I use the PC Midi Card. No problems at all.
It is compatible with the 'industry standard' Roland MPU-401

Performer (first 3.61, then 3.64) would crash on me with annoying
regularity, *until* I turned off After Dark.  It hasn't crashed since.

I've got 4.01, and it has a few changes:
  Better consoles (sending sys-ex, among other things)
  A humanize function (seems to need very careful tinkering with
  the parameters, of course)
  General cleanup, including making it 32-bit clean.

I'm trying to get Performer 3.61 to work on my Powerbook 140, using an
Opcode Professional Plus midi interface.  I'm not getting any midi output
at all.  I know about the serial port problems on the Powerbooks, but I
should be getting something out of it!

Does anyone have any suggestions?

My original point was to remark about the problem *I* had with MOTU. That was
they wouldn't return my calls/letters/e-mail, or at least it was difficult to
get them to do so. I get frustrated at unkowledgeable tech support, like you,
but I guess I'm a little more forgiving in that I give people at least
*some* credit when the perception is that they are trying to improve
the service they provide. The call I got from  Neil was a marked change from
any past dealings I had with MOTU.

That was my only point.

Nope, mine would die as well whenever After Dark started up a complex

the problem, and they were already aware of it.  The bad news is that
there's no plans for a fix...:-(

Hi there !

I have extracted and notated several 4-voice choir parts from a big 
handwritten partiture. The job was done on a PC running Musicator GS for 
notation and a kyeboard. Now I just heard, that the orchestration parts are 
going to be notated too. It would be fine to be able to put together the 
whole partiture now in quality printing, BUT: The orchestra parts are 
notated with Finale on a Macintosh.
 
I once tried to feed a Mac with a standard midi file using the Mac's 
superdrive (that is able to read/write PC diskettes). That particular Mac 
had a small program (can't remember it's name) that was supposed to read and 
write midi files. But I never got my file into the program because of  
(probably) file format problems.

Has anyone out there imported a midifile from PC to a Mac ? What procedures 
are needed ? Would it be easy/easier/at all possible ;-) to hook up both 
machines and transfer the file through midi cables ?

Any good suggestions are highly appreciated.

Of course.  The SY77 voice structure is much more sophisticated.  It simply
takes more memory to store a patch.  Also, don't forget that the SY77
works with banks of 64 patches so there had to be 32 extra empty patches
as place holders in the output file.

The DX2SY program does not create a SYSEX file.  It creates a file that
may be loaded via the floppy drive on an SY77 (I believe you should name
it with a '.J01' extension).

Well, there are quite a few utilities for the Macintosh that let you read

Does anyone know what a Emulator IIIXP is? The specs I have are only the black
full page advert in the latest (the UK "latest") Keyboard magazine. The specs
make it sound a bit like an upgraded Emax II rather than the EIII. I.e. based
on the G chip ("32 mono voices, 16 stereo voices").

If it is based on the G chip, I suggest we vote Emu 1st place for creative

------------------------------------------
 ATARI AT ATARI MESSE - THE NEW WAVE BEGINS
 ------------------------------------------
 
 Every year, Atari holds a huge trade show in Dusseldorf, Germany. 
 Spanning roughly four football fields of floor space, the show this
 year is similar in size and attendance to last year's event.
 
 The announcement of the Falcon 030 to the largest Atari show in the
 world was the first order of business.  According to Nathan Potechin,
 "there are Falcons all over the floor of the show, in almost every
 booth."  Clearly, the nearly-accurate profile of the coming machine
 offered by most of the Atari media across the last months was not
 missed by the showgoing Atari Messe audience, and the excitement in
 the crowd was ecstatic as they experienced it firsthand.
 
 Many vendors had new applications that expose the power and features
 that are new on the Falcon 030.  DMC Publishing (Calamus) again had
 the largest booth on the floor, spanning 4,000 square feet with about
 40 people working in it alone.  Other large booths included TMS,
 Matrix, 3k, and Maxxon.  Many new products were shown, and we will
 report on them in detail in a later release.
 
 MARKETING PLANS, PRICE FOR FALCON IN USA
 
 The hottest news at 5:00 PM Friday evening in Germany after the close
 of the first day of Atari Messe was the unveiling not only of the
 Falcon, but of the plans that Atari has to market the new machine in
 the USA.
 
 The "base" Falcon 030 will retail for $799 in the USA in a one-
 megabyte configuration.  The next option up the scale will be a four-
 megabyte RAM with 65 megabyte hard drive Falcon at $1,399.

Interestingly enough the UK base price is $499. Since the dollar is a bit
low at the moment, this is almost US$1000, but even so, given 17.5%VAT this
price almost seems - dare I say it - reasonable?

Also interesting, the processor chipset (68030 + 33mhz DSP56K) is the same
as that found in Peavey's SP, except more powerful. With MIDI already built
in, it would seem a good marketing strategy for Atari to bundle a programme
making the Falcon into a sampling module. If not, then someone's sure to
write one. And, the Falcon has the ability to sample (if it has the
appropriate software).

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PROGRAMME THE 56K DIRECTLY, OR IS IT
DEDICATED TO THE SOUND HARDWARE? Atari claims that the two processors give a
total processing power of 35MIPS. This figure would be rather, ahem,
"misleading", if you can't programme it.

The article I read stated that there was a socket into which a 386SX chip
can be inserted, giving IBM compatibility. I think you need a PC monitor
before you can use it. Not too sure on this. Bet the MIDI port won't look
like an MPU-compatible tho' (will be impressed if it does).

to v. 4.01 for something like 40 bucks.

It's my first experience with such software.  Sure is crash-prone (or is any

Hmm .. the Minimoog is a rather simple synth but gives fast access to
soundparameters while playing (e.g. Manfred Mann soloing)!
The sound is not penetrant but is very recognizeable even when mixed
back in the very background (e.g. basses, sololines etc.).
On the other hand it can be very bothering when it's getting out of tune 
(listen to the black Uriah Heep Live record or the very early Manfred Mann
LPs). So making a Mini sounding good isn't a big job but needs nevertheless 
a lot of attention ..
