Hi,

        I am a songwriter and I was thinking about buying a synth or sound
module (like Roland JV 80 or Yamaha TG500) but then I only need the sounds
(samples) and I am not likely to mess around with the parameters too much.
I've used a korg M1 and an Ensoniq SQ1+ and they sound fine.

        So to the question : Can I buy a soundcard which sound as good as
any of the workstation/keyboards above ???  I want it to write the backing
music for songs, so good drums, bass and probably piano/strings/brass etc
are required.  probably need about 20 'ish note polyphony.

        I've got a 386DX 40Mhz IBM compatible PC.  Thanks for any help,

I was wondering if anybody knows of any free or reasonably priced
music tools for the Iris Indigo, which runs Unix.

The Indigo has nice DSP/Audio Hardware built-in and some basic
software but I would like to be able to produce MIDI files
algorithmically and then convert (play) the MIDI files either to
a Audio File Format or directly to the Indigo sound system.

Does anybody have any pointers??

Thanks in Advance,

I thought the most amazing product was Coda's announcement of a 
software package that translates any scanned printed music into a 
standard midi file.  And then there was the debut of Vivace and 
Finale 3.0.  Lotsa good stuff.

Morning all

I was so knocked out with the sounds of the Roland scc-1 card that I bought 
another - the idea being that I could pre-determine my own note preferences, 
note overflow, potter with the voice parameters and still have an original, 
and generally not run out voices, etc...Problem is, I can't talk to the 
second card!

I am using a 386 with Voyetra SP Gold.  The first card is set up as the midi 
interface as well as a tone generator, the second card I want to act purely 
as a tone generator.  I know I could run a midi cable from one to the 
other - but that kind of defeats the object in as much as:

	1 - I want the least clutter as possible...and

	2 - this won't allow me to access both cards with different info, on 
            the same channel

So - (I know, get to the point...) I want to to access each card from a 
different port.

I have set the second card up as IRQ 2 to 7, and even disabled the IRQ by 
removing the jumper - no luck, Voyetra can't find it. 

I have installed Voyetra to 'find' the second scc-1 as an ibm MFC - still no 
luck...

Therfore - does any one have any ideas? (printable ones...), or have a fax 
number for Roland in the USA? 

Thanx in advanx - Richard

As all of you who are in posession of a sb knows, playing back midi
files through the sb fm chips is not much to write home about.
Does there exist any paches for the fm chips (sysex files?). Is there

The Korg 01/W FD does not read/write standard midi files.

The newer model Korg 01/W Pro does read/write standard midi files.
The top of the line model 01/W ProX also can read/write
standard midi files.

If you have a standard midi file, simply play it back through
a sequencer that reads standard midi files, and let it output
the midi stream to your Korg 01/W FD.

There is a news group dedicated to sound cards.  I read it for about a week
from that sample, there doesn't seem to be anything out there for you.  The
(or one of the) best sounding cards, Turtle Beach, is probably equivolent to 
what you have (maybe below).  Most of the others use 4 mod synthesizers.  
I don't think that drums are included.  Anyway, if you want to start looking
Turtle Beach sound card (~$600) may be a place to start.

Hi Reid,

I had trouble initially printing Finale output on our postscript
printers.  We have a Tektronix Phaser III and a SPARC Printer.  Neither
would print the output correctly.

However, when we upgraded our SPARC Printer from NeWSPrint 1.0 to 2.0
it worked!  Looks great too!

The PostScript output from Finale includes the music fonts.  This
requires some new level of PostScript which allows the embedded fonts.
I thought it was either PostScript Level 2 or PostScript with level 2
font support, but I wasn't able to find the reference (I looked in the
NeWSPrint 2.0 release notes).  In any case NeWSPrint 2.0 now supports
this.  I hope you're using NeWSPrint, especially since you work at
Sun!!!  -- If so, upgrade and go!!

I haven't looked into the possibility of upgrading the Tektronix, I
doubt it's possible.  Perhaps someone knows the correct name for this
PostScript functionality?

Good luck,

Chris.

Hi, all once again!

Is it possible to play .WAV files within a MIDI sequence under Cakewalk

It would seem that it would be a nicety to be able to insert a trigger
to load a .wav file and signal a sound card to play it at a given time
frame.

Does ANY sequencer do this presently?

I have a PAS-16 for the sound card, and a MPU-401 for the MIDI device.

  Hello, 

    I'm trying to print a PostScript file created by Finale on a

    The printer or PostScript viewing software (ghostscript) does not recognize 
    the PostScript output transfered from the Macintosh.  I have tried 
    setting the `include fonts with listing' and `epsf output file' options
    in Finale.

    I have access to FrameMaker on both the Mac and the Sun so it should
    be possible to import' the PostScript file on the Mac and use MIF
    to transfer it.  (Can this be done? -- how?)

    Has anyone been able to print Finale output on a Unix printer?

I'm looking for information on the Tascam 488/688 recorder/board products.  
Does anyone have an opinion on the sound quality of the mixer/recorder, 
transport durability, MIDI sync features, etc. of these products?  I'm 
hoping one of these decks will be useful in a personal demo studio 
environment.  

I would also like to communicate with someone looking to sell one of these 
decks.  I have a QSC EX1600 that I'd like to trade, or cash.
