(I am flexible to $600). I am leaning towards the tascam stuff, like the 424 . Does anyone have experience with these machines? Are the fostex machines any better/worse? Thanks a lot.

My needs: 1) portable (to collect samples anywhere) 2) Digital and analog I/O 3) 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz recording 4) Data back-up capability (i.e. backing up Macintosh HDs) Is there a unit that satsifies all those needs? Maybe with some add-ons? IF i sacrifice the portable option, what are my options now? Thanks. -- Arne F.

Yet. Does anyone know where I can get one? Also, how do I hook up the drummachine to my synth so that I can hear both the drum machine and the synth at the same through the synth headphone jack? Do I have to have an external monitor/amp to hear both? I don't want to spend much money, since I'm just dabbling at the moment.

I.e. people that have one in their DDD-1 don't want to part with it. > Also, how do I hook up the drummachine to my synth so that I can hear > both the drum machine and the synth at the same through the synth > headphone jack?

I'd say, that you're keyboard probably does not have an audio in, alas not DDD-1 through your keyboard. You could just get a Y-connector and feed both the keyboard and the drum machine into one set of headphones, but the levels might be really messed up. I had my EPS and DX27 hooked up like that before i got a mixer and it killed the volume on the DX27 so much that i had to keep the EPS very low and the DX27 cranked all the way. Might look for a radio shack two channel mixer. About $40, i'd say. Primitive, yes, but a work-around for now. -- Arne F.

If so you may be able to run the drum machine into the MIDI In port on the synth and then you should be able to hear them. It works on some of my stuff but not all, so you could try it. I really don't know anything about your particular machine though so I say just try it. Andrew ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 23 Apr 1994 15:45:35 -0400 From: "Merrick L.

What are the street prices for the SP, SP II >> I use two SP's with a dedicated hard drive (Peavey Format) with Audiomedia or Sound Tools II. Alchemy is the only wave form editing software for Mac that deals w/SMIDI. Sound Designer V2.5 allows a person to transfer via Standard MIDI Sample Dump to the SP (or virtualy any other sampler). Sound Designer V2.6 DOES NOT allow you to transfer samples to out board samplers (only "internal" transfers to Sample Cell or Sample Cell II). If you get Sound Designer V2.6 ask digidesign to include V 2.5 (digidesign is *generally* very accomodating). Exuse me while I RANT!!!!!......Why on earth did digidesign discontinue Sound Designers sample transfer features!?!?! The need and applications for such a feature is OBVIOUS! It smacks of bureaucaracy and consumer manipulation.......excuse me. Unfortunately, the version of sound designer that comes w/MOST versions of Audiomedia have the Sample Transfer option "greyed out". You can partition the hard drive that you plan to use w/the SP and format one partion for mac and one for dos (Peavey) the main problem with this is the mac will *ALWAYS* take priority on the hard drive. >>any way for handling DOS SCSI drives?<< Yes, but the problem is getting the sound file data from the mac drive/ram to the SP drive/ram....w/out the "engine" in sound designer it won't happen (something could be written in MAX or C-Sound .....alas I have no time) I would love to be able to read/write/share the sound files on my SP's drive with my mac and back-up configuration via SCSI. Right now the only back-ups I have of the SP hard drive are on floppies (160 meg....yuck) Iv'e got over 600 meg of sounds formatted for the SP on floppies and the idea of transfering them to a mac via Standard MIDI Sample Dump so I can back them up on a DAT archive is abysmal. I paid $700 each for my SP's w/2 megs of RAM in each unit. The manual for the SP is (as Nick put it) "an abortion". DO NOT.....DO NOT pour your money down the toilet by purchasing Interval Music's Front Panel editor for the SP called....SP Remote (details via private e-mail if you wish).

How do you do this partitioning? First I've heard of it. I know about the contention problem, and frig round it. >Right now the only back-ups I have of the SP >hard drive are on floppies (160 meg....yuck) You can back up from one SCSI device to another, if you do it a bank at a time. This could be automated via SysEx control of the front panel, but that would be rather fiddly. What's needed is a volume copy operation in the SP itself. >The manual for the SP is (as Nick put it) "an abortion". That's Craig Anderton for you. Couldn't write his way out of a wet paper bag. >DO NOT.....DO NOT pour your money down the toilet by purchasing Interval >Music's Front Panel editor for the SP called....SP Remote (details via >private e-mail if you wish). I have the SP 1.4 SysEx spec here (direct from Peavey US - nice of them; they even phoned me transatlantic). A MAX editor for the data objects is on my list of things to do.

Sounds like a great piece of gear and might actually make my sampler come alive, since the filters are one of the most limiting aspects of my digital gear. At $399, it would be great addition and might make analog samples actually sound somewhat realistic and pliable. Of course playing it would be an interesting MIDI nightmare. Problaby need MAX to patch control messages from the keyboard to the keyboard and the Filter, stripping each in such a fashion that the the keyboard just get pitch and timbre information, while modulation would go into the Filter. Probably could even use hardware mapper for this, tho. -- Arne F.

Our mixing console has a global phantom power switch for all inputs. This was fine until I purchased a tie mic which is battery powered and refuses to operate with phantom power switched in. However we need phantom power for the DI boxes. Is there anyone who can tell me what type of filter or simply capacitor type would be needed to blobk the 48v from going into the tie mic?

I think the internal banks are small than the rack-mount model, but it still has a lot of the best samples from the E-Mu orchestral library. I wouldn't suggest it to someone who already has a keyboard device (like I said, the rack-mount has more sounds, I believe), but it's not a bad little keyboard to start out with...light years ahead of the Korg DS-8 I have plugged into my Mac. The above is true assuming, of course, that E-Mu hasn't discontinued the Proteus 2/Orchestral keyboard version. In that case, I'd be completely wrong. -Jim James M.

It is not to look at. Yes. You're quite right. A trained ear will be able to hear more details than an untrained one. However, there do seem to be some (from the Western musical standpoint) relatively easy-to-hear things (i.e., beats caused by close intervals sucha as a minor second, and the consonance of the octave, perfect fourth and fifth -- I'm ignoring the minor dissonances caused by the tuning system). My guess is that it will be a lot harder to use "music" for anything other than short-term pattern detection and rational relations between data. I'd like to throw it open for folks who *are* trained in classical theory; what other things can you think of that are easily quantifiable and relatively simple for an unsophisticated listener to spot? (Another thing which crossed my mind as well yesterday but which I didn't work into the comments of vision vs. hearing - visual language has a much richer symbolism than does aural. The closest equivalent I can come up with to visual symbols is the leitmotif as propounded by Wagner. This can still be hard to detect in a dense musical passage...) --- Joe M. ----------------------------------------- "It's delightfully stupid." - N.

Here's what the manual says: "DATa is a utility program that allows you to backup SoundDesigner I and II, Sound Designer Compressed, and AIFF format files to a standard DAT cassette. DATa backs up both the audio data in a sound file and the edit/parameter data (i.e., regions, playlists, markers, etc.), allowing you to store all elements of a sound file on tape. To use DATa you must have a Dididesign digital recording & editing system with digital inputs/outputs and a DAT recordere with digital inputs/outputs (AES/EBU or S/PDIF)."
