        Someone should counter if I am incorrect, but I think "FSK sync"
(relating to midi) covers a range of products that include simple "clocks"
(24 clocks per quarter note), to song position pointer info + clocks. I dont
know how _standard_ the FSK implementation is between manufacturers
products. The simple FSK requires a song be played from the beginning, more
intelligent FSK schemes allow chasing (via song position pointer).
        FSK is directly related to your sequenced song, tempo and position
are one-to-one (usually). A change in tempo, length of a section, etc.
requires restriping the tape.  Some software, like C-Lab Notator (not sure
about logic), is capable of varying tempo on playback when synced to FSK -
but this gets real confusing REAL fast. I dont think this feature is
widespread in FSK sync support modes.
        SMPTE, usually converted to Midi Time Code (before MTC was official
there were a few schemes floating around), is a fixed time base (tempo
independent!) which your software must relate to your song (eg. when
00hrs:02min:13sec:06frames...do this). This makes your sync process much
more flexible, since you are free to change the "when" without effecting
your sync code already on tape!. Note that the SMPTE time may start at any
time, and your sequence is started relative to a time (on tape) that you
choose. If the tape starts at 01:00:00:00, you are free to start your
sequence at 01:00:30:00. This will result in 30 seconds of silence before
your sequence starts. If you need the sequence to fit in 2min and 45sec,
most software packages will allow you to squeeze/stretch your song, with all
tempos relative, into that exact space, ending at 01:03:14:30 (30fps).
        The most simple SMPTE-MTC external sync boxes cost a bit over $100
US. You may be able to pick up a used one for significantly less (a JLCooper
PPS-1 for instance). Some of them have fixed SMPTE stripe start time and
format, but can read anything (ie you may be able to stripe, but you have to
start at 00:30:00:00, 30 fps-nd).

        For your software, double check the sync options. Sometimes the
choices are labeled as sync internal/external, and SMPTE (or sometimes MTC).
In some programs, setting sync to external, and NOT selecting SMPTE/MTC
results in the "FSK" mode, where Song Position Pointers and midi clocks rule.

Good Luck
Nate

Industrial Sex...  Hmm.   Would that be something like two skeletons on a

FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) are simply two different audio tones each
representing digital 'zeroes' and 'ones'. Developed for dynoputers for
binary data storage/exchange using audio tape, virtually extincted. No
carrier, no modulation here.

Hi, friends,

Re: dichotomy/hearing inner sounds 2

First, the discussion evoked has so far been wonderful; exactly the forum
forcast for this medium.

Second, we all have opinions about the nature and feeding of creativity, but
if it could be isolated, it would no doubt have been done some years ago and
we'd ALL be beancounters (and happy to have the gig, no doubt).

As it is, I'm happy to have my current gig guiding high school kids. They
have some access to computers, but almost no access to the Internet. As a
result, when I find mind-expanding discussions like these, I print, and cut
and paste (to get rid of excessive headers/footers), and then use them to
start discussions on development of personal creativity.

I, and others, have struggled with the issue of where creativity come from,
and how might one teach it well, for years. There is no clear answer yet, and
may never be, given the nature of the beast. That is why (among other issues)
public-funded institutions get into so much trouble.

Is anyone right (or wrong)? That depends entirely (essentially?)
on personal perspective. Personally, I've so far learned from every reponse.
Not that I agree totally with any position-but I am fascinated by each and
stimulated to better thought.

Keep the ideas coming! And thanks,


Chris

Is it any good?  Which is the best;Super Avilyn Formulation, Chrome or Metal?

Super Avilyn seems to be a good type to use for me.  I use this in my
mulitracker here at home in my studio.  The quality is satisfactory for the
results I want, but I guess after experimenting with different types you will
find which one does the best job for you.  Metal tapes are good but one thing
to keep in mind is that the metal tape is more abrasive and will wear out a
tape head quicker.  But the quality of metal tape seems to be a bit better.

A while back (quite a while back!) someone offered to write up a short

(Sorry but I have been preoccupied and not keeping up with the list...)

Public Notice and Introduction.

I'm Clint. I've just joined the list and would like to say Hi!

I'm a professional composer and graphic artist. And I just played a gig
last night with the John Morgan Big Band. Formerly the Don Hoy Big Band.
It was a Lo-o-on-n-g job to be playing on a sunday night. I play
keyboards, fretboards, and I'm a percussionist. Glad to be here.

I've started an On-Line class (free public service)  for teaching piano
and music lessons on the Internet. It's an on going project and makes
use of some of the web's current multimedia technology.

The name of the site is "Piano on the Net."
