I don't know that one although I know it supposedly comes standard with a sepcial drum sound library [editor?] Hi Christian..and the net I think Performer is the only answer but some folks aver that Vision is the ONLYone that truly utilizeds the Apple MIDI manager. I don't know Cubase. My bias that you should be thinking about RIGHT now as well as the type of MIDI interface that you are going to buy. Both Perf and Vision each have a designed-for-it-but-for-other-sequencesrs-as-well MIDI interface that might need to be in the final equation of prcice vs you-name-it As a guitar player AND studio ownder I sill think that the footpedal or other control is a pv pivotal item. You might even want to consider a universal or generic MIDI footcontroller, or look into Tom Schlolz's device. Software-wise, I still think that Performer is now a bit more advanced than Vision, but others might argue that the two are nearly equkal thus the comment about considering the interfaces available and the footpedals or controllers, one of which is touted to be a Mattell Power Glove, which can be had at Toys RUs now allegedly for $30 -73- Marshall Gilula ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Dec 1991 07:59:41 EST From: Daniel Dion Subject: Re: midi sequences Please let me know about the equipment you have. I Play guitar too. I have a Gr-50 with a strat and a 386 running cakewalk. Also a Roland 3500S piano. I have a bit of difficulties recording events from the Gr-50 as it sends a lot of wheel information. What do you do ? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Daniel Dion University of Ottawa / Universite d'Ottawa (613) 564-5903 DXD0N@ACADVM1.UOTTAWA.CA =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Dec 1991 08:34:29 +0100 From: roth@IPS.ID.ETHZ.CH Subject: Cubase Hi all, > Cubase is by Dr T? I don't know that one although I know it > supposedly comes standard with a sepcial drum sound library > [editor] I don't know what the question was (missed a posting?), but Cubase for shure is not by Dr. T, but by Steinberg (Germany). I's a sequencer aviable on MacIntosh and Atari ST platforms with quite a lot of features (besides the normal functions for sequencing, it has for example notation capabilities and some small built-in algorithmic composition section). I'd doubt it comes with a drum library or an editor (Steinberg's editor series is called Synthworks, by the way), because editors and libraries would be device dependent and a sequencer is not. European software does not seem to be very well-known in US :-) . Anyone working with C-Lab Notator (Atari) in US? [I do so - I'm just wundering]. - Martin Roth _______________________________________________________________________ _ Martin Roth Martin Roth ETHZ, ips, RZ F16 |\ /|_) Mail: roth@ips.id.ethz.ch Sandacker 14 g 01/256 55 68 | \/ | \ (Student of Computer CH-8154 Oberglatt Science / Engineering) Switzerland p 01/850 32 75 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Dec 1991 09:13:12 EST From: "Simon Weatherill" Subject: Re: midi sequences I use a GR-50 as well and it does send out gobbs of pitch wheel info. That's what we get for using a guitar midi controller - the guitar string can be very expressive. Unfortunately, there is no way of turning off the abundant pitch wheel info. I usually filter them out while sequencing. This leaves me kind of limited, though, since I can no longer use pitch controller (except maybe getting an external foot controller). simon_weatherill@coat.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Dec 1991 19:14:32 -0500 From: "Christian B.

Hall" Subject: Re: midi sequences as for filtering out all of the pitch wheel stuff, i believe cakewalk is capable of doing something constructive with it (copy it all onto another track or something). maybe (if using CWpro) you could write a CAL routine to thin out the wheel controls. --Christian -- ...watching and waiting for the Dao(Tao) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Christian B.

Vision uses Opcode's OMS which Performer doesn't know about directly; I still have to see whether MIDI Manager <-> OMS routing works. I hope to get OMS in a day or two.
