Comments: To: SYNTH-L@AMERICAN.EDU Comments: cc: electronica+@andrew.cmu.edu, analogue@hyperreal.com Hi to all ! Sorry for the not analogue content but I really need the usermanual for the DIGITECH DSP 128+ digital effect processor. I bought mine at Wurlitzer but they had no manual for it. Everone who knows this box knows that without a manual programming is very difficult (only 3 letters on a 7 segment display tell you all about parameters...). If anyone could send me a copy to AUSTRIA/EUROPE - I would be glad. Of course IŽll pay for copy and postage ! In hope to find help...

When I bought my used 128 used, I got the city for Digitech off the machine, called information and got a phone number, and much to my surprise, the nice lady at Digitech hand copied the manual for me and mailed it to me at no charge. You might give it a try. ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 30 Jun 1996 20:30:24 +0100 Reply-To: Electronic Music Discussion List Sender: Electronic Music Discussion List From: Nick Rothwell Subject: Our last, best hope for funding [Re: Look, Ma, No Keyboard!] >Arts councils can piss one off to no end.

A video >short on the gear, the process, music and a brief interaction with dance >would probably do it for me. True, but that's tricky for a number of reasons. Firstly, for a lot of dance, it does not come across on video. I have a video here of some of Rosemary Butcher's work, shot in Guildford Cathedral. I'm a great fan of her work, and have seen some of these pieces in the flesh, but this kind of stuff does not come across on a TV screen. (She admits this.) You just have to be there. Secondly, doing video properly, so that delicate work *can* come across, is expensive; we're talking multiple cameras, synchronisation, editing/post-production and so on. I priced some of this stuff earlier in the year, and it was slightly frightening. Thirdly, and most intangibly: it is actually very difficult to find dancers who are interested in collaborating in this sort of thing. This is for a variety of reasons, some personal, some political; amongst the political reasons is that many practitioners are constrained by the funding bodies to aim in a particular direction and build a particular kind of track record, and are not encouraged to innovate; amongst the personal reasons is a deep entrenchment and defensive attitude about projects not under their own particular banners. Another personal reason: as a strong committer/timer (it says here) I tend to look quite far into the future and time things intuitively; it's sometimes hard to get other people to see similar priorities. Summary: it's almost impossible to come up with a team to perform, let alone make video work. Even if a video were done, it would not look good. To make it look good would take money. There's no money because the Arts Council isn't giving me any, certainly not for alleged "promotional" purposes.

I would love one, and hate to think that they might all vanish and become unobtainable. (Of course, if I were to buy one, Yamaha would come out with a cheaper and better version. If I don't, they won't.) Nick Rothwell, CASSIEL contemporary dance projects http://www.cassiel.com music synthesis and control years, passing by, VCO, VCF, and again, and again
