I've got a DSM Digital sampling CD with the following stuff on it: It's one disk, 23 tracks, 175 Guitar samples ranging from Acoustic to "Weird Maniac Metallic Burst Guitar" =), 118 Drum samples, 240 Misc. percussive sounds ranging from "crash" to "slow motion helecopter while on drugs" (although they didn't say what KIND of drugs =), 58 bass formal sounds, 152 "synth" sounds, 289 more misc. stuff that defies categorization (i.e. "death wookie in tunnel"). Note that some of these are multisamples of the same sound at different pitches (mainly the guitars and synth stuff). Since I've pretty much sampled this thing to death, I hate to see it just sit there, I thought someone would be interested in trading their's with me if they're in the same situation...I'd prefer a "dance" CD, if available.

Hmm. Is this so? Can others corroborate? Bleah. The good news is that I can sort of make Windows apps now, so once I ever have time to figure it out, I can hack together Windoze versions of stuff.

To: eps@reed.edu Date: Thu, 13 Jan 1994 19:31:33 -0500 X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL11] For those of you who don't know what the Penn State Dance Marathon is... The Penn State Dance Marathon is a non-profit fund-raising event which benefits the Four Diamonds Fund. The Four Diamonds Fund was founded in 1972 by the Millards in memory of their son Christopher, 14, who lost his battle with cancer that year. It was established to reduce the financial burdens on families whose children are being treated at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, and also provides grants for clinical, educational, and research programs relating to childhood cancer. The Penn State Interfraternity Council started the Dance Marathon in 1977, and has been the leading contributor to the Four Diamonds Fund ever since. Over 540 students dance continuously for 48 hours, without sleep or rest, to help raise money for children with cancer. In 1989, the Panhellenic Council became co-sponsor, and nearly five million dollars have been donated by the Dance Marathon, making the Penn State Dance Marathon the "nation's largest student-run philanthropy". Why am I writing? Well, I decided that helping children with cancer was worth a weekend of my life, so I am going to dance the whole weekend of February 18-20 away. (Nonstop.) So, if anyone out there is interested in donating to benefit the Four Diamonds Fund, please let me know or stop by my office in 107 Pond. Every little bit counts... even your Coke (oops! Pepsi) money or coffee money helps. Hope you can help out too. -- Michael Chen mchen@cse.psu.edu P.S.

With the Internet experiencing tremendous growth (20 million current users and an estimated 1 million users added each month) we expect the Internet Underground Music Archive to be accessible to the majority of people with computers by the late 1990s. Our goal is to maintain a publically accessible, fast Internet site that archives the music, artwork and information of any musician, group or band that wishes their music to be internationally and freely distributed. The site is currently located: To have your music made available, it must be: 1. ORIGINAL Covers are not legal even though no money is involved. Feh, I don't like it, but we will adide. 2. COPYRIGHTED Copywriting protects the artist making covers of the song illegal. We have info about copyrighting. Use the word "Copyright" not "(c)" because Matt, some guy in Michigan, mailed IUMA this: >Date: Mon, 6 Dec 1993 15:11:25 -0500 >From: "Matthew H. Fields" > > (c) is not recognized as a copyright symbol by the courts. > But "Copyright", "Copr.", and a "c" in a circle are. 3. FREELY DISTRIBUTABLE Freely distributable means that anyone can freely copy it, and freely copy it for anyone they like. Oftentimes software authors allow their 'ware' to be distributed this way but demand/suggest/plead that you mail them a check (usually far below what an equivalent commeri cal product would cost). The concept is coined "Shareware". You may, in your textfile, demand that after one week of playing that a listener must either play your recording at the highest possible volume or send a check/postcard/picture-of-them-as-a-chil d to you. They may choose to ignore your feeble demand. Commerical music is not "freely distributible" because it "belongs" to a label or publisher. Clear? Good, then here's what to send: 5 minutes of audio Choose one song recorded using the highest possible fidelity. We will accept both cassettes and compact discs. Our tape deck has settings for normal bias, high bias, metal cassetes and DNR B and C. 8-1/2 by 11 inches of artwork Photographs, artwork, "cybersleeve," finger paintings,what have you with high contrast for best scanning results. Black and white results in smaller file sizes which is good for the Net. If you wish, you may also send a PC-compatible disk with the image in any common PC format. 2 8-1/2 by 11 inch sides of text Whether or not someone on the net grabs a copy of your music/art will pivot on this text because it is likely to their first contact with you. Important: This would be the right place to include an address for mailing lists/fan clubs/groupies, advertise for a full demo tape, or beg for patronage. Again, you may send a PC-compatible disk with the text in any common format if you wish to save us the trouble of typing it up. If you send a handwritten note, please write le gibly. A personal note to IUMA If your tape has more than one song on it, tell us inthe note which one you want digitized. Be sure to tell us what genre your music fits into, where the band is from, when the song was recorded, and your favorite farm animal so that we can organiz e and cross-reference the archive. PLEASE include phone numbers, times we can reach you in an emergency, and a single name and mailing address. If you have an email address, fax number, etc. include it as well.

