Subject:      Ambient/Techno Listserv??

I am new to this listserv and thought someone here could direct me to
another listserv out there that discusses ambient electronic and purely
electronic dance music.  I am very interested in the Warp label and Earth
Beat label and the resurging Eno/Tangerine Dream/ambient music scene.  I
am sure that once I put together a Usenet feed I will meet folks into this
stuff, but until then... any listserv addresses?
Anyone know about the Aphex Twin's home-modified equipment?  Does he still
avoid MIDI?  Anyone built the PAIA vocoder kit? How's it sound??

Subject:      comp.music and related things

Bill asks what and where comp.music is.

comp.music, rec.music.makers.synth, and such things as these are Usenet
newsgroups. Usenet is large collection of machines which pass news (as
distinct from mail) around. Access to news is provided through newsreader
software (xrn, rn, trn,nn, and others on Unix systems). Access is also
available (painfully) through Gopher, if you don't have direct access.
Otherwise, there's no real way to get to these groups for the average user.

I access Usenet/Internet through a BBS, using RoseReader (an off-line
mail reader/comm program) on a DOS machine.  That's how this average
user gets to these groups (and lists).  Not elegant, but it works,
most of the time.

Is there an FAQ available which will tell me how to unsubscribe from this list?
 I appreciate the list, but can't handle the mail volume at this time.  Thanks

Is there a MAX list?  I could really benefit from eavesdropping on such
a list.  I'd even post my Roland GR-50 objects when I'm finsihed (if and
when).  I am on the Netjam list but no traffic in months.

I thought I'd try to e-mail some questions to Roland
on Compuserve. Does anyone have a Compuserve address
for a department or person who could answer some of
my questions about my RAP-10? They don't have an 800
number that I know of. If someone has e-mailed Roland
a question, how long did it take to get a reply?

Thanks

 Stopping mail delivery over Holidays
Help!  How do I get a message throught to stop getting mail from this
list during the Holidays.  I've tried sending "SET NOMAIL EMUSIC-D" to
LISTSERV@VM1.NoDak.edu.  I also tried using just EMUSIC, EMUSIC-L, and
EMUSIC Digest - to no avail.

Close. Try "SET EMUSIC-L NOMAIL". It will also be faster if you route the
message directly to AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU.

    hi Bill!

    You have mentioned in your mail the name SYNTH-L. Is this a
    mailing list or what?
    If yes, I would be very interested joining it.

    thanx Ricci!

Subject:      Re: MIDI Guitar

Andrew Younger, David Lunney, Benjamin Littenberg, and I have all sent
posts about the topic of MIDI guitars on EMUSIC-L.  Shame on us!
Vincent Pagel and Scott Wilson, on the other hand, posted directly to
me, thus depriving the public of thier comments.  I'll take the
initiative to move this thread over to SYNTH-L.  If anybody who isn't
already a member of SYNTH-L wants to see my upcoming post on the topic,
email me a request and I'll send you a copy.  In the mean time, JOIN
SYNTH-L!

P.S.  I'm now receiving SYNTH-L and EMUSIC-L in digest form so I'm on a
24 hour delay!

Subject:      Re: MIDI Guitar

Bill Fox chides us for posting questions about MIDI guitar to EMUSIC-L
rather than SYNTH-L, and urges us to join SYNTH-L. I *WAS* on SYNTH-L
for a while, but got tired of reading gearheads' descriptions of their
hardware. I am more interested in *methods* of music synthesis (FM,
Fourier, etc.) than in commercial hardware. There is a practical
professional reason for that: my major research interest is the use of
sound to enable blind scientists and engineers to analyze complex data.
The solutions I come up with must be affordable. That's why I am using
the lowly Soundblaster series rather than whole racks of expensive
professional equipment. (We were doing computer-controlled music
synthesis in our lab about twelve years ago, before the advent of of
MIDI.)

When I saw the thread about MIDI guitar I chimed in because I have been
looking for a MIDI guitar interface that would work on a classsical
guitar without surgery to my valuable instrument. If I strayed from the
proper purview of this list, forgive me. Meanwhile, I will send my
inquiry directly to Bill Fox.

Hi.

Yes, synth-l is a mailing list run by Joe McMahon, the same
