong?

Any tips/hints are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Subjecting gear to extreme temperatures

Watch for condensation as you raise the temp
in the practice space.  Cold gear will condense
water out of the air, even inside the boxes.
This is less than good, though well-designed
gear will put up with a fair amount of it.
I WOULD NOT do this daily. (Cold to Hot, I mean)

To follow up on my own request - I waited up and phoned the people
concerned. They are working on a version for windows, but it won't be
out to US Spring next year. Ditto for a key midiator version.

They are having trouble with the MIDI internals of Windows, and say that
they are very unhappy with the amount that can be done with them. They
are consequently writing their own drivers. This might have some bearing
on the trouble some people are having with the other sequencing programs
under windows.

Actually, how does SMDI work? Where can I get documentation about it?
I'm considering writing a transferprogram for my SCSI-equipped computer.

Any hint is appreciated!

The rack mount TG500 is very similar: the voice architecture is the same,
but the sample expansion is not via SIMMs. There is also 64 note polyphony
(actually you have 2 32 note sound generators, and sounds are made using
waves from either of these generators, so for 64 note polyphony you need
to mix up your voices).

to record played notes and to play recordes notes. So I think
I only need a cheap Sequencer-program, not CAKEWALK or such like that !
Is there PD-Software meeting my demands ?? Or selfwritten programs ?
Maybe someone knows where to get such a program via FTP ?

Please let me know all possibilities to get such a program !

Thanks in advance !

If I see this line posted ONE MORE TIME I'm going to scream. Can't SOMEONE  
who is acting like a net autnority figure in this fiasco admit that the  
subject line could and should have been better labelled? Or is that caving  
in too much? Do you feel you always do everything right and people who  
don't religously read the guidelines must be wrong? Do you feel you'll  
lose your authority status if it shows that one of your own may have made  
a small mistake?

I just want to hear it once. I know you can do it. Just say "The subject  
line could have been worded in a more obvious way". I know you think it  
doesn't matter since the people that didn't read the message are obviously  
"ignorant" and "lazy". But can't you simplay say that it was poorly done?

The name makes think back to a _long_ time ago - anyone remember the
Boss Dr Rhythm (or DR-55 as I think it was called)? A real "drum machine":
4 sounds: bass,snare,open and closed hihat, although the closed hihat was
automatic and not programmable... You could set it to 1/8's or 1/16's or
something. However, there was programmable accent as I recall. 16 patterns,
of which 4 were in 3/4 time or something... I never owned one - anybody
have any more info ?

 I'm hunting around for a workstation setup for home use - but I don't know 
 whether to get a keyboard (an M1 or sy77 etc..) so I can play live, or to
 get an ROLAND SCC1 card so I can utelize my 486DX33 for sequencing!! As far as
  I can work out, the keyboard has 2 advantages -
     1..... Portability ( BIG ADVANTAGE!!!)
     2..... Several come with v.good effects on-board.
 I'm very impressed with Cakewalk Pro and MasterTraks for their ease of use etc. but am put off by not being able to play live easily. Another advantagte of 
 getting the sound card for my computer is that to upgrade all I'll have to      replace is the card - not the whole keyboard!!!  I will greatly appreciate any
 advice from both users of M1's etc... and users of ROLAND SCC1's etc.
  Thanks,

Hi synthie-freaks,
 
I want to build up an archive of many synthesizer's technical data. Now, it
contains onlay a few synths, but in future this should grow. This archive is
available via gopher. If you have a gopher client, it is no problem, you only
have to type 'gopher balrog.dfv.rwth-aachen.de' and you will find the Archive
under 'services'. If you do not have any client, you have the possibility to
login into a public gopher client like 'gopher.micro.umn.edu' and look for
German infosystems (ComNets Gopher).
And now my problem:
  I do not have the time and not the info-material to put the data into it myself.
  And so I hope, you support this idea, 'cause you'll profit of it, and send me
  some technical descriptions (found in the appendix of your synth's manual)
  of your synths. Mail me these description (in a form of a table) to
  broe@dfv.rwth-aachen.edu
  
  If you have any questions, comments or problems, please let me know.
  
Thanks is advance,

   Frank
   
P.S: It could also be descriptions of samplers and Drum-modules.
