We have replaced several of them. Another problem might be that there is no address line to support the 8X memory. The Maartists 4X did have a header for an 8X expansion, but I don't believe they were ever produced. We sold the Maartists products many years ago and the 8X was never mentioned. Incidentally, we have customers asking for the 4X which we have not had for some time now. If anyone has one or more available, we would like to hear from you. P.S. Keep up the good work, Garth.

SO to have a 8x expander, you need a different or addition power supply, and you need to hack the OS (which no one has done). It's interesting to see the way the ASR deals with memory, as opposed to the EPS's. It's like the EPS's have a dedicated spot for the OS, and use overlays. The ASR seems to use all the memory as one pool, and loads the whole thing in. The ASR OS is bigger than the EPS's - and that's not even counting the Akai/Roland translation stuff (which added 33% to the OS).

I do use OS 1.30 (this shipped with the SCSI interface when I bought it). Do you have anything else that you can test the SCSI controller with - an external SCSI hard disk for example, just to eliminate the fact that the problem could be with the interface.

I don't have the number handy. Another option which was quite popular a couple years ago was the Nintendo system (which later came out with a PC version) called Music Time! or something (knowing my memory it isn't anything like that). They are both sort of juvenile but effective. They are not free, however, or even cheap, both being $50 to $100. The program is useful, I actually bought Level 2 because that better matches my ability. Anyway, it has reading and timing exercises and delves into some music theory, but it really is an adjunct to learning to play. No one wants to just play exercises, and that's all any music software can really offer. I suggest you would do well to get the software and learn the basics, maybe buy a book with some simple piano versions of songs you like to augment it. When you start to find you don't practice any more go sign up for some lessons, you will find the live teacher will make a huge difference to your playing and to your interest level. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I'm sad and a little surprised to hear there are problems getting the sysex specifications of the Ensoniq samplers when that is so easy to get hold of in USA. Simon is writing from the UK according to his email adress. I have heard people have problems in other countries too. I don't know the distribution channels at all, but if you need someone to blame ( I always do:) I think you can put it on the people you have dealt with or your country's Ensoniq agent. If they are unwilling to help you, thats unheard of. I would threaten with playing my music outside their shop/door. ( In my case that would definitely have triggered instant first class service :-) You need to tell them to get the External Commands Specification for the EPS16+ Workstation from Ensoniq if they don't have it. It is reasonable that you pay postage charges, or pay for any Xerox copying, otherwise it is free from Ensoniq. So we have all paid for your copy and are thus anxious that you will get it. The Ensoniq samplers do not use a standard Midi sample dump, so you need the specifications to write a program. A simple program for doing what you want for your own use should be easy. If you want to expand on it you may perhaps find the C code Midi libraries for the EPS of some use >I know there is a program called ZeroX which does it >but it's way too much money - I'm >looking for a simple conversion kit. I've not heard of it. How much is way too much? Another idea: If you have an MS-DOS/IBM-PC emulator for your Atari ST,then you could use simple MS-DOS utilities you find at oak.

They suggested I contacted the Ensoniq reps over here in the UK, Key Audio. I did this, but they didn't have the specs, so they told me they would contact Ensoniq (!) for me and get them sent over. I'm still waiting. Maybe I should contact Ensoniq myself direct by mail again. Bugger....... The ZeroX program costs œ150 UK pounds, about 250 bucks - too much for what I need. It's a really good program ( I've tried the demo ) but the demo won't allow any saves! It basically allows a lot of sample manipulation, but of course, I've got an EPS, which does everything I need right now. Sadly, there are no DOS emulators for the Atari that I know of - I guess I shouldn't be using this Atari any more, but I just love it! That's another story, though! Bye!

I'm still waiting. Maybe I >should contact Ensoniq myself direct by mail again. I think it has been standard procedure with these kind of arrangements - ( like Key holding a UK monopoly on importing goods from Ensoniq ) that all contact to the customer should go through the agent. ( Key ) Thus Ensoniq should refer you back to Key as they did. The only reason for contacting Ensoniq should be when the situation is completely locked. You may then not get your document, but you could get a new agent. But you have to give your agent some time and you have to remind them about your request and remind them about notifying you. I had an experience with the Sysex command specification to the EPS many years ago. I had to go through the agent in Netherland ( They are not an agent for Norway anymore, luckily ). I wrote 14 letters asking for the document over a period more than a year. No luck. During a visit in USA I called Ensoniq Customer Service and got the document sent to my hotel the next day. It is my impression that getting these command specifications works OK in the USA, but there are other places ( Canada, Italy, UK, ... ) where this is very difficult. It may be an improper suggestion; someone with a US adress could perhaps help you. You could try getting the best offer from the US civiians on the list; Who would ship you the Ensoniq External Command Specifications for the least? Some college student could start a big industry selling Midi specifications for the Ensoniq synths for $100 a piece! They can not copy it without permission of coarse, but they can sell their free copies for whatever they like? Or if you were planning on buying for example sounds for your EPS/ASR/TS and the sound producing company did not have an agreement with a local agent, you could try to ask if they would function as your US adress for the external command specification and if you paid a little extra they would ship it to you with your other goods.

It is totally internal, so the expansion port cover can be reinstalled after installation. The SCSI I/F is a daughter board that piggy-backs onto a 10-pin header on the 4X. There are two ribbon cables. One goes to a header on the main board and the other goes to the SCSI connector on the back. Things are looking good for having the SCSI I/F for the EPS and EPS16+ available after the first of the year. The boards are designed and we are in the process of having the boards made and stuffed. We'll keep you posted.

Let's completely eliminate the possibility that your drive or it's grounding has anything to do with the problems by a) unplugging the SCSI cable b) unplug the AC cord of the hard disk. If it went away you are lucky. If you still have noise, then your SCSI interface is not properly installed or it is broken. You said you had installed it twice. I suggest first take the SCSI card out again. Look carefully at the legs of the ad-on board if one could have been bent, Straighten it if so. At the same time inspect the board for visual damage like exess solder, cracks in the copper lines and the likes. It never hurts.( My SCSI interface had visible faults causing intermittant failiure which were easy to fix with a knife ) If this fais you better get professional help either from a shrink or an electronic engineer.

It will convert .wav files to the following formats: Any Giebler Disk Image (.eda, .ede) Any Giebler File Image (.efe, .efa) GKH format (.gkh, .ins) It also can do what AWAVE, SoundVert, or anything else can't (for the PC) - it can place a .wav file within an existing File Image or Disk Image - anywhere in that instrument! Awave and Soundvert can only do 1 Wavesample per layer, and it has to be the only Wavesample in that layer. You can also edit any parameter you want on that instrument before committing to disk. And you can write to the floppy or SCSI device from the program itself. OK, we're biased - we wrote the program - but check the specs out and decide for yourself. EPS/ASR Tools for Windows is $59.95 - but if you are looking for a lower cost version, get TS/MR Tools for Windows - it has the same capabilities, only the MIDI editing capabilities are not there. That is $39.95. If you are concerned about the crashes - I hope to get the 3.2 out of beta-form by the end of the week. But the Disk Utilities section works fine right now.

To coin a phrase: Alchemy rules. I quit owning Macs quite some time ago (went the Windoze-way --- no flames, please). Nevertheless, there was one program which I always admired for it's unparalleled features (unparalleled at least on a PC): Alchemy. I used Vers. 2.xx (can't remember at the moment), which allowed direct interaction between the Mac and my 16+: A wavesample was transferred via SCSI to the sample in the same moment when an edit occured! In this way, I could always here my sounds with all my parameter-programmings (try this with your avarage sound-card :-P) I can't remember any hassels, using a small Classic with about 4 MB RAM. Worked like a charm. As a matter of fact, I bought a used LC for little money only a week ago, with just one goal in mind: running Alchemy. I will tell you my renewed experiences as soon as I found the time to blow the dust off my old disk-box to grab the diskette.

One time on my PC, apparently due to wrong termination (... the machine gave the impression of saving everything as usual, but found only data-trash the next time. No chance for recovery.). A second time there were problems with an earlier version of Giebler's EDM, when the program was buggy: The file-allocation-table was destroyed in one case. Gary Giebler himself recovered this disk (with the exception of one Subdirectory) - for free, BTW (thanks again, Gary); the bug got fixed in the meantime, so don't worry. Otherwise, the ZIP seems to be a robust, reliable data-storage-device.

I all depends what you call crazy. All I ever use is samples from "around the house". One of my last pieces is made up of samples from 64 antique toasters. Now I'm working on a piece made up of samples that varry from bicycle stands to cans being draged on the ground, bottles rubbed on a tiled floor, heavy chariots being smashed on elevator walls, close micing of two inch magnetic tape being streched.etc, etc, etc....

Hello Jurki To answer your question regarding the new Waveboy FX disk its really different. There is basically 3 types of Fx available on one disk; GRAIN-STORM PITCH-WARP LO-FIDELITY To basically quote the small manual it goes like this: The GRAIN-STORM effect uses a technique called granular synthesis. In graphic terms, this effect chops the incoming sound into short grains, and then sprays them across the spectrum. Like an air-brush, the spray has control for how wide an area it covers. Each grain gets a different, randomly selected length and frequency. Since there are thousands of grains per second, one pitch turns into a cloud of different pitches, but no pitch is dominant because they are all changing so rapidly. WHAT KIND OF SOUNDS DOES IT MAKE? The grains material is the incoming audio. Each grain has a different pitch, however, so the combination they can destroy any sence of pitch in the original sound. If you put a pure sine wave intro the GRAIN-STORM, the output is a random collection of short beeps at many different pitches. At some setting it sounds like a R2D2. With richer material, the individual pitches are hard to hear. It becomes a dense block of sound,. whose dynamics and shape follow the incoming sound. At extreme settings, and with feedback, it sounds less and less like the original and more like a rainstorm. When set for very small pitch deviation, it produces a chorus-like spatial enhncement, the grains are spread out across the stereo field. PITCH-WARP This effect is a transposes pitch, but in an unusual way. It uses a technique called frequency shifting. and finally LO-FIDELITY LO-FIDELITY simulates various systems that distort sound. It is a serial chain of effects: high-pass filtering; pre-emphasis filter, clipping, dc drift, quantization, and then further EQ and band-limiting. WHEW Well I hope this helps. I'll let you know how well it works later. Since I literally just received it last week. I plan on using it on some sampled loops that I've been creating with a couple of old synths I've been using (JUP-4 & MONO-POLY) and I'll let you know.

Hi, I'm new to the list, my name is David, I live in Sydney Australia, re-loacted from Adelaide 2 years ago, and I have had an EPS classic since they were first released, and I love it, know it inside out, I have been producing techno/jungle/rave music for many years and playing as DAMC at raves and clubs all around Australia with my trusty old EPS, and I also am the keyboardist/song writer/programmer with a cross over (techno/rock-funk/trip-hip hop) band called BLISS, and have also toured around Australia with them, so over the years my poor old EPS has been given a fair amount of abuse, hence having the disc drive replaced twice, the mod and pitch wheels replaced, and the screen/user input circuit board replaced to keep me going...anyway it's still going strong, and I still love my EPS :) I also sequence all my songs with the internal sequencer, and find it a lot faster to get results than using computer seq. :) Anyway just a quick question that has been on my mind for years.. Lets say I sample a single note of an analog synth, with a long duration, and over that duration the filter goes from bright to dull, ok fine, Now I can play back that sample and move the start point of the sample by modulating it with the mod wheel, so in affect create and sequence the filter changing of a sampled sound, but something I have been trying to get to work for a long time, is to modulate the start point of the sample with the LFO, you are able to set it up, and assign it, but it does not work..why? this is my question... thanks DAMC ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ DAMC on the www: http://www.ozemail.com.au/~damc BLISS on the www: http://www.magna.com.au/~kymbo/friends/bliss/b_bliss.html ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Make sure your LFO is not configured to reset. If it resets to zero on every keypress, every keypress is going to start your sampled filter from the beginning. - -- _ ___ _ _ _ [) | | ( ( [_ | | | / [) /_\ |_| /_\ |\/| |\ \_/ ) ) [_ |_ |_ |. \_] |\ | | | | | | | | ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

You probably haven't set the DEPTH on the LFO to a higher value than 0. Turn it to 99, and set the MOD AMT/RANGE on the Wave page to the desired amount. Remember to adjust the LFO AMT in the PITCH page so you don't get Vibrato all over the place. Or at least turn it down. I was in a band where they kept getting us confused with your band.

You _did_ consider that your LFO will always start at the same point, as long as you didn't turn of the parameter RESET off? If RESET=ON, your LFO will always begin a new cycle when a key is pressed -> hence no effect on SAMPLE START, even if you change the MOD AMOUNT value to maximum. Otherwise, the LFO will modulate continuously (sp?) and change the start point of your sample (--- of course you are aware of the fact that you will encounter some heavy clicks and pops, when SAMPLE START hits larger wave-amplitudes, esp. on low-frequency-material, so be careful ;-) Hope this was the answer!

Goldwave, a Windows sample editor, will let you create your own function to manipulate the wave, it is pretty crazy what you can do if you know what you are doing. It has its share of fx's, of course. But if you really want to manipulate the fx's, get Cool Edit. Great quality plus a lot more control and options that a mortal would need. Virtual Waves, a french program from Fretless International will let you generate waves from almost every known synthesis technique (oscillators, additive, noise, etc.) plus it will process your waves through its share of effects (delays, filters, spectral modulation, etc). It is sort of an object based soft synth, very good stuff. I must have every known soft synth out there; I love the fact that I have never touched an analog synth in my whole life, yet I have digitally reproduced every sound they make, and then some.

Any Ensoniq file on the NET or in your computer is called an IMAGE. That's because it is essentially a photograph of the bytes that are on the floppy/SCSI disk, plus a header of some sort. There are two type of images - - DISK and FILE, Disk Images are photograph of the entire disk, which means all the files and the FAT. File Images are just the file part, with a header as well. Since the EPS came out, there have been varied PC utilities to take images from Ensoniq media. The first, I believe, was the EPSRead/Write suite by Goh King Hwa. That introduced the GKH format, which it is just a header and the Ensoniq Disk Image. Another came out, called EPSDisk. This used the GKH format, and combined the utilities into one program. It added formatting and other things. Giebler's Ensoniq Disk Manager made another format, called EDE and EFE. EDE's are Disk Images and EFE's are File Images. Again, these files are just the Ensoniq image with a header. But there are two main differences between Gieblers and the GKH format. One is that Giebler's header is 512 bytes long, and keeps everything within the file at 512 byte (which is a BLOCK) boundaries. Another is that Giebler uses a "skip table". This keeps track off all the unused blocks of 512 bytes. Then the empty blocks are NOT written to the file, making the file smaller. That way, the PC file will be the same size as the information on the file, and will not have to be 819000 bytes, or 1600000 bytes al the time. I feel that Gieblers format is the better one. As time went on, the programs adapted themselves with the new HD ASR format. Gieblers was then able to read SCSI disks, and he has also made some of his own formats, like the ability to archieve whole directories, etc. EPSDisk started using the File Image format, and used the .INS extension. The current version of EPSDisk extracts .INS from GKH images, and guess what - they are the .EFE format of Gieblers! An EFE format file is a FILE IMAGE format. The Giebler Ensoniq Disk Extractor, that is available on the Web (shareware), only will WRITE (not read) DISK IMAGES (not file images). On the Mac side, Terje Finstad has made EPSm, which does the same thing. It can read foreign ED* image files. I do not believe it can read EF* File Images. So.. 1) You will need to find some way to convert the EFE to a disk image. I don't know how you would do that. So, you are probably asking, why did you guys at SoundCentral put oup all the sounds in the EFE format, and alienate all the Mac users? Good question. We are in the process of changing everything there to the .ED* Giebler format, and instead of gzipping everything, we are using PKZip. SO every Ensoniq file will be in the .EDE or .EDA file format, and PKZipped, so all wioll ahve the .zip extension. Macs can easily unzip things, and you can use EPSm to get the ED* file onto a floppy for your Ensoniq sampler to read. The one problem with that is - it's only one Disk Image per sound. Wouldn't it be nice if you could compile a bunch of EFE's online into one EDE ONLINE... and then download that Disk Image? Yes... We are also trying to work on a freeware (not shareware) compiler so you can do this. SC wuold do the compiling for you, and you can use the FREEWARE extractor to unzip and write the file to the Ensoniq floppy. No word on availability. Hope that helps.

Subject: EPS: Tools problems I don't want to discuss RCS matters really on this list, but I do need to address an issue that has cropped up. My apologies to the waste of bandwidth. EPS/ASR Tools right now is in transition - it is a beta version of a new version that will be out before the end of the year. I would appreciate anyone who downloads the program from our site and runs it, to let us know what they encounter and what they think of the program. The program was working very well up to the 2.7 version, and the early versions of 3.0, but we are since making a major reworking of the program. We have thus "demoted" the program to BETA status, and we invite anyone who wants to to download the program and evaluate it. The reason I address this is that there is a person (I don't mind saying his name - Fredrick Grafstrom), that generally is disatisfied with the program and has been e-mailing around to the people on the list about it. Finally he went from "undercover" to put a list post on it: At 20:22 1996-12-17 +0000, you wrote: >Yes, unfortunately this program is no good. > >I bought the first version. >And i have been upgrading regulary, with the hope that the bugs would >disappear. > >Have not tried the last one. > >It has never worked satisfactory. > >And therefore I have not been using it for any work with the Asr-10. > >Its a shame. > >Carl Arne > > >Yes I agree, and I think everyone else should, that is having problems with >this program. I give you one more chance Rubber or I will skip this program >for good, sorry. > >Fredrik G. I would appreciate that notices about the program come to me directly and not through the list - if you are going to quote a conversation like was done above. No need to waste the bandwidth. I have been trying to reach Fredrik to help with the problems, but his mail has bounced on me frequently. I even posted to the list asking for him. Again, to reiterate, Tools is in Beta right now just for the reasons Carl Arne and Fredrik stated. The were previous versions that worked very well. I just wish they would have came to me recently about it - I have received a note from either men in at least 4 months. Frederik and Carl, send me your beta lists! Or just hang on until it's done. Or ask for your money back. Any are accepted. We believe Tools will become the standard program to use for the serious EPS/ASR users.

It's just that I don't think any improvements have been made to any of the later versions, comming after the 2.7, I got in the first place. I thought you didn't take me seriously. I know the 3.2 version is a beta, but the 3.0 wasn't and worked in the same bad way as the 2.7. I really had high hopes on the 3.0 but when I tried to use it, it was really a disappointment. I know this was dumb of me, but I don't like you telling lies about me. You're saying that I haven't been helping you getting rid of these bugs. You know and I know, that is not trough!

And I'm really willing to help you, as I always have been, making it to a stable tool. I just don't know any of the emails you're telling me that you've sent.

You know, I just had a SCSI problem with my ASR the other day for the first time in my life. I had unhooked my drives in order to travel with one of them and then when I rehooked them, they were unhappy and not booting. My first thought was "Oh no! My file system has died!" And then, determined not to panic, I started rearranging the cables. The third configuration of 25-50, 50-50 and terminator worked. (this must've been the original arrangement.)

I have the same problems, but I've come up with a quick solution to release the stuck key syndrome anyway. My EPS 16+ seems to stuck up the 6th octave and play random notes, I've found out that If you use the option "Recalibrate Keyboard" the problem disappears. You guys probably know this already anyway, but so far it's working for me!

Does this "demotion" include the TSTools as well? I've heard several horror stories about your current release 2.1 of TsTools: Apparently, the program creates corrupted EFE and EFA files which can crash the EPS and ASR. If these files start getting posted on Web sites, they'll create a lot of problems for many users. You need to correct this immediately. To make things more confusing, TsTools incorrectly identifies some valid Ensoniq files as corrupt! Also, the program incorrectly identifies some Cakewalk files as corrupted Ensoniq files and prompts you to delete them! The disk utilities section in version 2.1 doesn't run at all - it exits with a runtime error 53 message. Also, converting a WAV file into an Ensoniq file requires clicking the mouse on an 'OK' button more than 10 times! It also creates a phantom file in the root directory of the hard disk. Scary stuff... Considering the many "difficulties" you are experiencing with your programs, when you remove "works in NT" from your ads, it would be wise to consider removing "better than Giebler's EDM" as well.

For this reason I turn it on two hours before I play the keyboard (terrible solution).

I've never had transformer related problems, but with my old EPS Classic, I ALWAYS used to have crashing problems similar to the ones you have mentioned that were related to this cheap connector that joins the two halves of the keyboard assembly circuit board. It was not until I replaced this connector with a ribbon cable that most of my problems disappeared-adding two fans solved the rest of them (my heat sink would get extremely hot!). The reason for this is the connector wears itself due to the circuit boards flexing ever so slightly when aftertouch pressure is applied. When I replaced mine, I could see where the connector had worn little groves in it. Eventually, the wear gets so bad that the connection between the two boards becomes intermittant. When this happens, the EPS thinks you are playing it, which causes all of your random notes. The crashing happens because sometimes too many notes are sent at once, and the EPS just can't handle them all at once, so it dies. One way that I could get my EPS to crash all the time was to do this: boot it, load any instrument, select it, then pick up the front of the unit a couple of inches, and let it drop back onto the stand/floor-lift it just high enough so that the impact causes all of the keys to dispress at the same time. Nine times out of ten, the EPS would crash with ERROR 44 - REBOOT? This would not happen however if no instruments were loaded or some were loaded but not selected-an instrument had to be loaded and selected for this to work. The EPS just couldn't handle all of those keypresses at the same time, so it would hang. > Hope this helps a little..There is also a positive side to this story: I once > had a performance which included some of the random notes and stuttering the EPS > produces before crashing. You think that's bad? My unit went beserk sending random notes in the middle of a funeral I was playing for! Talk about embarrasing. My unit did not like the cold weather at all, so if I had to leave it out in the cold and play in a hurry once it was brought in, I would take off the top four screws, swing open the cover, and shoot the internal circuitry with a hair dryer set to high for a couple of minutes-this would get everything toasty warm. It actually would work when it was really cold, but as it warmed up it would start acting up (temperature changes caused the connector to move). I think I still have the procedure on how to fix this connector yourself. If anybody wants a copy of it, email me and I'll send it to you.

I have the same problems, but I've come up with a quick solution to release the stuck key syndrome anyway. My EPS 16+ seems to stuck up the 6th octave and play random notes, I've found out that If you use the option "Recalibrate Keyboard" the problem disappears. You guys probably know this already anyway, but so far it's working for me!

Does this "demotion" include the TSTools as well? I've heard several horror stories about your current release 2.1 of TsTools: Apparently, the program creates corrupted EFE and EFA files which can crash the EPS and ASR. If these files start getting posted on Web sites, they'll create a lot of problems for many users. You need to correct this immediately. To make things more confusing, TsTools incorrectly identifies some valid Ensoniq files as corrupt! Also, the program incorrectly identifies some Cakewalk files as corrupted Ensoniq files and prompts you to delete them! The disk utilities section in version 2.1 doesn't run at all - it exits with a runtime error 53 message. Also, converting a WAV file into an Ensoniq file requires clicking the mouse on an 'OK' button more than 10 times! It also creates a phantom file in the root directory of the hard disk. Scary stuff... Considering the many "difficulties" you are experiencing with your programs, when you remove "works in NT" from your ads, it would be wise to consider removing "better than Giebler's EDM" as well.

I've never had transformer related problems, but with my old EPS Classic, I ALWAYS used to have crashing problems similar to the ones you have mentioned that were related to this cheap connector that joins the two halves of the keyboard assembly circuit board. It was not until I replaced this connector with a ribbon cable that most of my problems disappeared-adding two fans solved the rest of them (my heat sink would get extremely hot!). The reason for this is the connector wears itself due to the circuit boards flexing ever so slightly when aftertouch pressure is applied. When I replaced mine, I could see where the connector had worn little groves in it. Eventually, the wear gets so bad that the connection between the two boards becomes intermittant. When this happens, the EPS thinks you are playing it, which causes all of your random notes. The crashing happens because sometimes too many notes are sent at once, and the EPS just can't handle them all at once, so it dies. One way that I could get my EPS to crash all the time was to do this: boot it, load any instrument, select it, then pick up the front of the unit a couple of inches, and let it drop back onto the stand/floor-lift it just high enough so that the impact causes all of the keys to dispress at the same time. Nine times out of ten, the EPS would crash with ERROR 44 - REBOOT? This would not happen however if no instruments were loaded or some were loaded but not selected-an instrument had to be loaded and selected for this to work. The EPS just couldn't handle all of those keypresses at the same time, so it would hang. > Hope this helps a little..There is also a positive side to this story: I once > had a performance which included some of the random notes and stuttering the EPS > produces before crashing. You think that's bad? My unit went beserk sending random notes in the middle of a funeral I was playing for! Talk about embarrasing. My unit did not like the cold weather at all, so if I had to leave it out in the cold and play in a hurry once it was brought in, I would take off the top four screws, swing open the cover, and shoot the internal circuitry with a hair dryer set to high for a couple of minutes-this would get everything toasty warm. It actually would work when it was really cold, but as it warmed up it would start acting up (temperature changes caused the connector to move). I think I still have the procedure on how to fix this connector yourself. If anybody wants a copy of it, email me and I'll send it to you.

Vee don't need to show you no steenkin' dot seeg!" >============================================================================= Hello Jonathan; As Ensoniq's original pedal are quite difficult to find here in France (although they are probably made in Italy...), I had to try several models so here are my - non-technical - thoughts of the day. Ideally, a standard MONO-jack terminated volume pedal should work, since (as far as I know) the ASR sends a low-voltage current (a few CC Volts, no audio signal) which is faded by the potentiometer of the pedal. This current acts as a control voltage, Do not use pedals with Input/Output jacks, which are designed to control audio signals. BUT still, many pedal controllers do not allow a complete control range from full attenuation to full volume (i.e. you'd not get a MIDI value from 0 to 127 but, say, 12 to 110 instead. If you have no MIDI monitoring, you can verify by reading the values in the ANALOG INPUT Tests page: hold COMMAND+1+3+scroll). Some Yamaha & Roland standard volume pedal (they have a nice feel) seem to work properly (when they are not worn out...). I found a cheap, no-name Italian one which is OK. Not with a very nice feel (one feels that grainy, ratchet-type transmission under the foot) but OK. Anyway do not buy any other than Ensoniq's model without testing it before. Most dealers don't even know what you're talking about, so make sure you can get another model or your money back. Happy Christmas!

This is to ensure that everything is making a good connection. Chips and connectors can wiggle loose after time / vibration / temperature changes and cause intermittent failures.

Fine- the k2000 series is truly excellent- BUT - -please be aware of the following differences between the TS-10 and K2000. 1. The k2000 will not always properly reproduce Ensoniq Samples ( for some Reason-I.E. STUPID pitch transposition algorithm-- the Kurzweils will not transpose a sample higher than 12 steps/notes) so you may find some very quiet sections in your instruments (i.e. DEAD KEYS). 2. The effects section on the k2000 sounds more like Digitech than Ensoniq. 3. NO POLYPHONIC AFTERTOUCH ( and a really CHEAP feeling keyboard ). 4. Thousands of programming options (read- lots of scrolling). However- on the plus side you'll get 1. sampling. 2. Excellent SCSI. 3. Resonant Filters (polyphoniq ones- digital). 4. You'll get to use a nice IBM disk format.(makes Bill Gates happy) ;) food for thought- ( hopefully you can afford to ADD the k2000 to your TS-10) humbly submitted by.......... - ----------------^------------------------------------------------------ /|\ Uncle Viceroy | ------|------ Remember...

My repeating-myself-for-the-100d-time-grandmotherly general remark is : Always be careful with files you find on the net and be skeptical to PC utilities generating instrument files for the Ensoniq samplers, A little more specifically about the above quote from Gary: The premises are rather vague, at least careful, while the conclusion is not. I agree to the conclusion ( obviously, but it's non of my business ) if the premises are correct, while it is my impression, from reading internet postings for some years that most people don't care neither way. I would hope that the impression could be wrong and that most of the non ignorant people feel the issue is so obvious that there is no need for comments. I am referring to that several programs have been - made, distributed and sold - for PC/IBM/MS/Wintel machines that create files with extentions 'EFE' that are what I have called 'time bombs'. On some samplers they will crash when/if you edit them, while on others they will crash immidiately. I think that is a problem, in particular the 'time bomb', while many people have expressed they disagree. There are many of those files on the net today. Usually it is caused by real errors, intrinsic errors in the programs generating the files. One large archive - Petteri's - clearly warns about this. The tool discussned by Gary shouldn't need special mention but users and the creator should be made aware. I am a little disturbed by that Gary, apparently, is referring to rumors instead of his own experience. I have been assured that the files are OK ( from a very biased source ), but I have no experience with that program nor the files it generate. Should we find out? As indicated above, if anybody wants to save the world for corrupt Ensoniq files, they are unfortunately several years too late. ( But I think it's good they try ). In addition to faulty programs, of which there have been several, you probably have to count on wrong use of the programs, You also should take very seriously that there exist several faulty zipping/unzipping programs for the PC. These introduce errors in the programs and in the files. Also a lot of errors, in particular in the Mac world, are introduced by invalid settings associated with cross platform transfers. ( carriage return , line feed substitution ) Luckily, many of these errors which are extrinsic to PC Ensoniq utilities will show up before you have loaded a file in the sampler, but not all will. No music comes out of crashes, No music comes directly from discussing the crashes neither. If you avoid those and other crashes you may already have created your ultumate masterpiece and have all the time in the world to discuss them?

I had the same problems with two different EPS's and eventually could no longer use them to play live. (It got kind of embarassing having to reboot in the middle of a song.) This may not be the solution you are looking for but here was my final solution was this: I send both keyboards back to Ensoniq and had them replace the little circuit boards under the keys. Unfortunately, this could not be done so the entire key assembly had to be replaced. This cost me $140 apiece (the price of the whole key assembly) and I feel that I was ripped off, but I have had no, none, zero, nada nothing in the way of problems with them since. The explanation was that there is a chip on one of the little circuit boards that had become flaky and decided to lose it's little mind at the most inappropriate times. Ensoniq said that they could not just replace the chip because of some calibration bullshit (I'm sure someone out there knows why) but I feel that paying that much to have my sanity back was really worth it. Oh, Ensoniq was nice enough to give me the old key assemblies so I have two of them sitting in my bedroom gathering dust. I was told that the street price for a replacement key was $5 so in a perfect world, I have about $240 of useless plastic reminding me of my former woes. Any ideas what to do with them?

I'll start, but I want to hear your comments Dear Santa, my ideal sampler would have: - - NO CRASHES (sorry about that, it is kind of personal) - - The option of pitch shifting the wavesample in real time instead of just transposing it like every sampler out there - - Better interactivity with both PC and Mac (and the Amiga, sorry about the omission). I believe that if you have a computer monitor you shouldn't have to deal with a crummy monochrome LCD. I am talking about full manipulation of every parameter of the sampler in real time via a connection with the computer. Nowadays if you are an e-musician it is highly probable that you use a computer to that end, so it is a matter connecting the dots for the e-music industry. - - The ability to create sounds. Physical modelling, additive, substractive, FM sythesis, noise generation, they should all be in the sampler of the future. All sounds as usual loaded from a disk (or a PC's hard disk, hurray!!) to memory (in SIMMS, of course). And, of course, the ability to modulate the properties of these sounds in real time (e.g.: Say you just generated a saw wave, you should be able to change pulse width at will). In short, the sampler companies should take a hint from the few brave ones that are making sofware synthesizers; believe me, they are the wave of the future. Has anyone seen the Kyma and the Capybara? Look for them in the web and you'll get the picture. - - I don't know if any sampler has this, but it is a great idea: a breakaway module of the sampler that could act as a small and portable digital recorder to capture sounds in the real world (outside your room or studio), for those of us that simply can't or won't pay for a MiniDisc recorder or (gasp!) a portable DAT recorder. - - The ability to buy a version of a given sampler WITHOUT the sequencer. Some of us have computers. OK, I'll stop here. As you may very well see, I would like to see the sampler transformed from just a digital recorder to a full blown sound workstation, but still geared towards music. Please post your comments. I am NOT from the industry, this is just for intellectual and creative curiosity.

Whenever I try to format (or anything else having to do with the scsi) I get an error message that says 'unconnected scsi dev' on the asr screen. I have gone through old eps digests as well as old transoniq hackers and I have found no help save for the following: 1. The cable that came with the drive is about 2 feet long. I have seen some recommendations that the cable should be as short as possible. I separately purchased 3 dos formatted zip disks (made by maxell) so I have discounted the problem that occurs when one tries to format an unformatted disk. I have the terminator turned on so I have also discounted the problem that occurs when the terminator is not active. I make sure that I first place a zip disk in the drive, turn on the zip drive, wait for it to stop it's initial startup, then I turn on the asr and try to format the drive. I have seen a few others mention this same message and then some responses concerning possible problems, but I have not seen anyone who had previosly had this problem write back that it was solved and 'such and such' was how they did it. I would appreciate any ideas before I try to buy a shorter scsi cable or a scsi card for my pc. thanks Sean - -- | The CruxShadows | cshadows@nexus.polaris.net | | P.O.

Through the magic of EPSm, my samples can happily commute between work (PPC 8100) and home studio which includes a Classic. I recently got the bright idea to bring performances created on Classic sequencer into Mac (MOTU Digital Performer) for rearranging, trying out alternate voicings etc. thru a Korg X5DR. We're talking purely MIDI sequence data here, but I can't get Performer to see the sequence files nohow. EPSm sees them just fine. Terje's excellent manual says about the EPSm "exPort" command: "If an ASR or 16+ sequences are selected, then exPort will save the sequence as a Midi file of type 1." which is just what I want to do only with Classic sequences. I'm missing something very, very, simple right? Right, and I'm only working on it during lunch too. Seems like if I could save an EPS sequence as type 1 then Performer would have to recognize it. I would greatly appreciate some expert help & this is the place to come for it. Thanks very much in advance.

Is there going to be some "time bombs" - no complaints so far - phew... To the next matter -> some ESQm samples are now available. 4 so far, but more tomorrow. Those samples are mainly multilayered, large (over 3000 blocks) samples and they include the basic sample(s) in the first stereolayer, and the mucho resonance (ESQm filter) layer in the next. Velocity controls the cutoff in the resonance layer. Most of them are looped. (Some are not so good, but you can do the job yourself if you need). I've poured quite many hours on these samples, so I really hope you enjoy...

I tried Win95, Win3.11 and Win NT 4.0 and had similar results on all platforms: crashes, divide overflows, hung program, divide by zero, etc. I am running an IBM Value point P90 with 32 megs of ram, an 8x cdrom, 1 gig hard drive, 28.8 modem, svga monitor. This should have been sufficient to run the program confortably. Instead, there was quite a bit of disk thrashing going on. The modality of dialogs proved to be another problem. That is, I was able to bring up other 'pages' while, say the page to draw a .wav was busy running. This hung the program regularly. The programmer should REALLy add some exception handling around his code to trap and handle errors! I often got a VB message box, and then program just died silently. The program does not use a familiar interface. For 'pages', tabstrips should have been used. The placement of iconic buttons was rather odd. The tooltip (fly-by info about controls) was never correct (the little text box never cooresponded to the control my pointer was over). The author should look at existing commercial products and try to adopt the familiar look and feel. Using the program was NOT intuitive. I was often confused, even after reading the on-line documentation and browsing the help file. I was only able to download a 16 bit version of the product. What's the deal here? 16 bit VB code is painfully slow to execute on 95 or NT. It appears to me that the author was writting the product for the lowest common denominator. My other criticism of the product is that a beta should NOT be crippled. At most, it should just have an expiration date, or have a limited number of times it can run. I wanted to check out the quality of .wav to asr format conversions. That is one of the primary reasons I would have to purchase the product.

I doubt that you would benefit from an emulated Mac-_software_ on a PC, because you won't have emulated _hardware_-access. No MIDI, no SCSI, no SMPTE .... Emulation may be useful for CAD, word- or some types of image-processing, but certainly not for programs making heavy use of busses and/or interfaces (and especially Alchemy, which is known to be very "hardware-oriented"). ... this is a real pity as I had to buy a Mac only for running Alchemy ... 8-) Dietz / ASL Dietmar -Dietz- Tinhof Music-SoundEngineering-SoundDesign - --!-T-H-E--M-O-S-T--C-O-L-O-R-F-U-L--P-L-A-C-E--O-N--W-W-W-!-- http://croco.atnet.at/club/dietz/welcome.htm - ------------------!-P-L-A-Y--I-T--L-O-U-D-!------------------- http://draht.de/bands/st_marx/st_marx.html ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Graham" Subject: Re: EPS: Sequence Software Cubase Audio vs. Cakewalk Pro Audio vs. Logic Audio (I'm stating the Audio versions since it sounds like that's what's being sought) Cakewalk is very easy and intuitive to use, but has a minimum of audio editing and manipulation facilities. No pitch shifting, and limited audio quantization. Cubase is more powerful, but therefore somewhat harder to learn. I heard of problems with frequent crashes in early releases of Cubase Audio, but I don't know what the current release status is. Many more audio features, I believe. Logic is probably the most powerful sequencer available for PC *or* Mac, let alone the most powerful of the three. It also comes with a _steep_ learning curve. I believe it does such cool things to the audio as audio-to-MIDI (pitch recognition) and MIDI-to-audio (forcing new pitches onto the audio data without altering tempo). I think Cubase does similar tricks, but Logic's programmers are reluctant to program anythin unless they can make the sequencer do it in REAL TIME - - on the fly. Really. Very cool, very powerful, but not as intuitive or quick to pick up as the others. Oh - Logic also uses a hardware dongle off the serial port as copy protection. This means that once you own the program, you own all future updates as well; but occasionally there are glitches with dongle recognition. It all depends on how much power you need and how much time and effort you're willing to invest in understanding your software.

It works excellent and I have encountered no problems. The use of custom designable mixermaps and such make it really nice for this sort of thing. The only other time that I want to use another sequencer is when I want to get that old-school analogue sequencer in my composing. I have found a couple of such programs on the net that emulate that sort (Tekno Boxx, and SEQ-303 for a start. As far as the crashes with Cubase go. I had an earlier version and it would freeze at times (when I was moving around between windows during real-time editing). With the latest version that I have this has not happened once and I've been using it for months now. Stienberg also provided me the update for free because I was a registered user. As far as Logic being the only "real"sequencer, it is no doubt the most powerful (and expensive), but does that mean that anything below is not real? I don't think so. The other posts were all good advice.

I just purchased a brand new iomega zip drive. Now, mind you....is my second drive. I shipped the first one back to iomega because it didn't recognize the FORMAT command from my ASR-10. They said that they were aware of the problem, and that I should send it to them, and they would send me one that would work (one that follows the AV spec for hard drives). While it was away, I figured that I would go ahead and get a new one, to use to back-up files on my VS880. I got the new drive, hooked it up to my 880, and low and behold...when I tried to format the scsi....the 880 locked up. I mean LOCKED UP and I couldn't do anything. I new this spelled trouble...because I would have to turn off my 880 without shutting it down properly. AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I POWERED BACK UP??? ALL THE SONGS...GONE GONE GONE. Now, I figured...ok...I lost a couple of instrumentals...but they're midi data anyway. I can redo the vocals that were lost. The main songs that I didn't want to lose were stored on zip already. Now, when I re-formatted my 880 and tried to load a song from zip disk...I got media errors...on ALL OF THE ZIPS. Now, these things were not stored anywhere near harmful fields, or humidity..or anything else that could have damaged them. So, I figure...ok..I'll just take this new one back, and wait for my replacement drive from iomega. Guess what? When that thing came in, IT DOESN"T WORK EITHER. It doesn't work with my ASR-10...and it doesn't even work with my VS-880 anymore. (at least it used to do that). I am beyond pissed at this point. DOES ANYONE USE A SYQUEST?

