yes, great aren't they. I'm saving up for a QY20 myself.... As I
remember there are
several books you can buy from Yamaha and I think one of them has the
presets written
out. Also soemthing like TOP40 hist for the QY10.

Even better, you can get a free Atari program, Sqyrell, from Yamaha for
doing bulk dumps
etc. This comes with several banks of new patterns and songs (The SOCA
ones are real killers).

... but then maybe you don't have an Atari. 

I am lucky enough to have Notator running on my atari also, so I can
record QY sequences
and look at score in realtime.

	I have uploaded to louie.udel.edu the contents of the Wavestation SR.
Here is a copy of the letter that I sent to "staff" there:


	It might be desirable to include this letter as README.
	
	I have uploaded to incoming the factory presets for the Korg 
Wavestation SR. So that they may be used by any  Wavestation, I did
the sysex transmission from RAM bank 2. Since many of these performances 
will make calls to ROM banks which only exist in the SR for their 
patches and wave sequences, those performances will probably not sound 
right. Many will though. 

	Hopefully, Wavestation users will have a lot of new material to 
work with even with those performances which don't map correctly for 
them.






	It is worth your while to investigate. The SR has eleven banks,
eight of which will contain new material.

	Have fun!

Yes, the 808 is the drum machine. The 303 is a "Bass accompaniment" but
don't let the name deceive you. A simple 808/303 combination will
give you most the "acid" music. You know the "beep beep beep de dwar dwar dwar"
type sound thange changes timbre, pitch, etc, all over the place. 

Once you play with the two, you'll be amazed how easy the music.

BTW - 303's a _very_ hard to find. If anyone has a 303/808/909 for

	I just received my February issue of Keyboard this morning, and on
page 20,  Emu has an ad for a new sample playback module (a la Proteus 1/2/3)
which features "8 megabytes (expandable to 16) of the highest quality,
digitally sampled classic analog keyboard sounds from the past 30 years."
The ad mentions specifically such classics as Fairlight, Mellotron, OB-Xa,
B-3, Prophet-5, MiniMoog, Fender Rhodes Mark I, Rhodes Chroma, DX-7, Moog
Taurus pedals, ARP String Ensemble, Farfisa organ, Yamaha CP-70, Moog
Modular system, Wurlitzer organ, ARP 2600, and Hohner Clavinet.
	Obviously,  this can't match the originals (being a *gasp* Sample
Player),  but, in addition to the usual G-Chip module specs (32-voice
polyphony, 16-channel multitimbral, 6 outs, MIDIPatch modulation system),
the ad says "We've added 32 of our dynamic analog-sounding digital filters
to give you the kind of expressive control these instruments were famous
for."  Sounds interesting?  (Well,  I suppose it sounds downright
SACRILIGEOUS,  to some...to me, it's interesting.)
	My question is,  is this vaporware?  Any ideas on a release date?
List price?  Anyone heard one,  or heard more about it than the ad states?

I just bought a Macintosh powerbook 160 and I'm attempting to use it with
Opcode's Midi Translator.

I'm using a 2.x version of Finale but can't get the system to respond
properly.

Finale receives some Midi data from my keyboard (such as start the
metronome), but I am unable to sequence or do note entry.

Does anyone know of any problems with using a powerbook and this midi
interface ?

Thanks in advance.

Well,
   Scott does have a point here. SOme misinformation seems to be going around
about the FZ-1, but varying opinions and attitudes can account for much of
this.  What is confusing to one is clear to another.  I just find it VERY hard
to believe that no one (including dealers) know what they are talking about
and therefore are selling it for a grossly low price.  I am not ripping on the
FZ-1, I have never used one and have never offered an opinion as to its
quality, I just am curious as to why it is priced so low.  Hell, it sounds good
to me (anythings got to be less confusing than a TX16W).  I have even
considered buying one from Daddy's Junky Music (priced in the mid $300s) since
starting to read this thread.  I am just cautious about buying something priced
that low.  Is there no reason at all for the price?  Every piece of equipment
has downfalls.....

 I saw one of these units in a music store the other day, and it looked
pretty slick. They were asking $2400, but given the reputation of this
place, I imagine it's a bit steep. I grabbed the literature on the unit,
so I have all the specs, but since I'm new to the electric keyboard
market, I don't know how this unit compares to other units of equivalent
functionality. Can anyone comment on this?

 Also, the January 1993 issue of 'Electronic Musician' happens to have
a review of the Yamaha SY-85. Although this unit seemed to have the same
set of features as the PSR-SQ16, and at the same price, it would seem to
come from a different model line. Is there a major difference between
their 'PSR' and 'SY' series?

I picked up my Mackie from EU Wurlitzer in boston for a mere $315...but
I tend to do a lot of haggling, so it really was an exceptional price..
Personally, I would reduce the price of the used Mackie to about $280,
to really make it competitive.  The other factor that needs to be
considered, is that a mixer is definitely not a low use object...i.e.
You tend to abuse it while you use it...

	Anyway, anyone have any patches to trade?  Any kind.  I'll be
working some off my own soon, and maybe a realtime editor for Max (on the Mac)
for it.  So I don't have to buy a RE-5 or roll my chair over to the rack.

	BTW, this is one *serious* box.  The interface is great (IMHO) and
the sounds are amazing.  True Stereo, Digital I/O, the works.

But, yes, I do.  I have more tolerance for them when someone has posted an
offer that's clearly out of line, such as a very used item for 200% of the
current new street price, but that's not the case here.  In this case, the
seller offered $25 off the best new price anyone has caimed to have spent
for a high demand item.  If the unit is very nearly brand new (perhaps it
was purchased, found to be insufficient for the intended application, and
hasn't seen ANY use), then the offer is very much in line.  If you still
don't think so, make an offer that you feel is appropriate, but please don't
waste the entire net's time and disk space (Yes, I know, I'm wasting your
time and disk space, too. 8-) complaining that an item isn't enough below
current pricing for your tastes!

Note that the MX-8 (was made by Digital Music, now sold by Ensoniq) is a
6-in/8-out patchbay.  I have one left over from running my rig from a
PC.  I have and use the MOTU MTP II.  As best as I can remember, you can
do everything from the front panel that you can do with the Mac, though
the periscope display makes it tough to do it well.  However, MOTU says
they are now shipping an IBM interface, (and I hope software, too), so
reasonable computer control should be possible even without a Mac.)

Once it's programmed, the MTP II works quite well in stand-alone situations,
as does the MX-8.

Feature-richness has nothing to do with how good it is.

What more can I say? I've never used MacCubase, but it's totally
non-Maclike in its interface according to reports I've read. I've used
Performer for years, but now it's getting too feature-rich for my liking.

Need I caution against buying a sequencer package just according to what
Sam Ash salesbots tell you? That would be rather foolish.
