   I'd like to exchange .MID files with a friend who has Sequencer Plus Gold,
   but it rejects the .MID files I have created with Cakewalk Pro 4.0 posting
   the message "not a .SNG file".  Similarly, I can't open .SNG files he has
   generated.  

   Steve Myers -- uunet!etnibsd!steve		

You can save and retrieve .MID files on the Seq+G.  To do this, get to the
files window by typing 'f' from the main or view windows.  What you usually
see is a listing of files saved under the .SNG (Seq+'s song data format).
Next press 'm' for mode.  Watch the upper part of the screen which tells 
you the path and the extension of the files.  I believe that there are four
formats that the Seq+ can handle but I'm not sure what all of them are.  I
do know that it accepts .SNG and .MID and maybe .ROL files.  Once you see 
the *.MID on the top of the screen, you can either save or load files in the
.MID format.  You may need to change the path, depending on where your files 
are.  Look at the menu bar on the bottom of the screen to find that command.  
(I don't have my manual or program with me at the moment.)  I've down loaded 
many *.MID files from the internet and they work fine using this method.

I don't think that your friend's program will understand the .SNG format
so .MID may be the only way that you can exchange songs.

Good Luck!

I am trying to use my Alesis Data Disk with the upgrade chip that
makes it a real time playback machine. However, I can't get the songs
to record to it cleanly. I have a disk with 2 songs on it, showing me
40% disk space used, and the 3rd song keeps giving me a disk error.
Isn't the DOS in the device "smart" where it will skip over a bad
sector and keep on writing?

And Alesis is so thoughtful that they don't include a phone number
with any of their advertising.....

Another minor snag is that I also use Cakewalk software which apparently
sends continuous pulse info because when I attempt to go into the Alesis
"Receive sequence" mode it should pause at "waiting for data" until it
gets a start byte from the source but mine passes right over that to the
"receiving data" mode. Because of that I get 3 or 4 empty "gulps" written
to the disk by the time I can hit the mouse to start Cakewalk. Any ideas
as to what I can do about that?

I'm not going to try and convince John that his Mac wasn't a waste of money;
I don't think it was, he disagrees. I still consider the serial port thing
a red herring; I'm getting some performance problems with complex keyboard
routing under MAX, but that's just the inefficiency of my MAX code. There are
bottlenecks such as these, but they're never to do with the Mac<->MTP
connection.

Maybe Windows will be the MIDI environment to beat all others, but if
it does happen it won't happen overnight, and not even in time for me
to use it to greatly improve my productivity and musical creativity in
time for all the projects I have lined up in the forseeable future
(currently standing at four, all contemporary dance and performance
related). For some reason, I'm shedding no tears.

The System-5 *is* available, btw; I know someone who's had one for months.
I'd think of getting one myself if it didn't cost $2000 over here.

"Following on from 'Keyfax I' (now sold out) 'Keyfax II' provides individual
summaries and specifications of the last of the great monosynths, digital

I'm considering buying a dedicated drum module (no onboard sequencer needed),
and have looked at the Alesis D4.  It has a lot of features I like, especially
the trigger inputs...and the price.  The sounds will be useful for my
applications.  But I've seen ads for the Emu ProCussion module.  I haven't had
a chance to look at the ProCussion, since nobody carries it in my area, and I
was wondering if anybody has experience with it.  I don't want to make a 
decision for the D4 unless I'm convinced the ProCussion has nothing better to
offer.  Or maybe there's something better than both of these units?
I'm clueless about the capabilities of the ProCussion.  I haven't used any of
the other Proteus modules, either, so I'm in unfamiliar territory.  Could
somebody help me out with some recommendations?

Sony's announcement 18 months ago listed the price goal at $25
(discounted selling price) per disc for the "That's CD-R" system.  Even
if/when prices do get that low, it's still an expensive proposition to
use it to produce a CD demo.

As I understand it, the current writable CD marketing effort is not
aimed at consumers, but at people who need to evaluate CDs and people
who do data archival (i.e., people who make CDs out of full disks to
let you get your space back).

If you are creating a CD-ROM product, you need to be able to check the
data integrity and the performance of your CD before you go into
production.  If you are creating an audio CD, you need to be able to
check for audio glitches, song order problems, silence lengths, levels,
and listenability in real environments.  In both of these cases, it's
too expensive to do a real run, and the alternatives just aren't
convenient.

It would sure help if some of the disc makers had a low-run package
for people who just need a few discs, but most of the basic cost in
creating a CD comes from the setup.

If I rem'ber correctly, Korg is owned by Keio (or was, before Yamaha

Roland is owned by Panasonic, who are (correct me if I'm wrong) owned by

	Well, here I am again with yet another question <urgh>.  I am majorly
in the market for a good synth stand (my stuff is sitting on an old Samsonite
card table from the 60's  >^p ).  The three things I will be putting on it
are my Oberheim Xpander, my Casio VZ-1, and my (as-yet-unbought) Emu Emax II.
What I'd like to do is have my Xpander mounted _vertically_ above the other
synths so it doesn't get in the way of the front panel of the Emax below it.
Below that I'd have the VZ-1, and I would like to be able to access its whole
front panel though the Emax will be right above it.  Is this just a pipe dream,
or is there something out there that will accomodate me (hmmm, Pipe Dream, is
that a synth stand manufacturer?  ;->)?  I recall talk of tinker-toy-esque
flexible-mounting stands that would allow me to mount the Xpander vertically 
and be able to put the Emax and VZ-1 as far enough apart as would be needed 
for me two fully access the front panel of the lower one...

   I believe that the groove on a stereo record has a "left" and "right" half.
   The needle of a stereo record player separates these two signals and you get
   stereo.

Nah, you only have one needle, right ? How could it distinguish
the left and right edge ?

My vote (from disassembling my pickup, and also from knowing the
needle may skip on hard drum beats) is for using both right-left
and up-down orientations.

Ah joy, more fun terminology. :) I assume that if a zone contains
three note numbers and you hit the pad or trigger to which the
zone is assigned, you get the sounds associated with all three of
the note numbers?

WIth the Procussion can you assign a specific MIDI channel to a
sound along with a note number.  I could have my one big kit this
way by spreading all the sounds over multiple MIDI channels.
God, but it'll take an eternity to set them all though... :-< I

I went there, and got a BA in Music Synthesis.

In a nutshell, I'll say this about the program: You learn a lot about synth
programming techniques: FM, analog (Xpanders!), and component are all well
covered.  Sampling technique is handled rather poorly.

All the technical info is great.  But it's a terrible place to learn how to
use synthesis in interesting ways, because there are NO awards for
originality.  Most of the teachers in programming classes will give you a
good grade when you come up with good and useful patches.  But when you get
to Composition/Orchestration for Synth (for example), they expect you to
write stuff that sounds like Chick Corea or other fuzak lamers.  So you have
to develop an original style on your own.

Nope.  Not unless you go way out of your way to look for it.

Yes - the start and stop bits.

	Hi Everyone - I recently bought an Oberheim OB-8 Synthesizer in mint
		condition with the original documentation and shipping box.
		The only thing missing is the documentation on using it with
		midi. It's from around 1984, so Midi was an upgrade - the box
		has a sticker that says "midi equipped" - and yes, it has the
		standard In-Thru-Out connectors. It's currently in an Omni
		mode and I have absolutely no idea or clue of it's midi
		operation. Could one of the net-resident analog gurus help me
		with this? Thanks for listening...