Songwriting Contracts 2. Mechanical Rights 3. Songwriting Organizations 4. The Jingle Market 5. The Music News Link =0D SONGWRITING CONTRACTS There is nothing more confusing in the music business than contracts. All music publishers and record companies are in the business for one reason: To make money! Companies are more interested these days in minimizing their expenses while maximizing their profits. That is why it is so important that songwriters be educated about the business side of music as well as the craft of writing songs. =0D Once you have located a publisher or publishers you like and who are interested in your work, its time to consider the publishing contract-which is an agreement in which the songwriter grants certain rights to the publisher for one or more songs. The contract specifies any advances offered to the writer, the rights that will be transferred to the publishers, the royalties a songwriter is to receive and the length of the time the contract is valid. Usually when a contract is signed a publisher will go for a 50-50 split with the songwriter. This is a usual industry standard. The main reason the publisher takes 50 % is because he has to cover major expenses in running his business and for the work he has to do to try and get your song recorded. We highly recommend that if you do sign with any publisher or record company that you consult an Entertainment lawyer to look over your contract before you sign it. There is really no standard contract in the music business. Most contracts will differ between publishers. If you have further questions about contracts contact The Songwriter's Guild Of America they offer a contract review service and can be a big help in helping you to understand what a fair contract is and learning more about the music business. =0D SINGLE SONG CONTRACTS! Probably the most common type of contract you will encounter at first will be the single song contract. A music publisher offers you this type of contract when he wants to sign one or more of your songs, but he dosen't want to hire you as a staff writer. This type of agreement rarely includes more than two or three songs. You assign your rights to a particular song to the publisher for an agreed-upon number of years. =0D The Songwriter's Guide Of America (SGA) has drawn up A Popular Songwriter's Contrct that it believes to be the best minimum songwriter contract available. If you want to see a sample of the contract The Guild will send you a copy at no charge if you send a self-addressed stamped envelope with your request. Their address is: =0D The Songwriters Guild Of America Suite 317 6430 Sunset Blvd Hollywood, CA 90028 (213) 462-1108 =0D Any publishing contract you sign should have the following terms. =0D 1. WRITERS CREDIT. The publisher should make sure that you receive proper credit on all uses of the composition. =0D 2. WORK FOR HIRE. When you receive a contract covering just one composition you should make sure that the phrases "employment for hire" and "exclusive writer aggreement" are not included. Also, there should be no options for future songs. =0D 3. ARBITRATION. In order to avoid large legal fees in case of a dispute with your publisher, the contract should include an arbitration clause. =0D 4. REVERSION CLAUSE. The contract should also include a provision that the publisher does not secure a release of a commercial sound recording within a specified time (one year two years, etc.) The contract can be terminated by you. =0D 5. PERFORMING RIGHTS AFFILIATION. If you previously signed publishing contracts, you should be affiliated with either ASCAP, BMI or SESAC. All performance royalties must be recieved directly by you from your performing rights organization and this should be written into your song contract. =0D 6. ROYALTY PROVISIONS. Basically, you should receive fifty percent of all publisher's income on all licenses issued. If the publisher prints and sells his own sheet music and folios, your royalty should be ten percent of the wholesale selling price. The royalty should not be stated in the contract as a flat rate. =0D 7. NEGOTIABLE DEDUCTIONS. demos and all other expenses of publications should be paid 100% by the publisher. The only allowable fee is for the Harry Fox Agency collection fee, whereby the writer pays one half of the amount charged to the publisher. Today's rate charged by the Harry Fox Agency is 4.5%. =0D 8. ROYALTY STATEMENT AND AUDIT PROVISION. Once the song is recorded and printed, you are entitled to receive royalty statements at least once every six months. In addition, an audit provision with no time restriction should be included in every contract. =0D 9. CHANGES IN THE COMPOSITION. If the contract includes a provision that the publisher can change the title, lyrics or music, this should be amended so that only with your previous consent can such changes be made. =0D 10. FUTURE USES. Any use not specifically covered by the contract should be retained by the writer to be negotiated as it comes up. =0D INVESTIGATE THE PUBLISHER BEFORE SIGNING. Before you sign a contract with any publisher, you should try to learn as much about him as possible. Some questions the writer should seek answers to are: Does the publisher actively go out and obtain recordings? Has he published any hits? What kind of catalog does he have? What kind of reputation does he have? Is he involved in any lawsuits? Whom else has he published? Signing with a publisher who is unable or unwilling to exploit your song is worse than not signing at all. =0D MECHANICAL RIGHTS. A Mechanical Right is the right of a copyright owner to profit from the mechanical reproduction of his songs. Mechanical reproduction of a song includes use of the copyright in records, tapes, CD, electrical transcriptions and audio tapes for broadcast and background music purposes. The money collected from use of the copyright with regard to these sources is called mechanical royalties. Similar to the agencies which collect performance royalties are those reffered to as mechanical rights organizations. =0D Mechanical rights organizations license record and tape companies on behalf of their affiliated copyright owners to use their copyrights. The mechanical rights organizations collect all royalties earned by their affiliates and after deducting their service charge pay the balance of such earnings to these publishers. The publishers in turn pay the songwriter his share of this income. Mechanical rights organizations also regularly audit record companies books to make sure publishers are paid fairly. =0D Mechanical rights organization also collect synchronization fees if requested by their publisher members. The synchronization fee is used for use of the song (copyright) in time-relation to the motion picture or video tape. =0D Mechanical Rights Organizations are actively involved, along with record companies and music publishers, in finding and prosecuting individuals who engage in the illegal duplication of records and tapes. =0D The oldest and largest of all the mechanical rights organizations in the United States is The Harry Fox Agency 110 East 59th St New York, NY 10022 This agency charges a small percentage of the mechanical royalties music publishers earn for their collection services. The Harry Fox Agency also represent publishers for the use of their compositions in motion pictures synchronization, television, films, and video tapes. They also make sure their publisher affiliates are paid fairly by regularly conducting audits of all record manufactures they collect royalties from. For more information on the services provided by the Harry Fox Agency write them a letter. =0D SONGWRITING ORGANIZATIONS! Here is a list of different organizations for songwriters. Joining or taking part in these type of organizations are great for learning more about songwriting, the business of music, and for teaming up with different writers. =0D NETWORK OF LYRICISTS & SONGWRITERS, INC. P.O. Box 890425 Houston, TX 77289-0425 (713) 264-4330 =0D NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SONGWRITERS. Suite 780 6381 Hollywood Blvd Hollywood, CA 90028 (213) 463-7178 =0D COUNTRY MUSIC SHOWCASE INTERNATIONAL. Box 368 Carlisle, IA 50047 =0D THE LOS ANGELES SONGWRITERS SHOWCASE. Box 93759 Hollywood, CA 90093 (213) 467-7823 =0D SONGWRITERS GUILD OF AMERICA Suite 317 6430 Sunset Blvd Hollywood, CA 90028 (213) 462-1108 =0D WRITING JINGLES! ANOTHER MARKET FOR SONGWRITER'S! A market overlooked by a lot of writer's is the jingle market. The basic skills needed to successfully market your ad jingles are a combination of music writing skillls and a understanding of the medium you will be dealing with. First of all ads cost a lot of money for the client. Because airtime is critical, an ad must work well in order for the client to be satisfied. Usually an ad must generate sales. =0D A client may want to gain name recognition for a service or a person or a product or service from everyone else's similar product or service. Therefore their ad will link that product or service with a desirable image or provide information for prospective customers. It is important that you understand which strategy your client has in mind. Your music must then reflect that strategy both in content and in style. You probably wouldn't use a heavy metal track for a baby food commercial. =0D Second you will need to start thinking = of complete musical songs as either 30 or 60 seconds long. This is the typical length of a commercial and the soundtrack must take that form. = Believe it or not many radio ads are even shorter. The challenge = is to fully develop a song in 30 seconds. It must have a beginning, middle, and finale. =0D I have found it very helpful to practice this short format by taking my own songs and boiling them down to their most basic ingredients. I take out every measure and note which does not add something to the central idea. This has not only helped me learn to learn the jingle format but it also has improved my standard songwriting technique. I strongly urge you to try this out on your own material. =0D Okay so we have honed our writing skills and can produce well crafted songs in the 30 to 60 second format. Now Lets look more closely at the people you are about to become involved with in this business. Like any business there is a technology and a system unique unto the advertising jingle market. Not every agency does business in the same way but in general they all follow a basic pattern. =0D An ad agency is divided into three basic organizations. If the agency is very small they may not actually have people separated by department but must still do the work involved. The organizations are: Sales: People who go out and get clients for the agency: Business Operations: The people who buy air time from TV and Radio, do the day to day bookeping, invoicing, and payroll,etc. and the Creative Department: People who write the copy, draw the pictures, pick or write the music, decide where, when and to whom the ad should be played or shown. =0D When you do business with an ad agency as a songwriter you will deal with both the creative and business organizations. Because of the nature of advertising generally the creative department runs the business. These are the people you want to know and want to deal with. The business department may send you your check but the creative department will be the one to pick your music and make the decision to either use you or not. You must therefore direct all your sales effort to the creative department people creating their own jingles. We have also included in this issue some hot leads of Ad agencies who are looking for jingles and soundtracks. Check them out! =0D THE MUSIC NEWS LINK Congratulations goes out to Scott Watson from Seattle,WA who just got 3 of his songs placed with Logic Publishing ********************************************* Jenny Pickering from Traverse City, MI won best Pop song in the New Talent Songwriting Contest.

The most > interesting effect is probably the FM disk, the other one's seems funny > but are they usable? Opinions please! Well, the general opinion is about 360 degrees from your impressions. The Resonant filter is the big ht, with the FM features on that disk being a novelty. The Audio-In disk is the one I use most, but that would probably not be true for those with a separate effect box. The Transwave disk has gotten alot of really good press, designed for making your EPS more like an analog synth, but I don't have it so can't really comment. The vocoder and the demolition disks could perhaps be catagorized as "funny", but I suspect for those really looking for unique sounds they are great. The bottom line is these disks are produced by the effects master at Ensoniq, and he just follows his instincts off duty and produces the stuff that his bosses think are too weird to produce commercially. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

It can be inconvenient to work with stereo samples. There are a few things to keep in mind which may let you get the job done even if it is inconvenient. For many editing operations, you should turn the stereo link off. But not all. When you need to edit the keyboard range you should turn the stereo link off, and adjust the ranges for both samples separately and giving them the same range. First then turn the link back on. This often require that you know how your instrument is built up - which wave samples are the matching pairs, which layers do thy recide in and so forth. Also when copying wave samples, you should copy the wave samples separately. This applies to 3.53 afaik. Some previous bugs connected to stereo samples have been fixed. I don't remember anything about pitch settings.

I kinda doubt it. As you said, they've been advertising the ASR-10 for awhile, and we haven't even had a major revision on the platform. Remember that Ensoniq likes to keep a consistent product line; hence EPS, EPS-16 and EPS-16+. There'll be an ASR variant for a while to come, I think. -Jj / tree@acm.cs.umn.edu "Dot seeg?!

Opinions please! >Greetings >Kent Hedman, Sweden Dear Kent, I am globally very satisfied with the WaveBoy's very clever, funny, and unique FX. I first bought the resonant filter Disk, then the Voder, Transwaves, and I just received yesterday the Sonic Demolition. Sounds like I buy each new WB product, but really, I think they are worth. I wouldn't that I use them all the time in all productions, but sometimes it's just the kind of "never-heard-elsewhere" type of sound that inspires you and gets you out of the ordinary casual things. I like the Voder very much, because it doesn't sound like any vocoder in the world (in fact it doesn't sound like a vocoder at all, more like a strange mouth filter). It's fully programmable, and good results can be obtained by changing filtering rythmically. The resonant filter is also quite good (Warning! it's a MONO filter!) if you are looking for some analog synth FX, but don't expect changing your sampler into a DX7 with the FM effect! WaveBoy's FM can be OK just for some metallic, ring-mod type sounds or special distortion. Speaking of distortion, the Sonic Demolition Disk is real fun, especially the "Grain" effect, again a very unique & still unheard thing from outter space. All in all, I think that WaveBoy's disks are wonderful toys for users who like to tweak, hack & warp sounds, I wouldn't recommend them for a straight "load & play" use, since results are mostly unpredictable, depending widely on the settings & the sound source (except for the Transwaves, which sound great at once, although they are VERY inspiring samples sources for programming). Sorry for beeing so long, that was just my (enthousiastic) opinion. Greetings.

There's one dedicated ENV for the ResoFilter; (...let's see - that makes _four_, alltogether :-). It's pretty fast, and what I like even more that the scaling gives real-world numbers like micro-seconds. In addition, you get a seperate S&H-generator as new modulator-source for those typical "agigugogagagagigugeg"-effects ;-) >I have the parallallel FX disk and the Voder, but I find them >totally useless (moreso the Voder..). Is the Rez worth the money? I agree on the Voder (never ever worked on my machine...), but the Reso/FM-disk is definitely a _must_ for every 16+/ASR. Worth every penny, I use it all the time. Be aware that it is a "monophonic" filter, i.e., that you can't have the filter open on one note and close it on another simultanously (... your EPS still is polyphonic, of course ... :-) BTW - if you're in more experimental flavours of D'n'B, you should get the Sonic Demolition-disks from WAVeBOY, too. Great stuff, although one of the algorithms doesn't work on some machines (... mine, for example :-P) And there was another company called Prosoniq selling _very_ good FX for the 16+/ASR years ago (... nowadays, they are in heavy Neural Network-programming for SGI's and PPC's 8-) .

This is not true. If a particular Jaz drive CAN be formatted for the ASR, it will format for the entire capacity of the Jaz cartridge. HOWEVER, the most recent releases of the Jaz drive can't be formatted or written to by the ASR. This is due to a change in firmware that IOMega made. IOMega is currently trying to correct the situation, and unfortunately, it is impossible to tell from serial numbers if a drive has this problem. I would have to suggest waiting until this situation is cleared up, or make sure the drive you buy can be returned if it doesn't work with the ASR.

You mean that Prosoniq stopped short in their software piracy activities. All of the Prosoniq audio effects were stolen from Waveboy or Ensoniq. All of them. This really is not questionable, and can be demonstrated through relevant byte comparisons of *every* Prosoniq audio effect file. I've had some recent e-mail conversations with Stefan Sprenger (Mr. Prosoniq), and he does not deny the accusations. He also no longer sells any Prosoniq ASR/EPS effects. (Guess why.) I also know that he would be quite embarrassed if the truth were actually brought forth in a more public forum than this maillist. It's one thing to be a young basement computer hacker modifying text strings and reselling a few copies of other's effects as your own, but it starts getting serious when you go on to become a legitimate company with legitimate products. I wonder how Mr. Sprenger would feel if someone were to copy his SoniqWorx software for the Mac, change a few text strings, remove the legitimate copyright notices, and resell it? I also find it rather strange that a software company like Rubber Chicken would be promoting or endorsing such illegal and unethical behavior as Prosoniq has engaged in. What is it with you, Garth? You should know that Prosoniq was copying Waveboy files after reading through all the files I sent you in 1995. People work hard to create software, and you don't seem to give a damn about the piracy issue. I, for one, find it very hard to have any respect for Rubber Chicken with this sort of attitude. The bottom line is that Prosoniq ripped off Waveboy, violated US and international copyright laws, and should not be endorsed or promoted. It's somewhat academic at this point, since they're not selling their ASR/EPS effects disks, but the truth should be known. Software piracy and unauthorized copying and redistribution of copyrighted computer files is stealing. FWIW, if anyone wants the proof and file comparisons I posted to this maillist in 1995, write me privately and I'll send you the long technical description and other supporting files I put together back then.

No, it can't be true, but rumours can be hard to stop. I think this rumour was originally set out for the Roland Samplers S760/S770. In that perspective the quoted size limitation is interesting. The max ASR size is probably 8 GB ( 512x2^24 ) and limited by how large blocknumbers a 24 bit pointer can acess. The Ensoniq file system is 10 years old. Still, the limiting size by that system was and is 8 GB ( probably ). 10 years ago that size was close to infinity and a 40 MB hard drive would cost me more than the ASR costs now. If the ASR can format the drive, it will format it to the full capacity. Most times thats what you want. You may want to use a 1 GB cart for a master for a CD-ROM. Then you could format it to something less on your Mac. >Any other considerations between the Zip and Jaz ASIDE from the obvious >major difference in storage capacity? From Gary Gieblers comments you clearly have to try the Jaz to see wether it at all will work with the ASR. There is also another consideration which I think is important and that is how well will a drive work with your computer and how well will it work with your computer _and your ASR on the same chain. I wish Ensoniq also could have taken up that issue. It has benefitted the users that they have investigated drive compatability and a vendor has been contacted to get him/them ( Iomega ) to follow AV specs. I feel it could be beneficial if Ensoniq would work on their own SCSI bootup procedure for the ASR. I guess it should be a relatively small job. 15k$ ? Lets all send them 100$ bills and hope they will do it and don't spend the money on expensive champagne at a fancy establishment in Paris.:-) I am very surprised by that so many seems to want huge hard disks to their ASR. Has anyone gone from a smaller to huge ( >=1 GB ) and has any experience they like to share? For hard drives it is of coarse difficult to find new small ones. Why else do you want it?

I'm not sure if I think that is very useful, but I too feel that too much poweer cycling could put strain on the thing. I don't know, but you could make your ASR crash gracefully, then you only have to press the 'yes' button to reboot.:-) I don't know the easiest way to make it crash, but you asked for a three button aproach. If my sequencer is connected to Midi In, I can Press record on the ASR, a black key on the ASR and then I hit the Panic button in the sequencer and I will be asked if I want to Reboot the sampler. So that is hitting 3 keys or buttons which you asked for :-) In my case the Panic button sends out noteoffs for note number 0 to 127 on all 16 channels as fast as it can, It overflows the Midi In buffer. I hope your sequencer does not have that but for home/studio use you could make a crashing sequence yourself if your computer is Midi connected to the ASR.

Hello group, Thanks again to Gary Giebler for the prompt reply on how to set up the EDM;I now have a really slick setup in ms-dos mode in Win95. What I really want is a group of sounds that I lost recently from a car theft. Along with many sounds on disk that I had created myself on the EPS-16 at school, I also had a disk that I think I got from the old EPS archive before it disappeared. I am not sure of the legality of this whole thing, but if anyone knows for sure and has a copy of an EPS-16 disk that contained a number of small sounds including "P600 wahtrans"; "RawPulse"; "Cray"; and several others and could e-mail it to me or tell me where I could locate it, I would be indebted to you. Three of these sounds were part of a piece that I was planning to put on a school concert at the end of next month. One more comment: I recently got the Ensoniq Invision CD of orchestral instruments and am very pleased with just about all of them. The flute sound, however, has an annoying slow vibrato that I can't seem to improve. Is there a flute sound out there that anyone would recommend? I use my TS-12 mostly for playback of scores for acoustic instruments. Thanks and sorry for the long message.

Apparently this could be the true reason why you started calling Rubber Chicken names too, lately - because Garth dared to make statements about some peculiarities of Ensoniq's OS-software. Or is it just that Ensoniq is totally loosing ground - innovation-wise, I mean? However - _your_ credibility isn't better than Sprenger's, from my point of view. You're biased, and even worse: You didn't tell us about this fact. All this makes your "evidences" look pretty weak, all of a sudden. What the heck - all this is pretty meaningless for me as musician. I like Ensoniq-products, Waveboy FX, Prosoniq FX, Rubber Chicken sounds ... you name it.

In terms of the waveboy disks, they're relatively cheap, and anyone that pirates them could probably afford to buy them, and is thus doing something that hurts Waveboy as a company. But with a product like, say, 3d studio MAX, well - the average hobbyist can't afford a $3000 3d program, so for that customer to get a pirated copy means that since he/she would not have purchased it anyway, the company that made the program (in this case, Kinetix) is not hurt economically. What's more, their software is gaining a larger user base than would normally be possible. Who loses in this scenario? No one. The only time, in my mind, pirating is wrong is when you can #1.Afford the given program and #2.The company in question would be financially hurt were you and others like you to pirate instead of purchase the program. I am an adamant defender of the arts, and beleive that the more people creating things with more advanced tools the better. In certain situations piracy can actually enable those that would never dream about getting into 3d animation or autoCAD or desktop publishing or whatever, because of the price, to use those programs and get a chance to create something with them. In other, admittedly more common scenarios, like anyone trying to pirate RC EPS Tools software or Waveboy FX disks, the company that made the product is losing a sale and the customer is being a real cheapskate, as the programs mentioned above are priced fairly so that anyone can afford them (you have to have an EPS/ASR first, which is atleast 3 digits and more likely 4, so . . ). This is just an ideology, process as you see fit. Of course I have never pirated anything in my life and would never, but hold this view nonetheless.

Whose corroborating evidence of Prosoniq's piracy and byte copying do you want? *You* can verify that everything I am claiming is true by using the effects file comparison software which I sent you in private e-mail in 1995. If you lost it or want it again, please ask me for it and I'll send it to you. I went to great lengths (beyond what anyone asked me to do at the time) to make sure that what I posted in 1995 could be verified by third parties if they wanted. I'm sure a few of the old-timers here can attest to that. If you have any concerns or questions or need more information about my proof of Prosoniq piracy, you really should have brought it up in 1995 instead of flaming me now in 1997. In any event, you can post your questions of my proof now, and I will answer *every* question you have about Prosoniq's piracy. I am being completely fair.

Like I said, I call it as I see it. And I saw 99% byte copying of Waveboy's effects code in the Prosoniq effects files. Flame me all you like, or make up completely untrue rationalizations why I post messages, but nothing changes this FACT. It's indisputable - Prosoniq illegally copied Waveboy and Ensoniq effects algorithms. No matter what else you write to this maillist, no matter who I am affiliated with, nothing changes this. If you want to question my methods of byte comparison, go right ahead. If you want to question my byte comparison results go ahead. >What the heck - all this is pretty meaningless for me as musician. Apparently not, since you go off ranting and raving and flaming me when the Prosoniq topic comes up on this maillist! Software piracy of music software, and your personal involvement of paying money to a software pirate should not be meaningless to you. I do admit that it is not meaningless for me. I find Prosoniq's acts to be offensive and disturbing, on top of being illegal. I don't want to see them being admired and lauded for their Ensoniq effects disks. They *deserve* to be criticized (or worse) for what turns out to be cleverly disguised stealing. > What I still can't understand: If you're so _damned_ sure - >why don't you simply sue Stephan M. Sprenger, instead of polluting this >innocent Mailing-List with your rants? First off, Prosoniq hasn't done anything to me for me to sue them. They stole effects code from Waveboy and Ensoniq, who are the injured parties in this case. I am not Waveboy, and I am not Ensoniq Corporation. Secondly, I am not just "_damned_ sure", I am 100% sure. I am drop-dead, unquestionably sure. I am risking a personal lawsuit against myself sure. I am so sure that it isn't funny. I don't make this sort of claim often. Thirdly, Prosoniq is no longer selling EPS/ASR effects disks, and hasn't been for a long time. What purpose would a lawsuit serve? Fourth, suing someone in a foreign country is no small or inexpensive feat. There are certain economic realities of bringing a lawsuit, whether it's a domestic lawsuit or a foreign one. Fifth, I am not "polluting" this maillist. I've only posted 2 messages about Prosoniq in the last 16 months to this maillist, which includes this message and the one yesterday. I firmly believe that what I am writing is on-topic and is in the interest of readers of this maillist. At this point, if people want the current discussion taken into private e-mail, I'll be happy to do so. Sixth, I am showing great restraint in my response. Can you do the same, and stop using the attacking, flaming language? >I proved more than once on this list that I don't tolerate software piracy, >but I can't stand what looks like vile gossip, either. It happens to be true, though. Prosoniq pirated Waveboy and Ensoniq effects code. As I wrote in my last message, if anyone wants the proof and file comparisons I posted to this maillist in 1995, write me privately and I'll send you the long technical description and other supporting files I put together back then. >Hey - you're software-engineer@ensoniq.com: What about some 'Net spirit? If you need customer service from Ensoniq, you can easily get it in a number of ways. Ensoniq has an Automatic Fax Retrieval System at (800) 257-1439 or, outside of the US, at (610) 408-0741. The Ensoniq Customer Service voice line is (610) 647-3930. Musical Instrument Customer Service can also be reached through e-mail on the Internet at music-support@ensoniq.com. Ensoniq has a corporate web page with lots of useful information at http://www.ensoniq.com/ Ensoniq's "How to Contact Us" web page is at http://www.ensoniq.com/contact.htm When I post public messages to the Net, I am "Mike" and only represent myself. I post at night from my ISP account, which I pay for myself. I am not pushing the agenda of any company (despite what you think Dietz), and the messages that I post are of *personal* interest to me. I don't do customer service. I am not interested in doing customer service. I am not interested in dozens of strangers sending me private e-mail and asking for things every time I make a public post. > You >should really share your knowledge on this list instead of all this! What is "all this"? The Prosoniq piracy accusations? I am sharing my factual knowledge on this topic. It is vile, isn't it Dietz?

This sounds like a justification for pirating (aka stealing) to me. Does this also mean that it is ok to break into the GM plant and take a car, while it would be stealing to take one from a smaller company, say Lexus? Is it wrong to steal from a local shopkeeper while it is ok to steal from a large retailer like WallMart? Sure, stealing from one of 'the big guys' has less impact on their finances, but it is still morally wrong to do so.

What's more, With all due respect, and merely to explore the topic further, I have to ask: is it acceptable for the hungry to steal food? Perhaps it is. Is it acceptable for a poor man to steal tools or materials to make art? Maybe so. It's a tough call, and the importance of the moral dilemna should not be minimized. There are two central characteristics of the software piracy issue that make it more difficult and unique than ethical qeustions about theft of hard goods: - - What is the nature of "intellectual property?" We are dealing strictly in marketed ideas and concepts, not goods that were directly, physically crafted. This adds some confusion to the discussion. - - I think sometimes the entire debate rests too much on the idea that we can do whatever we want, just because it is very easy to pirate software. Also, especially if you only steal the software for personal use, you probably won't be caught or prosecuted. If it were so easy to steal food more people would do it, and then justify it after the fact with a lot of talk about who should get what and what is fair. Suddenly everybody decides that what the developer of the software wants (in terms of distribution) doesn't matter; it is the thief who decides what the agreement should actually be. Among other things, this shows disrespect to the owner of the intellectual property, because you will not approach it on her/his terms. If you really really need the software and there's no way you can afford, why not contact the company and open a dialog? If you say, "There's no way *Ensoniq* or *Microsoft* (or whoever) will give me free stuff!" then maybe you should look for smaller companies, shareware houses, etc., that are interested in opening a dialog with you. Maybe you could negotiate, maybe not. But the easy road is to simply copy and use the stuff, making yourself the sole judge of how it effects everybody. - ---------------------------------------------------- David Munger - ---------------------------------------------------- email: dmunger@sun1.iusb.edu irc: MCSquared www: http://sun1.iusb.edu/~dmunger ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Things I've learned (or had forgotten) in the past week: 1. Prosoniq plagiarized some/many/most stuff on the disk they were selling from material developed by Ensoniq/Waveboy. That's bad. Trying to SELL someone else's stuff as your own is reprehensible, be it 40% or 100% stolen. They don't sell it anymore. That's good. 2. Dietz didn't steal the algorithms. Garth didn't steal the algorithms. Both of these individuals are active in developing useful things for we members of the Ensoniq sampler family. They are good. 3. There are not very many individuals developing useful things for we members of the Ensoniq sampler family. This includes Ensoniq. That is bad; these machines have more potential that could be tapped. 4. There are individuals out there who have the skills and the interest to work on some of these products, but Ensoniq has not cooperative in relinquishing proprietary control over material for products it has rendered obsolete. This, to me, seems bad, speaking as: the owner of a now unsupported $2000 TS10 that still has three ROM banks (ROM5,6,7) mysteriously vacant; and both an EPS and EPS16+, neither of which have had an OS update in my son's lifetime. 5. Individuals who are interested in developing something new for our group should be encouraged by our group. This may or may not have included Prosoniq, but it certainly includes Garth and Dietz. I would also hope that it would include Mike in his spare time, although his employer might prefer that he spend his work hours on projects with more commercial potential.

Does > this also mean that it is ok to break into the GM plant and take a car, > while it would be stealing to take one from a smaller company, say > Lexus? You seemed to miss my point completely, but I'll explain it more thoroughly - you say pirating "aka" stealing. Well, the two words exist as seperate entities for a reason. Stealing is physical - in the examples you list above with automobiles, a tangible physical object is being stolen, something that cannot be replaced without paying for the parts that made it up. In essence, cars have an intrinsic value, whereas software, outside of the medium (Cd-ROM, floppy) it may be contained on, does not. That's why the word "pirating" came into use - to describe the "theft" of information or other property not of the physical nature and having little *intrinsic* value. Therefore, your car example is totally inept and seems to be the end product of approximately 15 nanoseconds of hard thought (an over-estimation?). > Is it wrong to steal from a local shopkeeper while it is ok to steal > from > a large retailer like WallMart? again, incorrect analogies > Sure, stealing from one of 'the big > guys' > has less impact on their finances, but it is still morally wrong to do > so. Morals are guidelines created by man to meet certain ends. When those ends make rich companies richer and prevent artists from expressing themselves, when to do so would not affect the income/wellbeing of said companies, can we really say that such "morals" are having a positive effect? Morals are not carved in stone; more and more you might learn that if you keep an open mind to other cultures and do not remain tied to any one view. > Does this also mean that the Chineese should not be prosecuted for > pirating > all the copies of Windows 3.x and Windows 95 they were caught with? As a > programmer and a musician, I want the fruits of my labor protected by > copyright laws. as a musician I would agree your copyrights should hold water, as a programmer it depends upon the price and availability of your software and the function it performs. Incidentally, Bill Gates, in reference to the Windows OS, has said that Microsoft would not be where it is today, with Windows as the dominant operating system on so many PCs, had Windows not been one of the most pirated pieces of software in existence - an example of my theory that the increased user base helps rather than hinders a company. Thanks for picking an example like Windows, that I had an easy comeback to. Many software companied view pirating as a necessary evil to get a certain installed user base, I've read interviews where such things have been said. It's only the smaller independent producers that get hurt. - -Damien Thorn ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I'd be interested in knowing if anyone on the list has experimented with configuring the EPS/ASR effects to perform functions similar to those of real-time looping devices, e.g--the now discontinued Lexicon JamMan, and the now insanely-expensive Oberheim Echoplex. It seems to me that this might be possible through altering the effects algorithms in order to use delays and S&H in unconventional ways. I would have a great deal more respect for my ASR-10 as a real-time instrument if this sort of thing were possible. In one failed attempt, I tried using the Sequencer in LOOP mode to attempt improvising on loops of varying lengths and tempos. I thought I'd be able to add stuff in real-time as the sequenced looped in overdub mode. Instead, the machine kept asking me over and over if I wanted to keep the old or new version. Eerrrnsschh! Anyhow, any thoughts at all on how to use the ASR-10 in real-time, even improvisational ways? I'd appreciate it.

No, you miss my point completely - pirating IS stealing. Software DOES have intrinsic value, and it is protected by laws. As a programmer and a partner in a software development business, I intend to prosecute anyone who steals code or binaries that we have produced. Regarding the comment: > Therefore, your car example is totally > inept and seems to be the end product of approximately 15 > nanoseconds of hard thought (an over-estimation?). 1) have either spent alot of time playing mind-games with yourself to justify the illegal activies (ie - stealing copyrighted software and samples) 2) attack everyone who makes a criticism of your ideas and writing 3) have no desire to get along with people on this mailing list 4) have never looked at copyright law regarding software and have no clue what the software development process entails since you so bitterly proclaim: > Many software companied view pirating as a necessary evil to get a > certain installed user base, I've read interviews where such things have > been said.

The answer is that I am genuinely concerned with software piracy and how it negatively affects and hurts everyone on the EPS maillist. To a lesser degree, it is the nature of Internet maillists to have new subscribers all the time, so while you may have read my Prosoniq piracy posts before (well over a year ago), many others here have not. I knew about Prosoniq's software piracy long before I made any posts about it to this maillist. I would not have posted a single message on this topic if there weren't multiple people on this maillist actively promoting Prosoniq. I am willing to never bring up the topic of Prosoniq's effects disks again in this maillist - but, is everyone else here willing to do the same? If in the future people continue to make uncontested positive Prosoniq effects disk posts, then I may speak up and counter these messages with the facts as I know them. - -- Mike mikeh@op.net ENSONIQ Resources on the Internet: http://www.op.net/~mikeh/ http://www.op.net/~mikeh/ensoniq.html ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I remember when we got on a real roll for hints and tips on this list and it was excellent. I didn't keep a list of stuff though. Anyway, I have a question/tip and it is this: Has anyone had any success programming samples with transwaves? The only stuff I've done with modulation of the sample points is to take a TB303 type sample (starting filters open and ending filters closed) and then modulate the sample start point using velocity. That way, when you hit a key hard it gives the illusion of opening up resonant filters on your sampler. If you pick the wave well, this technique can be very effective. Please come back with some transwave info someone.

From this experience I can say that CDR4 seems to be really great (good sources, careful recording & creative programming), and I'm considering buying it (good boy, no piracy...). On the other hand, I bought InVision's CDR8 (Orchestral) a few months ago, and I must confess that (to my humble opinion) it's quite disappointing (I transferred only... THREE sounds onto my regular hard disk for quick access). Overall it doesn't sound really bad, but frankly most of the classical sounds it contains can be found elsewhere with better quality; there are only 58 sounds on CDR8 (they cared to program direct macro access, though). As for the RCS disks, they are incredible value if you consider their low price & the huge amount of instruments stored on them! Quality is a little bit inconsistent, since sounds come from various musicians/developers like you & me. I've got both CD 1 & 2 (some of my sounds are on CD#1, mostly gathered with B.Carson's "Renaissance-Medieval" library, or dispersed here & there, some other are filed under "The French Collection" on CD#2. So you'll have to spend some time to grab, sort & maybe tailor the sounds that might be suitable for your needs. RCS used to distribute K.Thomas's wonderful library, but you won't find it on the CDs, same for the GREAT Dietmar Tinhof's ASL library (I hope your cheeks are getting red, Dietz!): CD#2 contains some sounds by Dietz, but mostly short sound effects.

Um, Yeah, Back to the subject... I've been playing around alot lately with modulating a speech snippet with the transwave and loopstart settings. The catch is, when you bounce those start points and loop pints all over the place, the "click" normally associated with a bad loop becomes unavoidable. Even with "autoloopfind" on, it doesn't get much better. I've seen an old Prophet 2000 do a much better job of modulating the start point. The hacked solution I've come up with is to swing the ENV3 back a notch, so the first instant of the sound is muted, then lean the sequence forward to compensate. But that ain't no cure for modulated loop points. They just buzz, and buzz and buzz...

But that ain't no cure for modulated loop points. They I have used a similar trick to get rid of pops when modulating sample- start. But I used the filter env instead, with shortest possible time opening the filter from 0 - 127, this works pretty good, and should preserve a little more of the actual begginning of the sound. Another Idea might be to set the ENV3 to be totally silent for, let's say 1/64th note, and adjusting all notes on the sequencer, shifting them the same amount 'left'... (if you imagine playing to the right :-) This will at least give you a sharp start. But I think the filter- version works pretty good. /Mattias ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I do not promote Prosoniq, but I do support new original copyrighted effects files. I condemn any sales, copying of code, and/or copyright infringements that Prosoniq participated in. Enough said. Secondly, I didn't respond to Mike's post sooner because I have been doing some extended research on the matter. I would agree with Mike and ask that we stop the copyright posts, mainly because it has been discussed in length many times before. But there is more to talk about besides copyrights. Although we are still in the middle of the research to back it up, I do not agree with Mike's statement that "All Prosoniq audio effects were stolen from either WaveBoy or Ensoniq". Some were, but not all of them. We believe that there are up to 22 Prosoniq effects that are purely original code. I expect to conclude the research at the end of the week, and I have made a decision not to post it on this list, but to post it on the RCS web site. I will post the list to inform when the results are available. Mike was very correct in his findings from a year ago, but I do not believe he tested all the Prosoniq algorithms. My motivation behind this is only - I repeat only - to perhaps make some products legally avaialble to the general public - LEGALLY, and to the agreement of everyone - Ensoniq, Waveboy, Steven Sprenger, you, me, even Mike. I welcome Mike to rebutt any findings, if he wants to, but let's talk about the evidence for code copying for the moment and put on hold the ethical arguments. P.S. Mike, how many Prosoniq effects have you looked at? We have 55 of them.

I beg you to please send me a private message if you are interested in replying. After reading some forward looking ideas by Damien, I have to agree to a certain extent with him. Don't get me wrong, I'm not endorsing piracy in anyway, but if Microsoft had really cared about the problem they would have lobbied so hard in Congress that the Marines (with Bill Gates carrying an assault rifle) would be in Beijing right now. It makes a lot of sense, and it is a practice Microsoft does by itself anyway, just look at Explorer 3.0 (it was free so you would not be called a pirate). Explorer is intellectual property, I guess it has a value (at least in development and man hours-salaries) but still, you are not paying a damn dime from the copy your neighbor Bob gave you. And remember that because of these practices Microsoft has become far and away the most successful company in the industry. "Installed User Base", key word here; why do you think they don't sell whole products, but upgrades? Because of that "Installed User Base". Half the price! twice the product!! (triple the profits). Some food for thought: have you people ever photocopied a book? It is not unlike software pirating; get the original, reproduce it, get all its benefits. Don't tell me that you have to buy the Encyclopedia Britannica because of every time you have had to get a photocopy or two from your school's original. There is a lot of gray area in the area of copyright and printed materials, and consider that printed books are more than 200 years old. In fact, publishers are generally not disturbed by these activities as long as someone is not selling bootleg copies. Now, if you interpolate books and software, you'll get the point. The thing is not making a profit. This is most definitely an offense and an aggression towards the maker of the product. Unfortunately, only Microsoft and Id Software (the makers of DOOM) know this. BTW: They have a lot more money than Kinetix and its $3000 monster. These people definitely don't know what economies of scale are. Tip: Microsoft does, and anyway it has managed to sell millions of relatively cheap programs that nobody really needs because it leads everyone to believe that they are necessary. Just a minor observation. Dosvidanya v.0.99 ZMA ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I don't know what do you mean by "right now", but if you could share any hints on how you do it, I'd greatly appreciate that. In general, I'm very intereted in modifying a timbre beyond the usual pitch/amp/filter modulation. E.g., something that goes like "aaaaakhhhhrrrrrrrzumpzumpzump", preferably controllable in real-time :-) Is Transwaves the keyword? B.t.w., Yamaha TG77 features so-called RCM (Realtime Convolution and Modulation), where a sampled sound acts as an FM modulator. I achieved some pretty wild sounds with it. However, TG77's sample ROM is very limited, and I think integrating RCM with a sampler has a great potential. Also, the term "realtime" suggests that Audio-In could be used as a modulator... I once even dreamed of equipping my TG77 with an A-D converter (which would make it quite a unique item :-), but that's probably very hard, if at all possible. Maybe my dream will come true as an add-on to ASR-10?

Typically what you have to do is select a specific wave that you want to work with, then alter the parameter. My recommendation: go out and find a classic EPS-they are selling pretty cheap, and are MUCH preferable to doing the TS route. A cheaper alternative might be a program that Garth is working on; I think that it will allow you to do EPS-type edits directly on the samples on your PC, which you can then save and use happily on the TS without any of the "load sample edits" grief.

I can extract all of the files from the originals, and can copy the instrument files to an EPS formatted disk, but when I try to copy the sequences it seems to get confused about the number of blocks in the sequence file. The number of blocks it thinks the sequence will take is so large (over 10000!) that there could never be enough space on a floppy to store it. Is this a known bug in EPSDisk? I have been meaning to test out a regular EPS 16+ sequence and see if it is specific to the ARS-10 sequences. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

It's been working beautifully, however I am a little confused with the concept of an audio track and an audio sample. I know you can record up to 2 different audio tracks (each containing numerous audio samples kicked off in various places), but say I recorded 4 audio samples using audio track 1 in a song (like a verse, a chorus, a verse , a chorus), then decided I wanted to delete the 2nd audio sample (the first chorus) because it didn't sound right. When I use the "Delete Audiotrack" command, will it erase every audio sample within that audio track or just the 2nd one that is messed up that I want to record over?

It seems to have moved to: http://www.paris.ensoniq.com/ but I can't get into it. In any event I have only one comment: bugger I've been squeaking by on my EPS Classic, now it's outputs have gone dead (if you listen closely, playing clusters makes more background noise than playing one note. As for the sample, it doesn't sound at all... I guess that makes the "background noise" "foreground noise" since that's the only noise the 'board makes!) I've been holding off on getting anything new/used to see what next great thing ENSONIQ puts out in the sampler line and...nothin'. In fact, *less* than nothin'. PARIS sound's great, but I'm quite happy with my PowerBook and if I'm gonna buy a desktop computer just so I can stick a card in it, I'll buy a PowerMac and a Kyma system... So what should I do? I love the sound of the new Emu boxes (great filters), but they can't touch the EPS/ASR for real-time modulation & sound manipulation. Any guesses as to whether the ASR is the end-of-the-line? Should I get a used one *now* before they attain "vintage" status? :) /----Charles D.

I own Chicken CD-ROM #1 and am very happy with it. To be sure, on a volume with such a wide spectrum of sounds, not every one is going to be a must-use-it-somewhere kind of winner, but a surprising percentage of them are. Most of these sounds are not of the jaw-dropper variety, which, it could be argued, occupy a different and more disposeable niche. A good value, which will broaden your sonic palette with musically useful sounds (and some really great patch-select programming.)

