Hmm. That reminds me: is the Peavey SP doing SysEx yet? Last time I
checked, it didn't; floppy or local SCSI disk only.

Oh, yeah; that was an interesting little episode. We want to get a detailed
follow-up published.

Oh, by the way, as you can probably tell: I'm back, soft-of, via a lot of
hastily knocked-up scripts and external routines, MicroPhone II, Eudora
mail reader, MacSLIP and other stuff which lets me plug my PowerBook
directly into the Internet.

Another by-the-way, did you know that a PowerBook 140 can be turned into a
170 by a daughterboard swap? I'm hoping to get mine done next week.

Yet another: anyone played with the Fostex MIDI mixer yet? I'm very
interested in building a live rig round a pair of them, but the 78dB noise
floor isn't exactly thrilling...

The DX7 is the original 6 op FM synth. The DX7II was the second 
generation 6 op FM synth with an enhanced architecture. It was
capable of split, layering, and receiving on 2 MIDI channels
(bi-timbral). 

The DX7s came out later and was a 'budget' version of the DX7II.
It had the enhanced FM architecture but was not capable of
split/layering and could only receive on one MIDI channel.
So really the DX7s is the next generation DX7, while the DX7II
is the next generation DX5.

I'm shopping for my first keyboard/synth and have 2 questions:

(1) Reliability.
Is there is any great difference in reliability among the major synth
manufacturers (Ensoniq,Yamaha,Roland,Kurtzweil,...)?  I ask because I was
told by a salesperson at one store that they didn't carry the Ensoniq brand
because of reliability problems (always "in the shop").

(2) Keyboard.
Are there any other keyboards similar to the Ensoniq KS-32?  It's the only
reasonably priced (under $2K new store price) keyboard that I've found so
far that gives you a good bit of everything, with expansion capabilities.
As this is my first keyboard, I haven't developed any preferences yet, and
so didn't want to spend more.  I looked for the following features, in order
of importance:

* good feeling, weighted, full-size or near full-size keyboard
* reasonably flexible sound module, with a large number of voices/timbres
* flexible midi control functions (keyboard splits, layering)
* built-in basic effects
* built-in basic sequencer (although will use a computer later)

A separate controller and sound module with more capabilities would be well
over my $2K limit, I think.

Thanks,
Bryan

Subject: Midiator interface
Organization: University of Hawaii

Date: Fri, 20 Nov 1992 17:48:42 GMT


	There has been a lot of MIDIATOR bashing lately that is
not strictly warranted.  This serial to MIDI interface is a special
purpose device that works very well in its intended function.
	There is a misconception that it is a general purpose MIDI
to serial translator that can be hung on any serial port.  It may
be true that the company is not making this quite clear.
	The MIDIATOR is special in that it requires a rather obscure
baud rate, and derives power from of all things, the transitions on
certain lines.  It also requires somewhat unusual wiring to hook
up a pin not usually employed in serial transmission.
	Also the MIDIATOR has to be "pumped up" before it can be
used.  The driver provides a special routine that transistions the
line to the various ports searching for the MIDIATOR and also attempting
to wake it up.  It returns where the MIDIATOR was found and which
exact version was found.  Until the MIDIATOR has thus been initialized
it is not ready to work.
	This is described in the easily obtainable driver kit.  Even
here the documentation is slim except for the examples provided.
	In short, the MIDIATOR is a great interface that works smoothly
with hardware which can handle its strange baud rate and software that
has proper drivers in it.  Many commercial programs have these drivers
included.  I routinely use the MIDIATOR on IBM type portables and
desktops.  I even keep it plugged into a second serial port when
not in use with the portable so I can rapidly switch between two
stacks of synthesizers used for different purposes just by telling
my usual software to use the MIDIATOR drivers instead of the MPU-401
interface.  It is worth the few bucks to get the cable they sell at
the same time you buy the MIDIATOR.

	If you decide to purchase this device for use on an unsupported
machine, you must be prepared to secure the additional slim documentation
and code in the driver kit.  Even then lashing up a working system
with appropriate cable and baud and data settings, and if necessary
hammering out new drivers yourself in assembler is not a task for
the technologically challenged.

