Cc: eps@reed.edu Richard, I think that the Transwave construction set would be a very good idea, and not too terribly difficult. I myself am working on an instrument editor for the 16+, and I've found that the hardest part is getting the correct sysex data for the machine, the Manual you can get from Ensoniq has numerous errors. As a side note, there is already a good collection of EPS MIDI routines (there actually for the IBM PC, but sources are included...) available at some of the ftp sites. I'm not sure where I got it from but it's called eps.tar.Z. Good luck, Jay From cco.caltech.edu!jaywb Mon Feb 10 10:23:29 1992 Return-Path: Received: by reed.edu (/\==/\ Smail3.1.25.1 #25.10) id ; Mon, 10 Feb 92 10:23 PST Received: by itchy.reed.edu (/\==/\ Smail3.1.25.1 #25.3) id ; Mon, 10 Feb 92 09:55 PST Received: by tybalt.caltech.edu (4.1/1.34.1) id AA02140; Mon, 10 Feb 92 09:56:04 PST Date: Mon, 10 Feb 92 09:56:04 PST From: jaywb@cco.caltech.edu (Jay William Bromley) Message-Id: <9202101756.AA02140@tybalt.caltech.edu> To: scott@wapsy.uwa.oz Subject: Transwaves... Cc: eps@reed.edu Hi, About what I sampled from my SQ-R the first things I sampled were the Transwaves that are included in the SQ-R's wave table. I did this by simply routing the SQ-R's stereo out to a 2 to 1 mixer and then sampling the notes I wanted by having my (computer) sequencer play back the notes. I also sampled all of the waveforms in hopes of splicing togethera bunch of these different waves and producing my own Transwaves. I was trying to obtain sounds like the "Reckoning" factory preset (ROM 005 I think), but even using the transwaves option with a one cycle loop and +99 modulation, the sounds I produced were no where near as interesting as what the SQ-R gave me. Guess I'll have to dig through the SQ-R's parameters to make sure I'm not missing anything. And, BTW, if you do sample an SQ-R you might want to remove all modulation and envelopes, etc., in order to sample the very wave itself. I had a special instrument with no effects/envelopes/modualtion which I used as my instrument template on the SQ-R, and then simply changed the wave type to get all the SQ-R samples I wanted. (Does that make sense?)

I'm wondering if anyone else out there besides Richard Hagen : > On a related note, would anyone be interested in a Transwave > construction kit? I own an Amiga and in a couple of months I'll have > finished my thesis, so I'll have a bit of free time on my hands... has an Amiga w/ EPS 16+... Funny, I have the same grad school dilemmas, and was planning to write some utility PD software when I got around to some free time, deja vu! Actually I've got several questions, first if anyone w/ Ami can recommend some good supplemental software. Thus far the library includes SuperJam! (brand new from Blue Ribbon Bakery, an -awesome- little program to help you come up with accompaniments in a variety of styles; have been mucking with it for weeks now); Bars and Pipes (not pro :-( ); Synthia Pro (reviewed in an old issue of TH); EZ FM Synthesizer (to be used with S. Pro)... I'm going to look into the eps PC source code and try to meddle with it a bit. My only real ambition was to provide a method of u/loading and d/loading samples that could be stored in a standard binary file (does any such standard exist for PC's Mac's or Atari's?), so that people could trade samples over the net. But I think that having an onscreen control panel for the EPS16 internal configs would be an excellent idea. My cursor buttons are starting to stick anyways.. Also, I was wondering if anyone could provide some info on if it would be possible to hack into the EPS16 and create your own OS? I remember hearing that someone had done this for the mirage, but was curious on where to even begin getting specs for the internals for such a project. I guess developing a front end on a computer would take care of a lot of those kinds of problems anyways. Also, I think everyone is interested in hearing reviews about sample sets... The only one I have is the Microwave Chicken set from RCS; (Scott I'll post a review in a couple of days)...

Hi again, Love that EPS-16+ external MIDI specification manual, don't you? Anyway, as you might have guessed, I'm having some trouble getting the sysex stuff to work as I think it should (or at all for that matter). So here goes, I've got my 16+ being sequenced on my 486 using Cakewalk 4.0E and an MPU-401 compatible. I'd like to have it so each song would load it's own bank from disk. Right now I'm still using floppies but will soon get a hard drive. What I've been trying to is use virtual button presses to load a bank off of disk, using Cakewalk's Sysex feature. Here's what I've done: say I want to load the second file off of a disk, I'll then use virtual presses to go to load mode, and then the up arrow to get to the file and finally Enter/Yes. From the specs, I think this should be the necessary code: f0 0f 03 01 40 00 20 40 00 32 40 00 37 f7, where the first three bytes are the sysex header then the base channel, the three button presses, and the tail. However, this sequence evokes no response whatsoever from my 16+. I've double and triple checked that everything has been enabled correctly, so now I'm at a loss. Any ideas/insights out there about this little problem?

