        Check out the February issue of "Keyboard Magazine."  They have a
full page ad on page 83.  The thing that caught my fancy was their
"competitive upgrade" concept.  Regular price is $159.95 US, but if you own
*any* other company's sequencing software, in a registered copy, you can get
this new software for $89.95.  All you have to do is fax them either
1. A photocopy of the program disk(s) you own, or
2. A photocopy of a page from the sequencer's manual.
        (The ad says to "contact us for details," and this is
                what their representative told me.  This offer is
                good until March 1, she said.)

        The only other things I know are that she said it will work with
any Windows compatible soundcards, including SoundBlaster 16, although they
reccomend a "full duplex" soundcard.  With the SB16 (half duplex) you can
record while playing back MIDI, but not while playing back digital audio.
With full duplex, you can play and record digital sound at the same time.
You may have up to 1000 tracks, each assignable to either MIDI or digital
audio, and you recording time is limited only by your hard drive space.
Everything else I know is in the Keyboard Mag Ad.
                Hope this helps, and I hope i didn't sound like a commercial.
                I have never seen or used this product.  If anyone else knows
                more, I'd love to hear.  Thanks.

My apologies to those who may get more than one copy of this message....

I'm going to be arriving at San Francisco Airport just before midnight
on Thursday, February 22nd, and staying in the Bay Area until the evening
of Sunday, February 25th. In that time period, I am tentatively committed to
a couple of onsite visits and job interviews on Friday, but the rest of
my weekend (taken to get a Saturday-stayover fare) will be wide open.

I would like very much to meet, chat with, and maybe play a few tunes
with/for anyone in the area who'd like to get together. Failing that,
I'll be holding down a table at Spats on Shattuck Avenue on Saturday
night drinking Borneo Fogcutters and waiting to see if anyone I know
shows up. That is, assuming someone hasn't monopolized my Saturday
night before that. And Spats is still in business.

I will be mobile, but don't know my way around very well. If you're
interested in hooking up, please email me your phone number and
scheduling limitations, and I'll start drawing up an itinerary.

Thanks, and I hope to see you there.

Mike

ps. I will also be in LA for a VERY limited time, and my schedule there
is much tighter. If you live near LAX and want to keep me company
between planes, let me know....

I felt that way for years.  I wouldn't even look at cakewalk or Cubase.
Cakewalk 3 has finally sold me.  The flexibility of the software is
unbelievable.  I do wish you could do more from the computer keyboard but I
assume I will eventually get over that.  The only time I really miss voyetra
is for on the fly soloing and muting and when editing individual notes in
the EDIT mode.  Drawing controllers, groove quantize and CAL (Cakewalk
Application Language) have made me forget about some of that other stuff
though.

Comments: To: SYNTH-L@AMERICAN.EDU

This is a follow-up to something I said on SYNTH-L but probably impacts on
EMUSIC-L subject-wise so I'm being a little spammy. Thanks to the folks who
emailed follow-ups and enquiries; here's an answer.

I remember some recent thread about cubbyholing (which we in the UK would
refer to as pigeonholing, since pigeons are smaller than cubbies). This is,
of course, as true in the Arts as in popular media. Sometimes people and
companies manage to break through and establish new media (or blur the old
ones), but it's hard work and takes a long time. (Terry Pratchett always
claims that it took him twenty years to become an overnight success.)

In the subsidised arts, there is no objective measure of merit, and hence
arbitrary subjective measures are given disproportionate weight. One such
measure is applicability to particular beaurocratic processes (project
funding, tour programmes, development, teaching, etc.). Another measure is
political acceptability, which is directly proportional to a discipline's
herd instinct and inversely proportional to the degree of threat.

The problem is that a lot of what I'm visualising in my head is a threat to
two disciplines: contemporary dance and contemporary music. It threatens
the dance scene because I am not a dancer or choreographer, and yet I have
clear ideas of the way styles and schools of dance work, of how to judge
and rate dancers, and of how to develop work which integrates dance and
live sound in new and interesting ways. (I also have an ego; but it comes
with the territory.)