Then make a copy parameter of it on to another layer. spread each layer out in the stereo field, hard right and left. Now start moving the sample start of the original or copied sample (but not both) up in good size increments. As you move it through you'll find excellent sample starts that add incredibly cool demension to your loop. If you do this on three or for layers you can use the patch selects to move through them changing the psuedo characteristics and rhythm of the sample. YOWWWWWZZZZAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! This the kind of stuff you end up doing when you've used the same stinking sampler since 1989:) Saul Stokes **************************** Just wanted to add a note to this one: Since your effectively changing your signal phase with this, there is one problem: Don't use it on full drum loops: high-volume bass frequencies with different stereo phases will cause all sorts of interference on club PAs (yes, I've tried it). And, speaking of techno tracks, stereo bass parts can't be put onto normal vinyl records, since this will damage the cutting machine/needle. If I want some more "dimension" in my drum loops, I put a 4-pole low-pass filtered version on layer one, an put two stereo panned high-pass versions on layers 2 & 3. On these, you either change the sample start, or increase the layer delay time, or (for a chorus-type effect) apply some LFO modulation to the pitch (vibrato). John Bodenstein **************************** Don't know how new or novel this little trick is. Start with a sampled phrase (I use it mainly on spoken dialogue but would work on anything that changes radically over time). Sequence sixteenth-notes quantized for maximum *machine* effect. Set mod wheel to sample start. Play sequence while manipulating mod wheel to control stuttering effect Record mod wheel on seperate track while experimenting to see which moves produce the coolest fx. Hours of fun (if you're easily entertained. Michael Talley **************************** For most buzz-and-pop-free operation of wave modulation, try this: For PC owners: Generate a sample with 43.06640625 cps at 44100 sr, and youll get a loop length of exactly 1024 samples. Can be done in Goldwave. Sample length should be about 4 seconds. You can then tweak it to your taste. Ex: Generate sawtooth. Add a logarithmic envelope. Make a byte swap (CoolEdit does this). You get a sawtooth sync sweep. Scaling this to 100000% makes it a square sync sweep. Appropriate filtering in the EPS makes it sound nearly like a filter sweep with mucho rezz. You can lower rez by thinning out the wave: Generate square (43.06640625 cps) Dc shift so it covers only the upper half of the wave display. Goldwave does this better in this case. Paste special (mix) to the wave generated above. Dc shift so the pulsed part of the wave is in the middle of the display. Scale to 200 (or more)%. The more the square gets a pulse wave, the less rez you get. Params on EPS: sample start 130048 loop start 130048 loop end 131072 wave|mod: both, wheel, -99, range 128k If you want cutoff scaling, make 30 copies, everyone covering 2 keys. Then play around with sample start and loop position to get _your_ scaling.When there is some space between sample start and loop pos, you get a filter envelope like thing. For EPS onlys: Use samples with much overtones or overdrive the sampler input. Get hold of the exact loop length of your sample,so the tuning with and without loop is the same. Set the filter params so the filter cuts out the noize in the overtoneless part of the wave. Try getting the optimum loop pos with auto loop finding off. Another thing: time stretching !(uhhhh--buzzy!) Sample the sentence (or whatever...) you want to stretch. Make a loop .02 to .1 seconds long. Params: sample start 0 loop start 0 loop end 500~10000 ,depending on sample rate and the effect you want. wave|mod: loop, env 1 or 2, +99, range greater than sample end. env|hard levels 00 99 99 99 99 env|time 1 50~99, depending on sample length and effect. If you set attack time vel, you can control the stretching with velocity. Overdriving the audio in and slight filtering gives the right techno touch. Phhhhhh.. all for now, Gunter c/o Clake **************************** Talking of tricks, here's a very simple one that I use to fatten up sounds: having got the sample tidied up, create a second layer, copy the wave parameters to layer two and then pan each layer equally in opposite directions. Having got the pan sounding okay, detune both of the layers in oppostie directions with fine tune (only with a value of about 4 or 5) and you should find that the sound has more depth and a more spacial feel. Or you may just draw the conclusion that this is a crap tip! Joe Frost **************************** This is good and works great too if you push the sample start of one sample a little ahead of the other, the Haas effect I think it's called. Here is the ultimate tip that I have always had really good results with. I'm really not sure whether or not 16+'s and ASR's have a synthesize loop feature or not. If you have an good ole' EPS you can do some amazing things with this feature. Take a drum sound for example. YOU loop without worrying about pulling the start and ends tight (Leave it in "delay" like form. Then synthesize the loop. You will be amazed at the weird reverb like trails you can get from this. The fact of the matter is that synthesize loop works best on real crappy loops and doesn't work well on good loops. Often the first thing I do when I want to make any type sound is after I've got the sample, I loop it and synthesize it. If it doesn't sound good play around with the loop positions but don't try and make a nice loop prior. When I'm finished with this I often do what is written above. Real cool results Saul Stokes **************************** Another one to try if you're lucky enough to have access to a vocoder is to feed some kind of riff into one side of the vocoder and, with your mic plugged into the other, drum on the mic like a bongo (who is this idiot I here you say). Okay, so it's probably best not to do it with your best vocal mic but you can get some interesting effects to sample as rythm loops etc. Oh! I just thought of another tip that I was really pleased with when I found it: it's possible to make a resonant filter type effect using the wah effect on the EPS16+. You just have to play about with it and set the filter cutoff to be modulated by the mod wheel. I know this sounds a bit vague so I promise that as soon as I get round to it, I'll post a message with the parameters that I used. Joe Frost **************************** This seems kind of silly, but I enjoyed playing with it so here goes. You will need a radio with an analog tuning knob and some way of getting the output to your sampler. I used an RCA to 1/4" cable. It may take a little practice to do this, but you want to start sampling while you pan up and down the radio frequency range. Once you have a good sample (it should be a bunch of hiss with a few stations coming in and out throughout the sample). You then need to set a short loop in the sample and set the loop point to be mod'ed by the control wheel. When you move the wheel, it will appear that you are panning through the radio range as well. Again, this seems silly, but it can be used as a decent intro/extro to a song.

One way to think is: how much more utility will I get out of my instrument if the SCSI is installed? Won't it be great to have banks load in seconds instead of minutes and with swapping disks in and out? And no worry about sample sizes...? I'd definitely get the SCSI. I agree that the SCSI port costs a lot. At the time that I was looking, I found the cheapest vendor was Sound Logic (who I don't recommend since I ordered it from them and called them a few times checking on my order to no avail). Perhaps everyone sells the ports for the same price, I don't know. For the installation, I picked a place that cost a lot but they were a professional outfit so I knew if anything went wrong with the new port (and something did) I could take it back and tell them to fix it with no hassles. That's the way it happened and I feel the whole affair was money well spent. >will it EVER go down? Yeah, as soon as their next sampler series comes out in 2019 AD.

Here's a cool way to use transwave. First, synthesise with a soft synth (like CSound) about 128 different cycles of harmonic synthesis, 1024 samples long each, that you put back on back to make only a wavesample of 131072 samples. Then, set your loop from hte 63th to the 64th cycle and turn on transwave. Modulate the transwave startpoint with a really slow LFO, and set the LFO delay to 99. Enjoy. As you ear, the spectre is mutating as the transwave is going back and forth from the initial cycle to the others. You won't ear any click because your cycles are perfectly syntesised. Just don't forget to retune the wavesample, depanding of the rate of your sample... I use 128 random generated harmonic cycles with this method, and process it trought delay, and I can listen it for hours! Is someone have another creative way to use it? Pierre Alexandre Tremblay Human, and other habilities ps I just remember: with the same wavesample, I set the transwave modulator to noise, and the noise rate to 0.

Local Off disables the keyboard from playing internal sounds; they are only play by MIDI. This scenario is ideal in conputer sequencing setups, because the computer echos the data from the keyboard of the TS-12 back into the TS-12. If the local keyboard also played the sound, you would get a strange flanging or doubling effect on each note. Try turning "Local Off" off, and see if that fixes it.

LFO.,mutating..cycle...harmonic..random ..instable synth >I can listen to it for hours! > >Is someone have another creative way to use it? Yep,- use of the same thing, but in another creative way.. Here is how I bring the cows back home in the evenings after eating clover in the meadows. First you must know that the cows listen to rock n roll music at home in the stable; That increase their milk production. When the evening arrives I strap my EPS onto a 4 wheeler together with a PA and a power generator and drives out to the cows. Then I start playing stuff on my EPS, very similar to what Pierre Alexandre describes. Soon I'll have the meadows for myself, and the cows are home. I have also tried the opposite - more traditional -approach: Playing at home to bring the cows towards the sound. It did not work so well, but was fun. I'll describe very briefly the approch to make these "cow-calls". The transwaves raw material is calculated. I use SMP. I made 21 different transwave instruments I uploaded to old oak archive and the two which utilises the current techniques where named something like "kulokk 1" and - - 2. ( which translates cow-call 1&2 ) It has a gradual evolution of strong "resonances" of the harmonics ( the overtones ). You hear this kind of effect when you put a harmonically rich signal through a bandpassfilter whose center frequency is swept. You can of coarse get much more complex evolutions by calculatins with additive synthesis than what you can with a simple filter. When you modulate the transwave loop index by the modulation wheel, you can play melodies with the modulation wheel after hitting a key. The results are drones with melodies on top with a very etnic flavour. The cow calls traditionaly used for the local cows around here, and which I have heard beeing sung, do consist of natural harmonic notes, They were also played on instruments which could only change pitch between the natural harmonics of a singular pitch. On the sampler you can of coarse put in other pitches occasionaly. There is a danger that a description could sound more interesting than the music, so I'll stop there.

Nope - it only syncs to an ASR-10 clock running the DiskTracks. It does not generate a clock of it's own. (I'm just kidding.)

Initially, I didn't respond to this post because I can't answer the question about EPSDisk getting confused about the number of blocks. However, I can answer Garth's question about the ASR sequencer format. The ASR sequence format is very different from the EPS format. It would not be wise to change the file type byte in an ASR sequence file and try to load it into the EPS. The ASR sequence has a different header structure and even the track data is different. Attempting to fool the EPS into loading an ASR sequence would most likely have unpredictable but corrupting results. > If the format has changed (which I think it has to accomodate audio > tracks), then Gieblers Sequence convertors can do the job for you. You'd > need two of them ASRSMF to change them to SMF, and EPSSMF to change the > SMF to EPS format. This is one of two ways to accomplish this. The other way is to connect the two keyboards together via MIDI, and record the tracks into the EPS (one at a time) from the ASR. NOTE: The ASR can load EPS sequences and convert them to ASR format. However, the reverse is not true. The EPS doesn't recognize ASR sequences since the ASR didn't even exist when the EPS was designed.

The reason the TS only plays when he has Cakewalk turned on is that his TS is undoubtably set to external or MIDI or whatever they call it. This is the correct mode to use when using an external sequencer, because it will then get the keystrokes and route them to the correct port and channel depending on what you are trying to accomplish on the sequencer. Turn off the sequencer, and suddenly all of the keystrokes are going into the bit bucket (unless the computer MIDI card is set to Thru by default, and the computer is turned on). For use without the computer, he needs to switch the TS to Local mode. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

However, I think you can do a hell of a lot with *only* 16MB (or with a 16+ or with an EPS).

The additional RAM would also be useful for additional sequencer memory, but that's another aspect of the ASR line that needs improving (especially the timing). I think more polyphony, better on-board clock resolution and timing, way better SCSI file/directory management, and 16 channels of MIDI (dammit!) are reasonable expectations.

I don't need RAM for cellos and fat orchestral sounds, I need it for all the other stuff that can't be looped or toyed with (i.e. tracks from other machines (audio tracks) that can't be sectionned..) Also, it's true that 16 Megs is plenty and you have tolearn to deal with it (and I have), it's just that when you have a patch change that requires you empty all memory because of its size and you are using the sounds currently in that 16 M memory, your srewdleedewed. I've workred with colleegues who also have ASR's so I've been able to pile them up in order to synchronize pchanges on different machines, but it's a crappy way to conceive it.

The good people at Ensoniq who design and put features in Synths/samplers hear what's needed from customers who call, Sales Reps (this is a MAJOR source), and employees working there who use the stuff. What makes them put things in or leave things out? Simple- The Green stuff. All we can do is make our voice heard- Write to the "Trans. Hacker" (use their web site) and bend the ear of the sales rep in your area with your wish list- Ensoniq WILL hear you (and we may all benefit from your action). I've put in my $.02 with Ensoniq (using the teqniques just described)-- so I can talk. Maybee other listmembers would like to create a WISH LIST (within reason OK?) of features for the next Ensoniq Sampler- (if there should be such a beast)- and send the list to Ensoniq or publish it in the Hacker (I dunno....).

I presume they mean OEX-8 and >its the same as the one fro the Classic ......am I right? Sorry, no: They differ both feature- as well as connection-wise. The Classic EPS' OEX-8 offers 8 additional mono-output, which makes 10(!) outputs altogether. The OEX-6 for the 16+ gives you three additional stereo-outputs (that makes 8 mono). Allthough this may look like a big disadvantage, it is a useful way to cope with the internal FX-bus-structure. The OEX-8 was supplied with a very short, very weak connector-cable, while the construction for the OEX-6 seemed to be more robust and allowed the expansion-box to sit near your mixer-inputs. The OEX-8 is very noisy, the 16+ much better, generally spoken. The rack-version of both EPS-version were supplied with the additional outputs as basic feature, BTW. I don't know about the ASR, sorry. Hope this helps!

This is only true when the sample is at 44.1KHz, but not at 29.9. Thus, although my open and closed hi-hats, my splash, my snares & toms are always sampled at 44.1, my ride cymbals are always a slightly - -less-lustrous 29.9KHz so that they can >bing< along smoothly.

[flippling manual-pages....] Yep, I seem to be right: "Edit Layer/Layer Restrike [8]: This parameter sets the amount of decay voices within the selected layer will have after they have been restruck. The higher the value, the longer the decay time." (I think they meant Release, actually, not Decay, but what the heck). It helps in most cases, but will be useless for extreme release-times, or when the maximum polyphony is exceeded. This is not available on the EPS Classic, BTW. Or didn't I catch the question ...?

Michael, I overcome this by assigning the same wavesample to more than one key at the same pitch, or copy the wavesample (param only) and assign this new sample to another key. This works fine for drums, cymbals, loops etc... but dosen't help much when it is something like a piano performance. Hope this helps.

As Nicolas Boucher said it, 16 Mg is ok if you use instrument simulation samples in a standard musical context, but as soon as you work in more complex domains, you need equipment that is more flexible. The ARS was fine when I bouth it, I had 16 Mg's and it was more than I could ever dream of in my life. But the more you explore andexpand your musical ideas you have to find ways to make the machine do what you want to hear. With domestic products that are as user friendly as the ASR, it's easy to work with, but you soon have to bypass the compagny's original design in order to get an adequate functionning tool. There are more and more software tools that come out witch do not have the hardware preset limitations. The problem that they have rigth now is that the physical interface (keyboard and other types of human body adaptable controlers) are not adequate enough for proper performance usage or comfortable compositionnal work. BUT IT WONT BE LONG. At the rate software develops, physical hardware syths and sampler's can easily become obsolete. Just think of the developpement of Csound and Super collider not to mention SoundEdit16 deck II and sound designer. And I'm not even mentionning professionnal sound designing tools. This is probably the last sampler I'm going to buy in my life, because, by the time I will be done contouring the standard preset editing and performance abilities of this unit, and be in the market for sometihg new, the software material will have become sufficiently functionnal. What these synth compagnies need to do now is to find a way to incorporate themselves with the growing software demand in order to still have a reson to exist in the future (that is near future). Therefore, at this point designing a machine similar to the ones we have ,with as little modification as an effect here, a little more ram there and a fan to to it off is sadly useless and not wothwhile (I have trouble finding the rigth terms in English) This is my onest opinion about it. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Further I will ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO ASKS ME, NOT TO BUY PASSPORT PRODUCTS. Now for the only good news: apparently Peak supports Ensoniq samplers better than Alchemy ever did. You can get an "upgrade" from Alchemy for $299 if I remember correctly. The web page for Bias Software (makers of Peak) is at http://www.bias-inc.com. Good luck!

I must agree with James's characterization here- as I have also had a similar conversation with Passport- Actually they told me they did'nt have an ASR/or EPS16+ AT ALL (only an Akai, EMU and k2000)- so they don't troubleshoot the Ensoniqs. As for BIAS's peak (while written by an Ensoniq friendly Guy), I have'nt seen a version of that program that does'nt crash. (Alchemy likes to Freeze ). but.. the gold medal of poor support/implementation has to go to the world of Config.Sys-- (PC's!!)-and that incredibly poor program- SAMPLEVISION by Turtle Beach Software [they are the WORST]. Can someone tell us why Soundforge has no SCSI support? P.S. I am hopeful that BIAS will work out their problems as their program is generally Cool. wow- that was really gloomy..... - ----------------^------------------------------------------------------ /|\ Uncle Viceroy | ------|------ Remember...

Hi, My name is Charlie Barnes and I'm new to the list. I've had an ASR for some time and will be investing in some much needed accessories soon and I have a few questions for those of you in the know: 1. I'm going to add the SCSI port to my ASR and I'm uncertain as to how I can configure my PC to work with ASR via SCSI (if this is at all possible). I'd own a Mac right now if I had the $$, so all PC haters...no need to set me straight on the luxuries of the Mac platform. I have a PCI SCSI card for my PC and am running WIN '95. What I'd like to know is this: Can I save ASR sounds to my IDE hard drive or to a SCSI drive connected to my PC or do I have to use a dedicated drive with the ASR? Also, can I partition a SCSI drive and use one of the partitions to store ASR samples? I need someone to set me straight on SCSI, my PC and the ASR. 2. Can anyone recommed a PC based sound editor that I can use that will allow me to produce files that can be used by my ASR. 3. Has anyone used the Rubber Chicken WIN '95 ASR helper software that allows you to control ASR parameters from a WIN '95 interface? I read about the software at their website but could not download a demo (my browser could not locate the URL).

It may be a bit off topic you say, but the reason why I'm writing to this list is because I've found yet another program developed by the same guys.

"ReCycle 1.6" >- "an audio processing tool for drum loops and grooves." There was a very extensive review in the german "KEYS" magazine about Recycle. It chops up loops and creates individual hits plus a MIDI-file with the exact same groove. That groove can be used at any tempo then. The hits are mapped to certain keys of a sampler. It is said to work very well and it does something even better: a track fro a sampling CD can be automagically cut up into individual sounds, can be mapped to notes and sent to the Sampler of Choice... It is made (or at least distributed) by Steinberg and costs around 500 DM if I remember correctly. BTW: that 303 thing is pretty cool. A friend pointed me to it. unfortunately the alpha version available for download only runs for 30 minutes and can't save. Except for the built in effects (there is a delay and a distortion) the sounds are very good. The distortion sounds too much like a circular saw, the delay line has a lousy range and the way the dial works doesn't help it either. the developers should implement MIDI-controllers for all three instruments so that the sequencer (or a controller box like the PC-1600) could change the filter cutoff etc. Sorry about this off topic thing.

Half year ago I upgraded to 10 MB without problems. Now I installed more RAMs to reach the 16 MB (suitable RAMs, of course). It works very well, but I have the following problem since then: After half hour from turning on the ASR, one segment of EVERY characters of the LCD display disappears (and remains off even if I restart), and after some time appears again and remains on for a while. And starting over. (But everything is working well.) I try to explain better - here is one character of the LCD: _ _ |\|/| - - |/|\| _ _ And the one segment is the top right "/", so it disappears like this from *every* character: _ _ |\| | - - |/|\| _ _ I opened the ASR, pulled out the new pair of RAMs and turned on (I thought that it is because of the new RAMs). Nothing has changed. - -> Have you experienced similar things? Can it be some distortion of the wires to the LCD, because of the extreme HEAT? Or what?

Logic Audio, but the Mac's internal DSP is definetely not designed for professionnal use (I mean, at least good sounding), plus the audio connections (stereo mini-jacks!) are really too weak (low level, hums & buzzes). I use audiotracks (similar to what you can get with Cubase VST, I think) ONLY for cueing (cheap & handy), and leave the real sound work to a Yamaha CBX-D5 (beautiful sound & integrated EQ&FX) hooked to the SCSI port (no nubus or PCI card needed).

Here's my guess on your resampling problem (same thing happened to me on the ASR-10). When you resample a sound through the MAIN OUTS, the new sound defaults to BOOST: ON and OUTPUT: BUS 3 on the EDIT AMP page. SInce BUS: 3 is uneffected on many of the effects, maybe this is why you're not getting any more sexy effects onto your sound. Easy to fix - change the output to Bus 1 or 2, or (even easier) route the whole instrument through Bus 1 or 2 on the EFFECTS BUS in the bank Effect. Of course, none of this may apply to the EPS, in which case, disregard!!!

I've decided to leave mail here to see if anyone can offer assistance. I have had nothing but bad luck connecting any SCSI device to my ASR aside from my Zip drive. The one constant that seemed present, though, was that I was using the same case for any other device I connected, be it a hard disk, a CD ROM, etc. So -- when my brand new Toshiba 2x SCSI CD ROM arrived today, and I connected it to the SCSI chain, terminators and all, and the ASR *again* failed to see ANY SCSI devices, I decided perhaps the case was to blame. (Upon disconnecting the drive, it immediately booted off of the Zip and worked great) - SO, thinking perhaps this would be a good chance to hook the drive up to my PC and make sure the drive mech itself worked, I put it in the PC and had a brilliant idea -- Why not connect the ASR to the Zip, then chain the Zip to the PC, and have access to all SCSI devices within? SO -- here's what I have : SCSI ID Device - ------- ----------------------- 0 Conner 4gb HD 1 Iomega Jaz (internal) 4 Flatbed Scanner(not connected for this experiment) 5 Toshiba 2x CD ROM (brand new) 6 Iomega Jaz 7 Adaptec 2940 PCI SCSI controller. Now, I assume, from reading my manual, that SCSI ID 3 is used by the SCSI controller in the ASR-10 -- why? Because it says "Configure your SCSI device to any SCSI ID, 0-7, *except 3*" Now, assuming this is the case, in theory, as long as my computer is powered on, the ASR should see the SCSI devices in the PC, relying on the termination at the end of the chain (the Conner HD) for termination on one end, and the ASR-10 on the other. Here's what happens -- If I boot the systems both simultaneously, sometimes the system polls the devices - it boots from the Zip (the ASR) and tunes the keyboard, then waits for input. In the mean time, the SCSI controller dies either after polling the SCSI bus (it does NOT identify the ASR as a device) or, it identifies everything (except the ASR) then gives a "device error - disk is not bootable" and sits there. Now, when I attempt to format the Jaz (SCSI ID 1) by booting to a floppy and using the ASR's SCSI format command - WHAM - Error 129 - Reboot? It is my understanding that many users are happily using their ASR as a SCSI device alongside their PC's and the respective internal SCSI devices of those PCs while both machines are operating -- What am I doing wrong? Can anyone give any insight into this puzzling situation? Thank you.

I realize I'm not a programmer, but this is really greek to me. I've been able to do some stuff with sysex with other manufacturers documentation, but I'm having a hard time understanding it. Here's what I'd like to do. I'd like to be able to set up faders in my sequencer (Digital Performer) that would allow me to change the volume setting of certain notes. For example, my d4 is set up with the Kick drum on one output, the Snare on another, and EVERYTHING ELSE coming out the stereo pair. It would be so much easier if I could control the relative volumes of afformentioned EVERYTHING ELSE via sysex, but it's far too hard to understand from your documentation. Could anyone give me an example sysex string in hexidecimal that would change the volume of say note 12? And indicate which byte is the paramter and which is the value? If this information was a little more clear, I could hopefully do wonderful things with my D4.

You could use the 'append sequence' function under command sequence I believe it is. If the drum loop is only 2 bars, you could append the sequence unto itself (append sequence 1 to sequence 1) and it become 4 bars. You do it once more and it becomes 8 bars. Now, if you wanted to have many variations of this new 8thbar sequence to copy throughout the song, just *copy* the sequence X amount of times. I used to get a nice 6 minute house track at about 122BMP with 22 8-bar sequences. But those were the olden days. *deep grin* I have since moved on to Logic, a REAL sequencer. *get with it ensoniq* I bet there's a sophisticated network of rubberbands underneath the hood of the ASR functioning as the sequencer.

That kind of effect was achieved with tape delay, the delay time varying according the tape speed and the distance between the recording & playback heads. Lots of specialized device were built, including the CopyCat you mention, Echoplex & many others, but the studios used very often 3 heads tape recorders with varyspeed (a Revox in many cases); the amount of distortion, filtering or "grain" (call it as you like) was mainly set by the age of the tape which was used & used again for that only purpose. You can find such a tape machine nowadays for about $600. But you can also simulate this by inserting various things (filter, distortion, preamp, vacuum cleaner...) between the output & the input of a simple modern digital delay and set the feedback from here instead of from the delay's internal controls.

I've got such an effect out of a 20 year old Sony reel-to-reel which allows the tape loops that Brian Eno and others liked so much (what was that guy's name in King Crimson?). I can even get a type of flange if I set the tape speed to high and vary the tape speed by holding my finger on one of the reels to control the speed. I would wager you can do the same thing with a 3 head cassette deck by disconnecting the erase head and monitoring the tape as it's recorded.

I am basing this on the many old Guitar Player interviews that I read as a wild n' crazy teenager (yeah, that was a while ago) While I have always repected Fripp's talent, and probably even more, his creativity, this attitude factor has always biased me against him.

Robert Fripp. But the real trick he & Eno used (as Steve Reich, Terry Riley etc. did) was: recording on one Revox (w. no right reel) & play simultaneously the tape on a second Revox (w. no left reel). With two Revox a few feet apart, you could have incridible delay times (several seconds). Nowadays it's much easier with a device such as a Lexicon JamMan, but of course you don't get this mysterious, wonderful, magical effect of the sound vanishing, morphing & disappearing into colored noise...

As the clock rate slowed, the delay became longer, and the high freq went to hell, characterizing the analog delay sound. With a LFO on the clock rate, small pitch shifts were added. I think the prior reply refers pretty much to tape delay, and is correct in its content. ARF!!

I tried with a Syquest 135 (formatted to 512 blocks) from an Akai 3000XL. The ASR can see the directories, but when I try to load the "Volume" it merely responds "Directory Empty". Anyone have any suggestions? BTW, on the tips-n-tricks thread. I've just recently gotten into layering. I've taken four vocal samples with different timbres and created a cross-fade between them with the mod wheel (or velocity). As the sound is played, you simply fade between the different samples. It's simple on paper and has a stunning knob-twiddling effect. It's as if you'd have a resonance filter on a singer's forehead. The hard part is coming up with the right A-B, C-D, numbers for the crossfade on each layer. It took me a long time to figure out smooth transitions between each wavesample. (e.g. layer 1 comes in at velocity 0, out at velocity 45, layer 2 comes in at velocity 27, out at 78, etc. etc.) It seems like there should be a simple formula to figure out a uniforom crossfade between X number of layers. For smoother transitions, you might want to have each layer fade into _two_ neighboring layers or whatever It would certainly be an easy feature to add into a new O.S.

BUT: There are at least two situations where I am _very_ happy to have the built-in sequencing capabilities: 1. On stage. I do my sequencing at home on the screen, export the tracks I need to a MIDI-file and convert it to EPS-format, using Gary Giebler's great conversion-software. Smooth, convienient, error-free. On stage I use the built-in sequencer of my old Classic for the occasional loop or percussion. No additional hardware needed. 2. As a rescue-system. It was only four days ago, when I had to do a short jingle in a studio, where the PC with their main-sequencer went down just after we began to work. After a short period of frustration, we continued to work on my 16+'s internal sequencer. Needless to say, that our customer was quite impressed by our ability to deal with technical break-downs and liked the musik we did even more :-) ... Yes, it was a little pain in the a** of doing every step command-wise instead of drag'n'drop, but OTOH, we had some results which I know we never would have achieved with Cubase, because the approach is _so_ different.

You can import/export disktracks to/from AIFF on an Ensoniq formatted SCSI device connected to a Mac by the program EPSm. I have heard about a person doing this all the time with his recordings. The digital i/o approach _seems the most convenient, but also the more expensive, in particular if you already have SCSI both on the computer and the ASR. There is no ASR OS that will let you play flawlessly directly from SCSI and you will thus not find any drivers for computer recording programs. So you are limited to transfer _files by SCSI and recording/playing back disktracks when using SCSI.

I'm sure you will receive about a dozen messages saying all the same: Go to EDIT*SYSTEM "Base MIDI channel=" and change the value from 1 to 9. Your instruments will now receive MIDI consecutively on channels 9 - 16. Actually, this is _only_ available in Multi- or Mono-Mode. Typical case of RTFM ;-) >I'm looking at an asr10 and I was wondering if the same problem exists? EPS 16+ and ASR-10 receive only 8 channels just like the ancient EPS. But they allow individual numbers for each instrument, although only _one_ instrument is available per channel. This is one of worst misconceptions of the otherwise quite cleverly designed Ensoniq-samplers, IMHO. Hope this helps!

More information: I was only able to boot up without Error 129 or RAM failed at 000200H at the following configurations: (4's on top, 1's on bottom) (1's on top, 4's on bottom" 3 2 Exp (7722 blocks) (available RAM) 4 2 Exp (7722 blks) 4 2 Exp (7722 blocks) 3 2 Exp (7722 blks) 4 1 St (15914 blocks) 4 2 St (3626 blks) 3 1 St (15914 blocks) 3 2 St. (3626 blks) 3 2 St (3626 blocks) 4 2 St (3626 blocks) so obviously the setting with 15914 are the best, but I'd swear that's what I had with just the two 4 meg chips in there.

I got my SCSI and Dynatek Jaz drive the other day. It was an exciting moment for me because i've been a Disk man for eons. We'll i tried to look through my BIG ASS ASR Manual to figure out how to format this thing and it said "please refer to the SCSI manual". The problem is - I don't have one!!, so i try to format Scsi, and the "interleave" prompt comes up. It wants me to set this between 0 - 10. I didn't know what to do so i set it to 0. It starts formatting and after a few minutes i get an error message. I think it was "File Operation Error". My question is, can anyone with a Jaz drive, and an ASR 10 guide me through the procedure to get my SCSI and Jaz drive working (formatted)?. I have 10 Meg of ram at the moment but the store i bought it from said that 10megs should suffice. Do i need 16 megs? Am i forgetting to set something in the System page before formatting? I am currently on Storage Device # 6. Did i plug something in wrong? I've got the SCSI teminator plugged in below the SCSI cable to the ASR. Is that right? Sorry to bother you all.

Edit the key range end points of the layers. For the piano edit both the keyboard ranges for each sample and the root keys of all samples. As a typing practice for myself, I may elaborate.. There are several possibilities here as what the situation is. The organ and piano could be both stereo samples. So layer 1 and 2 could be the Left and Right of the piano samples, or you could have mono samples and layer 2 is a copy of layer 1 either just by parameters or a fully duplicated layer, or it could be containing other samples alltogether. You could also have mixed up the layer numbers. You could have the two mono layers 1 and 2 sounding together just to make the sound thicker. I assume here that your organ and piano consist of mono samples and that layer 2 is a copy of layer 1 by parameters and that layer 7 is a copy of layer 6. ( If it were stereo samples, you need to make these copies ( by parameters only ) to new layers.) This makes your layers like this 1 organ 2 organ copied by parameter from layer 1 6 piano 7 piano copied by parameter from layer 6 Your patch selct would be assign the following layers 00 is piano layers 1 *0 is organ layer 6 ** organ/piano split layer 2 and 7 but for editing it is advantagous to set it to only one layer at a time. You need to edit the copied layers. RTFM for how to select which layer to edit and which wave samples to edit. You should find out which key range each wave sample cover. A simple piece of paper ( or a computer printout ) is a help for some. Your milage may vary. I assume you want the piano in your left hand . I assume you know where you want the split point, here let it be C4 just for the example. You may remove all samples having an _audible beginning key range higher than C5 (the split point plus one 8ve). The audible range can be different than the one given directly by each range parameter because of ordering priorities in case of overlapping ranges. Similarly you may remove all samples in the organ layer ending lower than the split point. You should now edit the key assignments of the top piano sample to end on C5 and the bottom organ sample to start on C4+. ( or C4 and end pno at B4 ) Now you need to do the operations to change the piano by one 8ve. You need to change the root key of ALL the piano samples up by 1 octave. ( In 1 operation). Then you need to change the keyboard assignments for each of the wave samples in the layer. Shift the beginning and the end down 1 octave. That's it. Of coarse if your situation was different, you have to modify this.

I am using an EPS16+ with Cakewalk5.0 (win95). I have a SCSI disk attached directly to the EPS. This disk has the following directory structure: Root(/) /sounds/ /sounds/piano/ /sounds/piano/ /sounds/strings/ /sounds/strings/orchestra/ /sounds/vox/ Where files indicates actual eps sound files and all of the /'s are directories. In the case of the strings directory, there are both files and directories within the main strings directory. My need is to have cakewalk change to the appropriate directory and load a specific sound file and then if need be change to another directory and load another file into another instrument track. IS THIS POSSIBLE???? My goal is to be able to load a cakewalk song and have cakewalk load all sounds into each synth I have without me having to press any other buttons. How do other people do this?

My goal is to answer your question, cause it's a fun one. If you are just thinking about loading all the sounds at the beginning of the song, then it's easy. Make a Bank, and make sure the SCSI drive is set to the directory in which the bank resides, and send a program change that equals the file number of the bank. If your MIDI Mode is Multi and PROGRAM CHANGE=ON, then it will load remotely. If you are thinking of loading sounds on the fly in the middle of a song, then it's more complex, but it still can be done. There are two ways. The first is using Macros. MIDI Program Changes 100-128 invoke Macros 0-28. So to load file 7 in /sounds/vox/, do this: Make a Macro (let's say Macro 5) that goes to the directory /sounds/vox/ During the song, send a Program Change 105, invoking Macro 5 Set a short delay so the drive can get there Send Program Change 7, to load the file YOu need to do this with enough time for the file to load in The other way is by navigation. Macro 0 makes the drive go to the directory where the MacroFile is, which should be the Root directory. So, supposing the Sounds directory is file 1, and Vox is file 4, do this: Send a MIDI PRogram Change 100 Set a short delay Send a MIDI Program Change 1 Set a short delay Send a MIDI Program Change 4 Set a short delay Send the file number that you would like to load.

I don't understand.... you "only use the ASR for sounds"... what else would you use it for? It gets hot, but probly not hot enough to use as a toaster. Oh, maybe you mean you _use only_ the ASR fer sounds? Like as in having no other modules? I was in that situation fer a few years, only with an EPS16+ (rackmount) _only_. I sampled raw waveforms from analog modulars (the Serge in particular) and used layering, sample start points, and envelopes to modulate the sound, plus fx including eventually waveboy's rez filter; recorded drum kits fer both individual hits and loops; and sampled some really strange stuff (like water in a plastic bottle, metal baking sheets, pieces of rebar, you get it) just cuz I could, _some_ of which was actually useful. I learned to get a lotta sounds in the tiny amount of ram available - 2 megs! I learned to give my samples some life with modulation layering & crossfading. I learned to use the on-board fx to, uhh, good effect. The eps/asr IMO sounds really good. While it doesn't have the killer synth architecture that the K2K has, or the RAM, it's easier to sample on (and to get a good sample with) and has better on board fx by far than the K2K does. (That's the K2K's weakest point - i recommend not using em.) I still use my EPS. A lot (I have it, and i know it - you know, the time invested in learning it.) My work doesn't suffer for it! Of course by now I got a few other tools and toys, some old analog gear (MoogProphetKorgOberheim), and only _one_ digital synth, the Wavestation AD, with which it's possible to make some really cool sounds that move and change. I don't like sample-playback synths cuz the sounds are so static and I really like synths to sound like good synths rather than bad strings, horns, guitars etc. So of new stuff it probly is no surprise that I like the physical-modeling synths and the retro new analog stuff best: top of the list is the Clavia Nord Lead; the Korg Prophecy is pretty cool too; Waldorf's Pulse, Studio Electronics ATC-1 (and SE1 too) are the best new analog stuff... Oh yeah ya can't go wrong with the K2000, it is an ultimate synth, despite what I said above... >Wow, I get to fantasize within my reply.

If "a few minutes" is 15 minutes, then you have one of the newer Jaz drives which can't be used on the ASR. IOmega is currently looking to see what they changed in the drive's firmware so that they can fix the problem. The drive is actually passing the low-level format command, but is failing when the directory sectors are written to the drive. The drive is reporting an error back to the ASR, so the ASR aborts the format command. Incidentally, even if you used our EDM software to format the drive, you still can't write to the drive with the ASR. However, reading an existing cartridge seems to work properly. Just don't write to it.... We're all waiting for IOmega on this one. I'll let everyone know when the problem is fixed and what to do with the bad drives.

I enjoy mature responses whether they are in support of or disagreement with what I may have said. I still say that the ASR has terrible digital to analog, vice versa converters. But, considering when it was designed/released, its a decent board. I have used it exclusively on all of my projects that I've released. (Is this phrased to your liking, Mr. Grammar out there?) Many of you beg and plead with Ensoniq to release a better sampler. HELL, if they will not/can not comply with your requests, I advice moving on and finding whatever pieces that will. I will not buy another Ensoniq piece. I am not bitter towards them, I do have some affection for my ASR. It is special to me. But the times have changed and my expections have far nnsurpassed the deliverance of what Ensoniq has to offer. If the release of their new keyboard, the MSR or whatever the hell its called, is representative of a quality standard for their products, then I won't look back. For a sampler, a bonifide sampler, try Akai, Emu products. For good synths with great feel, try the Korg Trinity and some Kurzweil boards. As far as the frequency comment on the K2000, I am not terribly worried about that. I am able to shape the sound to my liking. I do moody and dark underground house music and sometimes those wimpy high frequencies get in the way *laugh*. I was joking for those people reading who are strongly anal.

Y E S !! This is a FAQ. Issue a series of program changes representing the "hierarcical key" of the instrument. The hierarcical key of sounds/pianos/steinway is 2/1/5 if 2 is the filenumber ( which you see by pressing Load/(Directory)) and 1 is the filenumber of the piano directory and 5 is the filenumber of the Steinway. This way you can load any instrument provided 1) You load from the root 2) let there be sufficient time between the program change commands 3) there is already an instrument loaded.4) The ASR is setup: MULTI is OK and Edit/Sys/Midi Prog Change must be turned on. I use a macro (issued by midi) to take me to the root level. You could also issue a series of program change 0. That will back upwards in the hierarcical tree structure but takes more time as a universal aproach. When you issue a program change, the ASR will start to search for the fil/directory of that number. During disk acess the ASR will not allow other Midi commands. Thus you need to provide some time between each program change in the hierarcical key and also some time after the last one before you load the next instrument. The time you need depends upon your drive and the size of the instrument. I start up a session by loading the Macro file, then issue a Macro which loads small empty Midi instruments into each instrument slot thus beeing ready to load another instrument. That macro can also be issued to free up memory. The macro file contains the macro to take me to the root. These things are the same for all sequencers and computer platforms and Ensoniq samplers. I use something I find very convenient on the Mac: I browse the Ensoniq hard disk on the Mac by the program EPSm. Then I select the instrument I want and press cmd-C. I then switch to my sequencer; In Vision I press cmd-V and all the midi commands nessecary to load the the instrument is pasted into the track and spaced out appropriately in time. A Midi text message giving the name of the instrument is also automatically pasted in for convenience.

I can not invoke macro 0 by MIDI prgrm change That is obviously a mistake in the OS, and has annoyed many for a long time. Unless you have a trick to it, or newer ASRs have got this fixed it is still the situation. So we have to make a macro ourselves which takes us to the ROOT. That's not a big deal, but annoying. Annoying enough to whine about it once more. Just another note on convenience. I always use the same number for this macro. Every time after I format a new cartridge I restore a collection of files to the fresh cartridge. This will setup many of the directories I will use and also these Macros and a bank which will load empty Midi instruments. Then a comment on different approaches for loading. In my opinion the preferred way of loading instruments from a computer sequencer will depend upon the purpose. If you want to use it as a juke-box player, live accompaniment or theatre sound effects then making a banks for all loads may have advantages. But for creating new compositions and having a flexible and easy process when making changes, then loading single instruments without having to create macros or banks for the project seems the most convenient to me.

Quite simply, it shows poor insight and poor engineering to use converters of any decent quality only to source the audio from or pipe the audio through cheap quad op-amps. And routing the analog audio path through unshielded ribbon cables which share digital signals - really. I wouldn't limit myself to say I wouldn't consider an ensoniq product in the future. However, approximately a year after we started using our ASR-10s (dec. 92) I realized that it would probably be their last keyboard product which still retained the historically quirky innovation of ensoniq keyboards before the current peer-imitative marketing strategies of the electronic music industry hit them as well. At least they managed to outlast Roland in that respect. - -tjr - -- urr Research & Development Group t514-844-6412 f514-844-3776 ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

And thanks Terje to be so comprehensive in your description. Devin, you might be a little lost in so many details, so (just to make you lost a little more...) just remember: - - Copy needed layers (Command/Layer); choose "Parameters" only (Not "Parameter + Data" which would unnecessarily eat memory) - - Then be careful to WHAT you edit: always go back to "Edit/Instrument" to check what is underlined: in your case, I suppose that would be one of the new created layers' number (Not a wavesample number, nor the whole instrument). - - In order to make that kind of edit easier, I often create a new (blank) instrument (Command/Create new instrument) in which I import layers & wavesamples to edit. Having one source instrument & one destination instrument makes it clear and easy to compare, simply by selecting the instrument instead of changing patches or layers. Don't forget to save & rename this new version. Good Luck.

I recently found a Mac emulator for PC called Executor by ARDI software. It claims to emulate System 6.0.7 and can emulate System 7 partially. It can also read/write to Mac floppies, hard disks, and read CD-ROMs. What I was wondering is-if I installed a SCSI card into my PC and connected my EPS 16+'s hard disk to it, do you think that EPSm or similar Mac programs would work with it? Has anybody else heard of this emulator and tried this, and if so what were your results? I don't want to purchase a real Mac, as I already own three PCs, but if an emulator was able to run these programs it would be great. TIA.