	It may be fair to criticize the company for allowing the
impression that this is a general purpose MIDI to Serial translator
to persist.  It does work very well when connected to hardware it
is designed for and coupled with software that has the special
MIDIATOR drivers in it as an option.  If you buy the unit to
use on a random serial port, you will need to spend considerable
time and effort getting it up and running.  You will need to
tackle some minor hardware problems and some fairly major software
problems at the driver level if you stray from the platforms for
which the company already has drivers available.

Hallo,
This question might have already been beaten to the ground but 
I tried to scope a MIDI signal and I didn't quite understand what
was going on electrically. I am trying to build a simple MIDI interface 
that simply translates parallel or serial bytes from my PC into MIDI's
31.25 Kbaud. I've seen some talk on this newsgroup about something that
hangs off a serial port and converts stuff to MIDI. Are these things readily 
available and cheap?  If they are please tell me where I can
order. Otherwise I am going to try building one using a Motorola
68HC11 MCU and would like to know more details about the electrical
specs of the MIDI signal.

Hi !

I've got a simple question:
Which sequencers are able to do MIDI via RS232 ?
The reason for my question is that MIDI actually is in RS232-protocol.
You only have to change the baud-rate and it works.
To do that you unfortunately have to exchange the quarz on a usual serialcard
which might require a bit of experience but only a tiny little bit :)
These selfbuilt interfaces cost under $10 I suppose. (mine did)

So: Question again:
 Which sequencers do support COM ?

Organization: CS Dept, Ball St U, Muncie, Indiana

Hi there...first off, I am using Cakewalk Pro 4, a Sound Blaster Pro,
and two synths:  a Korg DS-8, and a Kawai K4.
(IBM 386, 33MHz, DOS)

My problem is this:  I can do SysEx data dumps back and forth between
Cakewalk and my Korg no problem...but not using the Kawai.  What's 
annoying is that 12 Tone Systems even put the proper DRM for the Kawai
on the original progam disk!  (This is the first few bytes requesting
a data dump...I've checked these...they *should* be correct:
   F0 40 00 02 00 04 00 00 F7
   |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |- End of transfer

   |  |  |  |---------------- Function Group # for Data Dump All
   |  |  |------------------- Channel #  (why is this not 1????)
   |  |---------------------- K4 Id #
   |------------------------- SysEx Message

When I try to recieve, everything appears to be hunky-dorey, no problems,
but when I try to send, the K4's MIDI receive light comes on but only for
about 1/2 a second, when it should be receiving for at about two secs, which
indicates to me that the data being sent to it is corrupt...yes?
(by the way, nothing in the K4's memory changes)

So...I looked at the data received and found that it had indeed been changed...
but just one byte, the 4th one from 02 to 22.  Hmm...
(not counting all the data received...the F7 byte is still at the end)
I don't know what Function Group 22H does or is, so being inquisitive,
I changed it back to 02 (I assume that it sends a SysEx send request?)
but nothing different happened.

I have successfully done MIDI dumps with the K4 using a Korg Concerto 
sequencer in the past, and yes, all the MIDI send/receives are 
what they should be set to on the K4 (MIDI Channel #1 is my send/recieve
channel...so why is the Channel # 00 and not 01?  I wrote my
own DRM with the channel # as 01 and it didn't work (obviously).

if anyone has any help/suggestions/or has had this happen to them, would
you please let me know?

The original DRM for the Kawai K4 was written by Christoper Moreno,
I am trying unsuccessfully to reach him as well...

Well, I use a Proteus model MPS+ with Cakewalk Pro for Windows, and,
when Windows is in enhanced mode, it happens that some notes stay and
I use the panic button. It works.
If you use another program, check if your Proteus receives the
'All notes off' message, which is [Chan. Control. 128 000] for
each channel. You can do so by selecting [MIDI IN ACTIVITY] from
the master menu, you will see all the messages your Proteus is
receiving.

The K4R is still being made I think so you could try contacting

The K4R uses sample waveforms as the basis for synthesis. There
are n waveforms (around 200 I think). You cannot add new ones.
2 oscillators per voice. Filters have resonance for some nice
analog-type sounds. Ring modulation available for raunch.
Dynamic voice allocation. Fairly easy to program. Excellent

are some excellent 3rd party sounds available. There are some

256 waveforms, for what it's worth.

4 oscillators, actually.  I'm not nitpicking; honest.  :)  You can do a lot
with 4 oscillators; ya can't do much with just two.

Also, for those who care, it's 16-bit @ 32 kHz, which is decent enough.