To: eps users Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Hi Everyone! I'be been struggling with some of the memory restrictions of my 16+ and thought I'd experiment with sending program changes via midi to my sequencer (vision) to load different files. Everything seems to be fine from an execution standpoint *but* during a file load I get a 'Click' or a break in the sequence as it initiates the load. Am I missing the obvious? Basically all I did was: 1. Change the edit sys/midi to MIDI PROG CHANGE=ON 2. create a sequence using the currently loaded instruments 3. Record a program change from within track 3 (for example, Program (6)) This would allow me to load file 6 from the current working directory to instrument bank 3 while the sequence continues to play. 4. Record the appropriate part with the new instrument during track 3. 5. Repeated steps 3&4 several times using various instrument files. The effect was: Sequence played fine except for clicking or gapping during initial file loads (just for a very short period, like a millisecond) but the gap is noticeable. Any suggestions or input would be appreciated!

I think this has to do with the EPS memory management techniques. This happens on my EPS when the memory is near full. The gap will be anywhere from nothing to almost a second. The EPS needs a contiguous block of memory to load the new samples in. So it slides the other samples down on memory to free up a contiguous block at the top of the memory. Some tests you could try: load a new sample over a larger sample in memory it shouldn't need to move memory to do this, and should have no gap. or try loading over the last instrument you loaded, it should be at the top of memory. If you still get a gap, then it is something else that is causing the gaps you are getting.

You don't need to send program changes to the sampler. Here's what you can do: You just get as many EPS16+ rackmounts as you used to have program changes,-for each track. Throw in another 8 and the memory restrictions you struggle with will be less severe. Now, you don't send program changes to your samplers, you send them to your Midi Patchers. Get a handful of those. If you buy them from Ensoniq you'll keep them happy. Voila ! easy-? In case you don't have Midi cables in matching colors, you could instead perhaps experiment with the experimental/non-official/non-released OS version 1.17.

They stopped printing it, because there are so HD out there, and generally most of them work with the ASR/16-Plus. The Original EPS is a problem instrument when it comes to SCSI. The interface was picky, and had no internal termination, which really causes problems, as most connection errors are termination based anyway. I like your idea of printing up a consumer based list. Perhaps you would want to make a complete distinction between the instruments.

