Could anyone give me a summary of each of the various DX7 models
available?  Specifically, what does the DX7 II D or FD models have
over the basic DX7?  Another stupid question: I read that the DX5
is "basically two DX7's in one."  Can anyone elaborate on this?
Thanks!!

Can be done now if the notebook has a serial port. All you have to do is
attach a MIDIATOR PC MIDI interface to the bottom of the notebook with
a strip of velcro. Or maybe that "fat" double sided sticky tape if you
don't want to remove it. For road use it may be better to use superglue,
or Araldite, or....

I understand that they also make major appliances for Japanese consumption.

I'm not using a T1000SE, but Cakewalk runs fine on my 4.77 MHz desktop

Relax ... Yamaha also makes a similar model, but from what I understand
neither model is a "CD factory". I believe that they need special "mother CDs"
that are rather expensive (someone told me $100 a pop). As such they might
constitute a great ARCHIVAL device, but I don't know about demos...

None of what I mentioned is first hand knowledge however. If someone can
shed some more light on those things if I have misleading info I'd sure
like to hear about it. Meanwhile I still have plenty of time left before
I got a new batch of tunes together that I would actually want anyone to
hear!

150 MBit/s is faster than the FDDI spec even allows for.  The internet 
backbone is constructed from 45 MBit/sec links only.  You are hoping for
some serious speed.  Hell, even ethernet is typically only 10 MBit/s.

Only one stereo output.  No onboard effects, in the real sense of the term. 
There are some chorus/phase/flange effects, but they are implemented by using
layers, and that costs you polyphony.

The engine is an extremely powerful sample-playback synth.  Complex envelopes,
two LFO per voice, plus two global LFOs (per patch?  Don't know.)   I think the
samples are good, the presets, (one patch can have three samples playing) are
much better than one would expect (directly usable in many if not most
contexts).  Downside: User Interface from Hell.  I don't know anyone who has
done any serious programming on the 1000 series.  I would like to, what with
the colored noise samples in the Pro-I, but I'm leary of buing one.  Forgot to
mention the "alt-start" interface. The samples have two start points and you
can switch with velocity, pedal, what have you.  It's not a VFX, but it's
something.  The best piano that I know of is the 1000PX or Pro-I.

I have a Pro-II.  Wonderful orchestral sounds.  I got it as a 1200AX (not clear
if any were ever really sold) at the Kurzweil auction.  Upgraded it to the
Pro-II (no front panel badge, foo!) via the K. upgrade kit from Sweetwater
Sound.  Wonderful horns, spectacular saxes.  Makes me wish I was into mimetic
music.  Distancing tools are not the strong point here.

When I say UI from Hell, I mean documentation from Hell, too.  It's clear
enough on how to tweak the foo parameter, but when  I want to make a sound like
a truck-full of...nevermind, I never figured-out how to make it do what I
wanted, and I have to use the tiny display and front panel buttons because most
Editors don't support the 1000-series.  Beware, there are several librarians,
but see that magic word Edit before you buy.

I'm tempted by the Pro-I at $795, myself.  I want the piano, I want the Rhodes,
I might have a use for the organs....but it's the same UI that I love to hate
on my Pro-II.

E.H. says: below $500.00, grab any of the three.  Above $600.00, ask yourself
what exactly you are buying it for--another unit may meet your need more
exactly.  For bread and butter mimetic instrument sounds, they cannot be beat.

	I was having a discussion about synths with a friend of mine last
night and we hit on an interesting topic. In talking about the major Japanese
synth makers (Yamaha, Korg, Roland, Kawai), it became apparent that only Yamaha
has obvious lineage. What we were trying to figure out is, who owns/makes 
Roland, Korg and Kawai ?  Are they truly separate companies, or are they
extensions of say Sony and JVC ?

Do any of you know ?

What would you like to know about it?  I almost bought one back in 1979,
but decided to hold off until I had my Alpha Micro AM-100 system fully
operational.  That took a while, and I never got back to the Casheab.

