Subject:      Drum Line only on Yamaha DD-14

 I would like to use the Yamaha DD-14 as a drum machine. In addition to
drums and variuos percussion sounds, it seems that the DD-14 has melody
instruments (vibes, marimba, etc.) that can not be turned off.

That is, any message on MIDI channel 1 is recognized (and played) by the
vibes, messages
on MIDI channel 7 are recognized by the tympani voice, etc.

According to the yamaha tech reps, the only way to get the DD-14 to play
only the drum track is to
send it channel 10 only.

I only have a single port MIDI interface (sound blaster PRO), and I still
want the other tracks to get to the keyboard.
I understand that a dual port interface would solve the problem, with one
port dedicated to the keyboard, the other to the drum machine, but I want to
find the most economical solution and I would rather not install another
board on my crowded bus if it can be helped.

Is there any device that I can put in-line to  filter out all MIDI channels
except 10?

Any suggestions would be appreciated !!!!

Hi all,
Does anyone know where I can get any on-line information on Yamaha's DX-27
keyboard?  Thanks!  =)

Turn your radio down, please! :-) (If you can post in lowercase, it's
easier to read. ALL CAPS is the e-mail equivalent of shouting.)

If no one has told you yet, you should probably be able to find the
presets/programs/combos on an anonymous FTP site. You might try
louie.udel.edu as a first guess; I'm not sure where else to try right now.

Subject:      sampler keyboard

Hi,
  Can anyone tell me if there is a good sampler keyboard that may
record sounds off a cd and playback them on a midi sequence? Maybe even
comparable to an Enya recording? How does she get those wonderful
vocals in her tracks? Or better yet, does anyone know what Enya uses for
her setup?

She sings and sings and sings, and overdubs and overdubs and overdubs.
When you get twenty or thirty layers deep of singing the same line over
and over again, it starts to sound like that. 10cc did the same
thing years ago for the choir in "I'm Not In Love."

BTW, to answer your question, any sampler can smaple from a CD; some
can even do it digitally.

Don't know what Enya uses, (I don't even know who Enya IS...) but Akai has a
Sampler with a CD built into it.

I don't know how the information is transferred.

If you have a Mac there's a program called Re-Cycle that will take a section
of previously recorded digital audio & chop it up into consecutive samples
with MIDI note numbers and automatically map it into Samplecell.

The result is, you an take something done in one tempo and play it back at
different BPMs.

Provided, of course, that the source material has noticable beats. For
material such as Enya, which is rather ambient, Recycle would probably be of
little use.

Subject:      Re: Netophelia

The proteus 1/xr is a really great unit for the money.  The piano samples are
some of the best I have heard, and the drum patches are better than most.
Some of the bass sounds need a bit of tweaking to sound listenable, but
I actually found a couple of really nice acoustic guitar samples (which
I find rare).

Bottom line, It is a good all around, versatile instrument plus it's midi
implementation is nice.

I have also heard some good things about the new korg, has anyone picked
picked one up?  The new emu morpheus?

I am a retired college choral director who knows very little about Electronic

voices and handbells.  I am using a Kawai K-1, Mac LCIII, and Finale.

Can anyone help me locate information about the Kawai K-1 in  general, and in
particular multi-timbral usage for same.

I would also like to find a good sound simulation for the human voice, as
well as for the English Handbell.

Thanks very much.  E mail to RalphP4006@aol.com

Hmm; never been much into imitation except as (i) flattery or (ii) a
learning experience.

Tons and tons and tons of multitracking and overlays.

The gaelic singers I come across here (Talitha MacKenzie for one, if I were
to name-drop) are a little disparaging about this "sea of reverb"
Clannad/Enya sound. I find it gets wearing after a while.

While i have heard the wavestation, seen the specs on the A/D and drooled over
the possibilites of using it to process vocals in strange ways, i have not had
the chance to do so.

Anyone have experience with processing analog signals throught the A/D and would
like to tell me abou it. Aside from it being a vocoder on stereoids, what can
you do?

One of these days, i'll pick a used one up. One of these days...

What's y'll,


Ok, this is short.  A friend was playing around in my studio last night-
now, I have everything backed up to I let hurt roam the control of my JV-30
*freely* (I was standing over her with a cane) in any event after she
finished, it have occured to me that is had been some time since I save the
patch on my MX-8 midi-patch bay.  I saved them and tried to reload them and
for some reason I can't get it to receive the data.  Without repeating what
is said in the manual and boring everyone, I'll just say that I followed
the instructions on page 11 to the best of my knowledge...


If any of you guy have the MX-8 and have done this before.  I would
appreciate a better explanation of how to receive sys-ex data on the MX-8.
I seem to remember doing this before AND testing it.  Since I didn't write
and more note down in the manual I guess what they wrote is supposed to be
clear enough to follow- I brain dead at this moment however...

It's perfectly fine for the charter of SYNTH-L, and not at all permissible
for EMUSIC-L. Keep all product announcements of this sort on SYNTH-L
and that would be fine.