Some supported features of the OS are to allow two tracks of audio recording to either ram (RAM Tracks tm) or to a SCSI hard drive (Disc Tracks tm). PROS: This will let asr-10 owners mix down digitally to a hard disk which can simulate a DAT player (at no extra cost if you already have a scsi equiped ASR-10) (the MIX can then be digital outputed to a real DAT deck later if necessary) If you use the internal sequencer of the ASR-10 then you can play along with the sequencer and record audio tracks that will play back in real time with the sequence. Two audio channels can be bounced down. Punch in/out features are available. Track mix and pan info is supported. CONS: If you are using RAM Tracks, you are limited to the amount of memory in the ASR-10, even a 16 meg equiped asr-10 can only store about 1.5 minutes of digital sound data. This severely limits any potential usefulness of using RAM, but for small parts it is good. When recording to a hard disk, the clock source is automatically set to internal and can not be changed. This means that the digital audio tracks can not be synced to an external sequencer. Any serious midi musician is likely to use a computer based sequencer for the ease of use, extra features and big editing display. The digital audio tracks are of little use in that situation. I originally thought I could record vocals to the audio tracks and then have them play back with the sequencer, but it won't sync supposedly. The interface is very difficult to learn and the manual is not well written. This may just be because I am not familiar with the sequencer on the ASR-10, because the audio tracks are linked to the sequencer and the two audio buttons. I still haven't successfully recorded any digital data to hard disk yet (I have only spent a few hours trying and I chalk it up to my never having used the internal sequencer.) In order to record to scsi you have to set a command page from none or RAM to SCSI. Then select a scsi device to write to, then you have to prepare audio tracks for recording. (I believe this also sets up a directy in file location 38 that stores the audio track data). You also have to set up a scsi buffer in RAM which also takes up some available memory. this scsi buffer lets the transfer of data takes place in real time. You also have to set a size of the recorded file (or allow it to use the whole scsi drive space available.) I still haven't figured out how to record, I think you press play and record after you have prepared the audio tracks and selected an empty sequence. Additionally you can only play sequences and song audio tracks in certain arrangement. A sequence audio track is a track of audio that is recored over an individual sequence and a song audio track is one that is recorded over the entire song in real time. You can only have either sequence audio track A or song audio track A play at once not both, and the same goes for Audio track B. ie. you can sequence audio tracks play on A and have a song audio track play on the B audio track, but not both sequences a+b and song tracks a+b (not four at one time.) summary: Any way I have babbled enough, the ASR-10 2.0 operating system useful for some minimal hard disk recording. It is particularly useful as a cheap DAT player alternative. It is not useful with an external sequencing environment and the learning curve seems to be steep. But hey, its free! The only bug I have found so far, is that after attempting some digital sampling from the digital input (This is sampling not hard disk recording that I am talking about now) my machine periodically spitted out random bits of sound that was pitched all over the place...these sounds were ones that were in memory from previous songs, but had all been deleted ( i.e. no instruments were in memory at the time) The only two ways I could find to stop this was CMD SEQ (delete sequence) and power down. It was a very random occurence and has occured two-three times. I haven't linked it to the Digital I/O board or to OS 2.0 yet, but I think it is obviously the way the OS 2.0 is handling the digital i/o. Since this is a free upgrade from Ensoniq and considering the problem they are having getting the OS out to people (I got lucky to get mine with another piece of gear), I will be willing to upload the OS 2.0 to reed.edu if : 1) At least five people are interested 2) no body objects based on grounds of legality I will also post a review of the digital I/O di-10 board if there is interest .

Couldn't you do this: Set your computer's sequencer to sync to MTC, set the ASR-10's tempo to match the computers, then use the ASR-10's start/stop buttons to control the sequencer? This would enable your computer's sequencer to use the ASR-10's clock rather than it's own, and you should be able to do the HD recording. Yes? No?

I have tried to read up on how to alter the sample to get rid of this squeak, but, being more musically literate than computer literate, I am at a loss. I am using an EPS Classic. Would it be possible for someone to reply with some "layman's" instructions on how to edit a sample?

Future Music is a British magazine that is fairly informative on all aspects of electronic music and recording. Since issue 8 or 9 they've included a CD that comprises same samples, some reader demos, some product reviews and recording clinics. They claim to have no bias towards any music, which may be true but there main audience, judging from their reviews, interviews, reader demos, etc. seems to be in the techno/rave/ambient dance scene. I can probably dig up the address and subscription notices, but for us outside of the UK, that gets expensive quick, and you'll be more likely to get a good deal at your local Bookstar or equivalent. I currenctly pay about $8.-- per issue which was steep but now with a CD, it's ok. The subscription for outside UK is close to a hundred pounds, which is quite a bit more than i pay now. One inconvenience.. I just picked up the December issue, i.e distribution stateside is about a month or two behind Overall it's a pretty good mag. Not as stiff (IMHO as stateside music mags) -- Arne F.

