I'd done this before- loooong ago- but since then I've got much more familiar with the whole deal, and this is what I've found. 1) Forward looping seems to be compatible between the two machines. 2) Bidirectional looping is VERY different. Sounds using bi mode looping are NOT compatible between the two machines. Here's why: on the classic, the Start and End loop positions are modulated at the same time. So, you can imagine the loop position zig zagging through the sample. It also intuitively gives me a feel for where that "Chorus" effect comes from. Don't ask me to explain it though!. Anyway, on the 16+, the End position seems to change first, then the start position, which means that the loop length does not remain constant. This means that the loop pitch is constantly fluctuating, and the "chorus" effect disappears. Let's see if I can do a diagram. Classic 16+ |*************>| forward |*************>| |<*************| back |<****************| |*************>| forward etc. |************>| Now this isn't really accurate but it gives you a feel for what's happening. So, as far as I'm concerned, those with the 16+ LOSE with this mode. Hey, you might have 16 bits and built in effects and more memory, but you can't modulate those loops like I can! 3) However, you can get some nice effects from moving just Start or End positions. Here's the trick: set ENV1 to mod just start or end positions. Not too much! A few bytes will do. (We're in Bi mode here). Now, you'll notice the pitch shifting up or down. No problem: you can compensate for this nearly exactly by setting the ENV1 pitch amount in edit:pitch to the right amount. Bye for now. Part two coming soon!

I think it works on 0-10 volts, so theoretically if you found an old analog synth with a VCO out then your could use it to modulate. What I'm hoping to do is to use more complicated external modulators to control the pitch for things like arpeggiate etc.... Also does anyone know of any old synths or modules that would be good for doing this?

I believe if you crack open one of the volume pedals all that you'll find inside is a simple potentiometer (variable resistor), probably around 10 kohm. The EPS will then supply it's own voltage source across the resistor, ie: EPS Supplied Reference Voltage + | | \ / \ Variable ------>/ Voltage \ Output / | | | - Ground To control this resistance via a control voltage might not be too bad. I know they have a little gadget that consists of a light emitting diode packaged with a photoresistor. The more current that pumps through the diode, the smaller the resistance through the photoresistor. You can get these for around 3 bucks I believe. =============================================================================== /\ | / / \ | /\ Kelly Larson /\ / \ /\ | / / \ | /\/ kdl@hpeskdl.fc.hp.com / \/ \ \/\| | /-\ /-\ | |\/ \ Engineering Systems Lab / / \ / | | / / /__/ | |/ \/ Hewlett Packard Company / / / | \ / / | \ / COLORADO! / | \ / / | =============================================================================== From sand.sics.bu.OZ.AU!s057 Wed Jun 10 23:23:15 1992 Return-Path: Received: from 128.250.1.21 by reed.edu (/\==/\ Smail3.1.25.1 #25.21) id ; Wed, 10 Jun 92 23:21 PDT Received: from sand.sics.bu.oz (via bunyip) by munnari.oz.au with SunIII (5.64+1.3.1+0.50) id AA15514; Thu, 11 Jun 1992 16:21:16 +1000 (from s057@sand.sics.bu.OZ.AU) Received: from sand by surf.sics.bu.oz.au (5.65b/Ultrix-32-V3.0) with SMTP id AA19335; Thu, 11 Jun 92 16:22:36 +1000 Return-Path: Received: by sand.sics.bu.oz.au (5.57/Ultrix-32-V3.0) id AA03755; Thu, 11 Jun 92 16:23:17 EST From: Stephen Gregory Message-Id: <9206110623.AA03755@sand.sics.bu.oz.au> Subject: Disco Disk 2 To: eps@reed.edu Date: Thu, 11 Jun 92 16:23:16 EST X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL11] Sorry to everybody out there if this has come up before, but I've had real problems with trying to get part two of the disco disks at altosax.

SampleVision Let's see: o Support for most of the popular samplers in use today. o Transfers via MIDI to/from sampler, so you can transfer samples between samplers without much trouble. o Lets you edit the sample in MANY ways: crossfading, scaling, audio or linear fade in/out, pitch shift, time expansion/ compression (same pitch takes up more or less time), normalization (make sure the entire dynamic range of the sample is used), lets you merge/mix samples together, and lots of other stuff. o Includes a "pen" mode that lets you edit the sound wave with a mouse-controlled pen (or draw your own). o Conversion programs to take straight number files and convert to SV format samples (so you can make a program to create the perfect sine wave mathematically, and dump it to a file, which you can then convert to a sample). o Loop editor. Let's you match end points and move loops to get the best fit. o Small step sequencer. (boring). o Lots of other neat toys. It really is a good program if you don't want to be hitting buttons on your sampler all day (the Mirage is notorius for that, as well as the E-MAX ][). -Eric Eric C.
