HUTCHINGS - PANPAN" Subject: Advice for beginner I am somewhat interested in playing synth w/accompanying samples, etc. What sort of equipment do I need/do you all reccomend (i.e.: Computer, MIDI Setup, Keyboards)? Neophytically yours, Darren ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Jun 1994 07:18:51 EDT From: James Brooks Subject: midi thru What would be recommended as a good brand for midi-thru? I have an ibm and cakewalk and a yamaha-psr-400. And if anyone knows, how do I incorporate wave files into my songs? The software gives me the message insufficient memory. What am I doing wrong? ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Jun 1994 10:21:01 EDT From: James Brooks Subject: Re: midi thru Sorry, Just wanted to add more voices to my music. Is that through sampler keyboards? Or a midi interface? ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Jun 1994 10:06:44 -0500 From: Joe McMahon Subject: Re: midi thru >What would be recommended as a good brand for midi-thru? >I have an ibm and cakewalk and a yamaha-psr-400. I'm not sure I understand your question. The usual reason for using MIDI-thru is if you have multiple keyboards/modules and want to daisy-chain them: computer/interface ---(output to MIDI in)---> Keyboard 1 --+ | Keyboard 2 <---(MIDI thru to MIDI in)---+ It doesn't sound like this is your situation, from what you've posted. What are you planning to use MIDI thru for? Did you perhaps mean a MIDI interface? --- Joe M. -- "Will somebody get the cat off the fender Rhodes?"

I've got a V50 and the Proteus and I thought I could get a sampler of sorts by having Cakewalk play .WAV files from the event list. However, there's a delay when Cakewalk loads the .WAV file (I'm not sure how it works.) The result being you can't loop one .WAV file or play two in a row without a noticable delay. I think the only real way to add voices is by adding another sound module or sampler.
