By the way, I've combined Roland RS-PCM (U-220) and FM (TX81Z) in my 'bedroom setup' and so far I'm also to be listed among those "happy-with- what-they've-got". ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 09 Jun 90 18:38:38 BST From: "Patrick C.K.Tsang" Subject: A little goodbye Dear folks, I am signing off next week to go to America and 'try and make it' over there. I will be in Boston and Toronto for a little chat with some friends and then begin training in Orlando in Direct-to-Disk recording. With any luck I could end up in a studio somewhere willing to take me on. Who knows ? If I don't then I will carry on hunting in Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong. I have chosen to take the path of opportunities and I could either end up doing what I wanted or get totally screwed up but, without trying nobody can ever find their own destiny. It's been a great year folks, and chatting up here has kept me well-informed of what is going on. I will get connected again if I am coming back to England next year, if not then it is goodbye from me. Take care ! Patrick. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Jun 90 15:44:13 EDT From: Patrick Robinson Subject: Re: Goodbye Goodbye!

I spent big bucks that day. ::::: I was stunned enough when old Cockburn stuff started showing up *at all* in the states. In college, we had friends from Canada who would bring us back Cockburn albums after breaks... -Patrick ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Jun 90 06:48:00 GMT From: "Rochester Ins of Tech, Subject: D110->MT32 Emulation Roland MT-32/D110 Owners: To some of you, this might sound like a step backward, but I am trying to make my D110 emulate an MT-32 sound Module. I have some MIDIFILE songs that are voiced for the MT-32, and I would like to hear them in their intended voices. Can anyone provide me with either a(n) Opcode-format (Mac) D110 Bundle to do this, or some insight into the means by which the MT-32 interprets program (patch, not the same as D110 definition) change requests? How is the Rhythm Part set up? What keys correspond to what sounds? FYI, I have all the MT-32's Tones (Bank A, Bank B, Bank R) at my disposal, which makes the creation of such an emulation is fairly easy. However, I need to know the MT-32's tone mapping scheme to pull it off correctly. Thanks for your help! Mark J. Kociscin Apple Student Representative Rochester (NY) Institute of Technology ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Jun 90 10:27:23 EDT From: Dean Swan Subject: Re: D110->MT32 Emulation As I recall, the percussion layout on the MT-32 is just a subset of the D-110, so the factory drum kit on the D-110 should work just fine. If you have the sound banks, load them into the D-110, and away you go. The MT-32 has no equivalent to D-110 patch memory. It would've been pointless since the MT-32 has no battery backup for the RAM. Sorry I can't be of more help, but the only remnants of my MT-32 I still have is some recordings of tunes I sequenced with it (using a sequencer which I no longer have either). Oh! This should make a difference. The PCM table in the MT-32 is TOTALLY different to that of the D-110. You will certainly have to edit the Tones that use PCM's to get the right sounds. -Dean Swan dean@sun.soe.clarkson.edu ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 08 Jun 90 08:38:00 EST From: "William R(ay) Brohinsky" Subject: RE: Effects noise Patrick, the EQ is after the mixer because it is part of the amp-speaker system: I use the spectrum analyzer and built-in pink (they call it white) noise source to tune the EQ-AMP-Speakers to the room, and then forget about them. As for noise from the mixer, I run with the input pads just under clipping for my greatest output, the faders well up(over 75%) on the channels and the master faders in the lowest 20% of their range. If I use more master, the noise is intolerable. The EQ then boosts a fairly clean signal from the mixer, and ensures that my speakers don't color my sound. The mixer also gets mic inputs from an acoustic or 12-string, my voice, my wife's voice, and inputs from a cassette deck. The latter is used for fills on breaks, and occasionally when we play coffeehouses where the other `act' uses taped background. My output is generally cleaner and easier to use than the cofeehouse's. I had thought of the Y-cord, but I was hoping for something that would give me a little clean gain.