Need answer to following: Where could I find a complete list of MIDI codes (SYSex, etc) for the EPS Classic in ELECTRONIC form? (versus buying it from Ensoniq) Also, to whoever wrote: >>Somebody wrote about cooler fan installation. Can you please send a detailed message about it? (Where to install exactly, how to fasten, what size of fan, where to get the power from, where to install a separated power switch etc.)<< I am not sure what the back of the ASR-10 looks like, but the EPS classic has those heat sinks along the back where I've mounted two 2.5" computer power supply fans next to each other connected in parallel to a simple 12Vdc Adapter. Make sure the adapter can handle the current for the fans (a mere 300-500 milliamps). I put a potentiometer on my fans so I can vary their speed when I want to sample (to quiet them down a little). My EPS has been running for nearly 15 days (roughly 350+ hours) straight and I can hold my hand against the heat sink and it's cold. I used flimsy sheet aluminum and made a mount connected to the underframe of the EPS for the fans to rest flush against the heat sink with airflow flowing away from the heat sink. This pulls air up through the bottom and top of the heat sink and blows it out the back. Putting the fans "grille-side-out" also makes it less likely that I get my fingers snapped by the blades when I'm back there fingering around for cables, (ouch, been there, done that). I've been collecting power supply fans everytime our company throws out an obsolete PC. You could do the same, or buy them from your local electronics store. Now, I have a question about VOYETRA MIDI ORCHESTRATOR PLUS and DIGITAL ORCHESTRATOR PLUS... Is anybody else using either of these two packages? I am looking to upgrade from version 1.63 of MIDI orch. and want to know if it's worth it. I also need SYSex MIDI for the EPS classic (not the EPS16). ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Simply ask for a "Generic" (that's how it's called in Toast Pro) copy CD: the Mac will not even try to recognize or read it, and won't ask you to format it or whatever. What you'll get is a clone of your drive, in a CD-R format (so check fragmentation, directories, SCSI ID number if you want to recall banks, and so on...). A friend of mine made many CD-Roms for his samplers (K2000, S1000, S760, unfortunately he has NO ASR) this way. It works. (Slightly off-topic) I'm personnally considering to replace the integrated CD drive of my 7100/80 by an internal CD recorder/8x reader: cheap (about $500 in France), elegant (no additional SCSI item+cable). The only problem is that I could'nt start the system from this CD drive: the CD player needs to be identified as an Apple device (& of course the 7.5 system is too big to be on a floppy). Hope this helps.

The other reason is >that when i crank up the volume with all notes off, my ASR is DEAD quiet. I think sampling through the analog inputs is pretty noisy, especially with the input cranked up. The XLR inputs that the K2500 and new Emus have would be better, but I don't think either of those packages were available when the ASR first came out. Since the day I first heard a song done entirely with an Ensoniq (an EPS or EPS 16 I think in '88? '89?), by a fellow aspiring musician I knew that was the sampler I wanted. However so many bands use Akai's, I'd really like to find out what the attraction is.

It's truly my favorite synth/sampler!!! "However so many bands use Akai's, I'd really like to find out what the attraction is." For the Akai's I think it's the res., filter thing. And for the Emu stuff I also think it's the res., filter thing and the massive poly & ram. 128 voices/128 meg o ram. I mean like wow........who needs anything else. But I don't think any of these machines can compare to Ensoniq's operating system. It's just so easy to use! I'm a convert from the Roland S-series stuff and it just seems that I can get a happening sample done in have the time I could on a Roland machine. Again because of Ensoniq's operating system.

First of all, i stand corrected regarding the ribbon cable: the only signals which pass through it are analog. I had actually gotten two parts of the layout confused in my mind. However, I still completely stand by everything else i said. Michael, i am familiar with the TLO series quad op-amps. And I strongly disagree with your statement that they were "the best that were available for a reasonable cost at the time the ASR-10 was designed (1991)." If your budget only allocated $0.75 for an op-amp, then your choice may or may not have been reasonable. However, there were (and are) many other options available. While i wouldn't expect to see any LT's in a sampler of this price (especially coupled with the ASR's converters), there are chips such as the OP27 series, AD80711, and several other alternatives from companies like analog devices, all of which represent excellent value. And as to you comment that the MC33078 are excellent regardless of cost, well, perhaps to someone who is active in only the mass-fi industry. But all of this is completely removed from the point of my original post. I was inplying a flaw in _approach_. A good analogy is Apple. They employ many intelligent ideas in the design of their products; shielded floppy drives, intelligent power supllies, etc. However, they follow each good idea up with a bad one. Such as using 1/4 watt resistors where they really should have used 1/2 watt resistors. And not putting dust flaps on their floppy drives. I used to believe that Apple hardware was well designed, and thus the higher price than PC's - untill i opened one up. They don't really know how to cut corners properly, hence some of the historic problems in their hardware (ie. the mac plus power supplies). Michael, it's good to hear that you have a BSEE (presumably in computer electrical). However, i would hesitate to associate a degree with knowledge, or more importantly, insight and wisdom. Here's an adage. If you ask a newly-graduated high school student what he knows, he will say "I know so much". If you ask a post-doc what he knows, he will quickly reply "I know so little." If you listen to an ASR-10 through mass-fi equipment, it will sound quite good, simply because the flaws in the source are masked and colored by the flaws in the other equipment. If you listen to an ASR-10 through accurate, hi-fi equipment, the flaws become very apparent. While i may have a slightly forward and/or blunt manner of speaking, i don't intend to insult. I intend to make points. Whether you want to listen to them or not is your business. I'm certainly not interested in flame wars. goodnight. - -tjr (ps.s-if everything is so well designed, why do i hear scsi line noise when my hard disk is active? that IS poor engineering.) - -- urr Research & Development Group ---------------------------- halifax * montreal * los angeles * hamilton * wolfville t5148446412 f5148443776 ---------------------------- ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

This is because you have a ground loop in your system between the audio, sampler and hard disk sub-systems. AKAI, Peavey, Roland and Emu also exhibit this noise when a loop is present. Try a couple of ground lifters with those three sub-systems and see if it goes away. You could just as easily blame your HD manufacturer as well. It's not fair to blame Ensoniq, necessarily.

It certinally does sound good to my ears. But to me sound quality is a very subjective thing. Even when with the help of technical equipementso that you can see that this box sounds better or worse than that box. Better meaning frequency response . The best frequency response does not have to mean the most pleasing sound. IMHO, In the case of the ASR, gerat specs -do- equal great sound. But it is'nt always this way. .....but all this aside, I have a story I would like to share that did make me feel a lot better about the sound quality of my ASR. When i first got the ASR I was on a recording with a very "old school" producer. His ears were used to megabucks mixing desks and 2 inch 24 track recorders with dolby SR and very expensive mics etc......In other words he was used to very high quality sound. We were doing a dance track that I was doing some synth and sequencer work on. At one point it was required for me to sample some cymbals that had been recorded in his studio with GREAT mics etc..... When I took the samples and played them back, HE fell off his chair. What you have to get here is that this guy was very sceptical about this technology. He really wanted to not like what he was going to hear, and with all of that going on in his head he still thought that it sounded great. I don't nescessarily respect this man's musical judgement but I do respect his ears.

It leads us nowhere. Here is my opinion (sorry, maybe a bit long). 1. About ENSONIQ: I have an ASR-10 and I know other Ensoniq products, too. I know the limitations, but I am still very satisfied with the features and the quality. IMHO they engineered them very well, with the assistance of musicians. Their products have far better possibilities than the average or what is usually necessary. (Note: You can find my letters on the list. I myself have problems, so you can see: I am not fanatic.) Don't blame Ensoniq, but send clever lists of hints for them about our requests (new features, new OS etc.). Or have you ever sent a letter to Ensoniq, thanking for their great products? (I am not joking.) I think they don't want to cheat us and just get our money (there are many easier ways, you know), but they really want(ed) to construct the best instruments they could, for us, MUSICIANS. 2. About US: We are musicians, voted for the same brand. So we have similar taste. Let's teach each other and cook together. Concentrating on the food and not the owen. :) I mean our instruments are just tools, but the main result is to make good music with them. This is absolutely possible, the only question is the "know-how". There is no instrument without problems or limitations. But every instrument has strengths, too. We should concentrate on the possibilities, hints and tricks. Let's help each other, send advices to get the best result, within the known borders. We have to stay musicians, instead of being technicians. (I am both :) 3. About the MARKET: I think we mustn't follow the market strongly. You can buy a new synth every year - and you will still learning the "new" features (which are not SO important) instead of using well what you already have. It is better to learn as much as possible about your only one instrument, than buy several and know just the basics about them. What is it good for to chat too much about the limitations, while anybody can go into the studio with his 20 year old guitar and record better MUSIC than we ever could? The technical possibilities or limitations are get subjective when you go to make music. 4. About the ART: (Can we at all talk about it nowadays...?) I think the quality or the beauty of the creation is mostly based on the artist and how can he use his tool, but not on the tool itself. Our music will have no greater value - except from the technical point of view - if we use e.g. higher sampling rate etc. 5. About the MAILING LIST: I would like to learn useful things from the mailing list and make better recordings when I go to the studio. And I don't want to feel hate against my instrument or its developers. I think if somebody likes other synths better than Ensoniq instruments, he should subscribe to another list. What do you think?

If you listen to an ASR-10 >through accurate, hi-fi equipment, the flaws become very apparent. I disagree with this statement in the strongest possible terms! I have been playing on major records non-stop for the last 9 years using Ensoniq samplers and synths, and while it is true that there were problems with the early EPS designs concerning SCSI implementation and power supply noise, I have found my ASR10s to be very reliable and wonderful sounding (as was the venerable 16+), not to mention enjoyable to use. I have NEVER had any problem with noise from SCSI connections on my ASRs, and I have a ton of SCSI stuff on all 3 of my ASRs. My only problem, and it is one shared by many, is the 16 meg/8 instrument/8 output limitation often necessitates my having to use 2 of them at a time to get the results I need, thus requiring more rack space (along with the attendant SCSI drives) than I would prefer to be using. We are certainly NOT listening to these things through "mass-fi equipment", whatever the hell that is! Chances are, you and/or some of your friends are listening to the work we've done on them on some of the records you own that we've done, and not giving a second thought to the problems you think they have.

Ensoniq is _not_ coming out with a new sampler. (this year anyway) Nor are they working on any enhancments for the ASR/EPS. We've even seen heated e-mail from Ensoniq employees... I've personally weighed all the recent criticisms/compliments and have _still_ decided to stay with the ASR. It's obvious by the lack of correspondance on this list that many people have recently unsubscribed and gone on to other machines. Who can blame them for giving up on us? The new Akai/Kurz/Emu machines are superior in many ways. We on this list have only one choice: We must support each other, feverishly. We are the only people left that give a damn about the furtherment of the ASR and it's unique abilities. People like Terje, Giebler, Garth, Berkely, and Waveboy are our last bastions of hope. We've all heard how wonderful their contributions to the machine are. If you've ever thought about getting any of their stuff for the ASR, I think now would be a good time to show support. (no, i'm not affiliated in any way, yada, yada, yada...) I also like to ask if anyone feels like volunteering to archive a list of O.S. update suggestions. (I don't have the facility to do it myself) It's obvious that there's alot of simple things that could be tweaked. Wheather or not anyone at Ensoniq even remembers what the ASR is, we could still give one last try. Who knows, maybe some bored programmer could pump it out in a week. It sure would keep us from broadcasting Ensoniq-bashing messages across the world on the eve of their new baby's (PARIS) birth... - -michael eringis R/GA digital studios eringis@rga.com ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Would you please give us an honest answer: Did those noise-problems due to ill-grounded SCSI-devices ever happen to you on any of these machines? Ok, you already answered this question partially: >AKAI, Peavey, Roland and Emu also >exhibit this noise when a loop is present. [Rethoric question:] But: Who makes these loops happen? I've made the experience that the only sampler which did this _right out of the box_ was my Ensoniq. And at least three other E'-machines I know personally. Latest item of anger was (is) my ZIP-drive, which works noiseless on a Roland. Generally speaking, the S770's or S1000/S3000 in the studios I happen to work for keep deadly silent when doing SCSI-stuff. They may be modified, of course. (I managed to get the internal HD of my 16+ - -rack clean, though. Was a painful job.) Unnecessary to mention, that I never heard SCSI-zippering on any of the professional HD-recording-systems, like Spectral or DD. From my - of course unproven, purely empiristic - point of view I'd tend to agree with Thomas' opinion. But then, I'm only a user. Any other statements? PS: to Garth@RCS - you saw a lot of Ensoniq-samplers during the years: Would you mind telling the list your experiences? Is it the sampler - or is it the bad design of SCSI-HDs and removable media devices?

This week I found a person selling a ReLax 44MB drive with four cartridges.

I'm in a gothic-industrial band called Mindless Faith and we recorded our CD with only the 16+, guitar thru a Super Fuzz pedal, and two mikes thru two different processors, mixed on one of those 5 channel Radioshack mixers and recorded to hi-fi vcr tape. Now many of you may laugh but one guy from another band who used a studio asked us if we had our own studio or rented and if we used 16 tracks or more? That gave me a good laugh and I told him what we did. Another couldn't believe that all our drums were programmed and tapped out on a keyboard, he said they sounded so real and complex. And many others say they find it hard to believe how we recorded it. I guess when you're poor you make the most of what you have. Also, I don't think its that hard to get a good recording even to normal tape, just boost the treble when recording and it will sound crisp. later, Chris ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Hell, I think given the right information, there are enough hackers on this list to churn out an OS with plenty of the updates/enhancements that people have requested. HD problem: Erratically, my ASR loses contact with its HD. When it happens it's usually not long after startup and the HD light goes on showing disk activity (when I'm actually not doing anything with the HD). After that, the ASR doesn't recognize its presence. Anybody know what the problem is? Is my hard drive failing? My current solution is to quickly turn the hard drive off and then back on again; then I'm able to change storage device to the HD again. Is this bad for the ASR (since I leave it on and connected to the HD when I reboot the HD)?

And, again, i can assure you that the noise is not due to a cheap SCSI device. Specifications have been referred to many times during this thread. But in my experience, specifications tell a very small, and very selective, part of the story. In some cases (not ensoniq's, tho) the companies actually publish lies in their specifications. Ultimately, i take these figures with a half-pound bag of salt. Also, frequency response, signal/noise, and THD in no way represent the only factors in sound quality discernible to the ear. If most of you can not hear any problems, then that's fine. I'm obviously speaking from my own experience, and I can hear that the ASR imparts a definite "sound" to what passes through its electronics. Richard, by "mass-fi" i mean any device which routes the analog signal through unshielded 100mil ribbon cable, in a noisy environment such as a computer (which the ASR is). Personally, I cringe everytime i think of putting my signal path through an SSL console - having a high price does not equal hi-fi. Nobody needs to tell me that the ASR-10 was better than its competition at the time, in its price category - I wholeheartedly agree. The ASR's performance was the reason we started purchasing these instruments. However, I do not set my standards by what others are doing in the industry - I set my standards by what is _possible_. One holds you back, while the other propells you forward. - -tjr P.S.- Ever wonder why PCs and Macs have shielded power supplies? Because they emit high amounts of EMI.

Is it the sampler - or is it the bad design of SCSI-HDs and removable media devices? I liked what Akos brought up - about that it doesn't make any difference when the music is playing. But it is an issue, since we are a list of USERS. I'll make a general comment. I think Ensoniq equipment is very well adequately designed, meaning that it's not average, it's above average. It doesn't fall apart, sounds great, has lot's of sounds available, and you can depend on it. That's a great keyboard. I don't rate things as harshly as some - I mean you see both sides: guy from Nile Rodgers Productions, who's got credentials, attests to the fidelity of it, while another guy who has shown he knows something makes comments on the problems he sees? Who's right? I see both of them being right - some of it is perception, some of it is biases, some of it is other factors. Me? I like the fidelty of Rolands better than Ensoniq's - I think they are brighter and punchier. I like the effects of the Wavestation better than the ASR's (and the WS was developed long before the ASR). But I think, on the dynamic range and noise front, that the ASR is up with the big boys. I've never had noise intrude on a session or gig. Ensoniq's are easier to use, and the live performance features are the best in the business, I think. To go over the worst, this following is a list of problems that I see constantly coming up with the EPS/ASR samplers: Faulty keyboard (solder going bad, needs replacement or resoldering) The ASR get's too dang hot Low output on the Original EPS Pops when you turn it off The Original EPS SCSI is quirky 16-Plus SCSI doesn't work as universally as other samplers ASR SCSI option is too expensive (IMHO) Only 8 multi-timbral No resonant filters Only one effects processor in unit Sequencer crashes too much Sequencer lags sometimes (this is arguable, but I've seen it happen) DiskTracks are a great feature, but too haphazard to use confidently Too much page-surfing Sys-Ex implementation incomplete (OK, maybe that's just my complaint) To their crdit, here's a incomplete list of problems that Ensoniq took care of with the next sampler: Zipper noise on the release of notes (especially bass) on the 16-Plus (a change of design in the ASR pretty much fixed this) Runaway data slider on the 16-Plus No backup/restore feature on Original EPS (it's in the 16-Plus) Digit's in the display burnout (now they have LCD's) Please note that most of these are not audio problems. As for the discussion of bad designs, personally it's great to see it talked about - the more discussion, the more you can a) learn from it, and b) the more you can accept and discard. None of the discussion should be taken personally, for heavens sake - we are just evaluating hardware. For example, let's bring up another dead horse. Remember the discussion about the power supply in the ASR? One person had stated that the ASR used over 75% of the availability of the supply. He noted that a unit taxing a supply of over 75% was unacceptable in the audio industry. He said it in reference to the heat that the ASR emits. After he made that point, the subject disappeared. I'd still like to know (it's a moot point though) if that is the reason behind the heat, and if and why Ensoniq made the decision to do things that way. Any informed opinions?

I personally have no complaint about noise etc. with the EPS or ASR (with the exception of the Original EPS's output). I have had experience with the buzzing noise when the SCSI drive is loading, even when I think that no ground loop is present. But it's not a constant thing. If it works and is not annoying, I suppose it is "good engineering". I appreciate what has been said thus far - the heat should always be turned up concerning the insistance of quality with Ensoniq products. It's good for us, good for music, good for business, good for Ensoniq. I do think that people who do know better should feel no restriction to make any reasonable claims they want about Ensoniq gear here, without any verbal backlash. Every reasonable rebuttal is welcome, but stick with the facts. As has been said, the less intimidation people create in their posts, the more GOOD traffic this list will get, and everyone will be the better for it.

This thread will never die. :-) Scott. I must say that it IS obvious that the ASR doesn't use a switching power supply. And i am aware that linear supplies emit less EMI than switching supplies. However, in my high end gear, even linear supplies are shielded - which means there is probably a reason for all that extra copper on the inside of their chassis. Also, i really question the use of a linear supply for a computer. And Garth's mention of the heavy taxation of the power supply is an important point - considering that so many socketed chips are placed nearby this heavy source of heat leads to the frustrating chip creep problems we've had with our ASR's. I remember recently responding to someone who had this problem CREEP (ha ha ha) up on him until he could no longer boot his machine. It would seem silly to have to take the machine into a service centre merely to give a few chips a nudge back into their sockets. Again, a flaw in layout which could have _easily_ been avoided. > Jeez, you don't know jack.

From my experience,if the CO ROM is S1000 and ONLY S1000 compatible,then the ASR should be able to read the data straight from the CD. If there's any mention of S3000 format data, u won't be able to read anything from that except the directory (and *drool* from looking at the directories!!) On the audio side if things,i don't think ASR can read audio directly. U'd need to use something like a Mac with EPSm and all that to get the audio captured and transferred to the ASR. :-P Khew ================================ http://www.singnet.com.sg/~khewss/ ================================ ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Okay, assuming that Ensoniq is working on a new sampler I would like: The same excellent ease of use that they have now. Resonant (analog maybe?) filters with high, low and band pass. Standard 72 pin simms with 8MB standard, 64MB maximum. Built in SCSI as standard with support for standard SMIDI transfer. Some user assignable knobs (like the Yamaha CS1x). Adequate cooling and power supply. The same great effects. More OS update support from Ensoniq. A good quality, reasonably large display (eg. K2500R not Trinity). The ability to read Akai/Roland/Emu libraries. Sample rates from 11KHz to 44.1KHz. 32 voice polyphony with and optional expander to 64. An arpeggiator. Optional built in removable SCSI media (JAZZ/ZIP?). Optional sequencer board. More outputs. Rack and keyboard version. An optional hardware programmer which communicates via MIDI. No disk tracks. Price under $2000 for the rack and under $2500 for the keyboard. I really believe they can do this and I really believe people would love it. This is our chance to help Ensoniq to provide us and other potential buyers with the right product at the right price, and expand our community. ____ ___ ___ / / / /_ /__/ /__/ /__________________________________________ Joe Frost ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

We just finished a project where we used both K2000 and ASR. It was a 35 min composition to a planetarium show and a funny thing happened. When we put the pieces together (I did the ASR part and my friend did the K2000 parts) the sound difference was huge. We mixed the whole thing on a Tascam DA88 and the levels were equal. But wait 'till we went to the planetarium for a final mix. The K2000 parts were much more quiet than the ASR parts. The overall sound was a bit dirty in the K2000 parts and the ASR parts just were brilliant... Go figure. Somehow the K2000 sounds get lost when you use many instruments. The individual sounds are bright and they do sound nice, but when you mix them you get this blurry and not at all clear mix. And the mixes were done in the same mixer...

In the message body put: unsubscribe eps ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Feb 1997 10:32:48 -0500 (EST) From: James Roscoe Subject: EPS: Music, engineering, and the instrument. Hello everyone, I am writing this to clarify the stance taken by my brother with respect to the analog circuitry in the ASR10 (since we share a similar viewpoint). We have owned ASR10s for a number of years now, and they have proven to be excellent creative tools. IMHO, these instruments stand out among keyboards as being particularly musical and dynamic - characteristics that I consider to be most critical in a musical instrument. My brother, in spite of his apparant harsh criticism of certain aspects of the ASR10, is in full agreement with me on this. That said, no design is perfect. A good part of engineering involves making compromises - if the ASR10 were perfect, it would cost far too much for a substantial segment of the market to afford. Sonically, these keyboards are certainly at the top of the list when compared with other sampling workstations on the market. I want to make it clear that we in no way claim to refute that. However, it was suggested on this mailing list that the converters in the ASR10 are perhaps not as "good" as they might be. My brother's response was that there were other parts in the signal path that are perhaps more mediocre and that would be a priority to replace (rather than the converters). I would agree with this statement if the goal is to increase the ASR10's fidelity. The question that then arises is, why would you want to do it? Certainly, some degree of fidelity should be important as it makes the instrument more pleasurable to listen to. However, from a hifi standpoint, any electronic keyboard represents a *perfect* source in that through suitable reproduction equipment, you can hear the original instrument (ie. the ASR10) reproduced as accurately as is possible. This is in strong contrast to an LP or a supposedly "perfect" CD where the source is a recording of the instrument and is therefore limited by the recording itself. To clarify my point, since the ASR10 is a musical instrument, by defintion, its output *must* be perfect: any inaccuracies in the electronics are part of its sonic character much like that of a Steinway in contrast to a Baldwin. The issue of absolute accuracy of the signal electronics really only comes into play when the sampling characteristic of the instrument is taken so far as to attempt to exactly reproduce an acoustic instrument (imho, a completely academic and perhaps irrelevant exercise - if you want a perfect bassoon sound, go record someone playing a real bassoon!). If this were the goal of the designers of the ASR10, then vast improvements could be made, as the analog electronics in it are inferior to the *best* reproduction equipment available today (this is not to say that they are bad - they are certainly very good and more than acceptable - they are just not as good as they *could* be). Additionally, the question that one might ask with regards to all this is "who cares?" Beyond a certain point, the returns of improving fidelity diminish dramatically, and imho (and I'm sure 99% of the readers here would agree on this), the ASR10 has, as a minimum, reached that point. Nobody would argue that a Mirage could sound better, but I don't think anyone really cares about that aspect of the ASR10. And, as *musicians* (as was pointed out already) there's not really any reason to care - if the instrument allows one to express their art, it is satisfactory! I want to reiterate that both Tom and I greatly enjoy the musicality of the ASR10 and that any criticism of it is meant to be taken as pushing boundaries rather than implying that it is somehow junk. Please also recognize that since this is an *Ensoniq* mailing list, it was assumed that most of the readers are Ensoniq users if not fanatics, so his comments should be taken (if anything) as an attempt to force constructive critical evaluation. Let's face it though, any electronic instrument *is* a perfect source, and great music can be made using obsolete keyboards. To use an old cliche, it's a poor craftsman that blames his tools, which is not what either Tom or I mean to do, regardless of how these email responses might sound. Thank you for taking the time to read this excessively long response. James Roscoe btw. I think that much of this criticism has been completely blown out of proportion due to misunderstandings of philosophy. Unfortunately this seems to be the nature of electronic discussions, where heated arguements result and the fundamentals are lost in the flames. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I have a Pinnacle 2x writer, and that's the way it works. >-Jim My idea is: With the Toaster application on MAC, you can write several times on the same CDROM. The last command to start the CD writing is asking if you want to write a "Session" or a "Disk". "Session" means after the writing the CD will remain "opened", so later you can write on it again, as many "Sessions" as can fit. (If you select "Disk", your CD will be closed forever.) So it can be the solution: Fill your HD, write a CDROM (with a "Session"), replace the data on the HD, and write to the same CDROM (as a "Session" again), continue this until you have enough space on the CDROM. BUT: I don't know if the EPS/TS/ASR can recognize more "Sessions" or only the first one (like most of the audio CD players). If I will have time, I try it - couse I am also interested in the topic.

Well, perhaps you like a Neve VR better (or Capricorn, even - though I'm sure you'd find time to bitch about the delay in the monitor buss). Or perhaps you live in a more perfect world than the rest of us. Perhaps you're blaming your shortcomings (we all have them, I'm not singling you out) on the gear you work with. Frankly, I prefer the attitude of the guy who recorded his band's demo to VHS HiFi with just an old EPS and a guitar and fuzz. One makes the best of what there is to work with. I suspect that if you'd heard the difference between an SSL with Ultimation and without, you would feel a lot better about the sound WITH the Ultimation than you do now. Maybe not... BTW, we make our records lately using a Mackie 8 buss/52 input console, though very little signal goes through the board on the way to tape. We have Focusrite, Avalon, and API input modules, and Summit and DeMaria Tube gear for that purpose. Do you think THOSE sound good?

It would be really easy to get the audio loops into your ASR though. What I've done before is hook up my discman to the audio ins of the ASR and sample away. This "adjustments to loop tempo or key in real time" seems a bit misleading. You can always adjust the tempo of a sampled loop in real time; however, you must also simultaneously adjust the pitch. Perhaps they're implying you can sample the same loop across several keys (if they provide the same loop but at different tempos or keys) and then if you want to change key or tempo, you just play a different note on the keyboard. Lame. Just make your own loop and transpose the sequence or up the tempo. You should also note that there are ZILLIONs of sample CD's out there. Don't fret about seeing all these CD-ROM's with AKAI samples that you can't read. There are plenty of CD's that come specifically in ASR format; plus you can read Roland samples (S770??) or you can stick with just CD audio.

In CD terms the capability you describe is called "multisession" I know it is possible when copying in the native format of the computer. EG: drag some files to the CD one day. Come back the next day and drag some more. The only limitation is each "session" uses about 30 to 50 meg of space on the CD beyond the size of the files being copied. In the case of the generic or track by track copy(copying a different format disk) I don't know if there is multisession capability or not. Let us know. I would be real curious to find this out also. cu ===/===/===/===/===/===/===/===/ Paul Najar JAMINAJAR Production . Composition . Arrangement .

I have an ASR-10 and I finally decided to start using my PC to download EPS/ASR info, samples, etc. I figured it would make sense to get (and read) the digests first, but I must be doing something wrong. I have tried every gzip decompresser I could find, but could not seem to convert the digests file to a readable format. For example, I have gzip124.zip, but the instructions on decompression are cryptic to me. In fact, even the FAQ's that I've seen haven't answered the following questions: 1- Is there a particular way that you must download/save the file from the Internet? 2- Do you have to perform the decompression in DOS? (I've got Windows 3.1 and DOS) 3- Also, what command would you use on a file called "eps-digest01.gz"? Would you have to rename the file to 8 characters or less before attempting decompression? 4- After decompression, how is the output file read? Can decompressed text files be read immediately with a word processing program, or are there other steps to take following decompressing? How are sample files delivered to the ASR? (BTW, I have the Giebler programs, but have never used them.) FYI - After unzipping gzip124.zip, I tried this command at the DOS prompt: "gunzip eps-dig1.gz" (I renamed the original 12-letter digest file first) I got an error message saying "invalid format" or something like that. 4- Lastly, in your opinion, what's the easiest routine for doing this stuff? Is there a better decompression program for PCs than gunzip? Hopefully you guys can help me unleash the secret of .gz decompression. I promise to help other EPSers after climbing the learning curve.

It's an intelligent utility that correctly expands any compressed, zipped, binhex'ed, or otherwise converted/compacted format. For windows and DOS, I guess you have to rename it. However I'm not sure how this will affect your ability to decompress; perhaps the gzip remembers the file's name prior to compression and fails to decompress if there is no match. >4- After decompression, how is the output file read?

I am interested in the issue from the viewpoint of producing a believable FULL RANGE piano sound. I have several piano instruments for the ASR, including (but not only) Rubber Chicken's collection of pianos (an incredible bargain I reccommend to anyone), yet they all have some shortcommings, particularly in the high end. Several of them have nice solid convincing sounding lower notes, but they dwindle down to various forms of "plinks" in the upper middle to hi note range, OR they are missing something else that renders them unconvincing. These sonic defects may not be a problem for many styles of music, however when playing a midi file which is a "recording" of a fine performance of a classical work, they are show stoppers. I know that it is necessary to have many samples, and many layers with velocity crossfading, etc., all properly set up to obtain a realistic sound. This takes significant memory, and a lot of set up work on the sampler. There are good piano CD samples available (I believe a university is offering one with good specs and full velocity ranges for around $50). The question is, could (or HAS ANYONE DONE IT YET?) one use a good piano CD sample set, and produce a fully convincing piano instrument on the ASR if it had the full memory compliment of only 16M, or is more memory required?

It all depends on the purpose, in my opinion. Tube-based gear, unless designed with the stratosphere as the limit (and even then), subject coloration to the sound.

That's probably a good thing, depending on your application. I merely have the opinion of the less junk in the audio path, the better.

This takes significant memory, and a lot of > set up work on the sampler. > > Stew Lindenberger wsl@bell-labs.com It is more than just velocity layering and all, there is a real limitation to how realistic a sound you can get from a sampler of an acoustic instrument, and that is the resonance of non-played notes when notes are played. This is especially a limitation on the piano when the pedal is down or at the high end where there are no dampers. There is no way a sampler can reproduce this effect, regardless of memory and layers available. On the other hand, I just saw an ad for a new piano synthesizer which includes both sample-based playback for the notes and the mechanical noises (e.g. hammer strike) AND a physical-model based synthesizer for resonance! That is what you want to have, and if I remembered who made it I would let you know. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Maybe you are a bit more picky than myself regarding this issue, but I have a TS12 and absolutely love the sounds I can get for a piano sound by layering the built-in waves and effect (a heavy duty rock piano created by two voices of grand piano about +4 fine tuned from each other through a nice reverb or/or chorus) and the layering I get mixing this with strings and/or choir voices. I also have a few that mix the good old rhodes 'tine' sound with a standard grand piano sound. Of the sampled (EPS/ASR) sounds I use, I like the steinway sample that comes on the ASR or the EPS diskette set (CRS, the one that spans two disks). There are also some nice ones on the mucho expensive diskette (well, too much for my tastes anyhow) from Ensoniq. IMHO - While nothing comes close to a true emulation of a grand baby grand, the samples and patches on the asr/eps/ts12 are good enough for me, and a heck of alot cheaper than the hernia operation(s) I would have required by now if I had kept playing out with my b3, leslie 147, rhodes and upright (please no flames on this one guys). ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I'd like it if the world were only comprised of actual live acoustic events, like at the turn of this century when all the townsfolk would gather at the residence or business that had the piano, violin, nickelodian or whatever mechanical musical device to enjoy the sounds that were otherwise unavailable to them. We all know that today, our culture is driven by electronic media and events, and in that culture, there exists the artificial creation of acoustical events not possible in those earlier times with the available devices. In the course of that creation and manipulation, it can often be desirable to have a large number of devices (or "junk")in the signal path in order to achieve the desired events. I think that's why we own samplers, which are best at creative endeavors unrelated to the actual simulation of live a acoustical events. none of us is likely to be fooled by a piano sample as compared with the real thing in a blind listening test, for example. Anyway, it's gratifying to see that Thomas and I are not as far apart on this as I first thought, and I thank him for the reasoned and enjoyable discourse on the subject.

It's chucked full of poorly-sampled crap that Karaoke lounge singers use while performing. *laugh* I know that will piss some folx off, but hey you gotta be excited by something these days. I made a comment about the MR a while ago. I had the chance to spend a little time with it and I'm not impressed. The board doesn't appeal to me because of type of sounds I need for the music I create. I think the synth sounds, pads, keys are grainy and dull. But this is only my opinion(flame if you want, I think its amusing d:). Anyway, if you're satisfied with the MR, do what any smart composer would do, buy it. It's just not for me.

Nevertheless, I'm still naive enough to hope that public discussions like this one or the "Interface" in our good ol' Transoniq Hacker could influence a product in its conception. Less "what" and "how", more "why" (... is this proper English ...?) - but that's exactly what you proposed yourself in your next sentence, Gary, so I'm not sure if I got the point. ... >I would love to see a discussion about how many megs of RAM are absolutely >required in a sampler (and why), or what storage methods might best suit your >needs, or how much memory should be allocated to the sequencer (if any), or >how many voices are required in a sampler. Discussions along these lines >could lead to new ideas or methods which might benefit all of us. To me, this is approach is still too quantitative; in other words: these are exactly the points which seem to be redundant to any further discussion, because your answers you will get only depend on the market-niche you aim for. Let me explain: Memory? As much as you can give us for reasonable cost, with wide-set limits for expansions from the OS. Storage? The fastest, most capabale, versatile, mobile, easiest available medium of today for reasonable cost. Voices? As much as possible for a reasonable price, expandable without pain for affordable money. Oh, you ask what I mean by "reasonable"? Well - that's exactly what only the guys from the Economic Research Department can answer; they should tell you (this time as E'niq-engineer) if they want a cheap instrument for beginners, a medium-priced do-it -yourself-thing (like the ASR), or an advanced machine for demanding studio-users, or ... you name it. So _we_ should head towards other, more distinctive questions. Maybe this is what you meant by "new methods", anyway. So before this gets too longwinding, I give you some other key-words: Let's talk about the user-interface, about memory-organisation, about menue-driven vs. button-oriented editing-structures, about performance (= stage)-oriented features, etc. I won't give you my - dumb, naive - ideas for _all_ these points and some others (at least not know ;-), but just one quite obvious example: [ wish 102: ] I'm still hoping for the possibility to save "parameters" independently from "sample data". It's simply not funny to wait for a multi-MB-instrument beeing saved after changing nothing than the release-time of the AMP-ENV. There could be several different aproaches; the most intuitive would be the "ceteris paribus"-scenario: The file-structure remains as we all got used to ("Instrument" contains _all_ relevant data for performance), just add a "Save parameters only"-command to the CMD*INSTRUMENT-menue. The wildest change would be a structure similar to a synthesizer or maybe Roland-samplers: several different file-types refer to sample-data, parameter-sets, maybe even sub-sets of parameters (for libraries of envelopes, for example, which could be a big time-saver for multi-point envelopes - which we'll hopefully get). An "Instrument" in our today's lingo wouldn't any longer exist, because a set of parameters could easily be assigned to _any_ set of samples. You could have different edits of the same audio for live and studio, or different arrangements of the same song - without the need to duplicate the samples themselves over and over.

I think the MR Rack is an excellent instrument for the money, though it's definately not for everyone. There is very limited access to most voice editing parameters from the front panel, for one thing. You need a computer running Unisyn in order to access them at all, which limits its desirability to those who prefer to be able to completely craft their sounds from the front panel. I'm pretty sure this was a design decision based in the economics of producing such a good sounding instrument for the low price they get. When I needed some additional sounds for a tour of Japan I did last year, I found the MR to be the perfect choice to add to the TS12 I was using as the main keyboard and sound source. It worked reliably and sounded great. I'm very goad to own one.

The point I was trying to make is that a bunch of lists of features here on the mailing list probably wouldn't be an effective method of influencing a product under development. On the other hand, dialogs about the "user-interface, about memory-organization, about menu-driven vs. button-oriented editing-structures, stage-oriented features, etc." (to quote you) are exactly what is needed to generate new ideas about implementation. My examples in my previous post were poor examples compared to the topics you proposed. You've already started one of these dialogs with the following: TOPIC-101: > I'm still hoping for the possibility to save "parameters" independently from > "sample data".

I don't spend a lot of time creating instruments on my ASR, so I would never even think about something that is obvious to someone who spends a lot of time waiting for megabyte samples to save to disk just to update one parameter. Now, after being introduced to the idea, I can think of several situations where a user could get themselves in trouble with such an option. If the user had the file stored on two diskettes (one for backup), the parameters might be updated on the backup disk without any recent changes to the samples. Unless the entire file was compared, you couldn't be guaranteed a complete and accurate copy of what was currently in the sampler. There are several things which could be done to guarantee an accurate copy. A summary of sample information could be stored with the parameters, and checked when updating the parameters. If the summary doesn't match the current sample, the entire file could be written. The backup disk also wouldn't match, and so the backup disk would get the sample changes. I'm over-simplifying this example, but it would be possible to come up with a set of constraints which would protect the user from losing changes made to the sample data, while providing the option you requested. TOPIC-102: > PPS: AND I WANT IT TO HAVE PATCH SELECT BUTTONS!!! :-) On a rack unit? Just kidding :-) Patch select buttons, when properly utilized, are a valuable performance feature. Unfortunately, patch select buttons have sometimes been used as additional storage locations for non-related sounds. When you are auditioning a bank of sounds where the buttons are utilized in this fashion, if you don't check each of the combinations, you might miss a killer sound. I found this to be true on the SD-1 and to a lesser extent on the TS. TOPIC-103: Speaking of memory organization (referencing your quote above), would you consider a fixed sequencer memory size adequate, or would you need a variable amount of sequencer memory? If fixed is ok, how much is enough? 64K 256K 512K? Would a fixed percentage of total RAM be better or worse? Would you want an option to blow away all sequencer memory to load that last sample for a live gig? (Let's assume for the purpose of this dialog that a continuously variable dynamically assigned amount of memory is not an option - otherwise there wouldn't be anything left to discuss). Any ideas?

Heck, the demo-songs for my Roland D-5 actually sound pretty good, and that board is the Rolandiest of the Rolands, with cheap, bright, bad PCM sounds. Yech. The point being is that these sequences are usually put together by people who were associated with the product before release and therefore know how to suck maximum power out of the architecture. I've seen a few instances where a manufacturer "cheated" on their demo, doing something that couldn't be done from an external sequencer.

It will cost you some money, but take your EPS into an ensoniq service center and get them to look at the thing. It is probably the save thing that happened with my two eps's. They get old and there is a small board on the keys portion of the eps that goes bad over time.

I´ve tried everything, > nothing helps... press Edit|Inst and then the instument that you are using to control your Bassstation. Look at the top/right of the display/button interface for a button that say something like 'range' and press it. It should be painfully obvious what is wrong once you do this. This brings me to a limitation (there may be a reason for this). I needed to have my ASR record some midi notes from a drum machine. This machine (a Roland R-5) could send out midi notes 0-127 for each of the 100 different drum sounds/configurations. _Unfortunately_ the ASR can only receive/send midi notes 21-108. A little math will show you that I can therefore only access 88 of those 100 sounds. Now, on sound modules, this is not a problem, since the ASR can send program changes to the module and cause it to change to different sounds, but with a drum machine, (at least in my setup) needs a unique midi note. This is a small gripe, though, as I was able to eliminate some of the more useless drum sounds.

I went back to an old notepad where I used to write the features I couldn't get in the ASR. Curiously, a lot of them ARE actually implemanted in the current OS, but I just couldn't find them at that time (I hate manuals), or name them poperly. That's the beauty of the Ensoniq samplers line: a nice balance of both opened & powerful architecture, and an affordable gear with a usable interface. Almost every need finds a solution in these machines. By the way, thanks to this list (& the Transoniq Hacker) that helped me much to discover creative functions that I had missed. This doesn't mean of course that everything's perfect. Perfection doesn't exist, & everything is improvable. Wishes lists generally look like big baskets, overfilled with heterogeneous (& sometimes contradictory) objects. Fantasms about state-of-the-art audio are mixed with price considerations and vintage synth capabilities, etc. The recent discussion about the ASR's audio "fidelity" is interesting from this point of view: it appears that if the ASR were a dtd studio recorder, I'd certainly wish 24bit/96kHz processing, AES/UER digital I/O, and of course a better (more reliable) storage & backup system. But as (to me) the ASR is a musical instrument with a pleasant sound & real-time modulation capabilities, my wishes would rather be: - - Release (polyphonic) velocity. (Thanks Ensoniq for the wonderful "key up" feature). - - A ribbon controller, and/or a more sensitive pitch wheel. - - An "Alternate" (see Yamaha's TX modules) mode, triggering sequentially wavesamples. For instance. Those are personal tastes which can be discussed, I'd just like to use this functions, and can't find them packed in ANY sampler on the market. Other wishes such as "more polyphony" or "more RAM" are obvious, as are the answers to the question "How many": As much as possible. When it comes to quantities, the more is the better (of course for the lowest possible price...) But I must admit that I remember almost exactly each time I experienced a lack of memory or polyphony: most of the time, in everyday use, it's OK. One last note, which to my opinion is not just a personal preference: A musical instrument has first to be reliable, consistent, sturdy, stable. Otherwise your 128 voices and your 8Giga RAM are not very useful. Sorry for beeing so long & for my strange English.

James , you can do that now. The trick to remember is that there are 2 places on the 16+ / ASR where you can set the bus assignments. One is in the EDIT AMP page. You set different outs for each WAVESAMPLE or you can set one output for the whole insrtument. Take note- This assignment page is only saved with the instrument. The second place is in EDIT TRACK. Here you can set an output for the instrument as a whole only.Ths setting overides the setting in EDIT AMP. If you want to have more complex FX routing within one instrument, you can set this page to WAVESAMPLE, which means the EDIT AMP settings take precedence. This rule also applies to the PAN setting on the adjacent page. So with careful use of the two parameters you can bus whole instruments, stereo or mono, wherever you like. Now here's the kikker... The settings in the EDIT TRACK page are _only_ saved with a bank. So ultimately the only INSTRUMENTS you have to resave for the sake of output assignment are the ones where different samples within the same instrument have different bus assignment (typically percussion instruments).