So what about the contemporary music scene? I'm sure there are folks on
EMUSIC-L who know a lot more about that than I do. My problem *here* is
that I didn't study Advanced Plink-Boing with Pierre Boulez for three
years, and don't have the credentials. I'm not going to claim that I can do
a lot better than these people; I'm only hoping that I can give them a run
for their money. (Literally.) But I don't know whether I fit into this
scene any better than the dance scene. I guess one problem is that I'm not
concerned with making music as the final product when it comes to
performance work; I'm concerned with making dance performance. And yet the
most successful composers for dance (Volans, Fitkin, Fisher-Turner,
Fulkerson, ...) basically record scores, and are most concerned with making
music; dance projects are basically commissions. This is, of course,
non-threatening to the dance community.

So, what to do? The plans are the same, the projects are going to be the
same, but the political maneouvering is going to have to be a lot more
subtle. This year's plan is to do the album, next year's plan is
collaboration (as musician, not as performance company) with one of the big
names in the London dance scene, as a serious profile-raising initiative.
But, much as the arts funding bodies are keen on cross-media projects, they
only seem to work when people stick to their own respective pigeonholes and
don't cross over too much. It's a shame.

David Rosenboom has done extensive work with brainwave/bio-feedback
beginning back in the early 70's.  He is also very much involved with
HMSL/forth programming.  I suggest you look at his music and/or
contact him directly for more info.  He is currently the head of the
music department at CalArts.

Good luck.

Waverider is a PC-or-Mac-based system that accepts biological inputs
(brain, heart, muscle, and galvanic skin response) to control MIDI events.
The Mac version works via Opcode MAX objects. They can send you a floppy
with their demo on it.  My recommendation is to check out the PC/Windows
demo -- gives a much better picture of how the system works.  You can try
them at:

I'm replying to Nick R's insightful words on his dilemma on EMUSIC-L, since
I feel certain he doesn't want to sell any of his gear, in spite of the UK

Yes, it's like the Scholastic Average Test (SAT) for college admissions in
the States: you gotta be "smart" in the same way that the testers are, or
you won't pass the test.

Tell me: am I understanding you correctly?  In order to get funding you
have to show that: you've won moneys before; you've performed your show
throughout the UK; your programme has expanded since its inception; and
you've been instrumental in the expansion of the minds of fellow Scots via
the classroom or some other venue?

Aha!  So to get public   you have to appeal to the public??  For the most
part it's the same here, thanks to a certain Senator from North
Carolina...The Most Honorable Jesse Helms  :^(  His biggest goal in life
seems to be gay-bashing, repression of publicly funded artistic expression,
and cow-towing to the tobacco industry (N.Carolina grows a lot of the
stuff).  Ironic...$$ spent annually on dealing with the effects of tobacco
smoking must be over a thousand times that spent on supporting the arts
(this is only a guess)!

However, there are grants which specifically fund collaborations which
won't be funded anywhere else.  I was part of one which was funded for
$6000 to explore "Feminine Fertility and Flux" with five other artists (no
dancers, though).  It's funded by the Andy Warhol Foundation, the Carnegie
Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts.  The project was
really was pretty cool, if controversial.  There aren't any grants along
those lines in the UK?

That's a pisser!  I think the only way innovative art-- that is, art which
breaks out of those infamous cubbyholes-- is engendered, is by just such
threats!  An artistic threat is one in which the audience is forced to
think in new ways.  I've got a Fred Babb T-shirt which says "Art Can't Hurt
You"  and another one which states, "Good Art Doesn't Match Your Sofa!"

I think the people who hold the purse-strings for public funding are many
times afraid that art which doesn't match their sofa will hurt them!

>(I also have an ego; but it comes with the territory.)

Hmm.  Haven't noticed.    =:-0

>So what about the contemporary music scene?

Uh, you mean gabber?  :-)

Doesn't shear experience count for something in the UK???  You've certainly
got that, from what I can tell from your posts and your HTTP site.  Anyway,
I don't think Mr. Boulez ever received much public funding for his "bleeps"
when he first started.  Besides, since when is *he* the yardstick for
synthesis?  Maybe 20 years ago, but...

Good for you!  I think that's the right spirit:  a true synthesis of the
art forms.  Neither one pulling the other.  Neither form can be really
appreciated without the other in your vision...it would feel as if
something were missing, right?

>dance projects are basically commissions. This is, of course,
>non-threatening to the dance community.

Why does that fail to threaten the dance community?  It would seem that
they (the dance company) would feel like an also-ran instead of an integral
part of the performance!