After some hours of experimentation, i can say i'm overexcited about it. If you'll read the following few comments i excerpted and edited from the booklet, you'll understand why..... The disk contain 15 effect algorithms which can be loaded into the EPS16+. Each algorithm contain four independent (parallel) sub-effects, (A B C D) each with its own input. You get: A B C D REV REV REV REV CHO CHO CHO CHO DIS DIS DIS DIS CHO REV REV REV CHO CHO REV REV CHO CHO CHO REV DIS REV REV REV DIS DIS REV REV DIS DIS DIS REV CHO DIS DIS DIS CHO CHO DIS DIS CHO CHO CHO DIS DIS CHO REV REV DIS REV CHO CHO CHO REV DIS DIS where REV is reverb CHO is a Chorus/Flanger/Delay effect DIS is Distortion/Filter/Delay HOW THE INPUTS WORK One effect algorithm contain four sub-effects (A B C D). They are accessible by means of PAN and BUS_SELECT. BUS PAN GOES_TO_SUBEFFECT FX1 -99 A FX1 +99 B FX2 -99 C FX2 +99 D Each subeffect has a pan setting for the outputs, so while the effects input is mono, the effect's output is stereo. This also means that you can forget dynamic panning of your voices.... -------------------- REV: reverb (room size) IN ------PRE/DELAY------HF/DAMPING---REVERB/NETWORK------PAN->Stereo out | ^ | | | v | ------DECAY--- | ------->(dry signal)------------------PAN--------------->Stereo out ------------------- CHO: Chorus/Flanger/Delay This subeffect can sound like a stereo chorus, flanger, a stereo delay or combinations of those effects. The basic element is the same: a modulatable delay line. This effect includes one LFo and 2 modulatable delay lines. ----<--- (feedback)----- | | | (Lfo depth 1) | V ----DELAY/LINE/1-----TAP1-----PAN-----> Stereo out IN ---------| | ----DELAY/LINE/2-----TAP2-----PAN-----> Stereo out | (Lfo depth 2) | ---------------------------------(Dry)--PAN-> Stereo Out --------------------- DIS: Distortion/Filter/Delay This effect is designed to produce a big fat guitar (and you can hear it!). ---(Dist)--PAN--> Stereo out | IN----LOW/PASS----DISTORTION----CABINET/SIM--| | -------DELAY--PAN--> Stereo out ^ | |-<-(Feedb.)- In all: there are LOTS of parameters. My sonic judice: if ensoniq would include it in ROM, it would sell 10 times the EPS16+ it sells. It really make shine this hardware. It turns a good sampler into a DREAM machine. I'm thinking to buy another EPS16+ just because of the things you can do now with EPS16+ and Waveboy. About the sound quality: the DIS is much better than SPECIALIZED GUITAR PROCESSOR (and i own quite a lot..!). The CHO is not a chorus or a flanger. It is an effect that make sound stand out (again, here experimentation can lead very far). The REV is nice, but not particularly nice to my (severe?) ears: the reverbered sound is a little bit metallic on certain settings. It's interesting to note that modulating the voices PAN, you actually mix from an effect to the other adiacent (e.g. from A to B, or from C to D), and this leads to some mind-bowling sounds. In a few word: it's a must. (I'm not affiliated, etc etc with waveboy industries.....). Andrea Gozzi. P.S. If someone with Waveboy Effects is something less excited about it, i'd like to know....

Sounds like the either the disk you are copying or your OS is corrupted. First thing to do is get a fresh copy of your Operating System (1.1) and have another go at copying things. *Note* To all EPS users, if you don't already always have a "good/new" copy of your OS backed up on disk somewhere. If it is the fact that the disks have become corrupted then you will have to get fresh/new copies. I remember I once corrupted about 3 out of 10 disks when I dropped a box on the floor. I never worked out if it was the physical shock or the power cable they splattered all over that corrupted them. Anyhow, Ensoniq can be quite reasonable about such things..if they are "originals". You could send them in with a letter asking for replacements (ask meekly and nicely promising to make backups in future). The other alternative is to go to your local dealer/friend, present the "originals" as proof of purchase and copy them. None of us copy "coprright" disks that we have not purchased right? :-) > 2.

Not into your EPS there is not. The best way to copy sounds is by sampling ther individual components of the VFX sound then re-constructing it in the EPS architecture. However, Rubber Chicken Software has 15-20 disks of VFX samples you may like to ckeck them out.

Sooooo....does anyone know amything about them? Has anyone got any of their samples? I know how difficult it is to make "good" samples, I am wondering if these sounds are not looped or something? 30 disks for $45 appears too good to be true...so what gives, perhaps someone in the area could call them up and find out. If these are anywhere near "decent" sounds you are looking at the bargan of a lifetime. >"Percussion and Bass" Vol 1-10 >"synth & Keys" Vol 1-10 >Each volume contains 30 disks.

I friend of mine showed me a neat trick where if you have a VFX-SD disk that you want to copy, you can do that with the disk copy utility on the EPS (thanks Dave). If you have 4x memory, then that means you can copy a whole VFX-SD disk in one pass. This is a lot better than trying to do it with the limited memory included with the VFX. Just thought I'd pass that on. =============================================================================== /\ | / / \ | /\ Kelly Larson /\ / \ /\ | / / \ | /\/ kdl@hpeskdl.fc.hp.com / \/ \ \/\| | /-\ /-\ | |\/ \ Engineering Systems Lab / / \ / | | / / /__/ | |/ \/ Hewlett Packard Company / / / | \ / / | \ / COLORADO! / | \ / / | ===============================================================================