If you are using the on board sequencer then... the volume gets recorded on the corresponding track, so to set a new track vol one must set a new vol then go into ADD record mode, and the new vol gets printed.

Yes that's right Heather.In your case what you would do is .... In EDIT TRACK set the bus assign to WAVESAMPLE. Then go to the edit screen and select you kik sample to edit and go to EDIT AMP. Select whatever "wet bus in EDIT AMP you like(typically bus 1 or 2). Next select the snare wavesample for edit and go back to the EDIT AMP page and assign the sanre to a drt bus (typically bus 3 or if you have the seperate outs, AUX 1, 2, or 3). Thats it . What you have done if you follow this is.....you have chosen to use the FX bus assignments of the INSTRUMENT (EDIT AMP) which only get saved with an instrument, as opposed to using the FX bus assignments of EDIT TRACK which override the instrument bus settings and only get save d with a bank. You can switch between the two assignments at any time by..... in EDIT TRACK to override the instrument bus settings set the bus to anything BUT "WAVESAMPLE" . To give the instrument BACK it's own assignment select ONLY WAVESAMPLE. Hope this helps. cu ===/===/===/===/===/===/===/===/ Paul Najar JAMINAJAR Production . Composition . Arrangement .

The vendor from whom most manufacturers, including Ensoniq, buy their weighted action keyboards (it's actually Fatar, or the company in Italy that supplies Fatar) apparently doesn't make a weighted action/poly pressure keyboard. So for now, if you want weighted action, you sacrifice poly pressure. My TS10 has poly pressure, my TS12 does not.

It stores a change volume event on beat 1 measure 1 of the sequence. You'll notice that if you fiddle with the track volume during playback, it gets reset when it loops back to beat 1 measure 1. Similarly, every sequence in a song has this volume event stored, so you may end up with abrupt volume changes between sequences. What I will usually end up doing is going to every sequence and performing a "delete controllers" command specifiying volume as the controller to be deleted off all tracks. I'll then record my volume information at the beginning of each "song" track. Otherwise you can go nuts trying to mix an entire song with all this conficting volume information.

I must give You all a tip: Try the program AWAVE 3.2, written by Markus Jonsson in Sweden. It's a program, for win95, that converts soundfiles of the most common types, both in keyboard and computer format. EFE and GKH-formats is supported, though a bit buggy. Version 4.0 (soon available...) is hopefully free of all the bugs. AWAVE also contains a visual soundplayer with a waveform-viewer, incorporated in w95, that plays .efe, .gkh, .ede, .krz and many more formats, with just a double-click. A shareware version of v.3.2 is avaliable at: http://www.nada.kth.se/~f93-maj or http://hem.passagen.se/fmj Thanx!

(Let's assume for the purpose of this dialog that a continuously >variable dynamically assigned amount of memory is not an option - otherwise >there wouldn't be anything left to discuss). Any ideas? Thoughts? Hm - I hoped that someone else would jump into this first. But then ... nothing happend. So - here's my 0,02 again: Although I consider "continuously variable dynamically assigned amount of memory" as the _optimum_ (sorry :-), I think there is much left for discussion. Basically, I doubt the widespread concept of a built-in bread 'n' butter sequencer in general. That doesn't mean that I don't see desperate need for a sequencing device - on the contrary! Please read on. I don't know if the guys from Nort America know a German-based company called "Quasimidi". They build Techno-oriented synths in the first line (... who in Germany isn't ...), but not long ago they released a five-octave masterkeyboard with 2 MIDI-ports and some _extraordinary_ features. The little red monster is called Cyber-6. The whole concept behind this 'board is based on a combination of two extremly versatile, interdependant arpeggiators and a pattern-oriented sequencer. "Extremly versatile" means that the rhytmical and melodical structures, the MIDI-parameters and a lot more is freely programmable. You can "arpeggiate" not only note-ons, but controller-data too, which creates some unparalleled FX (... they called it "Gater" because its main intention is to be used with Contr.#7 - Volume for those Techno-typical, gated layers). What's more - both the arpeggiators and the sequencer can be controlled in real-time in some crucial parameters: Imagine a two-bar-sequence in a loop, were you increase the velocity of the note-ons, while you shorten the note-lengths at the same time, after which you change the tempo gradually, finish the loop and advance to the next pattern -- just for example. Needless to say that I bought this machine as soon as I got hold of one. Finally a replacement for my old EPS Classic which I use solely as masterkeyboard! ---- Negative!!! What should I tell you - a great idea doesn't necessarily lead to a great product, and in this special case, the product is _inferior_ as far as the user-interface is concerned. I don't want to give you all the boring details, but you can imagine how nice it is to play a keyboard with a lot of knobs and buttons ---- _all on the right hand side_! And a big alpha-dial - for selecting menue-pages only, nothing else! Changing parameter values is achieved by two tiny +/- - buttons ... 8-P ... And so on. I sold the Cyber-6 six weeks later with 30% discount. (... the first keyboard I _ever_ sold ---- except the old Mirage, which had to go to pay for my first EPS .... 10 years ago .... sigh) [The story is _not_ over now ... please read on ;-) ] Back to Ensoniq world: If a new (keyboard)-sampler offers an on-board-sequencer, it should offer all those features which are _not_ part of every average software-sequencer: Performance- and machine-oriented features like: - - programmable, interactive arpeggiators / "gaters" etc. - - free assignable loop-points while performing - - interactive parameter-editing (transposing, tempi, note-lengths, velocities, controller-values and so on - via sliders/buttons/keyboard/whatsoever) - - "phrase-on-a-key" (you know - starting a selected sequence by a press of a key, playing a loop as long as you hold the key; transposable, of course) - - [MY NUMBER 1 SEQUENCER WISH :-)] - - maybe even the possibilty to record sample-parameter-editing (as you would record sys-ex) for complex changes in sound-structures during a performance; you could abuse this (in combination with the above-mentioned "phrase-on-a-key") for vector-like, ever evolving textures or "Wave-sequencing". ... and much more. Gary, :-) before you say anything: This is not meant to be the next wish-list, but to translate the idea of a different approach to a built-in sequencer, which should (unlike the Quasimidi-machine I mentioned above) feature the legendary Ensoniq-like, innovative-but-cool user-interface. They key words are "performance-oriented" and "tight embedding into the actual sound-engine". After all - everybody builds "sampling workstations" nowadays, but there was only one (well: two) "Performance sampler" in the known universe. OTOH: I can live without the whole length of editing-possibilities, as long as I can easily import my *.MID files from an "adult" sequencer (which I do already anyway, since I got Giebler Enterprise's conversion-utility ;-). For me, the basic functions would perfectly do. But then, this could frighten some possible customers. ---- This leads to some other thoughts I'd like to share, but I think this message is already too long by now. Final question for today - does _anybody_ care about the concept I described above...? Or is it really just a question of > 64K 256K 512K ... to quote Gary ;-) Dietz / ASL Dietmar -Dietz- Tinhof Music-SoundEngineering-SoundDesign - ----!-P-L-E-A-S-E--U-P-D-A-T-E--Y-O-U-R--B-O-O-K-M-A-R-K--!--- http://www.atnet.at/club/dietz - ------------------!-P-L-A-Y--I-T--L-O-U-D-!------------------- http://draht.de/bands/st_marx/st_marx.html ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

To convert a .WAV to a .EFE, get a copy of AWave 1) load a .wav file 2) change BOTH the wave and folder name in AWave to something meaningful, otherwise you end up with a bunch of sounds you cant identify - that is they are all named UNNAMED or U1-1 Under win95 youi can do this with the mouse by a) select b) right click c) rename or properties or just by going into rename mode by left click and slight mouse movement holding the button, then just type the new name 3) select File then Auto Create Instruments 3) press the ok button when the message box pops up 4) you will now have an instrument at the top, click on it 5) then do a right click and select Save Instrument As.... 6) The File Save As dialog has a bug where it doesnt add the file extension on, so add .efe to the end of it With the unregistered copy you can only do (1) file save, so figure out how to get money to the guy in Sweden and get the registered version (please - someone tell me how to get the registered version in the USA and get me an email address for the guy that wrote the product!) so you will have to exit, wait 5 seconds., press ok, then reload it.

Have often wished for this. Particularly with Ensoniq's beautiful DSP, a different effect can render an instrument in a totally different light. Yes, one can save effect files seperately, load bank files, do it with performance presets, but when I want a sound, particularly live, I want it NOW and no dicking around. I play jazz out, frequently, and when we're improvving, there's not really time to spend on "Is this the effect I want?" It'd be nice to just save a few extra copies of the instrument with different effect variations, and yes, envelopes, filter-settings and wavesample-level routings. Gets expensive in HD space when you have to save all the wave-data with it. > Speaking of memory organization (referencing your quote above), would you > consider a fixed sequencer memory size adequate, or would you need a variable > amount of sequencer memory?... > Would a fixed percentage of total RAM be better or worse? One can only hope that the next machine Ensoniq puts out will be based on *current* chip-sets. 68k was great, back in the day, but RISC is just so much faster and more efficient. Which leads me to the idea that the current memory-map paradigm has just got to go. Yeah, I know that I'm breaking the rules of the discourse talking about dynamically allocated resources, but... dang! Its the nineties, fercryinoutloud. Can't we have tiny, efficient kernels? Okay, okay, okay. Given the current architecture, I think a reserved chunk of memory for the sequencer would be a good idea. Have it be sloped, depending on available memory. Allocatable in 256k chunks, to a max of say, two megs. If sequences sat just "above" the kernel and sample data sat at the "top" of memory and worked its way down, with audio tracks being treated as "special" samples, you'd end up with a lot fewer of these memory pointer lost crashes that we all love so much. And, while we're wishing... The paradigm that Ensoniq seems to be approaching with PAEIS is a good one, and an idea that I've wished to be implemented for a LONG time -- object oriented composition. That is to say, any set -- be it sample data, a sequence of sample data, a sequence of external events, or digital audio and sequence data -- would be available as a "Chunk" to move around as one sees fit. For this type of approach, I think that sixteen megs would be the minimum amount of memory, suitable only for 30second commercial spots, and 64 would be more like usable. Expansion to a terrabyte should be available for post and mastering houses. CD burner and Jaz drive or other readily available, rewritable media built-in would be a plus. Now, can we get that in a rack-version? -Jj / tree@acm.cs.umn.edu "Dot seeg?! Vee don't need to show you no steenkin' dot seeg!" oh, and > P.P.S.

I think that if my ASR would have had the ability to allocate at least one independent effect per instrument, even if its only eight, I would have delayed buying the Fostex D-80 I just purchased over the weekend. I don't mind recording live to DAT, but I detest having to cram all the signals with ASR effects through the main outs. I do have to confess, I haven't been able to find quality effects like the ones in the ASR, especially that thick, rich chorus. I don't particulary care about any sequencer development since I've purchased Logic. It's simply the best for me. I echo the request for an enhanced ability to save wavesample routings without permanently changing the instrument itself. Of course, more polyphony and memory. Who knows, if the next generation Ensoniq sampler improves upon the ASR's feature, I just might eat my words and think about buying it.

Everybody knows that Ensoniq has the DSPs So why don't they use them to make something like the Kyma, or any other software synthesizer out there? Real time generation of sound through advanced algorithms and chunks of DSP processing power. This is what Korg tried to do in the OASYS, but they failed miserably. Nowadays it is possible to bring such a machine under a $4000 price point. Digital sound generation has been overlooked by most of the big music companies, and in a few months we'll see some PCI cards stuffed with Mpact or Analog Simulation chips that will shake the market and for less that what many people would pay for a sampler. Pretty soon the sampler will be extinct, replaced by extremely versatile DSP workstations which not only can have the same features of a sampler, but will also have analog synthesis, FM synthesis, Physical Modeling, multiple effects, all in real time. I won't buy another sampler simply because by today's technological standard it is extremely limited. The sampler just samples, but the DSP workstation samples, synthesizes, generates and simulates. So instead of giving a bigger brain to the dinosaur, give it a wide berth and get on with the future Ensoniq. I think that the first major company that releases such a workstation will have a tremendous advantage. Another thing that bothers me about Ensoniq and other companies is their attitude towards the computer. If you have a computer you should be able to control your sampler through software in your 15 inch (or more) monitor. It makes no sense to dig through all those menus on that little LCD, pressing all those buttons just to write the name of the instrument. Not everyone uses computers as word processors, but these companies think that their customers are as computer illiterate as they are. At least Ensoniq has taken a step PARIS, but there is a lot more than a computer can do.

A much simpler way to do it is.... in the EDIT AMP page one of the parameters is called ENVELOPE MODE (or something close to this) All you have to do to get whatever sample to run to the end of it's length is set this parameter to FINISH.

I like that! I just got my ASR today. I am happy to have it, but I must say that Ensoniq and my dealer were less than helpful with finding the specs on my SIMMs (which I bought while the board was on order). I popped in 4 4mX8s (4 megs apiece), which the sampler initially recognized as only 4 megs total. After playing with the jumpers (reversing the factory positions of all 3), it's now recognizing all of them. I THEN found out by calling Ensoniq that the SIMMs are supposed to be 8-chip ones ONLY!! Mine are 2-chip, but they seem to work fine. Anyone know of a reason I shouldn't continue to use them? My wish list for a sampler: 1. A sequencer (for gigging--who wants to lug a computer into a bar?) that imports standard MIDI files!!!!!!! 2. Several all-purpose, fully assignable knobs/sliders/wheels (a la the Korg Prophecy) for realtime manipulation 3. Something LIGHTER than the ASR! : ) 4. (Big pipe dream) A small, detachable sampling-only docking module with mic and line-in jacks so that you can do sampling in weird places without leaving the digital domain. Here's the biggie, though: since so many (most?) electronic musicians already use computers, I'm shocked that nobody's come out with a unit to bridge the gap between samplers, soundcards and hard-disk recorders. By this, I mean a computer-controlled sample-box where you do all editing on the PC's screen. Something along the lines of Kyma but at a price more within the non-professional's budget (which should be possible these days). I went with the ASR despite its 16 meg limit 'cos I don't understand why someone would want to record 64 or 128 megs into a little box with only an LCD. If you could edit the waveforms on a computer screen and save to HD, then it would make sense. I've heard buzz that Alesis is doing this very thing right now, so it'd be nice if Ensoniq did too. Make the thing hook up via SCSI, use the computer's internal HD, and TEST THE SOFTWARE adequately before releasing it. Make a PC version standard, not "coming soon" (hello, Akai?). While I also think that the amazing synthesis posibilities of Kyma, Oasys and the others would be nice to have, the fact is that most people wouldn't use a sampler this way. Make those features software upgrades to keep the overall price down for everyone. I thought this was funny about Rubber Chicken in a previous post: >This software is GREAT! Except I can't seem to get it to work. Which is what I suspected about the RC stuff. Anyone able to get it working in Win95? Sorry to be so long-winded. Thanks for reading this far.

One frequent wish, though, is an INTERNAL hard or cartridge drive. Well, this drive would absolutely have to be switchable, or otherwise TOTALLY SILENT!!! Have you ever tried to sample in real time something from a microphone (I'm sure you did)? It's obviously impossible to get a clean sound if a drive (or anything) is running nearby.

The SMPTE is being converted into MIDI sync with Song Position Pointer via a JL Cooper PPS100 (which was also used to lay the stripe to tape). Here's the problem: the tempo drifts off-sync. everything starts off where it's supposed to, whether beginning play at the beginning or the middle of a song. but after a minute or so, the ASR10 is in a different place time-wise than the tracks on ADAT. again, the start point, no matter where in the song, is always fine. if i play the song from the beginning, by the middle of the song it's out of sync. but if i then stop the tape and play it back right in the middle (where it was just now playing out-of-sync), it's in sync, but then drifts off again. my main concern is, i had no problems like this with my EPS (which i sold recently), and suddenly, with the ASR10 (i tried this with 2 separate ASR10's), i'm doing the same thing i always did, and i'm getting this drifting... again, any tips/advice/direction would be greatly appreciated. thanks & =peace= scott ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Don't >most people mostly use PC or Mac based sequencers anyway? Well, not all keyboard users have a MIDI interface (I haven't sprang for the $50 attachment). Additionally, my keyboard is never usually at my house. I rent a studio apartment downtown that I leave my musical gear at since we can play 24hours a day with no neighbors in a commercial zone. I'm not about to tear down my complete computer setup, haul it down there, set it up and repeat the procedure to bring it home each time I think I will want to play a sequence or be inspired to record a new one. Heck, if I had to do all that work I'd lose my inspiration by the time I could start recording :) >Give us a sampler with a scrachpad sequencer [snip] >spend development money on sound + performance features. I agree that resources should be focused on "sound + performance features" but I disagree with the "scratchpad sequencer" idea. Like I mentioned earlier, not everyone who writes big sequences and songs have their keyboard attached to a computer. The sequencer, as it is, works pretty well for me. There are only a few features I'd like to see implemented, like not-perfect quantizing. I'd like to be able to say "make the notes xx percent closer to xxxx timing" so it will fix my bad flubs, yet not make the sequence sound mechanical because it is too perfect. My biggest "gripe" are Ensoniq's use of non-standard file and disk formats. Maybe it all goes back to legacy code and formats, but it's time for a change. Please implement PC-formatted diskettes and update the file format to hold the information previously held in the FAT and directory structures. Hey, would it be possible to rewrite the EPS 16+ OS to use PC diskettes after booting? Would it be possbile to somehow use MIDI format files? I'm not sure how you'd implement sequence tracks and song tracks, or instrument data, but keep it in the back of your mind. How about placing screw holes on the bottom of the keyboard for an optional hanging "rack" that you could side your external SCSI devices into so they don't slide around? (Like they do when you place them on top of the keyboard?) While you're at it, some means of attaching a drink holder to the side of the keyboard would be great for those hot live gigs ;) Ever try to set a drink on a bass-bin? It won't stay there long.

On 20 Feb 97 10:23:13 EST, : "Tim O'Connor" wrote in an answer to a message from me: >Subject: EPS: New sequencer features [...] >As Ensoniq tries to gear its musical instruments to the widest possible customer >base, they would have to decide if these sequencer features were worth the >effort to to develop. [...] That's exactly what I planned to add to my suggestions, but my previous messages seemed to be too long already. Thank you very much for this perfect cue. Tim. A company like Ensoniq has (simplified) two targets. I would call the first "technical street credibility" - creating a Corporate Identity of beeing able to push the availability of new technologies to its limits. This is what ideally impresses the small group of opinion leaders, like magazine reviewers, top-engineers and -musicians. These people spread the word and create the public image of a product. The second target is "mass market compatibility", with the understandable aim to sell as much as possible from their (hopefully) innovative products. Nothing to explain here. It seems to be quite problematic to achieve both goals with only one product: Obviously, the hi-end product will be more complicated than the average answering-machine and will therefor frighten large groups of possible customers. Due to this, it has to be expensive to cover R&D with small quantities of sold units. The mass-market-product OTOH has to be simpler (to be cheaper and less frightening), but won't necessarily establish what I called "technical street credibility". For large companies, the solution will be a diversificated palette of products. They produce both mass-market _and_ hi-end products (look at Akai, for example). From my point of view, this is too much for a mid-scale manufacturer like Ensoniq. They have to decide, which part of the market they want to serve - and they will apparently choose commercial success before a high reputation (which doesn't pay for lunch). The problem: You have to serve _both_ ends of the market to establish an industry-wide de-facto-standard, like Akai did with their S750/S900/S1000/S1100-line of samplers. Given Ensoniq's resources, they should maybe consider a concept, which helped other small companies recently to make the impossible happen. TC-Electronics of Denmark comes to my mind. Some of you may know the M-5000-mainframe, which is basically nothing than a 19"-housing with a display and a power-supply, to which you add _hard- and software_, according to your budget and your needs. It's completely modular. What could this mean for a new Ensoniq-sampler? Imagine a machine which does nothing more than an ASR-10 does today (based on up-to date processor-technology and so on, of course). At first sight, nothing's new - we know this since the first EPS. As your needs (and you wallet :-) grow, you add some hardware, like we did before: more RAM, more outputs, maybe alternative controllers etc. A basic unit wouldn't cost too much, hardware-wise, because it makes use of mostly standardised components, anyway (conventional mouse and QWERTY-keyboard, VGA-screen, standard-SIMMS, etc.) Now: What about the software? Thousands of man-hours, dedicated to write the most versatile and powerful code, for cheap? No, not at all. When you turn on this new machine on for the first time, you look at an user-interface which has to be _much simplified_, compared to an ASR-10. Let me call this the "MR-mode" ;-). You can do basic, macro-style edits, some sampling, performance-mapping, and that's it. Nothing what should frighten even a new user. Later, if you know what you're doing, you enter the "expert-mode". You could do this in some kind of "Preferences"-menue for the whole machine (similar to Kurzweil's "Quick access"), or in each single menue (like it's done on the Eventide- Harmonizers, or the Finalizer from TC). BUT: You will have to pay for it! You will have to type in a unique 32-digit-password, which Ensoniq supplies when ask for it. This number exists only once and is only valid for one serial nr. You enter this number on a special menue-page, and can enter "expert-mode" now. (At least that is how TC managed the access to their widely acclaimed multi-band-compressor.) The good thing is that Ensoniq has to develop only _one_ unit for both the specialists and the people who don't need all those bangs and whizzels. Another good thing is, that there is a chance for a much broader installed user-base than now, as well in professional surroundings as in rehearsal-rooms. The artists could come to a studio with their raw-cooked sounds, insert their ZIP-disk into the studio's machine, and can do all those fine-tuning they didn't need until now - without the hassle of format conversion or anything. And as a last thought: maybe you will be even able to add third-party-software in the same way (... they call it "plug-ins", I think ;-) No more need to crack the OS, before new software can be developed. More features -> more happy users, without the need for Ensoniq to invest a single buck more. Final buzz-words: modular hardware, modular software, open OS. **** ... already too much for today. Forgive my spelling - it's late. Stop me if this is boring - I have still some ideas I'd like to share ... :-) next time ...

Actually, I change the wavesample name within AWAVE to make sure it conforms to what the EPS and ASR consider valid characters. That is, only uppercase and no punctiuations (asterisks are okay) and keep the names under 12 characters. I also change the name when I "Save as". Awave 3.2 has all the EPS bugs worked out of it that I know of. - --James james@dpc.net My web page http://www.soundcentral.com/~james/ Webmaster of SoundCentral http://www.soundcentral.com/ webmaster@soundcentral.com ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I always thought it was strange that Ensoniq changed the hardware on the ASR in 1995 to accomodate the non-8-chip SIMM's, but it's still erratic wheather they work or not even with the new hardware. 8-chips always work - less than that, it's a toss-up, I guess.

Subject: EPS: Tools status Since there has been a measure of interest again in the EPS/ASR Tools beta on the list here, I thought I'd let you know the status. Beta 7 has been uploaded, and is able to do the following: 1) Do a MIDI read from the EPS/ASR, and save all their parameters into the computer in .EFE format 2) You can edit in real-time most Instrument, Layer, and Wavesample parameters 3) You may edit in real-time the Global parameters 4) With the Disk Utilities section, you can write a .EDE, .GKH, or .EDA file to a floppy. This is what the program has problems with: 1) The viewing of waves (the whole SampleVue screen) is not reliable. 2) The MIDI transferring of .WAV's, etc, is not reliable (the file and disk operations are though) 3) The Naming Wizard does not work. 4) There are still a couple OLE versioning problems with certain computers 5) The usual problem of MIDI driver incompatibility with some computers. The following drivers (as long as they are up to date) have been shown to work: (this is not an exhaustive list) The stock MPU-401 SoundBlaster (most types - the newest versions haven't been tested) Key Electrionics MIDIATOR MQX-32 MQX-16 (PC-MIDI card) Most MusicQuest/Opcode products MIDIMan products One reason this program is a little more complicated on the MIDI side is because it uses sys-ex, and that is defined and done differently in Windows than regular note and controller info. Because of this, some MIDI interface drivers don't implement it correctly, if at all. Most good ones do, though. On the good side, TS/MR Tools for Windows (no demo version, but you can see it in the EPS/ASR demo) is fully functional. It can do .WAV conversions like Convert and Awave can (can put as many waves in an instrument asyou'd like, anywhere you want!), and you can edit most parameters directly to disk or file image. You can read/write/format to floppy disk and SCSI devices, make and modify banks, and more. We will implement any feature you request within reason. We intend these programs to be the state-of-the-art for Ensoniq samplers.

Just a note you may find useful (or not?). I am now using a sequencer on my PowerMac w/ my ASR-10, but I had the sampler a year before I bought the computer. Anyway, I've experienced problems with my more complex sequences when playing back. Most notably, a time lag between patterns w/playback in song mode. Ensoniq tech support, although helpful, hadn't a solution to offer except "use a computer" :-). Their answer was that it's simply too much for the machine to handle, if you have say 8 tracks + virtual tracks running, and most of the sample memory (I have 10 MB) used up. I don't buy that, but it's sort of a moot point since the computer sequencer is much more functional and easy to use (I guess I prefer graphics to LCD numbers. If you are going to use something for live sequencing, my advice is not the ASR-10, as much as I think it's great, that is it's weakest feature. Are you going to load each new song from disk, one at a time? Your audience may become annoyed. Try using an inexpensive sequencer such as that discontinued ALESIS model which loads your songs in secession off of a floppy or BROTHER makes one too. (if you don't wanna lug the computer.) Better yet, if you are using those sequences for backing tracks (I do, since we're only two people in the band playing Industrial music) use a tape instead! DAT works quite well. You save a lot of hassel from things like crashes:(. Plus you will have those tracks free to play the samples live! If I used sequencers,in order to play live I'd need two ASR-10's, 2 of my yamaha keyboard, even more drum machines, have minutes of pauses between songs in which people would probably start throwing things at us, and an hour more setup time! ***Now a question- I've seen the software to convert samples downloaded off the net into ensoniq format - or to read the ensoniq disks, for PC only. Does anyone know if there is such a thing for the MAC? and where I can obtain it? that would really make my day! Sorry if I rambled a bit here, Cheers!

Subject: EPS: ZIP Insider ASR installation At 02:32 AM 2/22/97 -0500, you wrote: >Just one question, why do several of you want a built-in storage device, >i.e. Zip, etc.? Is that instead of or in addition to a disk drive? Someone else answered adequately (portability, etc.), but I wanted to throw in my $$$. I recently put a Zip drive in a E-mu ESI32, and it was so easy. The E-mu does not mandate the floppy being connected, so we just replaced the floppy with the SCSI insider Zip. Worked like a charm. E-mu makes a big deal about replacing the floppy with a 270 Syquest, but that's another case of "don't worry, I can do it myself!". It's the same with Ensoniq - it doesn't require you to have the floppy hooked up, but to format a SCSI drive, you do need the floppy, since the only way to get the FORMAT SCSI DEVICE command up is to boot up with a floppy. But one does have the ability to format a SCSI drive using the Giebler EDM program or the RCS Tools products. The only problem seems to be that the ASR (at least the rack) uses a 25-line ribbon cable to hook the circuit up to the SCSI DB-25 connector.So we need a 25 standard plug-> 50 standard plug-> DB25 jack! We got those made, so we just put Zip SCSI insiders inside 2 of the 3 ASR's we have here, and are sitting pretty for live performance!

A bit of bad new for you on that front. When operating on Todd Aiken's EPS 16+ I discovered that unlike the EPS Classic, and from your experiences the ASR, the EPS 16+ does not have a 12v supply accessible inside. The closest it has is 10v. The only way I can think of putting an internal HD or some other such device is to add another small HD only power supply to the system. ttfn. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tim Rosenquist | Bishop's U. | Due to cutbacks, no more original Technical Assistant | Lennoxville, PQ | quotes will be available.

It may perhaps help some of us to know what we can do to improve the situation. I'm not an expert. If we are using quantization, then there is a systematic error/bug that we can rectify manually.( page, The last note is always off by 3 clockticks.) This may be particularly annoying if you repeat a small pattern. It should also improve the situation to have the most time critical stuff on tracks of low number. And if quantization is not essential for a part for the sound/style we are in, then don't use it. For the ASR I also think the OS1.61 is better if we dont use disk tracks. Maybe my imagination? >too much for the machine to handle, if you have say 8 tracks + virtual tracks Do you mean 8 sequence tracks + song tracks? ( or what is virtual tracks ) I'm just curious, The little interpreter behind my eyebrows thinks you are playing somehow 8 tracks with samples and in addition are playing external synths without trigging the samples. You can not easily do that simoultanously but you could in different sections of your song. If that's what you do it would be interesting to know how you do/did it ( the virtual tracks ). The ASR/EPS sequencer has some features which should be handy for things like rehearsing the tap dancers or the actors of a musical where we may want to rehearse sections over and over and jump fast to special sections. (but it is lacking a global songwide in/de-crease of tempo). Anyhow it is a shame if you can not use it for playback even if the recording, assambling and editing is done better at a computer.

I use mine with a Syquest 5110C (reads & writes 44 & 88 MB carts) without problems,in spite of the fact they are not recommended by Ensoniq.

(Disregard if you already know this) In a case where you'd like to use another synth w/ the ASR's sequencer, the manual (and I) tell you to create a "Midi instrument"- i.e. instrument #8 has no wave samples but does have a name, etc., is set to MIDI STATUS=3DMIDI, MIDI OUT CHANNEL=3D(the channel yo= ur synth is on) and plays your external synth, module, drum machine, whatever- that's the only way I know of to do it. That way, you will not be playing a sample at the same time as your other synth. Unfortunately this uses up an ASR instrument. > If we are using quantization, then there is a systematic error/bug that we can rectify manually.( page, The last note is always off by 3 clockticks.) Even after quantizing-or moving a note manually, I get a lag between patterns in some cases. I've found no fix for that, sorry! I am using O.S. 3.53 - I don't know what ROM O.S. I have. >(but it is lacking a global songwide in/de-crease of tempo). It is? In song mode, there is. but I think it may revert to the set tempo of a pattern once that pattern plays in the song...?

That's what I thought, however you could have set your synths and sampler up such that you virtually had virual tracks :-) for example by velocity swithing on the ASR and scaling on an external synth. But with shared wheel, pitchbends and pedals. ...Not that I would recommend this, but you could do it. It is in fact easy to prepare such tracks on a computer and transfer to the ASR.

Funny, I've always considered this as an option to sequencing when playing out. Especially for songs where I'm playing the guitar and not touching the keyboard at all. Why risk head crashes, disk load failures, bad MIDI cables, loading reams of sounds and a zillion other potential points of failure, when a MIDI sequence is, in effect, a RECORDING anyway? I mean, what's the fundamental difference between playing along with a sequenced instrument and playing along to a tape recording of that instrument? Yet somehow I can't seem to get over the "Milli Vanilli" factor. I mean, who wants to go to see a live performance of a band and find out that 2/3 of the "band" is made by TEAC? Perhaps this is less of an issue with industrial-type music, since it's supposed to have a mechanistic aura about it in the first place, but what about other types of music? What about a pop, rock or folk group?

Recently somebody wrote about a future desktop sampler from ensoniq... I received today the spring 1997 preview catalog from Musician's Friend and there is a device that fits the description but... this one is from AKAI, however it sounds like a good step (and maybe a logical one) into the next generation of samplers. The AKAI product is the called a "Midi Production Center", MPC2000, it has a sampler with 2mbRam expandable to 32 using standard simms, 64-track sequencer, 2 midi inputs/2 midi outputs, plus some expanding capabilities such as an output expander, PDIF digital I/O, multieffects processor, etc. It will be interesting to see if a new paradigm has arrived in sampler interfaces or if it's just a hybrid development.

I like it's versatility because it has 4 ins and 4 outs that can be configured in a variety of ways. It was the first unit I bought to use with my mackie board and EPS and vox, etc.... It has a ton of effects you'll most definitely enjoy it if you are looking for an all around trusty unit.

I would hope that all interested in trading samples would consider just posting the samples onto Soundcentral (http://www.soundcentral.com/incoming). There are lot's of samples up there already, and the more the better. Best of all - this is FREE! This is the sample site we always wanted - unlimited room, and non-govermental custodians of the site. I suppose one reason to privately trade samples is to make sure you get something back for what you are trading, but I would suggest making them available to everyone this way. I am sure that you'll get your effort back in more samples. Please upload them in Giebler Disk Image format (.ede or .eda) and with PKZIP. This way both Mac users (using EPSm) and PC users can use them. If you do not have the Giebler EDM or one of the RCS Tools products to make .ede's or .eda's, then .gkh is fine - we'll change them over afterwards. Remember to NOT load up copywritten sounds - we STRONGLY suggest that you upload only sounds that you have sampled and made. We know what is available commercially, so we weed out all probable problems.

I measured the power from the ASR and it's some strange voltage on one side (assuming the two middle pins are ground), and 5v DC on the other. Since the Zip's are 5v only - same with the EZ135's, they work! The Jaz needs 12v and 5v though, so that, as well as other hard drives, would need that extra power. We tried this on an ASR, but I'm sure both the 16-Plus and EPS work the same. I anyone is interested in the custom 25-50-25 connectors, I can provide you with them.

Come on now, if you include preset and 3rd party samples of every sample-playback synth out there as being copywritten sounds (which they are) do you really expect anyone to beleive that you've heard every single one and can instantly identify them?

And a pitch to midi converter! Yes! Also, the vocalist in my band uses one, and he uses A LOT of vocal distortion, delays, verbs and that can cause a huge feedback problem, but not with that baby!

Theres no reward in using midi >instead of DAT 'less you actually do something live. My original post was with this in mind. I wanted to use some backing up by sequences on stage for a performance of industrial music and soundscapes. I didn't know how long the tracks would be since most of it was improvised. I therefore needed to be able to mute/demute and fade in/out sequences as I thought it adequate at the moment. That's where a little step-sequencer that is a easy to use on my TR-606 is unbeatable. I love it whenever it works correctly. A DAT does not work *in this situation*. However I think that it is perfectly finde to use a DAT on stage. Bands like DIE FORM do it everytime they play. Perfect sound, perfect transitions between songs etc. But we should always remember: the audience is there to see something. Most of them won't notice if you are only turning those unconnected buttons. As long as you make it believable. Remember cables. Remember flashing lights on the machines. And most of all remember to put in some of those little glitches, the less-than-perfect live type of things. The audience won't notice. Because they got what they came for: a performance. The people were moving live, the machines were blinking etc. And that's what they came to see. Just my opinion...

I've found no fix for that, sorry! It's my understanding that quantization can make the situation worse, not better. Often, the cause of the lag is that the processor cannot keep up with all the simultaneous sequencer events (since it's also doing things like allocating voices, processing envelopes, etc.). It apparently performs some additional "overhead" at the beginning of each sequence (like perhaps setting tempo, looking for muted tracks, etc.). When it sees oodles of note-on messages all occurring at measure 1 beat 1 clock 1, it can't cope and so it lags. Better perhaps NOT to quantize a lot of notes right there - let them be spread out a bit, and things might work a little better. At the least, any delays might be masked by the "looser" feel of the playing.

BTW, even with the problems, I'm glad the site is there. (SC-I know you're trying.) I suppose that if the FTP site idea were carried out as intended, the world would be a better place. 1) Everyone would upload "all" their non-copywritten samples, which would be neatly organized by sound-type; and 2) Downloading from the sites would be a snap. However, in this imperfect world in which we live not everyone is uploading, and I am looking for "specific" sound-types, i.e., clean sub-bass sounds, crisp snares and dirty snares. Even for those of you who are purists regarding the concept of uploading to the FTP, wouldn't this give me a legitimate reason to put out a call for direct trading?

This would be using standard MIDI timing called Song Pointer. There is another format called MIDI Time Code, but the EPS is not capable of using it. As I said this can be done, but it is a pain. It's much easier to use some type of PC or Mac sequencer with a mega track count (like Cakewalk) and talk to the two units as (in MIDI talk) Multi-Tambural Slaves.

Plug in say, a guitar, and pick one of the "synthesizer" patches, then midi up your synth. The note you play will be played through the midi out of the SE-70.

SEVERTSEV > vlad@ns.comch.ru > Vlad, Setup one or two sets of Bank disks with your favorite samples, or get a small SCSI hard drive rig made up. External SCSI cases are available for @ $99 US. A bare SCSI drive that is under a GIG can be gotten for @ $200 US. Use Mac style cableing. Make sure that if you use the HD, that you have floppy bank setups as backups that mimic what's on the HD - keep the floppies in your gig bag - Just in case. Also, have one or two 3" muffin fans mounted over the power supply grill on the back of the EPS. Make sure that the fans that you buy can be rigged up to use local power. Your local keyboard wiz should be able to hook this up for you. The power supplies in the EPS's get HOT! and after several hours, the EPS will spill its cookies. You'll know it because your display will usually show @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@", or something like it. If you use the fans, the EPS will run cool all day. I just use a surplus 5" PC muffin fan that I added a power cord to. Everything is cool with it as long as you don't catch the fan with your fingernail (I hate when that happens). I just stand it up behind the EPS where the grill is.

You have to change your global parameters - change the XCTRL NUM to the bank select value your Roland JV uses. My solution only totally works for internal sequences where you go in, and insert an xctrl value in the sequence before the pgm chng value. That will set your bank and then you get the 1-128 pgms for that bank. Maybe you can come up with an external controller to select your banks. I am stuck doing that manually, but it's at my side ;-) Also, the 16+ does not send pgm chng commands if you have the kbd in EDIT mode. So, I can prepare individual midi channels on the Instruments buttons and move around within various locations that way. Not the greatest, but it adds _some_ flexibility. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

SEVERTSEV > vlad@ns.comch.ru > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well I have had my EPS classic (bought new) since they first came out here in Australia, and it's still going strong!!, and I've toured (driven and flown) all around Australia with a band using it, I've also played at clubs and raves (I make techno/jungle as well) with it, and anybody who has been to a rave will tell you it's NOT a place for music technology - hot, steamy, humid, condensation dripping from the walls/ceilings, dusty warehouses, crappy stages, that vibrate/shake and move....and on top of all that, I'm a very enegetic performer, we're talking lots of jumping in the air, slammin on the keys, and general abuse towards the keyboard, think Nine Inch Nails live (well not quite, but you get the idea)... although it hasn't been perfect going over the last 7 years, things to watch for... 1. I've had the disk drive replaced 3 times - they do die after a while! 2. I've had the mod and pitch wheels replaced - I wore them out :) 3. The top circuit board/display replaced - digits started to disapear! 4. I've had some of the main circuit board compononts re-soldered. I've found from experience that it will crash, and then you have to reboot if the keyboard sustains a shock/hit/thump - from other band members getting a little too excited, from me getting a little too excited, from stages falling apart!!, I've had this happen a few times!!, it's kind of noticeable when your in a sequence/sample based band, to arr...GUYS!! I have to reboot, and arr..reload..guys!!!, time to have a free-form jam while the sampler loads..... some other stuff...get a power surge protector, I've got roof rack foam on my quick lock keyboard stand, under the keyboard to guard against rumble/shock/thumps from the stage going through the stand to the keyboard, those rubber things don't do jack!!!, let your eps warm up for about an hour before you use it (it works better (less crashes) when it's hot I've found), some midi devices if turned off while connected to the midi in port of the eps will cause it to crash, we had an alesis hr16 drum machine (click track) for drummer and used to set tempos for sequences, driving the eps sequences that would do this! but overall over the last 7 maybe more years, it's done me well, and I love it to death!! since I've played about 300 live band gigs, and 60 rave/club gigs, and sure I've had a bit of trouble here and there, but overall it's great :) DAMC http://www.ozemail.com.au/~damc ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

If you take the floppy out of the drive, turn it over (so you can see the back of the floppy), and lightly move the middle metalic circle bit (wheel, whatever it's called) around a little, I go clockwise, then give the disc a side to side shake a few times, and insert it back in to the disc drive, the sound/file will load perfectly, it's a good idea to then copy the sound/file to another floppy/hardrive if you don't have a back up of it then, incase the disc is actually malfunctioning, but this has saved a few possibly very embarrassing moments on stage without a back up of the sound/file handy.. any thoughts on why this works?

For #2, hmmm... this would require a thought process & perhaps more input to the thread. I've got LogicAudio for my Mac. It looks VERY similar to Cubase. This question in my mind always returns the same answer - How do you really want to work? Logic has a unique gimmick in 'screen sets'. You can have an arrangement window set up by pressing the '1' key. Then on '2', you've got an event list. '3' will be notation. Or you can create whatever to whatever key up to 90! Which I thinks cool for us 14" monitor guys. The other obvious factor is Logic is cheaper on cost. They give you the most for your money. In Cubase, from what I've seen so far, they don't have the screen sets but all their windows for editing inside are a little more solid than Logic. In the Score window, things come up looking like they don't need a lot of tweaking. They've even got a function called 'make chords'. This is almost flawless. Whatever I've entered, Cubase will assign a chord symbol to it that's theoretically & visually right. In Logic, you've got to put it in yourself & then tweak it to make it look nice. It's the more expensive of the 2 but you'll have a good degree of satifaction. If you do consider buying Cubase, then look at the other top dogs on the market, Performer & Vision. My favorite is Performer. I'd be interested in knowing what other list users use & why. This could generate a long thread of interest. ============================================================== Derek Stevens ---> e-mail koolkat1@eint.com ============================================================== "Ahhh...The MINOR mode.

