I consider it to be the best-arranged, cleanest, least-aggravating librarian program for the Mac right now. I got my copy for free when I bought Vision, and love it to death. I may upgrade to the "Plus editors" package, but I try to avoid such things by buying synths with easily usable front panels. |-> -- dr. michael metlay | and she's a master of return hitting atomic city | giving rhythm to her posts p. o. box 81175 | so you read her and think hey it sounds good pittsburgh pa 15217-0675 | and wish her posts had a soundtrack too metlay@netcom.com | (f. ercolessi) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Nov 1992 20:17:00 EST From: rg8 Subject: Re: Re: Editor/Librarians >>I ran across an ad for OPCODE's Galaxy Plus Editors software for the >>Mac in this months Keyboard magazine.

My home studio became a nice place to work when I got a MIDI Time Piece and installed Galaxy Plus Editors. Unfortunately there are some nice synths (good sound possiblities) out there which don't have nice front panels :-).

I am rarely involved w/ any high end studio stuff but I have made a few commercial jingles in which I used them. However; as anyone who has this knows,it's like having any of the things in life that we take for granted, Once you have had it, you can't liv e without it. If you use Vision, it is possible to copy the patch names right into the sequencer, no hunting for numbers of cut/pasteing names,very conveinent Here is a number for Computers and Music, they have the lowest price that I have found 800-767-6161. Hope this helps __Cliff ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 Nov 1992 10:39:00 CST From: HODGES@UWSTOUT.BITNET Subject: Looking for band in a box files I am looking for a source of music files compatable with the Band In A Box program.

Palleschi" Subject: Looking for patches for D-5/10/20/110 Roland synths A few weeks ago I bougth a Roland D-110 expander. Yes. I know it is a quite old gear but, on the scale of my (very low) playing ability, I am enjoing a lot the features of this module (it was relatively cheap for me, too...). I am quit satisfacted of the sound of the D-110, except for what concernes the piano section. I have found somwhere on the net a definition of this sound as "thin and crystalline", but I believe it is really innatural for this kind of section. Could someone send me some hint/trick for making the D-110 playing better the Piano ? By the way, I own a very cheap keyboard, and its piano sound is MUCH better than the D-110 one.... I believe that the LA method should be a little bit more efficient. I am waiting for your help. More in general, I am surprised about the small number of PD patches which are available on the net for the D-10/D-110/MT32/etc. I have already visited the two classic ftp sites (ucsd.edu and louie.udel.edu), but I am sure that some of the users of this synths have produced a lot of new sounds. Would someone kindly send me some of these? In the future, when I will became more expert, I will probably send them back some other sounds :)... Thanks a lot in advance.

I believe the D-5/D-10/D-20 had two banks of samples, whereas the MT-32 and the CM-32L have only one, and organized differently. The D-110 could be on the MT-32 side. -- Adam Mirowski, mir@chorus.fr (FRANCE), tel. +33 (1) 30-64-82-00 or 74 Chorus systemes, 6, av.Gustave Eiffel, 78182 Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines CEDEX ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1992 07:45:08 EST From: Bernadette C Himaras Subject: midi files Hi I am developing some children's games for the PC. I have an ATI Stero/FX sound card (Sound Blaster compatible). I am incorporating background music and am looking for a source of midi files. Can anyone recommend a source of midi files? Thanks. -- Bernadette Himaras ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 1 Nov 1992 04:03:12 EST From: Ernest Ruppenthal Subject: Notation Software Is anyone familiar with Thoughtprocessor's "The Note Processor"? I've been looking at several notation software packages and recently came across this one I hadn't heard of before.
