I use Galaxy without editors. I consider it to be the best-arranged,
cleanest, least-aggravating librarian program for the Mac right now.
I got my copy for free when I bought Vision, and love it to death.
I may upgrade to the "Plus editors" package, but I try to avoid such
things by buying synths with easily usable front panels. |->

Agreed, and I would add that the "Plus Editors" does the same good
things for editing.  My home studio became a nice place to work when I got a
MIDI Time Piece and installed Galaxy Plus Editors.  Unfortunately there are
some nice synths (good sound possiblities) out there which don't have nice
front panels :-).

Al,
I the Opcode librarians and love them. I am rarely involved w/ any high
end studio stuff but I have made a few commercial jingles in which I
used them. However; as anyone who has this knows,it's like having any of
the things in life that we take for granted, Once you have had it, you can't liv
e without it. If you use Vision, it is possible to copy the patch names right
into the sequencer, no hunting for numbers of cut/pasteing names,very conveinent
Here is a number for Computers and Music, they have the lowest price that I have
 found 800-767-6161.
Hope this helps

Subject:      Looking for patches for D-5/10/20/110 Roland synths

A few weeks ago I bougth a Roland D-110 expander. Yes. I know it is a quite
old gear but, on the scale of my (very low) playing ability, I am enjoing
a lot the features of this module (it was relatively cheap for me, too...).

I am quit satisfacted of the sound of the D-110, except for what concernes
the piano section. I have found somwhere on the net a definition of this
sound as "thin and crystalline", but I believe it is really innatural for
this kind of section. Could someone send me some hint/trick for making the
D-110 playing better the Piano ? By the way, I own a very cheap keyboard,
and its piano sound is MUCH better than the D-110 one.... I believe that the
LA method should be a little bit more efficient. I am waiting for your help.

More in general, I am surprised about the small number of PD patches which
are available on the net for the D-10/D-110/MT32/etc. I have already visited
the two classic ftp sites (ucsd.edu and louie.udel.edu), but I am sure that
some of the users of this synths have produced a lot of new sounds. Would
someone kindly send me some of these? In the future, when I will became more
expert, I will probably send them back some other sounds :)... Thanks a lot
in advance. Sincerely yours
                                       V.Palleschi

Does it have a piano attack sample? My CM-32L doesn't, whereas a D-10 does.
I believe the D-5/D-10/D-20 had two banks of samples, whereas the MT-32 and
the CM-32L have only one, and organized differently. The D-110 could be on
the MT-32 side.

Hi

I am developing some children's games for the PC.  I have an ATI
Stero/FX sound card (Sound Blaster compatible).  I am incorporating
background music and am looking for a source of midi files.  Can
anyone recommend a source of midi files?  Thanks.

Is anyone familiar with Thoughtprocessor's "The Note Processor"?
I've been looking at several notation software packages and
recently came across this one I hadn't heard of before.

Thanks,

Does anyone out there know of a patch editor for an SGX-2000 that
runs on an IBM PC?  If so, what sound cards is it compatible with?