How pre-historic. I love to swing my percussion and keys hard, and the ASR's quantization doesn't even compare to Logic's. I will tell you that Logic has a steep learning curve, the manual is written for technies with coke-bottle glasses, and if you've used the ASR's sequencer, you'd get confused between the two about what's actually a 'track' and 'sequence'. Apples and oranges in comparison. Logic is beautiful in that I can create an eight-bar groove, paste it say 40 times, and stretch a wonderful solo across it, easily dropping droppin g out/changing percussion, bass lines, etc. easily. If you've ever held chords down on the ASR past the 8th bar(or however long the defined ar length is), they'll surely get chopped off if you don't set the appropiate releases within the sample. This tends to sound choppy, if you don't either use song mode (yuck) or have extremenly long sequences - I don't care for either. I knew that it would take a long time to get adjusted to Logic, but my music has never sounded better, and I freer. I just run into polyphony problems with the ASR..the only problem (besides dollar store D/A, A/D converters..hey I had to take another shot at the damn board). I've released several projects professionally, in which I only used the ASR10. I've recorded in different environments professionally and it just doesn't sound as good as other samplers to me. I don't care what the 'experts' say, how they rank this board. My ears are the critics and I've certainly heard better. So how about putting in better d/a a/d converters..I wouldnt mind paying a few more $$$ for it. It's like you chose a black and white monitor over a color one, with the color one costing about $50 more.

LARGE SEQUENCE PROBLEM FIX For the few (many?) of you that have been having problems with the ASR/EPS saving sequences at sizes about 600 times larger than they should be, I have come up with a fix, and some info on what causes the problem. Not sure if this has been said before, but I sure wish I had caught it earlier if it was: If your ensoniq sampler experiences this error you have 2 recourses: 1:Obviously, you could record the sequence to a software sequencer on your computer as a MIDI file. Easy enough for those with PCs/Macs . . . 2.If you do not use a software sequencer (like me), here's what to do - go through and SAVE EACH INDIVIDUAL SEQUENCE, using the "SAVE CURRENT SEQUENCE" command. Saving times (the amount of time the sampler writes TO the disk) should be SHORT, until you reach the single sequence that is SCREWED up. Everything else you have is now salvaged. This "problem" sequence you have to re-record. Sorry. Basically, this is not so much of a fix as a work-around by not using the "SAVE SONG & ALL SEQUENCES" command. It just saved my life tonight, so I thought I'd share it. WHAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE? Well, technically nothing should, but the world is not a perfect place, as illustrated by the fact that people actually pay to hear Celine Dion sing. Oh well. In my experience, what causes this foul and most annoying error are APPENDING SEQUENCES to one another. You'll know if something has gone awry if the sampler takes an UNUSUALLY LONG TIME to perform this simple task. If you append a 4 bar to a 4 bar sequence and you find yourself waiting, chances are something might have gone wrong.

Hey there folks, I'm new to this mailing list, so please don't lynch me for asking a silly question that you've probably had to answer 1,000 times or more :) I've had my ASR for about 3 years now, and it has worked great ever since i got it. Just recently, I had an epiphany and realised that I can use my ASR WITH my computer (Imagine that!!???). However, since I am pretty new to the whole ASR-PC interface thing I'm not quite sure what the best software is or where to get it. I mainly just want to be able to copy sounds from the ASR to my computer, mess with them in a wav editor, and then copy them back to the ASR (or vice-versa). I have been to the Rubber Chicken page (which is in bad need of someone who nows how to write HTML properly...heh) and found quite a few neat little utilities for doing just about everything EXCEPT what I just mentioned. The only thing I found even remotely close was SoundVert1.0. Is this the only thing out there for converting wavs to something ASR-compatible? Assuming I do actually get a sound converted properly, how do I get my ASR to read an IBM disk (or get the PC to read an ASR disk, for that matter)? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone else have this problem with the ASR-10 and found a way around it? When I copy a stereo linked wavesample from one instrument to another, the incoming wavesample messes up the key allocation of the receiving layer. It makes the Copy Wavesample function unuseable when the STEREO LINK LAYER is on. I've got around this by turning the link off, editing and copying and then turning it on again. My guess is it's a software bug. Or have I missed something? Also - I'm finally considering a software sequencer too (to run on my Classic II). I was following recent discussion with interest. I like to be able to use plenty of unusual control numbers assigned to faders, and use the ASR-10 for theatre sound design as much as I do for songs (I've been using an old Yamaha QX5 for many years - yeah I know, but it works & it's portable!). From my research it seems to be between Logic, Cubase or Performer. Any thoughts? Cheers!

Donno about the EPS, but on the ASR you should use Mod Type = START, Mod Src = KBD (on the Edit/Wave page). Notice that the middle C corresponds to value 0 of the modulator (see page 239 of the manual), so you'll probably need to tweak both modulation amount and sample start.

I'm dying to hear the Drumstation and ESQ sounds, but Now Bob is closing in a little on which files he refer to. To find out which files are big in Petteris archive, I have to download them to find out which are big and which are not. That's no problem for me since I can download at a speed of 50-60 kbyte/sec! from Petteri. Let's look at an example:The Drumstation file called http://www.elma.net/~ihalaine/dskit1.efe The file is about 1.5 MB when you have downloaded it, You should also get some clues from looking at Petteri's description, which says "disk 1/2" meaning "1 out of 2". The file contains the first part of an ASR instrument called "DS DRUMS 2". The file is that part of the instrument which can fit on a 1.6 MB Ensoniq floppy; it was saved to such a floppy and then transferred out of the floppy and saved as an EFE file. The second part of the instrument is in the file http://www.elma.net/~ihalaine/dskit2.efe You will need both files. None of these files can be used alone. It is my opinion that it can be a little too difficult for most people to deal with this and all the cheers that Petteri deserves for putting up these files could unfortunately be masked ( by a dense sound layer made from a sample of the quotation with no punctation marks and sighs over longwinded relies) The files were saved with a program that does not use multidisk files. There are no indications of these beeing multidisk files in the files themselves, so you have to put that info in yourself. I don't know if you can do that on the PC other than by putting the bytes in manually in a hex sector editor. ( I think you have to do that in this case.) Normally I would splice the two files and put it onto an Ensoniq cartridge. I have tools which will splice multidisk files together to one, but they only work if the files themselves have indications they are multidisk files, So I would have to do it manually or I would have to do it with floppies and with EPSm. I can give you some indications for the Mac case with the above file as an example, but not limiting the case to ASR, So we describe a procedure applicable for EPS, EPS 16+ and ASR (includuing TS ) Download the above files as suggested by Petteri ( Press and hold the link, choose "Save this Link As..", then choose "Source" as the format, if using NetScape, If not, your files are mingled beyond any repair ) If you have not set up your WWW browser to handle EFE files, It would be a good idea to pick one instrument you had saved with EPSm, then select the two files you downloaded and drag all onto Filetyper to change the type of all. You don't have to, but it's easier. (see footnote *1) You would launch EPSm and make a new EPS2 image, then you would put those EFEs we downloaded into it.( It turns out the instrument will be split in 4.) If you EPSfile/fetch the dskit1.efe, then you will be told the file is too big to fit in the image and you will be asked if you want to split it. Answer yes and the file is split; the first part is put in the image (*2) and the second on your hard disk (*1). Name the spillover "DS DRUMS 2-part2" You then write the image to an Ensoniq floppy and load it into your sampler. To get the second part into your sampler, just erase the instrument in the image and fetch the file "DS DRUMS 2-part2". Again you will be told that this file is too large to fit in the image and you select to split it. The instruments' second part is placed in the image and the third part on your hard disk with the default name "DS DRUMS 2-part3". Write out the image again - the same floppy will be fine - and load in the sampler. For the ASR and the 16+ it is enough to insert the floppy and hit enter while on the classic you have to load the instrument into the correct track. Now you may erase the instrument in the floppy again and fetch the 3rd part into it and write to floppy and put into the sampler. All the files you have loaded now have had a multifile index, and the index was generated correctly by EPSm. Now there is still a piece left of the instrument; it is in the file dskit2.efe you downloaded. So again clear your image, fetch the file into it. That part of the instrument does not have a multifile index, however it should have had one. The multifile index need to be 4. We set that directly in EPSm by selcting the instrument and select the menu EPSfile/Multifile index and just enter 4 . Then you write the image to a floppy and load the instrument. Biggies can create big replies. Ha det Terje Footnote(*1) The Mac filetype of the leftover from a split will be the same as that of dskit1.efe. You won't see the file in EPSm unless the name ends in .efe or the Mac type is set appropriately. Footnote(*2) The multifile index is shown in the image window. In versions 158-160 there is a "spillover" of letters. So to see this number correctly you may have to hit cmd-M to bring up the Multifile index dialog, it always shows it correctly. It is fixed in 161. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

If so, I have a job to do... to extract the sounds the correct way. Hex editing was not my intention. The epsdisk does inform that (in a case of 2 disk sound) that the first disk is index1 and the second is index2. I can't remember if I have tested them , but I have a feeling that I did infact test the multiple disk thing... Let me know if you do have to hex edit those files so that I can correct the problem. AND there's one thing that I haven't remembered. Why on earth I haven't zipped the sounds... Seems that my IQ has dropped dramatically during the last couple of months... So during this week I'll gzip (not pkzip) the sounds. Gzip software as I remember should be downloadable from the oakland archive. Gzip because I work in an UNIX environment.

Can whoever > posted it do so again? I still need help bad . . . . . Emily, Mine wasn't the response that you're searching for, but here's a tip re. EPS/Hum. If you're using ANY SCSI array with your EPS, this could be the source of your hum. Ensoniq uses the Apple spec for its SCSI port, which is a real stripped versiion of the original. The original SCSI spec called for a 50 conductor cable, where every signal in the cable had its own associated ground wire. The Apple spec removes most of these ground wires which makes the SCSI I/F a real good source of hum, noise and all-around interference. The easy fix, is to get one of those 25-pin (serial) switch boxes. Get one of the cheaper (manual) AB boxes - don't use an automatic one. Make sure that the spec on it says that all 25 lines are switched. When you have your sequence all loaded and you're ready to dump it to tape, use the AB box to switch away from the SCSI buss. Most of the EPS's hum and racket will disappear.

I got 3.53 operation system. I think the ASR's desktop would be easyier to use, if : - - More error messages (sometimes, it was frozen, when the file is corrupt, and no error response about it) - - RESET Key combination. If ASR frozen, there would be a key combination, what can reset the system and reboot, like the Panic combination (FX-Select+NO/cancel) - - The cancel button would ALWAYS works. When ASR's making a 'long time' command, there would be a way to cancel it. - - Enhanced FileSystem. The 38 files in a directory is sometimes too small, for example : /samples/noises/ It would be a lot ot noise instruments. - - More PC compatibility. ASR would read/write PC formatted disks/SCSI devices. I know the EDM is a good prog, but it's more accessible, when i can copy/move files with their directory structure, like the norton clones. - - Direct copy from Floppy to SCSI. Sometimes there's an instrument, what is bigger than a floppy disk, and it must load to ASR and save to SCSI. - - Linux filesystem module. Linux is a free, but the most powerful op.system for pc. It's a unix system. There's a lot of filesystem module for it, which able to mount a formatted drive, like Mac, Atari, and a lot more. If there would be an ASR filesystem Module for it, it's the easiest way to manage the ASR's Hard= Drive. - - Complete ASR program to most used platforms (PC and MAC) A program, what able to manage the ASR via SCSI (like the SMDI Transfer in Kurzweils and E-MUs). It would be a program, like the ASR/EPS Tools from Rubber Chicken Software, and shows/sets all of the ASR's settings, load/erase instument, send/get instrument from PC via SCSI, and lots more. So, all the settings, and EVERYTHING can be set from a computer. - - Wavesample playing without keyboard. OK, i know, the 'enter plays ....' setting will be played, but it would better, when i press enter key, there will a question : - -> What wavesmp want to play?

Ensoniq posts conservative compatibility approvals. In their words, they want it to work "out of the box". I can understand that. I have found that the EZ drive will work with the Original EPS, but... 1) You probably have to have the 2.40 ROM installed. 2) You might need a in-line terminator positioned at the EPSm's SCSI jack. 3) You might need a plug terminator attached to spare port of the EZ drive. 4) EZDrives were dicontiued last year. Perhaps they might be hard to find. 5) A high percentage of EZ Drives we had in stock broke for some reason - I regard the Zip as more reliable. 6) Even if you get the above points right, it still may not work. The Original EPS's SCSI is erratic. BUT... There are quite a few Original EPS owners that use the EZ - I sold quite a few. So don't give up.

No, this has been a problem several system versions back. I think 2.0 came with the ASR? I had this problem back in '94. The *solution* to this mess is to use a pc-based sequencer. Don't waste any more time with the ASR's onboard sequencer if you plan to do elaborate sequences. Sicne I program house music, usualy around 124BPM(beats per minute), the ASR simply can't handle switching off and on so many note events at a common point. So I now use Logic for Mac, and eliminates problems like th one you're having. The only negative experience I've noticed with using midi-sequencing software is sometimes too many midi events sent will cause the ASR to lock up. Oh yeah, it if doesn't crash the ASR, it could cause some midi notes to become stuck, or even select the wrong patch select. But this doens't happen often. If you sequence jazz, r&b, hip hop, or something with a significantly lower BPM, maybe you can hang on to the ASR's onboard sequencer. Anything else, for reliability, use a pc-based midi sequencer. I know the above is garbled..I'm still lagged from my flight.

Please excuse my ignorance, as this may be a basic question for most. I have a TS-12, an Alesis QS-6, a Roland Juno-2, an old Roland sampler, and an Emu piano module, along with a Pentium 133 PC. I've successfully hooked up each keyboard individually to my sound card via MIDI, but I've had some problems combining via MIDI Thru, etc. I won't get into the details; let me just say what my goal is: I'd like to have everything connected via MIDI, with the TS-12 as the main controller, but also being able to do sound editing on both the TS-12 and the QS-6 on the PC (I have Unisyn for the QS-6, and I'll be purchasing something for the TS-12 soon). To do this with one keyboard seems easy to me -- just send the MIDI In and Out of the keyboard to the sound card (I guess this is what's known as a MIDI loop)... but how do I handle more than one? Do I need some sort of MIDI patch bay, or switcher? Basically, I want to sequence on the PC having all of my sounds from my various modules available to me, and also be able to do sound editing on the TS-12 and the QS-6.

Please excuse my ignorance, as this may be a basic question for most. I have a TS-12, an Alesis QS-6, a Roland Juno-2, an old Roland sampler, and an Emu piano module, along with a Pentium 133 PC. I've successfully hooked up each keyboard individually to my sound card via MIDI, but I've had some problems combining via MIDI Thru, etc. I won't get into the details; let me just say what my goal is: I'd like to have everything connected via MIDI, with the TS-12 as the main controller, but also being able to do sound editing on both the TS-12 and the QS-6 on the PC (I have Unisyn for the QS-6, and I'll be purchasing something for the TS-12 soon). To do this with one keyboard seems easy to me -- just send the MIDI In and Out of the keyboard to the sound card (I guess this is what's known as a MIDI loop)... but how do I handle more than one? Do I need some sort of MIDI patch bay, or switcher? Basically, I want to sequence on the PC having all of my sounds from my various modules available to me, and also be able to do sound editing on the TS-12 and the QS-6. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Graham" Subject: EPS: Re: VocalEffectsUnits > Could anyone recommend a good effects unit for VOCALS? I love the Lexicon equipment. Lexicon LXP5 or LXP1 (preferably the LXP5). Not nearly as expensive as their PCM80, but still pristine sonically. Their ALEX processor was quite nice as well, though not as refined. However, the onboard processor on the ASR (basically a DP2) is almost as pristine, and has a wider range of available effects algorithms. I've also used an Alesis Quadraverb on vocals with much success, but it's not *nearly* as clean or organic as Lexicon's stuff. (But much less expensive than most of their units.) Alesis has a whole new line of processors out now - you might want to check their web page (I don't remember the URL offhand, but there's a link at http://www.synthzone.com.) - Russ ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

(note: the ASR drift problem exists no matter what song i try) also, i tried another ASR10. same 2 problems... drift and crashing. what's the deal? any more suggestions? anyone else experience this? it would be real strange to me if no one else has had this problem (don't a lot of people sync to SMPTE?) anyone use the same type of setup (SMPTE stripe converted to MIDI clock with SPP), and -not- have these problems? if i buy a new sync box, will i still have these problems (i want to use a SMPTE stripe still, for various reasons)? because the EPS doesn't have problems syncing, i'm inclined to believe the problem is in the ASR10... could there be a hardware or software upgrade i don't know about that takes care of it? right now i'm using my buddy's EPS as the sequencer, and my ASR strictly as a sound source. if this is the only way for my situation to work, i'll be kind of disappointed, but i can probably live with it. with a little extra effort, i get the solid clock of the EPS and the fuller and crisper sound of the ASR. life would be much simpler though, if i could depend on the ASR alone to just sync up and stay in sync, and i wouldn't have to use 2 boards to accomplish what i expect from one. once again, all tips/advice/shared experience are appreciated in advance. thanks & =peace= scott ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

What I was doing was laying each track from the sequencer onto separate tape tracks, because I don't have multiple outputs on the EPS. (This was tedious, involving multiple passes with only one instrument playing back on any one pass -but I had 16track tape so had enough tracks to play with). Once all the tracks were on tape, I would leave just the drum track playing as a 'live virtual track' on the EPS sequencer, but I found that I would get subtle timing errors between the drum track from the sequencer and the tape tracks, and sometimes between the different tape tracks...... The errors were never big, but enough to destroy the groove or feel of a track in an annoying way. Ive no doubt this was all due to the variations in processing power which were going on as I replayed the same song with different tracks playing each time. The end result after several years of putting up with this is that I've now gone over to Cubase on PC and am trying to find an OEX-8 -in other words do things properly! Mind you, I hear a lot of comments that the OEX8 is noisey, so this may not be the end of my problems......

Maybe I didn't catch the point, but to me the solution would be to send your ASR-sounds to AUX1 (because you don't need the FX - which you can't route to this out anyway). The effected Git-signal would then use the main-out alone. The easiest way to set routings can be found in the Edit*Track-page (OUT=xxx). These settings get saved within the Bank-files and are independent from the basic wavesample-settings. Simply cross-change your cables from AUX1 und BUS1 afterwards ... ;-) Hope this helps.

Thank you very much. The problem is that there's an "authorized Ensoniq dealer" in Moscow which has no idea about anything. Whenever I call'em they keep saying "please call tomorrow". And, after all, I'm located in a city 600 km away from Moscow which leads to rather costly phone bills. So this list is the only source of information for me. Okay, so much for that. My next question is what kind of current hard drives are compatible with the EPS and how much are they? I'm planning to travel down to the Netherlands real soon and I would like to get one while i'm there in the "outer world":)) i also heard that EPS classic is a problem when it comes to SCSI, could anybody tell me more about it? Also, I would like to get my TS expanded to 8 megs, is there any way I could do it myself (I mean I used to do this to my PC, but TS takes Macintosh SIMMS and Mac is VERY rare over here) without the hassle of taking it over to Moscow?

The problem with this is that the keys won't hit the start of a word except by chance, cuz keyboard scales proportionally. The other more laborious routew would be to copy the sample parameters only to as many keys as you need samples, set the keyrange to one key each, and adjust the sample start for each sample differently.

When I was shopping for a Syncing device for my own studio I did a whole lot of reading on the subject - past Craig Anderton articles, etc. I decided to try the Midiman Syncman Pro. At the time, I was using EZ Midi Pro with a CMS 444 card on a PC. I don't know if you can hear the groans out there like I can - needless to say, this was an extremely 'flaky' setup. I found that the Syncman Pro would get me out of one problem after another. It can sync to fly specks on your analog tape instead of code. It'll even sync to the beginning of some bad code, then fill in the gaps for your MIDI slave. Whenever I used the Syncman Pro to sync my EPS Classic & EPS+, I never had a whit of a problem.

Just thought I'd let this information out for people who were interested in drive compatibility. The drive is cool because it can except the 135mb cartridges as well as the 230mb.

When you go into your various Wave/Layer Amp sections, if you scroll up past the PAN choices, you'll be faced with the various OEX output channels. This feature is multi-layered, and you can choose among individual samples, layers, or an entire side (left/right) to be sent to an expander output. When using drum sounds, you can send an individual drum to its own output. If you've ever worked with an Akai, the versatility of the EPS will blow your mind.

You'll never get tired of the sound of the ASR-X. [IMAGE] Resampling The ASR-X offers resampling functionality like no other product. Sound parameters can be tweaked to your liking, routed through the Insert Effect or Built-in Reverb, and recorded at the Main Outputs digitally. Use this power to create audio loops from sequences you've previously recorded. Add effects to individual pieces within a drum kit, then use another effect algorithm in your final mixdown. You can even mix the A/D to any effects bus, play a sequence, jam along on the pads, and resample the whole thing! [IMAGE] Unique Effects Algorithms All of the brilliance of the MR family effects algorithms are represented in the ASR-X. A Global Reverb is always available with 8 models for Plates, Halls, Rooms, and Huge Places. The Insert Effects has 40 algorithms with 4 variations each available. EQ, Reverb, Chorus, Flange, DDL, Distortion, Tunable Speaker, Chatter Box, Vocal Morph, and Autowah presets are included to add character to each resampling session. [IMAGE] Disk File Compatibility Gone are the days of custom disk formats and incompatible disk files. The ASR-X uses standard file formats for sequences (SMF) and samples (AIFF) to ease the transition of data to your computer, or other compatible device. Once you come up with that killer groove, save the sequence to disk, and load it into your computer sequencer. Play it back into the ASR-X over MIDI while playing a guitar riff into the audio input. Resample all of that. Save to disk. You get the idea. [ASR-X Home] [ASR-X Specifications] [Ensoniq Home] _________________________________________________________________ © 1997 ENSONIQ Corp.

That's the problem with all (except for high-end) cassette decks is the non-random access. I think (don't know for sure) most DAT decks allow you to randomly search for a track number.

The reason why I ask is that the Cooper, as I recall (at least the model I have) only reads 30 fps non-drop frame (the American TV standard). If the ADAT generated code with a different rate (it should be selectable), then I think this could create the symptoms you're seeing.

Looking at the specs for the ASR-X as, I suppose, many of us have, I have to say I'm disappointed with the what I see. It seems that a few changes for the better have been made but overall nothing resoundingly new. Dennis raised a couple of major points (the RAM and the low polyphony) where the ASR still doesn't appear up to par. There is no mention of a rack or keyboard version with these improvements, so I guess the ASR-X will be not necessarily be the proto-machine for a new line. I can honestly say that adding the stupid drum pads made me think of those old sampling drum machines and silly things like the MC303. The ASR-X is more like the all-in-one, shake and bake groove box than a real "production station"-type sampler. From the copy on the Web site, it appears that Ensoniq is pandering heavily to DJ-hiphop rap-house users which not all Ensoniq users are. I feel sort of "cheated" that I waited anxiously for a new Ensoniq sampler to come out, and along comes this toy for DJs... Any thoughts?

Seems as though we got "me-too"'d out of a new product. The DJ 303-knock- offs have been quite the rage in Europe over the last couple years, but that was predictable when actual 303s were going for $1000 a piece on rec.music.synth. In comparison to some of the other offerings in the genre, ASR-X is excellent. In terms of a new sampler, it kinda bites. Dennis, the original poster, cynically expressed pessimism regarding Ensoniq's likelihood of producing a box with a decent sounding resonance filter. This seemed a little unfounded to me since, although their interface and architecture design has been pretty much non-existent since the EPS days, they've always put out good-sounding* products. If the resonant filters are anywhere *near* as good as my ESQ-1's, they'll blow half of the digital resonant filters on current products out of the water. Roland hasn't done a decent reso-filter since the '106. A couple of other thoughts: A) I doubt that they've even got a prototype done yet. New features may still be implemented. B) I gotta hope that they've incremented processors. What's in the ASR-10? A 68010? Its not fast enough -- not for all the new features they've hack-and-bashed onto our poor, ancient operating system. C) I'm not in the market for a new sampler. If you spend a couple thousand on a musical instrument, it'd better be good for awhile, least at my income level. I'd sure-as-heck pay up to about $600 for an upgrade, though. Reso-filters alone would be worth that much. Plus the .AIFF and .SMF file compatibility. Fat chance, I know, but you gotta pray for something. Also wish that they'd either put the output expanders on their products or leave it off. This biz of charging the consumer $200 for a small PC board and a couple of connectors when the main engineering is already done is lame. SCSI, too. You can't get any of the other samplers without SCSI anymore. Its not an option, its a neccesity. Oh, and I bet the first year you see a lot of burn-in on the keyboard "pads." That just seems like its asking for trouble. Come on Ensoniq, put out a keyboard and rack of this thing, if you're gonna do it at all. -Jj / tree@acm.cs.umn.edu "Dot seeg?!

[...] This is true (and a wise change in Ensoniq's philosophy), but it's not the whole truth. The charm of a "sampler" in our sense of the word is the ability to _modulate_ digital audio in realtime. Or let me put it that way: I think that the more interesting part of a sampler are its synthesizing capabilities, not the simple playback-mode. I don't like to edit a sample first and program an "Instrument" around the sample later. Ideally, this should be an interactive process, where one step heavily relies on the other. How can I make a decision on parameters like sample-start, "destructive" fade-outs etc., when I don't know yet if I'll use some sample-start-modulation, or a very peculiar AMP-envelope, for example. Not to talk about the possibilities of doing visual edits "on the fly" - on stage, for example (... changing loop-points of rhythm-loops, for example.) This way of working is the opposit of doing "wave-editing" first and "parameter-tweaking" afterwards - although I am forced to do it myself from time to time. _If_ I'm in the need of straight sample-playback (... the often-quoted backing-vocals for the average popsong ;-) come to my mind ...), I choose a dedicated hard-disk recording system for this task whenever I have the chance to do so. Bottom line: I second the critics about a small, non-graphic display (... what's the final word for the ASR-X? can it show waveforms? envelopes? filter-characteristics?). At least I hoped to see a dedicated RGB-out for full-sreen-editing attached directly to the machine. Sigh .... My 0.02 ...

The sample rate can be reduced, considering the crappy frequency response of the sound. As I recall (it's been 10 years for me, too) the conversion process is kinda weird. It converts the entire Mirage "instrument" (either lower or upper) into a single EPS wavesample. It then creates many parameter-only copies of this wavesample, each with a different sample start point into the original sample data. If you only care about a single sample in the instrument, deleting these "copies" won't reduce the instrument size. You need to find that "master" sample and edit it.

It's been my experience that you will never get it to work with an EPS. What happens, is that the EPS's initial drive search (when the EPS is booting) is "real rude", and it "hangs" the interface board on the drive. There's no way that you'll ever get the two to talk to each other (in my opinion). Drives that I typically had this problem with on an EPS were ones manufactured by Western Digital, and needed drivers to be loaded when being used on the MAC. I've found the Conner and Seagate XXXXN (n for intelligent) drives are the easiest to configure for the EPS. In my studio rig, I use three different hard drives - 2 Seagate and one 250mB Conner that are arrayed. I use a 25-pin ABCD switch to switch the drives between an EPS classic, and a 16+. When I'm dumping a sequence to tape, I use one of the empty channels on the ABCD switch so that the HUMMMMM coming from the EPS is greatly reduced.

Actually, the output expander includes extra converters (right?) - 200$ for something with 6 extra D/A's is so cheap that personally i'd have nightmares of 5532 sound. I'd prefer 6 AES/EBU outs. And that raises a question - WHY do all the digital I/O card manufacturers charge so much for a couple high-speed serial ports? We were looking at designing our own and found that it could be done very inexpensively - but reinventing the wheel is boring. Oh well. > SCSI, too.

Well, I don't mind paying $500 cdn for a scsi interface, but i'd really prefer if it was well designed at that price point.

Those who want >or need can buy. Seems like a real good idea to me. Maybe what he is implying, which I think is a better idea, is that you buy you the keyboard/rack WITH the expander OR WITHOUT, much like the Kurzweil samplers. If you need it, you get it on the machine when you buy it; not this silly box, connected by a feeble cable, that you have to order separately and find someplace near your sampler to put. >>You can't get any of the other samplers without >>SCSI anymore. Its not an option, its a neccesity. > >For you. For me. Not for a lot of people. I wholly disagree. Larger samples, large volumes of samples, hard disk recording, need for speed. I think SCSI should not be an option; it should be standard. Even if you prefer doing everything by floppy, at least you'll ALWAYS have the opportunity to hook up to larger storage devices for backup or whatever. Plus, you won't have to fret if in your part of the world they even sell the SCSI port (or if you'll have to pay some exhorbitant price for it), or trying to find a place that will install it or even know what it is. It'll be on your machine, ready for use. >>Come on Ensoniq, put out a keyboard and rack of this thing, if you're gonna >>do it at all. > >Wait, I need to understand something. You think the product is shit, but >you want your shit rack-mounted? Perhaps you like a WEIGHTED ACTION >KEYBOARD on your shit. I think he was reacting more to the fact that Ensoniq's new sampler is neither rack nor keyboard but instead a DJ device suited (exclusively) for live performance. My hope would be that if Ensoniq does put out keyboard and rack versions of this new sampler, that it would have MORE improvements over the ASR-X since its focus would be different and, I feel, more demanding than a live performance device.

Just because folks have some criticisms of a product and/or company doesnt mean they are completely rejecting it. Heck, I write bug reports to microsoft about glitches in win nt, but I still use it, and support the win32 architecture (I can feel the flames on the analogy already). Ensoniq has some good ideas. IMHO they started out as a humble, small company that rapidly responded to the market and even the individual consumer (I was at their factory for one of the infamous VFX keyboard mods, and they did it while I waited). I agree with some of the other folks here that they havent put anything that is NEW and EXCITING together for some time. I have a VFX and TS12, but the synth industry is evolving at a mindboggling rate - as is software in general, and (again IMHO) they need to come out with some HOT NEW features if they are going to stay in the race. As a software developer, I like user feedback - especially if the user is telling me about an enhancement or major functionality change that would REALLY help them do their job better (a user that aint complaining about something is a complacent one, or a confused one!) ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

The two Ensoniq products I bought New From The Store: the VFX and ASR-10R have both given me problems in terms of circuit board failings and the like, requiring multiple trips to a service center and the accompanying downtime. The repairs were done reasonably quickly; the Ensoniq reps were very helpful in getting me back up and running, but again, these problems cropped up in regular use (i.e., sequencing in my home studio , not on the road, or being moved from location to location)! It occurred to me that of all my Roland, Yamaha, Alesis, Mackie, Akai, and Ensoniq gear, ONLY the VFX and ASR have ever required factory service. Oddly enough, my second hand Ensoniq gear (EPS classic, EPS 16+, and Mirage rack) have always worked flawlessly (?????????) Since I'm reading that there are Ensoniq engineers 'lurking', please take note... reliability is an issue with me, and I'm sure there are many others who don't love the product so much that we'll put up with excessive downtime and repeated trips to the service center! Their end-user service is probably the best in the industry, and was my main motivation to take my chances again with an ASR after my VFX nightmare, but I'll have to do a LOT of careful research before I invest another $2- or 3K in an Ensoniq product.

To all, i wrote to the list a couple times with problems i was having with my ASR10 drifting when synced to SMPTE. thanks for the many replies... today i stumbled upon the source of the problem, hopefully this will be useful to somebody in the future, and keep them from having to go thru some of the trouble i have in the past couple weeks... for some reason, when you take a disk of samples and sequences from an EPS classic, and load them into an ASR10, the samples and sequences seem to play back fine, -EXCEPT- the sync problems show up when synced to an external clock source... looking into the event edit page for a drum track, i noticed that the note values were shifted a couple clocks (the sequencer also has a different resolution than the EPS). even after shifting them back, and after quantizing the tracks in the sequence, the ASR10 sequencer would still drift (this is using song mode) but for some reason, if you just erase all the songs & sequences, and play the same notes over again into the ASR10 (basically starting over and recording a new sequence, just with the same notes), the sync problem disappears. so if you just write the sequences on the ASR10 to begin with (like most people), you have no problem. but if you're taking disks from an EPS and expecting them to work 100% just by loading them up into the ASR10 (like i was), that's a different matter. so, if anybody encounters or plans to encounter the same situation as i did (going from an EPS to an ASR10), either hold on to your EPS for stuff you created on your EPS (at least for the sequencer side of things... if you have both an ASR and an EPS, you can use the EPS's sequencer to trigger the ASR's sounds), or re-do your sequences (don't have to redo the sounds) over fresh on the ASR. =peace= scott p.s. keep an ear out for the Mountain Brothers, a new hip-hop group on Ruffhouse/Columbia, later this year. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

It's possible that it isn't accurate, I've never personally seen figures in PRINT or anything, but I believe what I was told and had supported. Let's say, just hypothetically, that it's an exaggeration - that they've only sold 80% of the total of all other companies' units - is that not still impressive? The key to understanding the magnitude of this, and a fact that seems most elusive to the most frustrated among us here on this list, is that the majority of people who buy these products are "casual" users, weekend warriors who have a much more, ummm, practical approach to the instrument than do a bunch of geeks like myself who stay up past 2AM typing this shit just cause we dig our toys. Chances are they've never tried assigning an x-controller, or messing with the sys-ex codes to simulate button presses, or testing the analog inputs by going "command-env 1", seeing "no commands on page", and having the temerity to go "right arrow" to discover a whole new world of shit with which you could fuck up your sampler for life! These are "Plug-in and play" folks (or rather, plug-in, load a disk, and play) that make up the majority of music instrument customers. Mind you, I'm not saying anything bad at all about those people, not passing judgement in any way, I just think that most people have a somewhat distorted view, based on their own personal interest in the products, of who the primary purchasers of these devices are. That's the sermon for the evening. The ushers will now begin passing the donation baskets...

Yes, you have found a source of error. Just notice that the important thing is that you load an EPS sequence into the ASR. And when you do, then errors will show up wether you use external sync or not. An EPS classic sequence is converted -on the fly- to an ASR sequence when you load it. There are bugs in that conversion. Due to one of the bugs. it will take the ASR 3 clock pulses more to complete a sequence than it should. This is a common source of sync errors on the ASR. It will be most noticable when you have a sequence you repeat many times. The ASR will then lag more and more behind the actual beat. This again will be the more noticable when you can hear something else that is rock steady going on at the same time. For example if you try to sync the ASR to another sequencer;then the ASR will lag behind wether it is the slave or the master. Similarly if your song contained songtracks (the sequences running for the whole length of your song ) then the songtracks and the individual sequences would be out of sync if you had sequences repeating. I think there is no way to correct this error from the frontpanel of the ASR. I have saved the converted song/sequence and corrected the file, and of coarse tested that the correction causes the sequences to sync as they should. It may not directly help you to know, An alternative to redo everything on your ASR, is to record everything off the EPS by MIDI and into one single long sequence. Ha det Terje There are several things in the ASR sequences which are off by 3 clock pulses. I thus propose a new unit of relative time - an Ensoniq comma - of exactly that relative duration. Let's hope that this unit of relative time corresponds to smaller absolute time intervals - as time pass by. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Tap out the beats with your hands while you're listening, stop the tape and go to your EPS/ASR and try to imitate what you hear. Really focus on getting what you need from the music to make your own music. Sample some drum fills from old funk tapes/records/CDs (James Brown, Parliament for intros,) and use the Time Compression effect on them (to speed them up without changing their pitch; that's what the archetypal Jungle beat is made from anyhow, and then augmented with MIDI/samples from that loop, starting the loop at different points, etc.) Not only will this ultimately give you a much more organic, process-oriented, and creatively empowering view as to how the beats are made, as well as developing your own rhythmic sense, but in listening to the tapes you'll hear other elements of the music besides the beat that form the context for a good Jungle track; you'll be learning how to do the whole thing from the foundation up without spending money to have someone show you only a small slice of something, in a way that's very peripherally related to how the music is actually made. Also: you'll be learning how to assimilate a musical style into your sensibility on your own, from the source material, an ability that is going to make you a more powerful and self-sufficient composer.

Thanks, Chris I am about to try Hi-Fi VHS this Thursday. I believe this is the most convenient, practical, cheapest way. It is not really necessary to have DAT or CD quality audio in a gig, since the sound systems and the bad acoustics usually steal most of what these systems offer. VHS is almost CD quality and is more rugged and reliable, and you can synchronize video with your audio in the same tape!! I think VHS has a lot going for it, especially if you are into live video shows.

I haven't been able to figure out how to make a "photocopy" of the disk since I obviously can't use any of the Syquest disk utilities on the ASR. I also can't just hook the EZ drive up to my computer and copy it that way because the disk is ASR formatted. I seem to have a classic catch-22 here. So I guess my questions boil down to this: - -What would be the best way for me to make backup copies of my Syquest disks? - -What software would I need in order to do this? - -What actual hardware connections (if any) would I need to make in order to do this?

The easiest way would be to connect a second ezi drive to your asr. Then use the BACKUP/RESTORE function in the asr.The big issue is at some point you have to find the buckup disk space. Weather it be Floppies(which is also possible with the asr) or some other sort of hard drive(more expensive) . You don't say which type of computer you have. (Mac or PC). I use a mac and the choices here are several. All of the require using Terje's great program, EPSm. One you have this program (shareware) then the only question is which storage device. I us e a syquest 270 on my ASR and backup to my mac HD using EPSm. I am about to try using a friends CD burner to not just backup but to replace some full 270mb platters that I have. This I believe (I have not tried it yet) is possible. If you need more info mail me. cu ===/===/===/===/===/===/===/===/ Paul Najar JAMINAJAR Production . Composition . Arrangement .

We have serious problems here, so if anyone got any idea what so ever, please reply. We have an ASR10 and a TS10 and use an AMIGA 1200 as a sequencer. Everything works fine with the ASR but the TS10 does not recieve MIDI signals correctly. It seems like the signals it cut randomly. It can work for a few seconds and suddenly all notes are cut. This happens even at one voice. For instence, a long string can cut in the middle of the waveform. The midi settings is correct as far as I can see and we tested 2 different midi interfaces, different midi cables, 2 different Amigas and 2 different sequencers (Octamed and Bars&Pipes). Same error. The natural conclusion here is that there is something wrong with the TS10 midi. So we went to the store and asked them to repair it. But they said there was nothing wrong and it wasn't. It worked fine with Cubase and other sequencers on a PC. Is the TS10 alergetic to the Amiga or what? Remember that the ASR and the Amiga always worked fine together.

I think VHS has a lot going for it, especially if >you are into live video shows. This is true - VHS HiFi is the best non-digital medium you can get. I've had some tunes broadcast on local radio that I recorded on HiFi. And the better VCRs have an "index search" feature to allow you to find a song - however it's usually relative to your current location - not absolute. The reason I wouldn't use my good HiFi deck, though, is the nasty environment (mainly smoke) of the bar scene might add wear and tear to your video head. This is even more of a concern since video tapes aren't sealed like fixed hard drives and the medium actually comes into contact with the head. However, if you're using the VCR primarily for gigging and not much else, then go for it. Second-hand HiFi VCRs are certainly cheap enough to be considered a consumable item. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I am new on this mailing list as I never knew it exsisted until recently when I found a major bug in my EPS 16 +. I use my EPS mainly in a live situation,I do my sequencing on an Atari Falcon running Cubase Audio and then download them in one 8 track seq.This has worked wonderfully for a couple of years untill I tried to do one at 115 BPM.Every thing seemed to be fine.I could record the seq,save it and the bank and even play it back. But if I loaded another seq of off the hard drive (Syquest 105 meg removeable) and then tried to load my original one ( the one thats at 115 BPM) the machine would lock up or I would get a File operation error.What really threw me was that the seq had worked perfectly previous to this at 112.I decided to add some vocal samples and increase the tempo.All of this was initially done in Cubase and then dumped into the EPS. I tried many different things to make this work but to no avail untill I realised it was the tempo that was causing the problem.By recording the same seq at 112 every thing is working fine. I still have a couple of little niggles , because of the file operation errors ,I now have files on my harddrive that I don't want and can't get rid of.Does any one know of some shareware disk utilites for the EPS that will work on either the Atari falcon or an IBM clone running Win95 or on the EPS itself that can fix these.I also downloaded some samples just recently that are GKH disk images but I cant seem to get software that will work under win95 to transfer them.

Actually, there is no demo for the Ensoniq Disk Tools (formerly TS Tools) available, except from within the Ensoniq MIDI-Disk Tools Beta Demo (formerly EPS/ASR Tools) on our web site. Let me know the troubles you are having, and we can help. The Ensoniq Disk Tools program is running great - it can read and write in .GKH and ED* formats, work with files (.INS and .EF* formats) and convert mono and stereo .WAV files. Accesses floppy and SCSI. You can look at the program within the beta, but it can only write to floppy - the reading, SCSI functions, and .WAV conversions have been taken out.

I know this has been discussed before and I _SHOULD_ be able to figure this out. Sheesh, I'm a Mac/PC systems admin by day and a hopeless musician by night, it SHOULD be easy! Grrrrrrr... Here's my setup: COMPUTER Power Macintosh 7500/100 SCSI ID 7 Quantum 1gb internal HD (mac formatted) SCSI ID 0 Seagate 2bg external HD (mac formatted) SCSI ID 1 CD-ROM internal SCSI ID 5 (I changed this from the factory setting of 3) SAMPLER ASR-10 SCSI ID 3 Iomega Zip Drive SCSI ID 6 I want to accomplish two things with this setup: 1. Utilize software tools on the Mac that allow SCSI or SMDI transfer of samples between the ASR and the Mac and vice versa, ie. Infinity, Alchemy or Peak. 2. Make a partition of the 2gb external drive an ASR partition to use for sample storage. These two things would predicate that I have all of the devices in the SCSI chain up and running at the same time. Unfortunately I have been unable to do so. None of the storage devices are terminated. My understanding is that the Mac and the ASR are both internally terminated and therefore need to be the endpoints of the SCSI chain. I have tried bringing the ASR up first, but it is unable to find any SCSI devices to boot from (I normally boot from a Zip disk). I have tried bringing the Mac up with both the external HD and the Zip disk on, then bringing the ASR up. The Mac freezes at that point. I've tried simultaneously booting the ASR and the Mac from their respective boot disks. The ASR can't find any SCSI boot devices and the Mac never gets past the startup screen. Any ideas? I'm willing to try anything at this point. Please send email as I'm not currently subscribed to the EPS list.

