I seem to remember someone mentioning in their wish list for the next 16+ OS a while back a debugged Resample with Effect command. Does any1 know the nature of this problem and the conditions that cause it? It seems like it works about half the time I use it, and I haven't been able to isolate any common conditions for the times the command fails. Rebooting doesn't seem to help. I've successfully used the Hall Reverb and Cmp-Dist-Rev effects, but at times I've also had problems with these effects. In the meantime, playing the sample with effect to tape and then resampling the tape seems to work fine, other than adding a SLIGHT amount of tape hiss. Also, Scott mentioned OS version 1.3 would be coming out soon. What happened to 1.2? Did I miss something? I thought the most recent version was 1.1. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm posting this in an attempt to stop confusion before it starts, OS 1.2 has not been released yet and it was the latest OS to be rumored by Ensoniq. I posted the contents of a letter from WAVeBOY software (Run by Bill Mauchly, Ensoniq employee) that talks about OS 1.3. I have no idea if 1.2 will be skipped, bill made a type-o and meant 1.2 or he is talking about an OS to come after 1.2. Speaking of operating systems, I was in Melbourne at the "Electric Factory" last week. The EF is basically Ensoniq HQ here in Australia. I had a long an interesting conversation with the head dude and was sitting in the same room with OS Beta-test version 1.2, apparently the "load-while-play" feature is working fine (to the best of my knowledge :-) I'll tell you more later.

I expect to release it in a few weeks. For those of you who have been using v1.0 in the past, be warned that v2.0 is an almost complete rewrite. Features include: - Support for multiple EPSs. - As system-independent as I could possibly make it. - Saner return values (esp. for wavesample offsets). - Almost complete support of EPS (Classic) SysEx functions (see below). Deficiencies: - No SCSI support. - No EPS 16+ support. I've got all of the major functions up, running, and hopefully bug- free. This includes wavesample data transfer, parameter setting, and buttons. Currently, I have yet to implement Mix Wavesamples, Splice Wavesamples, two other similar functions whose names escape me at the moment, and all of the loops. This brings me to the request part of this message: I tried to implement the Cross-Fade Loop command and got stuck: the command goes out all right, with all the appropriate parameters, but then the EPS asks (on its display) "Use default values?" and seems to expect some sort of reply. If I hit 'Yes', then it appears to make a cross-fade loop on the sample, after a 2-second (or so) delay. This isn't how I'd like to do it: since I've specified the parameters in the command, I'd like to do this entirely via MIDI. In summary, the exchange looks something like this (where "EPS" is the EPS, and "EXT" is the external unit, in this case an Amiga): EXT EPS Command: cross-fade loop, instrument 0, layer 0, wavesample 1, fade zone = 1024 samples, depth = 3.0 dB Displays "Use default values?" on display. <> Performs cross-fade loop. Send ACK. My question is basically, what is <>? So far, the only thing I've found that works is to physically press the 'Yes' button on the EPS's front panel. I've tried sending an ACK, and sending a virtual 'Yes' button press (with and without handshaking), and every time, I get a NAK back from the EPS. Does anyone have any idea what I should be doing? I'd really like to get the loops working. Also, does anyone want to volunteer to do any porting? I'm currently writing the Amiga version, I can probably do the IBM PC port, and I've found someone who can help me do the NeXT port.

I wouldn't exactly call them complaints, just concerns. :) :) :) As far as I am concerned the ftp traffic is fine as long as people don't access the site from 9am-5pm PST. This hasn't been a real problem yet. If it did, then I could turn ftp access to altosax off during those times. The disk on altosax isn't much of a concerned. It isn't being used for anything else right now. In fact, I'm going to be clearing out another 20-30 megs of MY stuff off altosax. :) :) :) So disk space isn't really a problem either. >i've been really pleased with the exchange that the ftp site has >generated, and appreciate everyone's input. i'll gladly continue until >things are safely moved to a new site. Administration averages about >an hour a week, but can get much busier at times. That's where the real problem is. The time to keep things organized. I don't really know what need to be done in there. If people download things and leave a note about what should be done with them, or if they send something to the group, then I can continue to provide some support for the ftp site (as long as I'm here). - Heiji (horde@reed.edu) "One of several sysadmins at Reed College."

Jan 16 1992 Date: Wed, 20 Nov 1985 06:06:30 MET Hi Joe, Well I did not seem to get your first letter to the eps-board. The mail system on DIALix here has been crunching some mail, and I lost quite a bit. I couldnt even write to Scott and he is "next door"! Anyhow, I think I can speak on behalf of everyone here on the eps mailing list and thankyou for the time and considerable effort you have put into not only maintaining our storage on altosax, but for setting it up in the first place! We now have a start, and a very good one, for people all around the world to trade and swap samples for this excellent keyboard. Hopefully you wont disappear altogether and we will see your name popping up on the list from time to time. I guess that for anyone to take your place, they would need to be at Reed College. If this is true, it limits our choice a little. Do we have any volunteers. Id love to but Australia is a wee bit to far away, and I have to ftpmail, I dont have direct ftp access. Anyhow thanks again for you time and effort Joe.

If this is true, it limits our choice a little. that's not necessarily true; we could always move the files to another machine on the net. It was nice of Heiji Horde, sysadmin, to keep the offer of space on altosax open; but i kind of feel like it's imposing on the goodwill of the wonderful folks there when i'm just an alumnus and ex-employee. moving the mailing list is even easier than moving the ftp site; now that the ftp thing is up & running, the mailing list probably takes more time. We could even keep eps@reed.edu as an alias to the list. It's not even necessary that the mailing list & ftp site be located at the same place. > Do we have any volunteers.
