Run.  Do not walk (OK, drive if you want) to your finest Newage record 
store and buy Michael Stearns "Encounters".  It's exactly what you're looking
for.

Another you might look for is Peter Seilers "Passages".  The albums is
made of music written for the Voyage to Mars in Jan. 1994 (I think).  
Apparently there is a window during that time where the planets are in
ideal locations for a manned spaceship voyage to Mars.

FYI, "In A Lifetime" is also on the new CD "Anam."  It's mostly new
material except the Bono song and "Harry's Game," which gained some
commercial use because it's played in the background of a scene in "Patriot
Games." Great album, especially good as an intro the the group,
though probably not as representative as "Past Present."

Date: 8 Sep 92 17:53:54 -0500
Organization: University of Northern Iowa

Hello,
  Well I jumped in head first and bought a sy99 and a couple of pedals, they
were 8 weeks old and got them for $2417.  Not too bad a buy, I don't thin, but
it still leaves me plenty of a wyas down in the hole, so I wnated to know:

   1)  What is a cheap sampler that will work well with the sy99?  I heard of
that real cheap one PEAVY makes and that would be no problem since I could edit 
the samples with my SBP before I use the sampler on them and hope I get it
right on the come across.  Can this thing sample pretty long samples?  What
about a nice board for my computer that would allow for midi sample transfers
to my sy99?  

   2)  Are there any ftp sites for voices\waveforms\multis\songs\etc.. for the
sy99.   I assume there probably is, but I have had no luck.

   I know that a bunch of the postings here are questions from novices (like
me) and that tends to annoy some people, but I am learning.  Hopefully soon I
can bitch about all the questions asked as well  :->
   Thanks in advance....

Make that area (510) now.

I called them just on the chance that they might support the Chroma.  No, they
don't, but I spoke to Tony, who was friendly and helpful and very honest about
the amount of MIDI control you can get over things like the JP-8 (he doesn't
claim velocity support--those who do are kludging it with volume control).

They have products for the Moog Source, several older Oberheims, including the
OB-X and XA, and they have some new adaptors in the works, including some odd
ducks like the ARP Quadra.

I'm not affiliated, not even a customer, but I have to put in a good word for
their attitude.  I'm sure you can get informed, detailed, information about
their products, and, sad to say, that's rare.

Since your budget is limited, you may want to go with some sort of sampler.
The Ensoniq Mirage is a cheap sampler that is gritty sounding and is good
for techno type stuff. It is not that easy to do your own samples since
it only has 2 LED hex display, but there are lots of samples (including PD)
available and you can get a computer-based ed/lib. Some sort of analog
poly synth (any of the Roland Junos, JX8P, Oberheim Matrix 1000, etc.)
in conjunction with a Mirage might be just the thing.

The Yamaha TG55 and Kawai K4R have digital samples and have filters with
resonance for some analog-like sounds. The Kawai K1 is very girtty sounding
and is also good for techno/house type stuff.

The Boss drum machines (DR550, 660) have samples of the now classic Roland
drum sounds such as the 808 & 909. The R8/R8M have several cards you
can get with samples of the 808, 909, etc.. Or, buy another sampler, and
use one sampler as a drum box. There are tons of sampling CDs with
'acid' and 'house' drum sounds - just check the ads in Keyboard.

Subject: Looking for samplers

I am interested in buying a sampler, problem is I have very little
experience in this area.  I have used an Akai S-950, along with a Mac to
handle some simple settings on the machine.  What is available out
there?  Some limitations.
Cost.  I am looking for low end (not the Casio SK thing).
Keyboard or rack mountable is fine, I have an Amiga computer with software.
Storage.  Needs to be able to store to floppy, or hard drive (all models
are SCSI now, right?)
Expandable.  I probably won't have any money to purchase more RAM, but
sooner or later or like to expand what the default configs are.

Does anyone have something that will fit into this definition for sale? 
Or better yet, do people know what kind of equipment is out that fits
into this definition?

Well, the Akai S-1000 can supposedly do it, but I don't know how well.
And then there's the ASR10, which does it transparently, but that's the
only one I can think of....

>(Unless it were Ensoniq, of course. A requirement I didn't mention is

...and since the ASR10 is an Ensoniq, it's off your list. Sorry, dude.
Maybe the K2000 will do it (since, as John 3 pointed out recently, it's
supposedly going to do everything an Akai S-1000 can and then some). But
we won't know until the K2000 sampler is actually out there.

I thought the Super Jupiter was an earlier, rack mount, analog beastie.
The JX10 came much later, after the JX8P. The Super Jupiter was also
known as the MKS?? (80 perhaps ?) and the rack version of the JX10 was
known as the MKS?? (70 perhpas ?). I'll have to look at my old Roland

MIDI is "good" for music, but it does seem to be a pretty accurate form

I've been reminiscing about my youth lately. Back in the days before
electricity, I used to practice on the same instrument for hours at a
time every day. This went on for many years. As well as practicing, I
studied the techniques developed by past masters. I also studied and
came to understand their transcriptions of music originally composed
for other instruments. All of this gave me a sense of development,
growth, and increased intimacy with my music and with tradition and
culture.

In the post-acoustic age I find myself working with instruments that
have clearly finite shelf-lives. Obsolescence,upgrades,operating systems,
and incompatability lead to the development of electronic music as a
culture of disposables, which will have no history other
than a collection of recorded noises with accompanying liner notes.

General MIDI carries the potential of developing a literature and
body of work that is music relevant rather than techno-relevant.
I applaud its coming.

I know this has been discussed to death here before and I didn't pay
attention then because I wasn't interested in the system (I can fumble
around well enough right now), but now I have a friend who is looking at
it.  So, any opinions would be much appreciated.

Just a little background on the situation: my friend is a decent guitar
player and singer, so he knows some theory.  He's most interested in the
"interactive"-ness of the Miracle system.  The price he saw for it is $400.

If someone's got a saved batch of old articles on this just send it to me.
Thanks much!

You dont specify what software/hardware you intend to use or obtain for this 
purose...this may well determine the method(s) available..
Most methods will produce artifacts of some sort, such as comb-filter like
resonances and or temporal smearing, particularly with stretching.
	Another possibility however is by sample granulation, which doesnt
require frequency domain representations a la FFT, and will probably take
less time to compute.
  Some samplers also do timeshift (s1000) as does sound designer, and a few 
other sample-editing systems but they mostly(in my experience) suffer from the 
problems mentioned earlier..
	BTW the wording of the first method implies that you do want to shift
pitch...