Before you go too far, you should know something. SCSIs transfers to hosts, at least on the ASR-10 under OS 1.60, are very very SLOW. I've benchmarked about 30KB/s to a 486 66Mhz PC with an Adaptec 1542B SCSI controller. Yes, this is slower than transfers to floppy disk. I placed a logic scope on the SCSI REQ/ACK lines to find the cause. It turns out the problem is with the ASR. When the host computer transfers a byte, it waits for the ACK line to go high. It takes the ASR takes upwards of 30 microseconds to raise the ACK line. I have no idea what the ASR is doing during this time (picking its nose?) I was halfway finished writing a Microsoft Windows-based instrument wavesample editor, when I discovered this lovely fact. I wrote letters to Ensoniq asking for advice, but never received a response. So the editor is on the shelf for now. I'm hoping that ASR OS 2.0 fixes the problem. Note that SCSI transfers to peripherals runs fine, about 1.2 megabytes/sec. Only transfers to hosts, such as PCs and Macs (and presumably your SGI workstation), seem to have this problem. -Al -- Alan E.

Only problem is where to get it??? You mentioned you got yours at a book store. The only place I was ever able to get Future Music was a Tower Records in DC. I haven't been able to find it in Pittsburgh, and when I went to Philly, try as I might I couldn't get it at Tower Records or Tower Books. > Overall it's a pretty good mag. Not as stiff (IMHO as stateside music mags) Very true. American music mags suck in general.

First of all , he said that it wouldn't be legal to upload the ASR-10 2.0 OS to the net. He did however say that most end users should have it by the end of next month. It does come with the DI-10 digital i/o board, so if you are planning on buying that, it will come with it. One reason for the delay is that they include a 70 page manual with the OS and this take a while to print and ship. Also one word on the DIgital I/O, there is a OS software revision planned that will allow a SCSI device to be backed up to a DAT player through the digital I/O ports (with the optional DI-10 board of course) Also , In my previous review I said that the ASR-10 audio tracks could not be synced to an external sequencer, but this is only half true. It is of course possible to have the external sequencer slave to the asr-10's clock and play the audio tracks from the ASR-10's midi clock pulse. This isn't ideal if you use an external sequencer, but it is a fairly easy work around. Matthew * * informatik . Struktur .

Firstly, I'm planning on adding some form of mass storage to an ASR-10. Has anyone got any details on the new Syquest 270MB removable cart drive? Only one store here in Australia (at least near me!) knows of its existence and I've seen a brief preview in a computer mag. Does anyone know what type of mechanism this uses and if it will be compatible with the ASR? Has it been released already in the U.S? Secondly, has anyone had any experience with sampling CD's such as those advertised in Keyboard. Comments? Although there are heaps of AUDIO sampling CD's around, CD-ROMS for the ASR-10 seeem to be a bit thin on the ground. I know Ensoniq have three, but there don't seem to be much third party support. Although O/S V2 is out, is there any word on the ASR getting the ability to read samples from other samplers like AKAI / ROLAND? I know it can read EPS. I chose the ASR over the K2000 for various reasons (no flame war please), but support seems to be lacking. Has the ASR run into probs or is it just how I see it from this end? What are things like in the U.S? Anyway, sorry for that stream of unconsciousness...it's just that the more money you pump into the thing, the more careful you have to be about what you do with it. I appreciate any help or advice. kallen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur Kakouris kallen@suburbia.apana.org.au =============================================================================== From m.cc.utah.edu!Michael.Gillilan Tue Jan 25 18:18:54 1994 Return-Path: Received: from 128.110.48.6 by reed.edu (/\==/\ Smail3.1.25.1 #25.21) id ; Tue, 25 Jan 94 18:18 PST Received: from localhost (mwg4616@localhost) by u.cc.utah.edu (8.6.4/8.6.4) id TAA20459; Tue, 25 Jan 1994 19:09:08 -0700 Date: Tue, 25 Jan 1994 19:08:31 -0700 (MST) From: "Michael W.

Does anyone know what OS is shipping w/ > the ASR-10? It is my impression that the EPS line has a habit of crashing more than other synths. My EPS classic crashes every once in a while, and i've found a couple of things that make it more likely to crash. But i haven't used any other samplers for extended times, so i wouldn't know if Ensoniq, really crashes more. -- Arne F.
