There is a Cakewalk discussion list on the Internet. The address for the list is cakewalk@lists.colorado.edu. To subscribe you have to email to the list processor. I think the address for subscriptions is: listproc@lists.colorado.edu. Someone correct me if I'm wrong... I understand that Twelve Tone does monitor that list. As for email, it is possible for them to both send and receive email to the Internet from Compuserve. I would tend to agree with their primary choice of using Compuserve, as they have all the Compuserve functionality in addition to Internet email access. I don't think it would serve them as well to get a direct Internet connection. I think most of us have the blinders on when we think that the Internet is The Only Way to Go(tm) for networking. It may be great for us net.surfers, but it is much less advantageous for non-academic, non-network-vendor companies... (And the learning curve for most people to figure out the Internet is just too prohibitive for people who have to make a profit to survive!) -Doug ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Jul 1994 13:23:26 -0500 From: Russ Dewey Subject: 12tone needs an internet discussion list Kevan wrote: > twelvetone systems doesn't want me to use internet to ask questions, but > rather compuserve. i don't have access to compuserve. and i'd rather > not spend three bucks on a phone call if i don't have to. I think they are being a little backwards if they refuse to get on the internet. They could get a nice little list going, I'll bet. Let's write them and suggest it in a friendly way. Could somebody post their Compuserve address here? Then we can send them mail from the internet and let them know we are "out here."

Just select all the tracks you want to edit and run the CAL program. >forgive me if the answer to this is in the manual, >but: > >is it possible to run a program on more than one track at a time? >can you run a program on one track and it affect/insert/delete data in another > track? > >klm ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Jul 1994 16:37:02 CDT From: "Kevan L.

Moore" Subject: cakewalk CAL question hello. i have a simple question. i've been asking someone else for help, but i'm afraid i'm wearing him out, so i'll ask the list: is it possible in CAL to insert note events into more than one blank track at once? i know the (insert (makeTime 1 1 0) 1 NOTE 60 127 120) cmd should stick a quarter note Middle C in the first measure. but how can you specify which track? can you specify directly which track is written on without pre-existing events detected by the forEachEvent command? i want to start with a blank slate & fill multiple tracks with calculated notes. i've tried going changing the selected track by : (TrackSelect 1 0) ; select track 1 (insert the note) ; (TrackSelect 0 0) ; unselect track 1 (TrackSelect 1 1) ; select track 2 (insert the note) ; (TrackSelect 0 1) ; unselect track 2 : : and i've also tried making the tracks map to different channels and changing the channel parameter in the (insert...) command to write to different channels, all to no avail. twelvetone systems doesn't want me to use internet to ask questions, but rather compuserve. i don't have access to compuserve. and i'd rather not spend three bucks on a phone call if i don't have to. help? anyone? anyone? kevan l. moore klm ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Jul 1994 14:16:00 CDT From: "Kevan L.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong... The listserv address Doug gave is correct; I just signed up for it. The introductory blurb did not mention archives...does one of you know if they have been keeping an archive of list messages? If so, that's probably a good way to get lots of tips about Cakewalk in a very short time... Time to use Veronica I guess... Veronica does not turn up any Gopher directories named Cakewalk, so I wrote a short note to the list owner asking if archives exist.

The >introductory blurb did not mention archives...does one of you know if they >have been keeping an archive of list messages? Well, I've been storing messages for quite a while now. (Partly because there is some good stuff, and partly because I've been too busy to prune it down...) ;-) So, I have almost 900 messages stored in "mh" format. If someone comes up with an FTP site, I'll at least divide the messages up into quarterly or monthly blocks and upload them... -Doug ------------------------------ End of the EMUSIC-L Digest ******************************