All it tells me is 'No Event Found'. Am i missing something being somewhat of a novice or is the TS-12 just incapable of editing parameters in this way? If it can't do this then is there any way of editing them on-board or through a Mac/PC package.

I was in a band a few years ago which completely relied upon sequencing for live performances. We ran into several situations where we had embarrassing "pauses" in our set due to our sequencer crashing, or a keyboard locking up, or stuck midi notes. Theoretically, a sequencer or midi rig should perform just as well live as it does at home or in the studio. Unfortunately, things usually don't work out that way. Due to fluctuations in power conditions at the venues you are playing, human error, plain old bad luck and 1,000 other variables you encounter at any live show, using midi live can be a risky proposition. Using live sequencing isn't all bad however. You do have more freedom when it comes to song arrangement and set order. You also tend to have a more "live" feel (at least YOU feel it) because you know that all the music is being produced right then on the spot. However, there are a lot of trade-offs involved. Since my experience with playing sequences live, I've moved on to bigger and better things (and bands for that matter). IMHO, if you are going to be sequencing music and then performing it live (rather than just performing everything live like your average "guitar-based" band), the best and most reliable all-around solution to the problems live-sequencing presents is to just use a pre-recorded medium such as a DAT, CD, VHS, etc. This method provides a lot of benefits with a lot less risk. It can even be nearly as flexible (granted you are willing to put in some time recording your set tapes). Although a prerecorded DAT may limit your ability to be "spontaneous" to some degree when performing, it does provides you with extremely high sound quality, extreme reliability, and lets you take your mind off worrying about whether the sequencer will hold out until the end of this set and think about more important things......like playing your live parts, for example ;) I could go on and on about this, but I don't think I need to. If I were you, I would invest in a reliable DAT machine, or Hi-Fi VHS machine and make a series of "set tapes" (obviously with just the sequencer tracks, and without any of the live parts you may be playing). with the songs in different orders or with different segways, etc. (this may or may not apply to you depending on what type of music you are making and what type of perfromance you are putting on). This is what my band does and we have had very good results. It sounds good, it's simple, and we have the option of doing a completely different set anytime we want. It's also very easy to mix, since we have pretty much already done the mixing and the soundman only has to worry about the two outputs coming from the DAT player. Hope this helps!

Using what? > Well, we never got quite in-depth with the DAT, but I'm sure it is possible. As far as VHS, I have never used it live. However, I have had friends in other bands who swear by it. In the case of the band I am in now, we usually record each song directly to DAT individually from the mixing board. After each song is on DAT, we then decide the order we want to put them in. What I am planning on doing in the future, to make the sets more seamless, is to sample each song in it's entirety from the DAT back onto my ASR-10 using the Disk Tracks feature (if anybody knows how to use Disk Tracks, please fill me in. I've been desperately trying to figure it out over the past few days and I lost my manual which explains how to sample directly to hard disk), then "remix" the songs inside the ASR and dump them onto my ADAT in the correct order with segways between songs on a separate set of tracks. This way, I can synchronize the segway music to the original songs and *TA-DAH* have a seamless set of non-stop music. Obviously we do put in a few breaks between songs here and thgere to take a breather and talk to the crowd....but having the songs leading into each other so smoothly keeps the energy level very high. As far as synchronizing lights and other midi equipment to a tape source, the only way I can think of to do it off the top of my head would be to use an ADAT (with all your sequences on it) and a JL Cooper DataSync synchronizer. This would start your midi lighting and other midi devices at the same time as your song starts on the ADAT. There may be other ways to do this though (if someone has any ideas, please correct me...I would like to know myself). The only problem with this scenario is you are involving midi sequencing (to some degree) with a live performance again.....which brings us back to the whole issue I was discussing before ;) Anyway...hope that helps! - -TyPe0 ||====> type0@primenet.com <======||-----------------------------|| ||==> type0@cyberhighway.net <====|| ThE_AnThRoPoMoRpHiC_ReDnEcK || || http://www.primenet.com/~type0 ||---------------------------- || ||--------------------------------|| T y P e 0 || ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Then sequence the song "samples" as a new "remixed" song. You could also just bounce the songs back and forth between two DATs digitally, but this tends to be messy and makes "blending" the songs together kind of difficult. A good multitrack recorder never hurt either, it makes synchronizing the songs and making segways a lot easier. :) - -TyPe0 ||====> type0@primenet.com <======||-----------------------------|| ||==> type0@cyberhighway.net <====|| ThE_AnThRoPoMoRpHiC_ReDnEcK || || http://www.primenet.com/~type0 ||---------------------------- || ||--------------------------------|| T y P e 0 || ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Well I've had some problems here and there, with crashes, and disc's refusing to load in live situations, but I've been lucky because even though the band I played with "BLISS" was sample sequencer based, if the midi gear died, then the rest of the band could jam while I reloaded, or sorted out the problems, and I also do my "DAMC" live techno/jungle stuff at raves, and 80% is live, with some tracks on DAT (used to load the next song/samples while I play small samples at the same time over the DAT)...so I have a DAT backup if the keyboard dies...my main problem has been with the disc drives ensoniq use in their samplers, I've had 3 replaced in the 7 or more years I've had my eps, but I've never been in a situation where the EPS has died completely and we have not been able to do or finish a show because of it, just watch out for bumps, and knocks to the keyboard on stage these tend to crash the machine, get a power surge protector too, and even the fuses inside, might be worth getting some spares of.....the allan key is your friend!! get one and keep it in a safe place, I've had to often open up my eps, when the disc drive is saying disc data corrupted to EVERY disc, and just make sure the ribbon cables are not touching the bottom of the spinning floppy drive part, and all the connectors are tightly attached to the mother board, this normally fixes things.......and also always carry back up disc's with you, and always get your disc's hand inspected at airports, don't walk through the metal detector, or put them through the x-ray machine (they say it's safe!! don't trust it!!) be happy you have an ensoniq!! we were doing a show up at Byron Bay during summer at the "Byron Bay Music Festival" which is north up the east coast of Australia..and it was 40 degrees celcius, and we were outdoors in the sun, under a small canvas tent...to say it was HOT!! was an understatement, it's also very humid and tropical up there too!!..anyway it's time for us to play, and the other member of my band has an Akai S2800, and I have my trusty EPS classic..guess what!!?? the akai packs it in, refuses to load any discs, loads part of samples - which end up having huge big audio spike/glitches in them!! so it was unusable - it was too hot for Mr Akai!! (later in a hotel room, the akai worked perfectly)...but for the gig in the HOT aussie sun...the EPS powered on with out a problem the whole set..I LOVE YA EPS!!!

Virtually every band I go to see anymore has either a sequencer running something on stage and/or generating some part of the performance. Even more often I see bands using DAT, CD, Digital Multitrack, and a variety of other recording formats to present the parts of their music which cannot be reproduced live. In the past year I have seen 16volt, Front Line Assembly, Acumen, Sister Machine Gun, KMFDM, Nine Inch Nails, and quite a few other bands. ALL of those bands used one of the methods above to present their music to the audience. And you know what? It sounded GREAT. I don't understand people who still hold to the old axiom "If you ain't playin' it live, it ain't for real". I thought that sort of mentality died out in the mid-80's. Most bands nowadays (at least the bands I listen to) have such complex layers of music happening simultaneously that it would be IMPOSSIBLE for them to even come close to recreating it live without the assistance of tools such as sequencers and tape machines. And that is just what they are too: tools. Just like a guitar, a drumset, or a microphone. The exact same amount of work (perhaps much more) went into someone programming that sequencer and mixing it down to tape as a guitarist doing his best Eddie Van Halen impression. I personally don't care how something is created live as long as it sounds good and is presented in a professional way. If the audience and performers are having a good time, who cares if the sequencer or DAT machine happens to be playing the 64th note triplets on the hi hat, or the 300bpm bass drum rolls, or the samples of donkeys fornicating with one another, etc., etc.. Anyway, I wish people wouldn't rush to judgement so fast. We might as well face it folks, the digital revolution is here, and it's been here for a while. There's nothing wrong with being retro, but if someone uses modern technology because they are trying to acheive a specific goal or sound in a live situation, I see nothing wrong with that. People don't use sequencers live because they are lazy or lack talent....they use them because they do something which cannot be done with anything else. Just my 2 centavos. Let the flames begin!!!!! w00p! - -TyPe0 On Tue, 11 Mar 1997 toddw@voicenet.com wrote: > While the stability of our synths is of vital interest to me, I find > it disturbing when I hear of people having bands that are > 'sequencer-based'.

MiniDisk is great, both in a backing tape situation and for that day when your sequencer decides to take an early supper break during a show. Take backup on the road. It'll save your pride, and much anxiety even if nothing ever goes wrong. Super VHS is great, but the new model minidisks have excellent sound quality, instant playback and very useful editing and playback features (programable playback, pausing at the top of the next track ready to go, etc.) Some of the earlier models I worked would would lock up if you did lots of editing, but I haven't experience that in a models made in the lst three years.

Hi there, This is a great source of information and opinion. There're always more subjects to follow up than I have time to pursue, but there's usually someone hot on the trail with a simimilar opinion to present. I'm having a problem that I haven't experience before. I'm using an ASR-10 onstage to soundscape a theatre piece, and am loading some pretty large size instruments into my 16meg RAM during the show organized into Banks. There's one Bankload where the ASR consistently freezes up - sometimes with garbled LED display, sometime it just won't go any further until I turn off the power and reboot. Always in the same place. I've tried a couple of things - loading Blank instruments to try and clear the RAM before loading the "Danger" bank; using the SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE RECORDER to erase the memory before trying to load the Bank. No good, when I try and lod the next Bank, off it goes. Anyone had this problem? Is it the "out-going" set of instruments that's causing the problem, or the new Bank? What I'll try and do next is load each of the instruments seperately. But it'd be great to know what was going on.

I've never tried it, but it doesn't sound like a bad idea. The only thing is that UPS units are generally kind of expensive (usually US$100 or more). Of course, if you're using it to protect your $3,000 keyboard or sequencing rig, I think it would be a pretty wise investment. > > Vlad > PS I will have to put the credits to the Eps mailing list on the sleeve of > my forthcoming CD;))))) thank you all for your everlasting support:) > Let us know when it comes out.

When you play out, do you use a PA? Inherent in amplification is an alteration of an instrument's acoustic tone. Most rock and roll instruments (drums obviously excluded) cannot be played without amplification. The electric guitar was initially considered kind of a freak instrument and only wheeled out for the odd novelty number. But I do know people who consider amplification impure. I think thats more than a tad regressive, myself, but to each their own. I don't like to play out without a drummer anymore. That's a visual aesthetic thing more than anything else. Audiences love to see sweat and grit, and most drummers have more of that than they know what to do with. There's also the "jam" element which is quite a bit easier with a human at the wheel. In my ensemble, Zurround, we use a sequencer for kicks and hats and a human playing MIDI-pads for everything else. I know for sure I've been left cold by a human drummer on more than one occasion. When I saw Lords of Acid, they had a drummer, and I kinda wished they'd had a machine. That's more the exception than the rule as witnessed by my devotion to the hometown heroes, Savage Aural Hotbed (http://www.waste.org/savage/) who play taiko drums on found instruments and power tools. Probably one of the best shows I've ever seen was Cocteau Twins who could not have done their set properly without sequencing. Their line-up was five guitarists, vocals and the sequencer providing back-up vocals (contrapuntal and neccesary to the tunes) and percussion. Absolutely blew me away. A band is a set of people who make music. All else is dependant on aesthetic. A professional orchestra is darn near a sequencer in a way. Classical musicians who are paid well to be such don't screw up. Its taboo. A conductor has absolute dictatorial discretion in interpretation and arrangement. Yeah he probably takes input from the members of the ensemble, but at performance, they're in playback mode. I apologize. I've been wordy while playing advocatus diabolus. The "B" section of my CDs includes Big Black, Bartok, Bulgarian Women's Choir, Bach, Black Sabbath and '70s and '90s Bowie. Musical tolerance is something thats very important to me. -Jj / tree-san / tree@acm.cs.umn.edu "No instruments exist." ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

It seems to me that with an external sequencer you could keep the ASR in load moad, with the instruments stacked (make sure MIDI mode = OMNI; that way any selected instruments will respond to all MIDI messages). If you are using the internal sequencer, I think you will have to copy sequencer tracks. In other words, if you are currently stacking instruments 1 and 2, and wanting them to sound as a single instrument, then you would want to copy track 1 of your sequence to track 2. In Ensoniqland, there is a one to one correspondence between instrument slots and sequencer tracks.

Having gone through about five drummers (Spinal Tap..?) several other assorted keyboardists and bass players, I must say that using a backing tape or sequencer is pretty much the only alternative to turning my "Industrial" band into a folk-rock trio (How would my Ovation Celebrity sound with a distorted vocal on top of it?) Our music is fairly complex, and to reproduce it completely live would take not only a small orchestra, but also a group of musicians who could actually play a part like 16 or 32nd note arpeggios at 130 bpm. Well if you can do it we'll set up an audition. But you have to actually show up, actually learn the parts, and be able to stand up through an entire song without smoking a cigarrette and drinking a 32oz seven-eleven coffee just to stay awake... ahem, anyway. Machines are for the most part reliable so we use them. As a recent posting said, its more important how well the music comes across and you know what? A good part of the audience still hasn't got a clue that you're using a tape. We're not trying to hide that, but we focus on the performance aspect and writing good songs and that is what gets people's attention. I like to play live as much as possible, but I also want my music to get heard... that's the most important thing. When I'm making enough to hire session musicians to play every note and the equipment to do so, great. BTW, has anyone thought of (or done) triggering sequences from their sampler, as opposed to whole songs I mean. In effect remixing a song live by adding a chorus or fill section spontaneously. I know this is one of the functions of the MC303, but that's only one way of doing it. Maybe someone has done this with their sampler, and I'd be curious to know how. I've also heard about VHS Hi-Fi that it really isn't very (hi-fi that is). These units USED to have Dolby noise reduction and apparently aren't usually made with it anymore. In that case you might be better off with a regular old tape deck with a search feature and a good NR like C or even S and HX pro. It's not DAT, but it's supposed to be close. I would say that just because the club you're playing at may have a crappy sound system, the results would be better if you are starting out with a better source. - -Atom _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ AT=D6MIC ICON: sound + vision _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ kadrock@pipeline.comm (or kingadrock@geocities.com ) http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/9443/ see the new multimedia DRIVE BLIND E-ZINE "Look for beauty where it is not supposed to be found." -Claes Oldenburg "It's good to be the king." -the King "...your signature is getting way long" -Kreestof Chandley ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

If a 'live' set is going to be entirely midi sequenced I would at least like to see someone there improvising ontop of the midi with some shedangling. It wouldn't feel the same if a computer only sat on stage, especially for a musician/composer whos worth their weight. Two interesting examples....aphex twin and coil... Aphex Twin (as far as I've heard) - richard james, uses entirely sequenced sets and is heading toward developing algorithms which compose the sequences...true 'techno'. Coil compose brilliant synth and sampler pieces and gave up the idea of live performance a long time ago. My personal opinion is that an entirely sequenced set should be 'shedangled' to add perspective and color to what you have already heard. The addition of color to a piece in a live set is what makes it 'live'. - -- Michael Stockus ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

It is not my intent to judge people for their use of technology. I have been a computer programmer since 1973, and have been playing synths since 1978 (when I bought my ARP). I remember the 'purists' back then that used to put 'NO SYNTHESIZERS' on their albums and then proceed to use every stdio effect imaginable. More than criticize, I just wanted to air my views and spark a thead here on this topic. This technology is great - but I think we should periodically examnine our use of it. I would hate to see music become an exercise in technology. Thanks for all your responses to my comments.

Either it's not set to ALL or you've recorded naff all on that track. If it's set to e.g. volume, and it tells you NO EVENT FOUND then you haven't recorded any Volume events. It's only going to show you what's there in terms of volume events. If you want to see everything, Event Type has to be set to All. If you haven't recorded any volume events but you want to insert a volume change at a particular point, you could just click on Event type, select ALL, click on Num then use the arrow keys or data entry slider (to scroll through the events to get to the place you want), click on Event type again, select Vol, click Edit, click Event Insert, now click on bottom left to set the volume change parameter to what you want, click exit.

Let me point out here that I used to run the Synclavier for Nile Rodgers, for whom I still work and use a myriad of different instruments, Some of them are expenxive and directed in their design towards a rather narrowly focused market, others are mass-market mass-appeal. A company like Roland (this is an example, not an endorsement) can afford to make both types of instruments, though even the more esoteric ones usually have some attempt towards mass-appeal (I am anxiously awaiting the delivery of my new physical-modeling JP8000 synth, which I ordered today, for example). As long as Roland is cranking out JV1080s amd 2080s (which I own, BTW), they have enough capital around to release experemental designs like the JP8000 (appx $2400 US retail!) and the VG8 Guitar device (about the same price). Ensoniq is not a company that is as well capitalized as Roland, in fact I understand they make more money in the hearing aid business than they do in musical instruments (I kid you not). Ensoniq is therefore less likely to release instruments directed towards a narrowly defined market. Don't misunderstand - I'll buy a cool experimental design from them if they produce one, I'm just not holding my breath. You shouldn't either. Got it now?

That's more the exception than the rule as witnessed by my devotion to the hometown heroes, Savage Aural Hotbed (http://www.waste.org/savage/) who play taiko drums on found instruments and power tools. I used to play drums standing up, with a tuned down floor tom (which made a great analog kick sound), snare, cymbals, oil drum, and bike rim along to sequenced drums and stuff. Then we had a line-up change, with me on keys. And the new drummer didn't work out and we did a couple shows as a duo, keys and guitar. But then we added a new drummer and people continually comment on how good we sound with a drummer. I imagine that it is just having a drummer and having a good one that works well with the seq. drums, etc. that makes him such a good addition.

OK, Since no one seemed to be able to help me with the whole disk tracks issue, I broke down and called Ensoniq tech support and ordered a OS 3.xx manual. The nice guy on the phone also informed me on how to actually initiate recording to the hard drive ("Configure Audio Tracks", Select the Audio Tracks to record on, hold down record, hit play, PRESTO! It's a no-brainer). I'm not sure if anyone might like to know this since I seem to be the only person interested in the whole business, but maybe it can help somebody out. The only thing I don't like about it is that you actually have to "sequence" the tracks you are recording. It doesn't just make a simple you can trigger from a key on the keyboard like with a normal sample in RAM (I was hoping I would be able to sample the music, then sequence it at my discretion). Anyway, if anybody has any tips on positioning the music relative to the beginning of a particular sequence, I would love to hear it. If not, I'll have the manual sooner or later and I'll figure it out then and let anyone who is interested know. As far as sound quality, I must admit I was very impressed. I sampled an entire 4 1/2 minute song directly to my Syquest EZ135 and it played back flawlessly. I'm interested in seeing how well it plays back once I align it to the beginning of a sequence and layer additional instruments on top of it....that'll be the true test ;) Anyway.....until whenever, - -TyPe0 ||====> type0@primenet.com <======||-----------------------------|| ||==> type0@31337records.com <====|| =-+ RaDi0 FrEe AmErIcA+-= || || http://www.primenet.com/~type0 ||---------------------------- || ||--------------------------------|| T y P e 0 || ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Hey, I don't actually own one, but am thinking about buying a Jaz drive for my Mac, and I was also wondering about compatability w/ my ASR-10. The strange thing is, according to Ensoniq (I read this on their page) is that the Jaz can be used as a SCSI drive but only for storage, NOT for Disk Tracks. Kind of odd, I thought, since the access time on a Jaz drive is much faster than the Zip drive which Ensoniq says you CAN use for Disk Tracks.... ? Well it also says you can use a 44 MB Syquest but not an 88 MB(at all), which could be loaded on the same drive if you had an 88 or 200 syquest drive- I'm sure there's some bizarre reason for all this. Again, this is only what I read, but they do make the ASR-10 so maybe they k= now. Read it for yourself, I don't know the URL(www.ensoniq.com ? I guess) offhand, but I do have a link to them on the "linxs" area of my page :).

References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Actually, signal looping devices such as the Lexicon JamMan and the Oberheim Echoplex, to name a few, are controllers that allow for real-time sequencing of sampled loops. These are used predominantly by guitarists a la Robert Fripp. As a keyboardist I use the JamMan to loop the sequencers output. This is effective if you have some short sequences which can be fragmented, layered, and relayered in live performance.Frankly, it gives me a reason to use the otherwise lumbering and cowlike ASR-10 sequencer. (Geez, no one told me that expanding to 16MB would double processing time!) I fiddled with some of the ASR's algorithms once to attempt emulating a JamMan looping effect. It didn't work.

I'm no expert (maybe some of you out there are) but to my knowledge VHS HiFi never came with any noise reduction, as it would be useless. In VHS HiFi, the audio signal is encoded as an extremely high frequency video signal (we're talking megahertz). In fact, it becomes PART OF and INSEPARABLE from the video signal. Since typical tape hiss resides in the 15,000 Hz to 22,000 Hz (a rough guess), the audio signal is positioned far above that. On playback, the audio is decoded from the video and brought back down into the audible range. The fact that the audio signal is stored far beyond the range of noise, coupled with the fact that a spinning video head gives an effective tape speed of, oh, maybe 60 ips (I'm guessing here), renders most concerns about tape noise moot. If you read any audiophile or videophile magazine articles that compare sound qualities of the various media, you would learn that VHS HiFi is far superior than any cassette medium and is only surpassed by digital. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

At the risk of getting even farther off-topic: You are correct sir. The Dolby is included for the linear audio tracks only. I've been mixing down to VHS hifi for about seven years and the audio quality is exceptional. I believe Christopher's main concern is with the auto-limiter built into most consumer decks and the inconsistencies in level they can cause. A little experimentation with input level on various hifi decks and you can acheive excellent results. Slightly lower level will not trigger the auto-leveler and the signal to noise will still be better than any cassette deck. Did I mention that for storage VHS tapes yield TWO hours for about TWO dollars? Your mileage may vary. Of course this is only my opinion. I could be wrong. mt ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Subject: EPS: Seq/Tape in Perfomrance For me, the thrill of setting up a rhythm with real people is unbeatable, so if the people are available, I go with the band and do as much as possible to not determine TIME with a unit that can't make those decisions in real time. (I have done a gig using The Human Clock by Kahler - never do it again, but we made it through the gig without anyone knowing!) But I have to frequently work with tape or sequence, because most of the time the people are hard to make available. The flake factor among musicians is unfortunately pretty high, so I can't blame anybody for using tape or sequences out necessity. I thank God for the technology - at least the music can continue. >BTW, has anyone thought of (or done) triggering sequences from their sampler, as opposed to whole songs I swear I have done everything to increase my given total of two hands: I use a Axxess Mapper to send a MIDI Start command to start sequences from the keyboard or foot pedals Use a footswitch with the Mapper to instantly dramatically change the sound sets with one punch Start sequences with the EPS/ASR footpedal, or the Mapper footpedal Sample bits of sequences and trigger them in succession on black keys (I like C) Sample smaller bits of sequences, layer them with other sounds, and they are retriggered whiel I play Play to cassette tape, 8-track tape (really), CD, DAT Sample parts I don't have hands to play and trigger them using the keyboard Sample parts that are good for transitions that trigger them while I move my hands to other keyboards All this while playing bass or guitar The funt hing is to do this in some unsuspecting place, like a church, and everyone thinks you're really great. =) RCS New Products: - ----------------------------------------------------- BlueWave Vintage Synth CD-ROM $99.95!

If I can add my $.02 - the typical specs on VHS Hi-Fi and (even better) - Beta Hi-Fi (remember that?) far outperform any other recording medium except for on-the-fly (not compressed) 16 bit or greater digital recordings. The frequency response is typically a smooth 20 - 20,000, with none of the "brick wall" effect that you usually hear from cheap filtering (Casio DAT's). The signal to noise is typically 90 dB or greater (Sony used to use 80 dB - but that was a real conservative spec). The problems are that the deck must be properly aligned. The type of tape you use makes a difference - Maxell & 3M used to work the best. Sometimes, you can hear vertical sync bleeding into the audio tracks (59.97 Hz). VCR heads tell me that there is no known cure for this, so you have to choose your deck carefully. It is a real pain to get Hi-Fi decks to cue any quicker than about 3 secs. it seems to take that long for the decode circuit to "lock" onto the RF and give you stereo audio. You can also have a tech align the deck so that the Audio RF is peaked and the Video RF is backed off until you just begin to see noise in the picture. This way, the deck will still record video, and you'll be hitting the tape with the best possible audio carrier.

The manual does tell you- but what you need is an understanding of the heirarchy of the EPS/ASR instrument - from Instrument to layer to wave (like that- highest first ). sooooo...... 1. create a new layer in the instrument you are editing. 2. copy the wave from the original layer (layer 1 usually)- into the new layer (layer 2 or whatever) 3. in "edit inst" page make sure only the new layer (layer 2 or whatever) is active -(so you only hear what you're editing on). 4. Now edit your waveform. P.S. it's your discretion whether the wave you copy is a "copy (little memory) or a full copy "lots-o-memory" - read the manual and understand the difference (cause you've only got 2 megs MAX on a 16+ so be efficient with its memory and it will serve you better). >thanx >more questions to follow soon Keep em coming...... - ----------------^------------------------------------------------------ /|\ Uncle Viceroy | ------|------ Remember...

Thanks, chris My old 16+ seq dont have this problem. Its quite stable, and sometimes it can even handle triplets, rolls at 172 BPM with ease, even if it takes hours to "step record" in event edit track.:-) I Have the same 3 clock off problem with my ASR 10 .The last Seq-entry in the sequence is off 1-3 clocks everytime. When i try to edit this on the event edit "page" it just messes eveything up. This is when i record new material, I dont want to think about transfer of 16+ songs to ASR 10 seq data. I have "upgraded" from my 16+, and now have massive amounts of work to do, as Ensoniq sequensers arent even campatible with each other!!! This clock problem gotta be a bug, and im surprised that it hasnt been fixed. The ASR has been around for a long time.If anyone has a solution(except for using PC/MAC based seq)for this problem, id be happy.

I also do not own one but my impression is that (a) it came out at *exactly* the same time as the EPS (b) it has the same poly-key keyboard (maybe also the patch select buttons?) (c) it *is* indeed a synth I'm sure of that last one. It came between the ESQ-1 and the VFX in Ensoniq's synth history and as such is of the sample playback type but as is typical of Ensoniq's stuff, it has much more flexible programming than most. I believe that it also has resonant filters but no effects. (Those were introduced in the VFX.) I have been actually looking for an SQ80 for a while since I rely on polyphonic aftertouch and it looks to me like Ensoniq is about to abandon this idea. (They're probably also a lot lighter than the original EPS which I still have...) As an aside, does anyone know of any other currently produced polyphonic aftertouch keyboards besides the ASR-10? /----Charles D.

Sounds like you were at our gig at Dreamerz in Chicago!!! IMHO, though, I've always felt like kind of a cheat getting on stage and starting a tape (or CD). Even though there are no human hands playing the sequence, there are real first generation instrument sounds hitting the board. I like the idea that things could go horribly wrong, sticking us in a situation where we are forced to be creative and fly by the seat of our pants! The best solution we have found so far is to take a cue from NASA (!) and have a triply-redundant system; i.e., if the sequencer fails, we go into soundscape improv mode, jamming on whatever tools are available at the time. This may not work with your particular style (we play mutant prog-disco pop), but it's worth a try developing your improv chops. If this goes on too long, we switch to our second backup, which is a CD-R of sequences we recorded. This system give us flexibility and stability (although it's lots-o-crap to haul). So far, we've only had to use the CD once.

Ensoniq has developed a huge public domain over the years. It used to be available in the dealerships. You just show up with your box of disks, and start copying. In that library is a large subset of samples of analog synths. Most of them have to be "tweaked", but for the most part, they're clean enough to work with. I also don't know about any of the other sound design houses, but I've gotten lots of stuff from Nick Luongo at Cesium sound, in the past, and it was all clean, professionally done samples that were created specifically for the EPS's.

As this proved to be a seldom used feature by the public, eventually they were dropped. You can still find VCRs with manual level controls and defeatable limiting, although they are getting rarer. I paid big bucks ($600 US) for a top of the line model strictly for this feature. That would have paid for a DAT, but I also needed a VCR. Another option: get a Hi-8 camcorder with digital stereo sound. Much more expensive than a DAT, but perhaps less expensive than getting a DAT and camcorder combined.

But it sounds about as great as you can get with that platform. And it has the Poly-Key (Registered Trademark) keyboard. That's the one big selling point of both the SQ-80 and the Original EPS - they will hold their value a little better because they are a GREAT controller - polyphonic aftertouch is so cool. It's a WONDER that it hasn't become a standard. One of Ensoniq's great ideas. RCS New Products: - ----------------------------------------------------- BlueWave Vintage Synth CD-ROM $99.95!

It was just part of the stretch to get as much power out the classic as possible. Just don't useoutput number 2 unless you're actually goinging to use the whole eight. Then, you should probably try to turn down the volume whenever you execute a "noisy" command.

I tried some of the analog synths and the industrial percussions, there are samples of digital synths and pianos, too. Some of the samples are really interesting, sound quality is ok at least, although the WAVs are neither truncated nor nomalized (and contain small amounts of DC-offset), but these are only small inconviences, IMHO. They seem to be all in stereo, even if the sound itself is mono, which is slightly more annoying. But then, they're completely free ... :-) Since then, I bought one of their products, The Analogue Collection (or similar) by mail-order for _dirt_ cheap (10 or 15,- US-$, if I remember correctly). Nice sounds, although without a certain style in mind (you may like this or not). They delivered in time. No complaints. **** If you're looking for a certain sound you'd like to hear, you could also check out some of the software-based "analog" Synths: programs like "SimSynth", "Stomper" and several others offer pretty authentic emulations of old, even modular synthesizers. They calculate a waveform, which can be imported or simply sampled with your EPS afterwards. Most of them are available on the 'Net. **** shameless plug follows **** You may know that I'm selling sounds myself, too (... although I'm more in _trading_, nowadays ;-). Some time ago I compiled a small collection which I called "Analog Classix"; mainly samples from Oberheim Matrix 12, OB-XA and Rolands form the early 80's. So you are kindly invited to visit my homepage to get more info - just follow the FTP signs. Lot's of links to sample-sites from my "Links"-page, BTW :-) Hope this helps!

My name is Chris and I'm from Canada and I've been on this list for awhile and haven't said much but I thought I should say something regarding the Jaz compatability thing. I've been using my Jaz Iomega drive with my Asr for amost 8 months now. The reason I actually switched was I had a problem with my Syquest 270 removable and after getting my Asr and loving every second of its options with fx/waveboy stuff I was going through 270 carts like crazy. So I thought it just made alot of sense to go with something bigger like the Jaz for the storage/cost factor. Later I found out that Ensoniq wasn't giving it the thumbs up. I really didn't let that bother me though, since it has performed flawlessly for me on gigs and during some studio stuff. It does like to go to sleep after 30 mins of no activity but usually I just eject it when I'm not really saving or loading anything from it anyways. Oh ya I have had one problem with one Jaz cart but I sent it back to Dynatek in Toronto and they replaced it for me right away. So I say thumbs up for me! Sample away!!!

I have had an ASR-10 for some time but due to pressures on my time not used it much. My problem... I have been to the Ensoniq site and downloaded the EDE program, which works fine. I have also tried to download some files, and these have a file extension of .gz (which I have never seen before - I was expecting EDA or something like that ?) I cannot copy these to an ensoniq formatted disk and there's no point putting it on a PC disk. Can anyone explain what I'm missing or doing wrong please?

We recorded an album ("Creature Comforts," Sean O'Donnell & David Forlano) of improvisational electroacoustic music using the Ensoniq ASR-10, synths, other samplers and guitars. The process started with recording six separate, improvised one-hour sessions; each session was recorded to 4 tracks of a 24-track ADAT. We then sat down and listened to the separate sessions that were now recorded side-by-side on the ADAT. By fading session one into session two, three into four, etc. the various themes collided, mixed and produced new music. The subsequent mixing process involved listening for arbitrarily emerging melodies as a result of the combination of juxtaposing the separate recordings.

As far as I know the EPS16 and the ASR10 use 16-bit architecture for all their disk hardware. A 32-bit card should be backward-compatible enough to handle it, but it would probably be a little bit more expensive than a 16-bit card (this is probably irrelevant unless you have a 32-bit scanner or some other SCSI device that will also be connected to the card and can also take advantage of the 32-bit architecture). Iomega makes a nice, cheap SCSI card that is designed for their SCSI Zip drives. It will only set you back about $50 or so and should work fine. Adaptec also makes a wide variety of SCSI cards in a wide variety of price ranges. - -TyPe0 On Tue, 18 Mar 1997, Kerry Bell wrote: > Hi all , > I am thinking of buying the Geibler software for looking after my hard > drive (Syquest 105 )on my EPS16+.But I dont know anything about SCSI > cards for PC's.Can I buy one of the 16 bit cards or do I need to have a > 32 bit card?I am running win95 and I have found a couple of older > Adaptec cards resonably cheap > Thanks > Kerry Bell > Hotmix Studios > ============================================================================= > This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University. > If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing list, send electronic mail > to majordomo@oak.oakland.edu.

The ASR has begun adding it's own noises... I've a pad sound with four layers, and i'm playing quick, three-note chords. So, each chord is using 12 voices. They've a really short decay, but for argument's sake, let's say they might overlap. That'd be 24 voices being used up, correct? (i'm using no effect, 31 voices at 29.76 kHz) Well, there's a lonely kick on a different instrument, who's amplitude _gyrates_ while these pads are going. (a long decay, 808-type-kick) It sounds as if there's some horrible modulation/compression on the envelope, with clicking, too. The effect is obvious especially if I lower the pad's volume to zero, and listen to only the kick. (which implys that its not an output volume problem, right?.) I can lessen the effect by shutting off the "keydown" layers of the pad, which frees up voices. Of course, then my pad's losing layers... By my math, I haven't run out of voices. Please don't tell me that the ASR wigs out as it _nears_ 31 voices! I'd much rather have 31 voices that blanked out if there wasn't enough to go around, as opposed to petering out and choking. To me, this sort of randomness is unacceptable, and again, I think I might be losing faith in the ASR... Any theories/opinions would be greatly appreciated... - -michael eringis eringis@blueskystudios.com ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I am new on this mailing list as I never knew it exsisted until recently when I found a major bug in my EPS 16 +. I use my EPS mainly in a live situation,I do my sequencing on an Atari Falcon running Cubase Audio and then download them in one 8 track seq.This has worked wonderfully for a couple of years untill I tried to do one at 115 BPM.Every thing seemed to be fine.I could record the seq,save it and the bank and even play it back. But if I loaded another seq of off the hard drive (Syquest 105 meg removeable) and then tried to load my original one ( the one thats at 115 BPM) the machine would lock up or I would get a File operation error.What really threw me was that the seq had worked perfectly previous to this at 112.I decided to add some vocal samples and increase the tempo.All of this was initially done in Cubase and then dumped into the EPS. I tried many different things to make this work but to no avail untill I realised it was the tempo that was causing the problem.By recording the same seq at 112 every thing is working fine. I still have a couple of little niggles , because of the file operation errors ,I now have files on my harddrive that I don't want and can't get rid of.Does any one know of some shareware disk utilites for the EPS that will work on either the Atari falcon or an IBM clone running Win95 or on the EPS itself that can fix these.I also downloaded some samples just recently that are GKH disk images but I cant seem to get software that will work under win95 to transfer them.

So I succumbed to some rave reviews in Keyboard Magazine and bought myself some CD-ROMS. Here are my humble opinions/warnings: Steve Gadd/Drumscores (the 1 CD version): a total let-down. Some pretty basic patterns are repeated and repeated endlessly. In stead of providing variety Mr.Gadd provides boredom. Half of the CD is filled with hits - no better/worse than the ones that came with the ASR. Peter Erskine: ditto. More variety than Mr.Gadd, but pretty useless for my purposes anyway. Lots of hits. Aaaaargh! Abracatabla: Quasi-Indian rhythms played on a variety of Indian instruments. Sensational quality of sound. Fun & interesting loops. This CD saved my day.

It's really cool sample converter. Easy to use, and runs in Windows 3.1 and 95. Check it out from: http://www.nada.kth.se/~f93-maj/fmjsoft.html After converting the sample, you need a program that can write the sample to Ensoniq's own disk format. I have used EPSdisk and Giebler enterprieces Ensoniq Disk Manager. EPS disk is command based DOS shareware program. But still quite easy to use. EDM is a DOS program with grafical interface, so its easier to use. But if you just want to copy just .gkh files. You could try Gieblers EDE (Ensoniq Disk Extractor). It will do the job just fine and its shareware. You can find adresses for these programs and other useful stuff from Ensoniq resources in Internet http://www.op.net/~mikeh/ensoniq.html Then there is Rubber chicken softwares EPS/ASR tools wich has TS/MR disk tools in it. Its Windows program which I have just downloaded the demo. But I havent had time to check it out propely. It seems quite easy to use.

IOMega has two redesigned drives on their way to Ensoniq right now. After Ensoniq evaluates them, assuming that they pass, there would be a reasonable amount of lead time before the new version finds its way into stores. I'm sure Ensoniq will be posting something on their web site when (and if) this happens. I'll be sure to send an update to the EPS list when appropriate.

I fear that you could have a serious problem with your hard disk. Back it up. Make sure you make backups of your individual files as well, to the degree that you can. A direct copy of your hard disk will have the same problems if it at all is copyable.

For blocksize I used 120000, it means 60000 for both tracks, which is usually enough for a song, even at 44.1 kHz sampling. At the end of setting the parameters, you have to push the Enter to invoke the command, then the ASR creates a space on your HD, it takes time (approx. 2 minutes). 3. Plug the external sound device in the AUDIO TRACK A and B, select the Audio Tracks, and set the acceptable level. 4. Set the sampling (=recording) frequency on the FX page. 5. Now start recording on your ASR. After the lovely SHUFFLING DATA message the sequence starts to count, and the HD starts to work (its LED is blinking). 6. Start the song from the external device. At the end stop the device, and stop the recording on the ASR. (Again the SHUFFLING DATA.) 7. Don't forget to save the song with the SAVE SONG + ALL SEQS, and after save the bank with the SAVE BANK commands (even if you don't have Instruments loaded in). Next time when you load the bank, the ASR must remember of the recorded Audio Tracks, so when you play the Sequence (not the Song), it will play the sampled song from the HD. (Anyway, there were 3 cases, when the ASR unfortunately FORGOT some info, so I was not able to play back the recorded song.... :) In this case some software - like the great EPSm from Terje Finstad (hi there! :)) - can help to get the sampled file from the HD, for example to convert it to AIFF file, and use further on.) Now you have the sampled song on your HD. But I don't know how to continue with your questions. Maybe that is a solution, when you sample not the whole song but a verse, a refrain, a bridge etc. in separated sequences. Hope this helps.

Our friend Norby suggested how to connect an "internal" type hard drive to the ASR. As I see it, he has overlooked the critical issue that seperates internal & external drives: external drives include their own power supplies, and some hardware to house the supply & disk. Granted, that the extra hardware may not be critical if you are VERY careful how you handle the "naked" drive, but the power supply is a critial component. There have been many posts about the ASR power supplies, and how hot they get. I do not think it would be a good idea to tap into the ASR to power an additional drive. [power is supplied to drives on a seperate cable usually with 4 heavier wires, red, yellow, & 2 blacks]. This is just my opinion - others may have tried using the ASR's supply for an extra drive, and had no problems.

Is there anybody out there that has made this work without regular disk crashes? The keyboard shows an error (disk not responding) loading big files such as piano samples. System seems to boot fine, and all smaller files (less than 1000 blocks) load with no problems. If I get a disk error, I just unplug the Zip drive power and replug it in. It usually fixes the problem. Is there any way to get a better success rate with this setup?

I'm sending this out to the EPS-list and to several people whom I observed from reading back issues of the list, that have mentioned ASR->Mac SCSI connections. Here's my story: I have an ASR, Zip drive, external HD, Mac 7500 with internal CD-ROM. SCSI IDs = ASR 3, Zip 6, external HD 1, Mac 7, Mac internal HD 0, CD-ROM 5 (which I changed myself) Scenario - I want to have at least the ASR, Zip and Mac hooked up so I can transfer samples via SCSI using either Alchemy, Infinity or Peak. The only thing I have not yet tried is to connect the Mac directly to the SCSI port on the ASR, because I don't have a long enough 25pin-25pin SCSI cable. I have tried: Turning on both external drives, with the Zip containing a bootable ASR disk. Booting the ASR, it will not find any external SCSI devices. Booting the Mac at this point, it will only see it's internal disk and the CD-ROM. Turning on both external drives, with no disk mounted in the Zip. Booting the Mac, it sees only its internal drives. Inserting a disk in the Zip, booting the ASR, the external HD gets a brief "hit" as the ASR presumably searches the SCSI chain, then the Mac freezes and the ASR will not find a SCSI device. Powering on just the Zip, removing the external HD from the chain, booting the ASR, it cannot find a SCSI device. Booting the Mac, it can not see the Zip. I have a utility on the Mac called SCSI-Probe which shows available SCSI devices and will let you mount them if not mounted. In any of these scenarios it shows no devices external to the Mac. Remaining I have to try connecting the Mac directly to the ASR. Beyond that I am going to obtain other SCSI cables as a test even though all SCSI cables I am using are of high quality and function normally outside of this configuration. If ANY of you have got something similar to this working, please let me know HOW you did it! I really need help.

