Subject: Sound Effects Samples

I have uploaded the sound effects described below to 
oak.oakland.edu:/samples. I am pleased to see the discussion about sound 
effects samples on the list! I plan to try to create FX samples and will 
upload the good ones. I support the idea of a separate FX subdirectory on 
the ftp site.

Here's the description of the file I uploaded - let me know if you find 
any problems in gunzipping the file or in translating it from .gkh format:

jp-fx001.gkh contains the following EPS instruments:

SPACEY (822 Blocks)
     00 patch - SPACEY1 + SPACEY2 - two tones modulating up and down. 
     *0 patch - SPACEY1 sound (Touch tone). 
     0* patch - SPACEY2 sound (Dial tone). 
     ** patch - Telephone dial tone.  

FAN (215 Blocks)
     Electric fan.

SAW (471 Blocks)

Several people suggested creating a fx directory, so I've moved
the file below from /pub/eps/samples/misc to /pub/eps/samples/fx.  As more
files are identified as fx files, I'll put them there.

Thanks for the submission!

Subject: oak.oakland.edu:/pub/eps reorg

Thanks for all of the archive reorg suggestions!  This is a long
message that will hopefully explain what I'm up to.

As several have pointed out, the method we've been using to upload
samples is incompatible in many cases with a very strict
and specific directory structure, as gkh files can contain both an oboe
and a synth pad, and no one blinks an eye <grin>.  So, in the
coming reorg, which I'm working on this evening, there'll still
be a substantial misc directory in the samples section.  The misc
dir will hold sample collections that have too wide a range of
samples to be classified in one specific directory.

The structure I'm working with is based on your suggestions, and
is admittedly a compromise.  I stuck with a slightly simpler structure
than some of you suggested, with the understanding that if we
need to be more specific, it's easy to add a directory and move
affected files.  The software I'm using to generate the indexes
(which are based on the .txt files you've uploaded to describe
your contributions) is extremely flexible, so if something doesn't
work out in the organization in the future, it's a snap to move things 
around.

There's a new sequences directory with entries for the ASR, EPS, and TS 
lines.  I'd prefer to stick with Ensoniq-specific sequences, i.e. GM 
sequences really should go to one of the General MIDI repositories that 
are already established elsewhere.  The reason I created a separate ASR 
directory is there may be a desire for ASR-specific sequences to be 
uploaded that use ASR extensions that aren't feasible to use on the EPS 
series.  Please upload sequences using gkh format or MIDI files when
possible, and don't feel that you have to limit yourself to one sequence 
per gkh file.

Also, please don't think that this directory structure is forcing
you to change any habits.  There's nothing wrong with uploading
a gkh file that can't be classified in any one directory:  if you
upload a disk that has more than one type of sample, a bank of
related or mixed goodies, etc., it's no problem.  Worst
that can happen is it'll be put in the misc directory for
the sampler type.

With that, please feel free to upload banks, samples, sequences, and utils
while the reorg is going on.  Uploading instructions if you need
them are available by sending email to eps-request@oakland.edu.
In the body of your message, type:  get eps upload

I'll send out a tree listing once I finish moving files around,
as there's bound to be some surprises.  I'm composing a
FAX to send to Ensoniq to see if they'd mind me calling
the directory 'ensoniq' instead of 'eps'.

Thanks,

Jeff

Subject: Reorg phase I complete

I've finished phase I of the reorg of the oak.oakland.edu EPS archive,
which mainly involved setting up the index system and indexing everything
except the samples.  You'll find index files (called 00-index.txt) in
every directory except the /samples area, and they'll appear in samples
during "phase II" later in the week. 

There's also a comma-delimited master index available in /pub/eps/eps.idx
that you can either import into a spreadsheet or database applications, or
simply search it using grep, an editor, etc.  It's in the same format as used
for the SimTel(tm) and other archives on oak.oakland.edu, and I'll make a
EPS archive-specific document about the format later. 

Some of the samples have been moved around into the prototype directory
tree, although there's still a lot of work to do in this area along with
adding index entries for each sample, etc.

If you have comments on what I've done so far, please let me know as soon
as you can via email.

Lastly, it's again possible to upload files directly via anonymous ftp to
the /pub/eps/incoming directory, similar to what was possible on
ftp.reed.edu.  Please remember to send me upload announcements via email,
and upload a .txt file to describe your file(s) if it's appropriate. 
I'll keep the "temporary" upload procedure around for a few more days in
case something goes awry, but please don't use it anymore unless you
have problems putting files into /pub/eps/incoming.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hey,

	My mother is a computer teacher at a "magnet school" and she can 
get me a free external MAC harddrive. I think she said 250Mb, but I'm not 
sure. Will this work if I initialize the hard disk via the EPS?

Some of you have been manually joining the eps@oak.oakland.edu list.
That's ok, but I wanted to let you know that I haven't received the
master eps@reed.edu address list from Reed College yet, so this
list is very small and won't reach the entire audience yet.
Once the address list is received, people that haven't already
subscribed yet to eps@oak.oakland.edu will be automatically
subscribed.

Thanks,

Jeff