Do the record and collaboration with an uplifted spirit, Nick.  Be even more
patient than you have been, and remember, "If you play, they will come."
Yes, you have to be more well-known to start calling the shots on making
your artistic dreams a reality...as long as you are dependent upon public  .
Look at it this way, man: at least you are able to make a living (I assume)
playing music!

satya,

try this url address:

http://www.cs.ruu.nl/~jules/Akai/Tmp/Old/

 they have some good basic info about the akai s-series samplers as well as
some links to other sites of interest.  seems i recall they have the email
address and phone number for International Music Corp. which handles akai
items in the states.  I have an old s-1000 that i am trying to find simms
boards to expand its memory.  I understand imc doesn't handle the parts
anymore its mostly 3rd party dealers but I was able to get a manual for the
s-1000 from them for about $25.00 .

anyway hope this helps.

Hi,
   The only brainwave midi controller I've tried was so random, there
seemed no way to ever repeat anything, you sure couldn't get a melody
or even a rhythm riff out of it. Definitely only for experiemnting.
   MidiVox does have a binary out, in case you have a jack in your
brain.

You morons ! :)
 All of them are band names. Ok, mostly rotten dirty death metal bands, but
bands anyway...

Hi, dear listers,

My name is Jesus (yes, I know it is a very, bizarre, name in anglosaxon
countries :-). I teach music technology at University in La Rioja (Spain).
My query is for those listers who are interested in Artificial Intelligence
applied in music and they agree to share with me any bibliographic
references for my research in that field.
Thanks in advance.

Subject:      Unisyn (1.2) and 8Port/SE (1.3a)
Comments: To: techsupport@motu.com

Help!

I'm trying to get Windows Unisyn and an 8Port/SE working together, and
there is a huge snag.

I set the windows drivers for each profile to the appropriate ones for
the devices attatched to the 8Port.  But then Unisyn comes up with the
error message "Can't lock memory in the driver header".  Unisyn
crashes quite ungracefully -- all I can do is continue to hit the
cancel button (which has no effect) or reboot the machine.

I'm running Unisyn version 1.2.  With it I'm using the JV-880,
UltraProteus, QuadraVerb GT, HR-16, SR-16, and D-4 profiles.

The 8Port/SE has version 3 roms, 8portse.exe is version 1.0, and the
8Port/SE driver is version 1.3a (the latest, I'm assured, by opcode
tech support).

The computer is a 386DX/40 with 4 megabytes of memory.  Windows 3.1 is
running with around 16-32Mb of virtual memory (or what passes for
virtual memory in Microsoft land.)  The paralell port controller has
been working fine for some time now.

Cakewalk (professional, 3.0) works (so far) with the driver, so I
don't think it's a hardware or cabeling problem.

Since I have an old sound SB16 card, and Unisyn worked fine through
the MIDI cables on the back of that, I've tried to work it so that the
8Port operates only as a patch bay, using the the SB16 drivers.  I
haven't tinkered with it enough to get it to work, but I don't think I
should have to tinker, given what I paid for the 8Port.

Please reply via email, or call me at (201) 267-3840.  I'll call you
back if you must be spared the expense of the call.

Thank you.

Sure, but you don't live here, so that's cool!

> I teach music technology at University in La Rioja (Spain).

What's the scene like over there?  We've had correspondents from Spain before
(and some of them might still be here -- hello to you all), but, as I remember,
they've mostly been concerned with more popular culture (or on synth-l, bits
of gear).  Are there any cool electronic music composers from there -- besides
yourself of course!-- whom we should be looking out for?

> My query is for those listers who are interested in Artificial Intelligence

Sure.  For a start, there's a collection of COmputer Music Journal articles
called Music and Connectionism...

    Todd, Peter M. and D. Gareth Loy (1991)  Music and Connectionism.
    Cambridge MA: MIT Press.

and...

    Proceedings of the International Computer Music Conference.  San Francisco:
    International Computer Music Association.

Any year of the ICMC proceedings has AI stuff in it.  You shuld be able to
get a hold of these, at least by inter-library loan.  And if you're teaching
thie stuff, I'd recommend that your library gets copies.

Of course, there's the Computer Music Journal itself.  Four issues a year.
I think it was a couple of issues of vol 19 (1992 or thereabouts) which
were all about neural nets.

Hope this helps,
David