Remember, the e-mail is available, even if it's not necessarily the very fastest means of communication. Once you've swapped mail with someone a few times, and talked to them on the phone, you should be able to judge who you'd be willing tto swap addresses with. Just as a thought, it's always possible to rent a post office box if you'd like to exchange mail, but not give out your home address. --- Joe M. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Jun 90 12:27:51 EDT From: Dean Swan Subject: Re: Rolodex > I'd hate to be untrusting, but wouldn't it suffice to give just > a town & state where we live..... No, it wouldn't. Last time I checked, the mail service required a full address to deliver tapes of music we're working on, letters, new synth patches, sequence disks, letter bombs ;-), etc. You folks have heard of home owners (or renter's) insurance, haven't you? Besides, I don't worry too much about my house getting ripped off, as most humans have never heard of Potsdam, NY, and if they have, even UPS has trouble finding my house, with an address like R.R. 2, Box 79. And of course we have a field of "watch-cows" next door, compliments of one of the local dairy farmers. :-) Really now - How can anyone be so paranoid? Barring my philosphy that locked doors keep out honest people, lock your doors. And anyway, if you list your phone number, it's very easy to get the associated address, so lighten up. People are mostly good. -Dean Swan dean@sun.soe.clarkson.edu P.S.

Your story was so captivating, you almost have me in a panic, like Nick. But then, more rational though takes over....... Here's what everyone should do. Go home tonight, write down a list of all your equipment, with serial numbers, and estimated replacement cost. Then tomorrow, go visit yor insurance agent. Then we can all speak freely again, and have our peace of mind restored. Oh, and take your equipment list when you go to the insurance agent. -Dean Swan dean@sun.soe.clarkson.edu ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Jun 90 21:05:00 EDT From: METLAY@PITTVMS.BITNET Subject: Feeling insecure? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- And now for another topic, not too different.... The question of studio security, that has been joked about (nervously) by a number of people, is an interesting one. By sheer accident, I am in the most secure building my studio's ever had; in addition to the usual deadbolt locks and so on, the only access to my house is up a long flight of stairs and across a crowded courtyard full of paranoid neighbors. There hasn't been a robbery up in our court for years; no thief would be that stupid, when there are easier pickings right across the street. But what happens when I move? I have my stuff insured, but that's cold comfort. Physical restraint is wise for live gigs, but it's a pain in the neck for home use. Burglar alarm systems don't give much utility for the money you spend. So what do people do to protect their investments? (Email, please; I'll summarize if there's interest.) metlay ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Jun 90 20:02:00 CST From: jeff beer Subject: protection Insurance, insurance, insurance.

You can get insurance through the union that covers almost everything that could possibly happen (and you can leave your gear overnight at a job, if you were playing a few days in a row), but it's quite expensive. brian ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Jun 90 22:53:07 -0500 From: PXTOM@WIDENER.BITNET Subject: KORG T3 A while ago another member of the list sent out a message with a couple of questions pertaining to the Korg T3.

A member of the >band that I am in has just recently purchased this instrument and we are >curious >about these upgrades etc. Any information at all on the Korg T3 would be >greatly appreciated. I bought a Korg T2 back around January. My curiosity was aroused by the post on the free Op Sys upgrade, as well. I eventually got hold of Korg Tech Support people in NY. The guy told me: (1) something I didn't quite understand about making it easier to use the T* with an external sequencer, and (2) there's a new sequencer function that allows you to more quickly (easily) use a Comination in a sequence. As it is now (I've got ROM version 22), you have to go copy all the program, velocity, keyboard range, etc. crap PARAMETER BY PARAMETER into a song on the sequencer. The upgrade gives you a function to do this w/the press of a button. The newest ROM version is 26. To determine your ROM's version, first save everything to disk (sequence data on mine, but I'd save it ALL if I were you). Power off, then hold down the lower row zero key (the one marked 'Fine') while you power on. The ROM version will appear briefly in the upper left hand corner of the display. The other issue addressed in the previous post was re: the 1Mb of sample memory you can buy. The Tech Support guy told me $250 (US dollars) for the upgrade (that includes installation). Samples can be loaded into volatile multisound or drum kit memory, depending on the manufacturer of the sample disk. Korg expects to have disks available for around $20 (maybe $25?) each ... in around 2 weeks. If you have further questions, you can call Korg Tech Support at: (516) 333-8737 -Patrick ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 08 Jun 90 13:24:37 EDT From: Joecool Subject: loop effects thru amp I hope someone out there can help me with this. I have a craig 60 watt amp with what it calls loop capabilities for effects pedals.(i.e. line out to effect and line in from effect) I am using an MXR metal distortion pedal with my guitar and when I try to use it in the loop method it sounds like it's staticy(sp?) and it goes lower in volume. There are no directions I can find to tell how to loop an effect, just that the amp has this effect. Can anyone out there tell me how to use this loop capability correctly and how to hook it up so as to maximize a good sound? Please E-mail replys to me 'cause I can't use the net much as I'd like to.