Here's some information from the literature:

   "Casheab has designed and developed a 32 channel digital sound
   synthesizer for the S-100 bus.  The synthesizer consists of two
   cards: a synth card (SYN-10) and a controller card: (CTR-10).
   The S-100 processor programs the waveforms (1024 words by 12 bits)
   into the synthesizer.  Either 4 waveforms (SYN-10/4) or 16 wave-
   forms (SYN-10/16) can be stored.  Any of the channels can use any
   of these waveforms.  In addition, attack, steady state, and decay
   envelopes can be implemented by the processor controlling each
   channel's amplitude.  Also, the synthesizer incorporates frequency
   modulation, which can be used for vibratp or FM synthesis."

It goes on to describe the software provided for waveform creation,
music compilation, and a "real-time operating system".  It sounded
like it was designed for an 8080, running CP/M, and since what I had
was essentially a modified PDP-11, running a PDP-10 operating system
I figured I'd probably have to rewrite all the software from scratch.

I never did get a chance to actually hear one.  Would've been inter-
esting.

   Well after reading the thread on sequencing packages for the atari ST and
   see it develop into a debate about wish lists for some new interface
   standard for musical instrument interconnection, I decided to put my two
   pacific pesos worth in. It would seem that many people are not reading
   the question carefully enough and jumping to silly conclusions. MIDI is
   fine for what it does - event control over a balanced low speed "network".

Actually, I disagree.  It is *not* fine for what it does.
It is *far* too hard to use, and *far* to limiting, with
its maximum of 16 channels.  The need for all kinds of
midi patch bays and merge boxes and other stuff merely
to tame MIDI enough to hook up a couple keyboards and
a couple synths, a couple 'verbs, and a computer, is
way too hard.  (If you leave out the computer, it gets
even worse, since the computer can fill in for some of
the missing flexibility).

Instead of one cable to hook everything to, I have a rats
nest.

As for optical fiber:  You don't need fiber to get the
bandwidth.  The best reason for going to fiber, in my
opinion is, is noise immunitity, isolation, and the
ability to have long cable runs.  MIDI already requires
optical isolation, but you can't run MIDI over long
distances, without special measures.

MIDI would be OK as a low-speed connection to a real
music-net, but a network it ain't.

Nossir!  It sure doesn't sound like your typical "press this button for 
the perfect sound for your perfect tune" machine.  It sounds like a 
machine that's aimed at the programmers and experimenters, and pardon my 
whining, but, it's about time!  :)
 
Actually, there are been a few machines in the past couple of years, that 
seem to have been keeping the programmers in mind, and that's 
appreciated.  (The Yamaha SY77/99; Kawai K4/K5/XD-5; The WAVE; Ensoniq 
ESQ1/SQ80; Prophet VS).
 
With all this hype (pronounced sh-it) about the 'lovely' new Korg 
machines and all of the other 'tune in a box' machine, it's great to see 
that there still is some developement out there in the area where the 
experimenters live.
 
From a modular/analog fan's point of view, the WAVE could be the most 
important developement since .... since ...... since SOMETHING!  :)

I'd say it's about 86.3% myth.  These guys would come up with songs and
then get some degree of input from one-another.  I think the key to the 
whole thing is that it WAS a competition.  I've read a number of quotes

Perish the thought. I'm one who still refers to Mr. McCartney's wife
as "Linda Eastman." :-) Linda's intellect never struck me as particularly
admirable, nor Mr. McCartney's sense of Beatles history entirely accurate
(he has the revisionist heart of a true publicity hound). Learning Fabs'
lore at Macca's knee sounds like a daunting prospect; witness his mangling
of the Pete Best debacle in Lewisohn's introduction to "Recording Sessions".

Besides, is there no other avenue of information and enlightenment? How
about books? You can learn from books (as Ringo reminded us in a certain