This is a common problem, and if someone has a coherent explanation and a correction, I can use it too.

I mean, I realize I don't have much equpiment...only one synthesizer, that is basically out of date, but even so, I don't want it stolen any more than any of you want you equipment stolen. the main reason for having the ROLODEX was so that we could always have a way to contact someone, in case of network problems. I mean, it might be difficult to mail someone a disk of patches for the keyboards, if they lose their address. Or what if someone goes out and buys a VFX or some other awesome piece of equipment, and they are having problems with it, and do not want to wait for the E-MAIL to get answers. I know when I have a question, the cost of a phone call is rather inconsequential when it comes to getting the solution to my problem!!! that is the reason for the list of equipment that you own...why would I call someone with a Roland, if I had a question about a VFX...why call someone with a Mac II, if I had an AMIGA question?? now, if you don't want to include a whole address for fear of having equipment being stolen, I can understand...but the ROLODEX file wasn't intended to be a collection of 'id-files'...it was for us, the subscribers to the list, to build a list of 'contacts', so we could have someone to contact in case of trouble with equipment. I feel several you are more knowledgeable in regards to the topics convered on this list, than anyone I know!!!! forgive me if this sounds rude, but if you don't want to people to know your addresses and phone numbers, and you don't want people calling you (at a reasonable time), and you aren't willing to help others, then why even post your address at all??? tim ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Jun 90 21:05:00 EDT From: METLAY@PITTVMS.BITNET Subject: A-Rolodexing we will go Here's my ROLODEX entry; edit it if you get bored at the length. |-> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAME: Metlay.

Production-wise, I wanna be Quincy ;-) I went to Wisconsin Conservatory and Cal Arts to pursue a classic electronic music composition course of study. I think out of that I really learned I want to rock and roll (in a very funky groove kinda way...) 8-# Real job: I spend my day helping people figure out what computing products they should buy to get their work done at a university. In the process of this I get to buy and play with all kinds of neat hardware and software, mostly for Macs, PCs and un*x workstations. I like this job ;-) Lately I've been running around campus helping people figure out how to connect all of this stuff together and have it talk to everybody elses stuff over our fiber-optic backbone.

Equipment yet to be: I'm a techno-junkie. I want it ALL! Style: None (or so people tell me). Seriously, I wander many hallways, never staying in any one for long. Got your hip-waders on? Heck, I don't know what to call my style... Urban-folk-techno-blues, I guess. Maybe someday some marketing a**hole will tell me exactly what pidgeon-hole fits me. I'll probably laugh in his face... Influences: My parents permanently warped me by exposing me to elevator music (back before it was called elevator music, but not before there were elevators) at a very impressionable age. When I grew old enough to realize what they had done to me, I took corrective measures in the form of heavy long-term exposure to Frank Zappa. Since then my influences have been (that come to mind): Keys: Chick Corea, Lyle Mays, Dave Brubeck, Bill Payne (of Little Feat), Elton John (early [i SAID i was permanently warped]), Donald Fagen, Herbie Hancock, Billy Barber, Laurie Anderson, Liberace (just kidding). Sax: Paul Desmond, Grover Washington. Vocals: Lowell George, Al Jarreau, Greg Allman, Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald, Kenny Rankin [see above disclaimer], Mose Alison, Tom Waite. If you're still reading this, I'm surprised. Real Job: My business card says I'm a microcomputer electronics technician, but I also run the campus computer store, and I am the primary information source for the campus community on anything Macintosh. A great job for a Mac-fanatic, which am I. As you might guess from my Real Job description, I keep pretty busy, which is why I haven't been active on the list since last summer (when I took over the computer store operation). I'm starting to get things organiZe d, so hopefully I'll be filling the bandwidth with my idiot opinions again soon. In the meantime, I do respond to direct email, albeit slowly. ------------------------------ End of EMUSIC-L digest ******************************