Bill Harper Boy, I wish I could help. Alchemy's situation is the same as SampleVision for Windows. Both were products that started out implementing the SCSI and MIDI transfer of samples, but they never worked properly, and the products were discontinued since. At Rubber Chicken we are presently trying to purchase the technology for both programs - since they aren't doing anything with them. We will post a report when we know somehting. Also, it should be noted that PEAK, a new Mac editor, posts at the top of their list the ability to transfer samples via SCSI. PEAK is written by Steve Berkley, reportedly a former Ensoniq engineer. And even with that knowledge, Keyboard magazine reviewed PEAK, and said they even had problems with the transfer - MIDI or SCSI. Looks liek this is an Ensoniq problem - not the software engineers!

His current setup according to his present posts is identical. (the latter posted 3/23/97 with the current heading) There are easier way of making music! and he didnt even mention his other keyboards, modules and Midi patchbays! Roger wanted to: >2. Make a partition of the 2gb external drive an ASR partition to use for >sample storage. The ASR does not use partitions, so it is 'all or nothing'. ( He should have little use for the partition given his system - I think, My personal opinion is also that 2 GB is too big for ASR use) Roger described his SCSI connection and booting problems, He describes more bootup orders now than he did before, If his description is correct, it seems he have bad cables or bad devices in his chain. I would suggest getting a scsi terminator, read the manuals for the drives regarding their termination, then test one device and one cabel at a time on the Mac (and/or ASR) to sort out which are bad. It can be difficult to determine because cables and connectors can be flaky; Touching a cable can make a difference. Roger may have done all this, but others could perhaps get some clues from these comments. Now, even if he had no apparent bad cables by testing single devices and no bad devices, he still could have problems. Let's look at some of the common reasons and keep Rogers previous comment in mind. >Any ideas? I'm willing to try anything at this point. There are cable problems ( the pulse transients need to be within certain limits, not too slow, not too fast, You may tune it with your cables ) Then there are also problems with the way the ASR boots. Given Rogers occupation... > I'm a Mac/PC systems admin by day ..he should be able to bring a solution to the ASR booting problem, since a sys. admin, at least here, is extremely well paid. and he is willing to try "anything". He could try to get the right person(s) at Ensoniq to fix the ASR booting. I think they should be able to do it for 15 k$. Roger should have no problems with that. It's just a matter of priorities. But my thoughts/estimates here are extremly speculative. Sometimes you can prevent this bad booting procedure from doing damage. It will depend upon which devices you have and which device drivers you have and (probably) on your Mac system. The first principle here is of coarse that you need to power up all devices you want your ASR to see before you power up the ASR. No problem. Other loosly formulated well meant advices are - i) make sure removable devices have an Ensoniq cart in them when you boot the ASR if your Mac is running, otherwise the Mac will crash. If you can not put an Ensoniq cart in the device without the Mac protesting, then run a program on your Mac that allows you to put in Ensoniq carts. ii) If your device uses a particular driver, see if it works well without the driver, -you can usually mount mac carts with the program 'SCSI probe' and you can usually format mac carts and drives with a universal formatting program instead of the one supplied with your device and you can thus remove the driver residing on the drive. iii) If you are only going to use the Zip (or a particular external device) you could power up external devices, then the ASR and then the Mac if other approaches fails. I've got all scsi adresses on my system filled and can boot up in any order provided my Syqests have Ensoniq carts when the sampler boots, otherwise the Mac crashes /I've got several Mac models with different scsi chains to work using the above principles ( never had to resort to iii) though ) but there are many I have not tested. I've not yet seen system 7.6, but have heard others got it working. Roger's final goal is however... >transfer samples via SCSI using either Alchemy, Infinity or Peak. Which may give him another set of problems. But to even attempt at that, he first needs the ASR and Mac up and running on the same SCSI chain. I make most of my ASR instruments myself. I have Alchemy. I never use it. Terje ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I seem to have achieved the impossible, or at least the momentally improbable. Yesterday and today I went searching for a 25-25 pin SCSI cable, which wasn't easy to find, even here in Silicon Valley. Finally I found one that was labeled "Replacement Zip cable", in 3 and 6 foot lengths. I got the 6 foot, rather optimistically I think. (Note - I've removed my external 2gig HD from this chain for testing purposes. Later I intend to add it back as an internal disk on the 7500.) This evening I connected my Mac 7500 to the Zip drive, Zip drive to the ASR. I powered up the Zip with an ASR formatted disk, booted the ASR. The ASR would not boot from the Zip and required a floppy to boot. However, after boot I was able to change the storage device to ID 6 and load from the Zip. At this point I powered up the Mac with no problems. SCSI-Probe showed the Zip drive on ID 6, but nothing on ID 3. Now for the test: I fired up EPSm from Terje and connected to the EPS_SCSI device. No problem! I was able to browse the ASR Zip volume as I pleased. My next task was to fire up Alchemy and attempt a SCSI sample transfer. This failed. Next I tried Peak 1.11 which I have borrowed from a colleage for purposes of testing. Peak requires OMS which I have not yet installed (this is a new Mac and I haven't got it integrated into my MIDI system yet). I installed OMS and repeated the above sequence of booting. Tragedy struck! The ASR would not recognize any SCSI device on ID 6. I fiddled and fiddled and finally came upon a method that I can make work repeatedly. 1- Power up the Zip drive, ASR formatted disk inserted 2- Power up the ASR-10 3- Power on the Mac as soon as the ASR display says "SCSI INSTALLED" This method worked 5 out of 5 times. However, I still cannot transfer samples from Alchemy via SCSI (or via MIDI, more on this below), but my major roadblock has been surpassed. I can now have the ASR and the Mac co-existing on a single SCSI chain. I have not yet done any sequencing or MIDI-related things on this Mac. Tonight I started to set that up, as I installed OMS 2.2 as described above. Now to my next problem: After installing OMS, it detected my Opcode Translator Pro MIDI interface, connected to the printer port, and the ASR-10 connected to it. Everything seemed fine except when I tried to test my Studio in the OMS setup. The OUT light on the Translator Pro flashes when data is sent to the ASR, but the ASR is mute. I fired up Logic and quickly recorded a couple of lines into the sequencer. So the ASR is talking to the Mac but not vice-versa. When I played back the sequence nothing is heard. The ASR is configured as it always has been. However, I've never driven it from an outside MIDI source before so I may have something set wrong. Can anyone give me any ideas? Many thanks to everyone on the list who has responded to my pleas for help with the SCSI problem. Hopefully this will provide some assistance to others with similar situations. roger69@phuq.com www.phuq.com "The only way to fix it is to flush it all away" ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

This is done with hard wiring on the adaptor, itself. It is not easily changed. At any rate, changing it would involve carving on the PC board. I've never changed one (although I would have liked to many times - 2 samplers can't share the same bank of hard drives), so I can't give an estimate of the degree of difficulty.

You won't want to extend your cable too long (what's the limit, 12'? Anyone?), you'll lose integrity. I think it is safe to say that a null modem cable will not work. It switches pins two and three (and maybe more, I'm not sure) and I'm not sure what pins two and three mean to a 25 pin SCSI cable (maybe they're irrelevant). But, if pins two and three are important with 25pin SCSI, then using a null modem cable could cause the equipment to malfunction, or depending on what those wires carry, it could damage equipment. Anyhow, I was able to purchase a 6' 25 pin serial cable from the local store (plenty were in stock) for under $20. I'd get a good quality cable, though.

I am interested in the EDIT WAVE page - and can control LOOP START, LOOP END, LOOP POINT, SAMPLE START, MOD AMOUNT - but not the RANGE! Do you know how that sys-ex string work ? 2. Also how does Ensoniq translate 0-63 into 0-99 ? 3. We tried to get the same MAX-sys-ex control on Waveboy's Grainstorm and Pitchwarp.(Instead of using XCTRL etc.). We want to have sys-ex control on the modulable pages in these efx. How does the sys-ex string look ?? PS Our method has been to record the sys-ex strings into MAX by pushing the buttons on EPS 16+/EPS and then sending the sys-ex strings back to see if they worked. I truly hope that someone has an answer or an e-mail connexion to one that hs an answer.

Two important points: The length limit for SCSI cables is 6 feet. DO NOT exceed it! Many times 6' is too far, depending on the quality of your cable. I'm sure that standard serial cables work just fine for this application, but they are not shielded like SCSI cables are and more importantly, aren't tested for use with SCSI.

Funny thing about the WB effects is that you can try to update up to 10 parameters, but the sound does not change even though the value changes in the EPS/ASR display. EPS/ASR sys-ex allows only 10 effects parameters (randomly distributed) to be altered. They are the same as the Speed-Dial shortcuts. Get the External Command Specification from Ensoniq.

I can't vouch for the results. I run an 18' SCSI chain consisting of the following: PC <------> Zip <---------> Reno <---------> ASR10 All cables are 6' in length. The cable from the PC to Zip is a standard $15 straight-through (important characteristic!) cable. The cables going in and out of the Reno are Mediavision SCSI-II <--> 25-pin cables (only $15!). I haven't had any problems whatsoever in the last year from this configuration. Someday, I'd like to get software to get my samples directly from the ASR10. Copying to disk (and I mean floppy as I can't read the darn ASR10-formatted disks on my PC) and using EPS-disk/convert/Awave to convert is a royal pain in the butt.

I hope you have more luck on your PC than I have with my Mac trying to do the same. Neither Alechemy or Peak will do such a thing for me, even though I've finally got the ASR/Zip/Mac all behaving nicely on the same SCSI chain.

So I believe my SCSI problems are solved, however now I can't seem to get the ASR to listen to my Mac on MIDI. I've got a Mac 7500, Opcode Translator Pro MIDI interface, OMS 2.2. Everything works fine one way - I can play anything I want on the ASR and the Mac running Logic 2.5 records it faithfully. It's when I try and play something back that nothing happens. Zip, zilch, nada. No response from the ASR. Even in the OMS studio setup, when I test the studio, the ASR doesn't make a sound. I've checked the settings in Edit->System, and tried all five MIDI settings: Omni, Multi, Poly, Mono A&B, and nothing. None of the rest of the MIDI paramaters makes any difference. Anyone? This is the first time I've connected the Mac and the ASR via MIDI. I've verified that I can drive my other MIDI eqiupment (Korg Prophecy, Oberheim Matrix 1000) with no problems.

The default recive channels on the ASR are 1-8; this is true even if the EDIT/INSTRUMENT/MIDI OUT channels are set to different values; to set the ASR to _receive_ on anything other than channels 1-8 you must set the channels on the EDIT/TRACK/MULTI IN MIDI CHANNEL page. If you've done all this crap already, my apologies. Rather than deal with this every time i want to boot up my ASR and work with my computer sequencer, i just always leave channels 1-8 in OMS for the ASR. My other pieces of equipment can remember their MIDI settings when powered down. best, jon BioMuse Productions San Diego, CA ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Hi there: Years back, when I used to use EPS16+ with Alchemy via SCSI, it took me a while to get it all up and running. I tried the "recommended" 6' SCSI cables available from computer suppliers with no luck at all. I was eventually told by Ensoniq that the resistance in those cables was such that reliable SCSI transfers wouldn't work with lengths greater than 3" (which wouldn't even allow the computer so sit on a table next to the keyboard)! The solution offered at that time was to use unshielded, ribbon cable appx 6' in length, with the proper connectors at each end. After acquiring such a cable, everything worked wonderfully, and I enjoyed this setup quite a bit. I would expect that the same would work today.

Yes- I switched to Master tracks pro (MAC) - one of the most BASIC and affordable packages- and I am able to work faster and edit more accurately (and add cool effects)- not to mention better timing, MORE TRACKS!!, and it helps justify having spent money on a computer (EPSm helps GREATLY too- thnks to the mighty Terje). Computer sequencing is in my top 3 reasons for owning a computer. I plan to switch to VISION soon, and I think all musicians who are computer literate and do dance music should know at least one major sequencing program that incorporates digital audio tracks (to hard disk) as this is becoming the STANDARD way of sequencing /recording for electronic musicians today. What do the rest of you think? Is sequencing one of the MAIN reasons you own a computer? - ----------------^------------------------------------------------------ /|\ Uncle Viceroy | ------|------ Remember...

When I first got the EPS classic I had a technician friend build me a SCSI drive. His experiences with many EPS customers at the time was the same. He recommended ribon cables and found them much more reliable. On the subject of Alchemy , I have had a copy of ver. 2.5 for several years. The SCSI transfer between mac and asr has always worked, but..... when you do it Alchemy puts up an error message, but the transfer worked!! This is always how it has been. I just ignore the error message and keep working. Go figure ??!!!

All I would say I step # 1 in learning and synth for me is to understand the architecture of the "voice". How many envelopes,LFO's etc.... When I know this about any synth I can usually find my way around it. In almost every synth/sampler ever made there are only about 10 elements regardless the style of synthesis used. All that is needed to know is how these elements connect together. The motto of my story : don't learn the synth you are using, learn how "synthesisers" make sound. Then you will never be lost. If you don't know this you will always be lost. cu ===/===/===/===/===/===/===/===/ Paul Najar JAMINAJAR Production . Composition . Arrangement .

If you're talking >about one 12 foot cable, you're a braver man than I am, Gunga Din. ;) I actually use 3 cables. The first is a 25 - 25 pin ribon about 2 feet , then a 25 - 50 pin shielded - 6 feet , then a50 - 50 pin shielded extender - 6 feet. The reason I did this was in an attempt to get my noisy drives and computer out of my studio. I had my doubts when I bought the cables, but I just pluged them in and no problems. I have heard of people using up to 30 feet of SCSI cables with no hassles. I one of the other posts in this thread someone gave a URL to Granite SCSI products. I had a look at this site and noticed that in all their cable products they offered lengths up to 30 feet. These products look like responsible high quality stuff to me. I will take the plunge and buy one of their longer cables (15 of 18 feet) in the next week or 2 and let you know how I go. cu ===/===/===/===/===/===/===/===/ Paul Najar JAMINAJAR Production .

Heather, some of the most important aspects of sampling are in "shaping" the sound you have now sampled into your ASR. (I suggest starting off with a sound from one of the disks that came with your sampler.) As with any synth or sampler (well most anyway), you start with a "WAVE," that is raw sound information. Then you want to put the sound through an ENVELOPE which changes the sound's dynamics (Volume) over time. A Basic Envelope is A(attack) D(decay) S(sustain) R(elease). Each has a time #. What this means, is for example a Snare drum has a SHORT attack. A typical string sound would have a longer attack, but a longer sustain probably. Release is (basically) the time a sound lasts after you take your finger off the key. The typical envelope has 4 parts (A D S R) while the ASR's is a slightly more complex 6 part envelope. There are also 3 of these on the ASR. ENV1-pitch, ENV2-filter, ENV3-amp. The last one is the most important in terms of shaping your sound (in my opinion) I would start experimenting with ENV 3 first. Here is a simple picture of the envelope. /\ / \______ / \ .A..D..S...R.....each representing a length of time and the relative change in the sound's volume (or pitch or filter) Try loading in a drum kit from the example disks and changing these parameters. I think you'll notice the changes. One other very important part of sampling- Loops and Crossfades. These help make sounds into "musical instruments". Or making a short bit of sound play for a while (a loop) then making it sound fluid (crossfade) by essentially mixing the sound over itself. Of course this all depends on your preference. Once you get all this you'll want to learn about Filters and LFO's (low frequency oscillators) which do more to change the dynamics of a sound. Hope this was helpful.

Watch there for it--he thought he'd be done fairly soon. As someone who's learned to use his ASR in the past few months, I think the most important thing is to learn that operating system **inside and out.** I swear, it must have taken me four days just to figure out nagivation of the directory structure. That has to be one of the worst manuals ever written. I write computer manuals at work, and the ASR's looks like an unstructured rough draft to me--all the info's there, but it's arranged hideously. I still have no idea about using RAM tracks, and I wouldn't really even want to tackle it with that manual. But if you have the luxury of owning an old synth with sliders and knobs, using the ASR's (vastly underrated) synthesis engine is a piece of cake (once you've learned that OS). But it is really a chore to **learn** to use filters and envelopes with digital menus, I think.

A computer based sequencer is musch better. You can see more things at once, and do edits without searching for different screens. You can also visually see the length of notes.

I have had my EPSm for a number of years and I am just now trying to attach a Seagate SCSI drive (ST1480N). It is a 420 meg drive in an external case. I purchased a 3' standard SCSI cable and attached it to my EPSm. When I instruct the EPS to format the drive, the EPS displays the *formatting* message while the hard drive light comes on. However, after 5-10 minutes, the EPS displays the message "drive not responding" and the disk drive light stays on. Do you think an unsheilded ribbon cable is the answer? I am a computer programmer and I am confident I have all terminators, SCSI device id's and such set properly. Would I need to purchase a 50 wire ribbon? The case that encloses my drive has a Centronics connector on the back. I suppose I would need the cable, a DB25 connector and a male 50-pin Centronics connector (and a soldering iron!) I actually built a 2' cable thinking that perhaps the length of the cable was too long. One other potential problem - do you think the drive size is too large? Ensoniq has been of little help in trying to solve this problem. I followed their advice in purchasing a Seagate drive. I also followed their recommendation to upgrade my ROM to 2.41. Any direction you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

If you have _any_ questions about different synthesis methods, this bible will cover them. It's about 1200 pages and goes through every step from the basics to programming (even gives you short course in Computer programming, like C). This is a good reference. MIDI, sequencers, synth, indepth questions about filters etc. this book covers it. I think it even has scemantics to build your own lowpass resonant filter from components...

If I was in Tom's situation I wonder if I would have a problem with the ASR's timing (clock resolution) and track limits (I'm aware of splitting the kybd to alleviate this). I have listened to people other than myself confirm that the ASR sequencer has poor timing/resolution (although it is EASY to use vs. other kbd sequencers on the market). P.S. I'm all for a new MIDI with faster transmission rates - It has been the same speed for over 10 years now (since 1984 ??)-- now imagine if we all had 300 BAUD modems in 1997..... - ----------------^------------------------------------------------------ /|\ Uncle Viceroy | ------|------ Remember...

Anyone >had any success with it? I use Giebler's EPS<>SMF conversion software since several years; I think my points are valid for the ASR, too. I do transfer certain parts of a sequenced arrangement into my 16+'s sequencer for use on stage; in some rare cases I converted drum- and percussion parts to get rid of the somtimes sloppy MIDI-timing (someone else wrote about this yesterday) in the studio. (.... timing is better then, but resolution is worse, so it depends on the situatiuon ...) While Giebler's program doesn't have a "sexy" interface (...plain DOS-screen ... ;-), it works like a charm, as long as your Standard MIDI Files are really "standard"; I got strange results from files exported from an old DOS-application called "Texture", which seems to treat the tempo- (=master-)-track in an unexpected way. EPS<>SMF allows you to filter certain kinds of MIDI-data during conversion, which is nice, and "packs" your tracks (=deletes tracks without data), which is clever, but irritating, sometimes. Bottom line: Highly recommended. Hope this helps!

Sounds like it was a HD disk formatted as LD, probably on an EPS. Put a litle piece of tape over the hole on the lower right corner (metal sleeve on top) of the disk and see if that works.

KIWIZZ, imho the TS12 is very straightforward to program. What is it exactly that you want to learn to do? If you want to setup new sounds, I would recommend examining the patches in ROM. One of the best features on most Ensoniq synths is the cut and paste of parameters. You might want to try building a layered patch by copying single voices, and then experiment with exactly how they are layered (using velocity, key ranges, voice priorities, etc). There isnt much to learn regarding the sequencer - bare bones type of thing, but comes in handy when the wife is using my computer. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I have had my EPSm for a number of years and I am just now trying to attach a Seagate SCSI drive (ST1480N). It is a 420 meg drive in an external case. I purchased a 3' standard SCSI cable and attached it to my EPSm. When I instruct the EPS to format the drive, the EPS displays the *formatting* message while the hard drive light comes on. However, after 5-10 minutes, the EPS displays the message "drive not responding" and the disk drive light stays on. Do you think an unsheilded ribbon cable is the answer? I am a computer programmer and I am confident I have all terminators, SCSI device id's and such set properly. Would I need to purchase a 50 wire ribbon? The case that encloses my drive has a Centronics connector on the back. I suppose I would need the cable, a DB25 connector and a male 50-pin Centronics connector (and a soldering iron!) I actually built a 2' cable thinking that perhaps the length of the cable was too long. One other potential problem - do you think the drive size is too large? Ensoniq has been of little help in trying to solve this problem. I followed their advice in purchasing a Seagate drive. I also followed their recommendation to upgrade my ROM to 2.41. Ah- Ensoniq operations stump even the best of computer programmers. I doubt it's the drive size - I have used 2gig drives with the Original EPS. Try the following: 1) The EPSm may not be terminated. Get a 25-25 inline terminator and afix it between the EPSm SCSI jack and the cable. 2) Try jumpering the Seagate so it provides term power - (see their web site, it is helpful for jumper settings).

If you were familiar with synthesizers and samplers from the designers point of view, you would realize that regardless of where the trigger or note on event comes from, it still can take up to several milliseconds to set up all of the envelopes, LFOs, filter coefficients, etc. I recommend repeating your course on Microcomputer systems. MIDI is not the problem, it's the horsepower of the main CPU inside the unit. True, the speeds of the internal CPU could be increased, but there would be a significant cost increase to the end user. Most likely, it would make the synth/sampler price prohibitive.

ASR 10 ONLY tranmits sysex thru its MIDI out port! No SDS here,i'm afraid. I found this out one day after buying the ASR (some years back) when i found that the INDEX section of the manual DOESN'T mention anything about SDS and called my local dealer who said,"oh..didn't u know? It doesn't do SDS!!" :-P I use Recycle on my Mac/ASR and as i mentioned in the beginning,Recycler does it by using the Sysex function of the ASR which CAN transmit thru MIDI. But being a sysex,it's only exclusive!!

And this processing artifact is PARTICULARLY noticeable when once uses horrendously sluggish processors. Even the original Fairlight used two 68000s with a bunch of 6809s.

That is certainly not a concrete rule of thumb - there are too many factors involved. But you are fooling yourself and others if you really believe that other affordable synths/samplers _don't_ use more capable processors. _Really_, i didn't criticize Ensoniq in my posting.

This only reflects that a P133 processor is immensely faster than a 10 MHz 68k... The ASR computing power is in the same range as the Mac Classic, or around 3 times faster than an 8086 PC.... I wonder why ensoniq didn't use a faster 68k processor in the ASR. I'd guess a 50Mhz 68030 (which is very cheap nowdays) would cut down the Timestretch job above to less than 20 minutes.

I use 0% quality when working (and usually have time for a cup of tea during the calculations anyway...). Then I'll set it to 99% quality when I know I'll be gone for at least eight hours...

You know, here's a challenge: sequence something dense, play it back using the ASR-10 via MIDI, then port the same sequence over to the ASR-10 and play it back using the internal sequencer. There's (imho) a major increase in timing accuracy, except of course when switching between sequences. This would theoretically allow for more complex compositions, which _relates the original poster's questions_.

Hi, I noticed a lot of questions and answers regarding Sample Dump between An ASR-10 and a computer... (no I don't think it's in the manual) however it IS POSSIBLE. I use Alchemy and a PowerMac. The process is fairly slow, takes a few minutes, more or less depending on the size of the sample. And I couldn't get it to work w/ a very large (maybe 2000-3000 blocks) sample. My conclusion would be that this is NOT SysEx since it can be understood (as well as stored) by a Mac as well as an ASR or EPS, and that it most likely is using SDS (after all they left other things out of the manual) and even if it isn't the "standard" it still works. SysEx stands for System Exclusive, which means information that only a particular keyboard or instrument can understand. I.E. the ASR can store SysEx data from any device, like an SR-16 drum machine, but that doesn't mean it can understand that data. It is just using its disk drive for storage. Anyway I use Alchemy setting SAMPLER menu to EPS|EPS-16. I don't know about other software sample ediors, but they _should_ be able to do it... keep trying! A faster and more economical way to transfer samples between Mac and EPS/ASR is Terje's EPSm program. It reads and converts a whole disk of ASR samples faster than one SDS transfer! - -Atom _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ AT=D6MIC ICON: sound + vision _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ kadrock@pipeline.comm (or kingadrock@geocities.com ) http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/9443/ *** DRIVE BLIND ONLINE ZINE *** "Look for beauty where it is not supposed to be found." -Claes Oldenburg ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I know for a fact that Alchemy works fine with the EPS16+... you might want to make sure that there isn't a SCSI conflict with the CD-ROM drive and the EPS. The standard SCSI ID number for CD-ROM drives in the Mac world is 3 which is the same as the EPS cpu. It is not possible to change the EPS's SCSI ID but you should be able to change the number on the CD-ROM bye changing the jumper configuration internally. If your Quadra 610 didn't have a CD-ROM player that is probably the reason you didn't have any trouble. Regards. - -Chris M.

Sean, I've been messing around with the PC1600 and my ts-10. Editing a patch via sysex is interesting but not a very big deal. I think the ensoniq user interface is set up well for that. I find the P1600 very useful with my computer sequencer for mapping faders to control volume & pannning info. I use the internal sequencer in the TS live, and because it likes to reset all controllers at the beginning of each sequence controlling the track volume via the PC1600 doesn't really work. I was hoping to find a way to control the master vol of each track via sysex but none exists. I even tried a midi loop with the TS and the 1600, placing the 1600 in replace mode where it replaces all incoming data with the fader value (as long as it matches the fader controller #) . No luck... If anyone out there has discovered other interesting uses for the PC1600 I'd like to know as well. I consider it one of the best purchases I've made (along w/ my TS10 & DP4). peace, John ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Thomas - in the short period of time that you have been publicly posting messages to the EPS maillist (your first message appeared on 27 Jan 1997), you have written at least 24 pieces of misinformation. I am sending these and my comments on each to you via private e-mail for your inspection. You have only written 10 messages here, so your misinformation-to-messages-posted ratio is probably the worst of *anyone* in the history of this EPS maillist. I have been reading this maillist actively since 1993 when it was hosted on reed.edu, and have some amount of expertise in the field of electrical engineering and all Ensoniq topics. There are always posts of misinformation that show up on this maillist (unfortunately)... but Thomas, your cup runeth over. I mean no insults by this post, but I do think that your age, inexperience, and other factors prevent you from recognizing your own misinformation. Or maybe it's your militant audio-electronics viewpoint. I don't really care, to be honest. How about stopping the regular spout of misinformation?

This is exactly what I was worried about. If the TS/ASR/EPS is going to reset all controllers at the beginning of each sequence, how can the PC-1600 be of any use for anything other than controlling non-sequence parameters (e.g., effects)? I wish I knew of a way to get around this...the only thing I can think of is appending all of your sequences into one long one...even if this worked it doesn't seem to be worth the effort. > > If anyone out there has discovered other interesting uses for the PC1600 > I'd like to know as well.

So if you assing your sliders to specific controlers that are reset to 0 at the beginning of a sequence, you just have to press enter(or a foot switch assinged as the enter button) and all your values are set to your desires. You can also send messages to the 1600 to set the controlers of a specific patch at the start of a specific sequence. As for the general use of the 1600, the one thing that bugs me with it's compatibility to the ASR, is the ASR's limited effects modulators. You can't send pitch bend with the PC1600(unless by sysex string), and you can't give any arbitrary controler number as mod. source on the ASR. But these are just details that you can easely go around using a little bypassing imagination. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

So I suppose it's best to be working with just 2 or 3 sequences so you don't have to constantly reset the values, right? Plus, does resetting cause the value to audibly jump from the ASR value to the value sent by the PC-1600? It sounds as if there is only a millisecond opportunity to set the value as soon as the sequence starts.

If there is no audio output at the time your values are set, there wont be an audible glitch. I use a stereo volume pedal whenever I play. When I change banks, presets or parameters that generate artifacs, I manage to always be muted. There are a possibility of 50 programmable banks presets all recallable by patch change, as well as recallable "scenes", (but I haven't worked with that yet) so you can have up to 50 sequence controler presets if you wish. There is a limit of different setups in life so surely one can have many purposes. By using mute buttons, you can even have many sequences on one preset if you dont need all 16 sliders. I'm not a peavey rep. and I dont want this to look like publicity, so it all comes down to using your imagination. (be lazy then you'll be able to find effortless solutions to your performance problems). i!i i!i i!i i!i i!i i!i i!i i!i i!i i!i i!i i!i Er!c Rocheleau Compositeur/Impromptiste Mail: rocheled@ere.umontreal.ca Home: http://mistral.ere.umontreal.ca/~rocheled Impropmtistes: http://mistral.ere.umontreal.ca/~gauthial/Impromptistes ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I now bought an old Atari 1040 (yes, llaauugghh !!) to run Cubase and the problems are gone! My faderbox is no Peavey, it is a garage-grown, house-programmed beast (not available commercially,sorry!), but it (probably) does the same job. So I run the seqs from Atari, control the vols/controllers/pans etc with the faderbox and the EPS eats that with no probs, even live. AND I can record/edit seqs _while_ the sequencer is running! Think thats enough for $100 for the 1040 and another $50 for Cubase (both used, of course), and enough to skip the internal sequencer and drag another box to my gigs.

I downloaded it yesterday and it seems to do a fine job. My only questions have to do with the data transfer amount and delay settings that obviously have to do with which sampler you are using and maybe variations in Macs. The wave editing is rather simple, but combined with all of the features of a "full parameter" editor seem very attractive. No editing for Effects, though.

EPSm is a better program than you think. You should buy it from Terje regardless. The program we offer, EAVES, is a totally different program. EPSm is a disk utility, while EAVES is a graphic parameter editor working through MIDI.

Admittingly, wave dump using MIDI is slow, but it's the best we've got so far. If wave dumps is your thing, I would use EPSm (or is it stEPS?) to extract a WS into an AIFF file. THat's very quick. Just a note for the people trying to use PEAK or ALCHEMY to dump WS via SCSI - I hope you noted Jim Aiken's review in Keyboard about PEAK. PEAK get's rave reviews as a sample editor, but Jim had problems with the WS/SCSI dump as well. PEAK designer is Steve Berkley, who knows about all there is to know about direct SCSI communication with the EPS/ASR. Looks like the SCSI problems are not related to software, but with the EPS/ASR itself.

I have never had this problem before (in 4 years). Granted, the song has more sequences than I normally have (a total of about 30) but no sequence is more than 16 bars (most are 4 bars). This is the infamous bloated sequence error that I addressed on this list previously. Basically, what you should do is save each individual sequence in the song (NOT Save song and all sequences) until you get to the specific sequence that will give you the disk space error. Something, god knows what, in this particular sequence is screwing the ASR up. If you redo this specific sequence, or maybe even copy it to another sequence slot, the problem should go away. This is assuming your sequence has no audio trax that would consume such space. At the very least, all your others sequences besides the problem one will be saved. I had the same problem, this worked for me, if it works for you I suggest we add it to whatever running list of EPS/ASR tips and tricks is being kept, as it is worthwhile.

If you tried it once, you know how frustrating it is to take the floppy from the EPS, inserting it into the PC, running EPSdisk, waiting until the wave is extracted, running awave, going through the "save as..." procedure, and then, only then, running your favorite wave editing program. The alternative is actually a "little bit" expensive, but when using Stienberg's Recycle, the wave is simply transmitted over midi from the EPS, to the PC, and all you have to do then is save it as .wav. If you look good enough, you can find some evaluation copies of recycle on the net. Just a minor oddity - why does my recycle identifies my EPS16+ as a mere EPS?! it works fine, by the way..

Could there be a glitch somewhere? Also, if the song/sequences are indeed taking up that much space, why doesn't the ASR offer the option of saving to multiple disks? Agreed with the other poster. Has there ever been a official or logical explaination behind the "huge sequence" bug in the EPS?ASR sequencers? I don't have time to check, but what shows up in SMF conversions of these files? Perhaps Terje or Gary (the ones who have the most experience with the innards of SMF's) can tell us what is the bloated data that gets into the sequence. Perhaps there could even be a bug fix via a computer.

It supports stereo .wav's, 16-bit and 8-bit as well. It also converts any Ensoniq format to .wav as well.

Garth, I would believe that fully had it not been for the fact that Alchemy 3.0 and my EPS 16+ got along swimmingly... it was a virtual love affair AS LONG as I was running this combo on my Quadra 610. The day I upgraded to a PowerCenter 120 PCI machine this has never worked. In earlier versions of System software (7.5.3) you couldn't even boot with the EPS 16+ on the SCSI buss. Later with 7.5.5 I was able to boot up with everything connected but then not be able to achieve transfers. I strongly suspect that changes in Apple's system software and how it handles SCSI communication may be partly to blame here. Otherwise, what explains the partial progress when going from 7.5.3 to 7.5.5?

Is > there a way to start sampling manually (this durned manual...)? There are three possible corrective actions. The first is kind of brute force but works occasionally, which is to turn on the boost parameter for the wave you're resampling. (edit, select wave#, edit-amp, boost=on) The second is to turn your sampling threshhold all the way down. I think this is done with the up/down keys when you're looking at the level audition page before sampling. (sample, select source, ENTER into level audition, up/down to move the * cursor, which represents your threshhold) The third is to max your presample time. Presampling makes it so that the ASR grabs not only the chunk of data starting at when input level reaches threshhold level, but also a chunk before that. As I recall, this is edited from the left/right arrows off the level-audition page. (same as above, but l/r) I could be wrong about the locations of those parameters, but I'm correct about the names, and they're in the index in any case. Can't really comment on the RCS products. I never got the demo of EPSTools working, even after getting the win95 add-on stuff. Can't be bothered with a demo that doesn't work. Just not worth my time. I'm sure Garth's sounds are nice, and the hardware prices look right in line. Can't say more.

There should not be a problem passing the drive through the X-Ray, I have passed cameras, cellphones, computers and various audio parts through there without ever encountering problems. But: never the disks. No matter what! just to be sure you could make backups of your zips and toast them to CD-Rs. take a CD-Drive (or a computer that has one) along. Just in case, you can copy the sounds from CD back to the zips after you reinitialize them. Don't take chances. There is nothing as useless as a sampler without any sounds...;) peace Canine - -- ________________________________________________________________________ FHD\SOA\1K9\A9S\THE\OWLS\ARE\NOT\WHAT\THEY\SEEM\219\SDFK\SKD\SD\CANINE\ http://www.muenster.de/~canine fon: +49 - 251 - 661833 johanniterstr 17.48145 muenster. phax: +49 - 251 - 661852 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Is >there a way to start sampling manually (this durned manual...)? If you're sampling through the guitar amp effects, I believe you can change the gate so that some noise from the distortion will trigger the sample recording before the actually sound you want to sample starts playing. Another method is to adjust the pre-sample time on the sample page so that the ASR starts recording a few milliseconds ahead of the signal. In both cases you can later trim (or fade) the excess sample.

Hopefully you won't need them, but - this is from ghastly experience - YOU MIGHT! I have all my zip discs backed up onto DAT and travel with those. Before that, I actually tavelled with an old, cheapo external hard drive that I got second-hand - 200 megs. That's what saved my butt when I lost a disc (actually LOST it - my guess is it's somewhere in western Canada). Another thing to bear in mind - My Zip Drive broke down about four weeks inside its warranty. I returned it to Iomega, and got a new one within 10 days, but in the interim (I was doing a show at the time) purchased a second one, which I'm now going to hang on to as a backup. If you're going somewhere where you might not be able to get a new one, you may want to consider this.

It costs bucks and it's not very convenient to lug around a PC from hotel to hotel. You need a POWERFUL machine too.

Hard disk recording is exactly the same as recording on a digital tape, it all depends on the quality of your equipment. Here are the different situations I've worked in, I regularly work sound with SGI computers doing enormous amount of digital transfers from DAT to disk and vice versa, no problem here exept for the software I work with. I used Sonic Solution on a Power Mac 7600 to prep. the master of my group's CD CBC radio(Radio Canada), recently recorded two of our latest performances on RADAR by OTARI, witch is a top of the line hard disk multi-track recording system. I haven't had a chance to work with Pro-tools, but I heard great comments about it. Soundesigner, soundedit 16 and deck work very well also. Sony's mini disc is a bottom of the line domestic product, I don't recommend serious work with it(by a good DAT machine instead). I never work on PC so I can't tell you anything about that. As for de Fostex unit, I dont anyting of it eather.

The computer/software/harddisk route is by far the most flexible solution. It depends on your requirements. This way would also be the most expensive if you don't already own the computer. If you do have a (powerful enough) PC then you would be mad to go any other way. If you are serious about a career in music I would also recommend going the computer way because it will serve you for a host of other business applications. So when you are comparing price consider this also. Mini Disk would be the cheapest and least flexible, followed by DMT8. cu ===/===/===/===/===/===/===/===/ Paul Najar JAMINAJAR Production .

If so, you could use the Giebler Ensoniq Disk Manager to convert your song/sequence to an SMF (Standard Midi File) on a PC Disk. This SMF could then be loaded into a computer sequencer program (Logic/Cubase etc.) and the EPS/ASR played back via the computer program. If you are working in a studio, the studio should have a computer that can sync up to a multi-track recorder (via smpte) - check this out though. If they do have this sort of set-up (and any studio worth its salt does!!) you could record every instrument separately in perfect time. I'd test run the SMF on a friend's computer who owns a sequencing program - before going to the studio and spending money only to find out that some things need to be fixed In addition, you should consider getting an EPS or ASR Output Expander - which can add either 6 or 8 additional instrument outputs - depending upon the model of EPS / ASR you own. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Subject: Re: EPS: Re: Sync track for studio recording SYNC SYNC SYNC! It's never been so easy! heh. No really, almost every studio in the known universe that I'm aware of is equipped with some sort of SMPTE sync box or computer-driven syncing program. It's really quite easy to do and whoever the engineer is (if he/she knows what he/she is doing) will know exactly how to do it quickly and effectively. I don't know where you are recording or what format you will be recording to, but I have two ADATs here in my home studio which I synchronize to my ASR-10 and virtually every other piece of MIDI equipment I own quite regularly. The ADATs require a separate, outboard synchronization unit made by JLCooper called the DataSync2. It's basically just a fancy little black box that converts the signals that the ADATs send out of their sync ports into something a MIDI keyboard can recognize and vice-versa. If you are going to be recording to ADATs, the studio you are recording at should have one of these and will be able to get you going quite swiftly. If they don't have one I would suggest leaving there as quickly as possible :) If you are recording to an analog source such as reel-to-reel or whatever or to a hard disk recording program on a computer there should be something equally as simple that will synchronize your equipment. Hope that helps! - -TyPe0 On Tue, 15 Apr 1997 jmoorejr@sprynet.com wrote: > I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to create a sync track or trigger so I > can record individual instruments separately to a multitrack recorder.

Yes, I've been making records like this for the past 3 years, and I love it. I also recently produced a track, "Minnear Medley" for a Gentle Giant tribute CD called "Giant Tracks" entirely on my computer.

I actually have criteria for this, and one criteria is the Company's track record. What's the ratio of promises vs. deliveries of the company in question? If it is 90% or more ( and you don't have a strict deadline ) then you have well founded HOPE. Another question is how to help the company get going. methods are... 1. constant bugging/ complaints. 2. encouragement/ minor bugging. 3. begging I like # 2 and #3, (but resort to #1 when dealing with companies like Turtle Beach.) I don't REALLY know which is more effective- I just put myself in their position sometimes ( which means having an idea of the complexity or ease of what they are trying to do ).

If so, you could use the Giebler Ensoniq Disk Manager to convert your song/sequence to an SMF (Standard Midi File) on a PC Disk. This SMF could then be loaded into a computer sequencer program (Logic/Cubase etc.) and the EPS/ASR played back via the computer program. If you are working in a studio, the studio should have a computer that can sync up to a multi-track recorder (via smpte) - check this out though. If they do have this sort of set-up (and any studio worth its salt does!!) you could record every instrument separately in perfect time. I'd test run the SMF on a friend's computer who owns a sequencing program - before going to the studio and spending money only to find out that some things need to be fixed In addition, you should consider getting an EPS or ASR Output Expander - which can add either 6 or 8 additional instrument outputs - depending upon the model of EPS / ASR you own. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

(I'm at work right now). from that point, you can choose to erase individual controllers or all of them from the current track. The importance of this is that when you are recording as sequence, the EPS/ASR also records a bunch of controllers into the track which will defeat the PC1600's sysex controller messages. Get rid of the ASR's controllers and all should be fine.

Guy buys a brand new Grand Cherokee for 30 some thousand dollars and has 400+ dollar monthly payments. He immediately contacts his friend and they go do some male bonding. They go duck hunting and of course all the lakes are frozen. These 2 geniuses go to the lake with the guns, the dog, the beer and of course the new vehicle. They drive out onto the lake ice and get ready. Now, they want to make some kind of a natural landing area for the ducks, something for the decoys to float on. Remember, it's all ice and in order to make a hole large enough to look like something a wandering duck wants to fly down and land on, it is going to take a little more effort than a ice hole drill. Out of the back of the new Grand Cherokee comes a stick of dynamite with a short, 40 second fuse. Now these 2 Rocket Scientists do take into consideration that if they place the stick of dynamite on the ice at a location far from where they are standing (and the new Grand Cherokee), they take the risk of slipping on the ice when they run from the burning fuse and possibly going up in smoke with the resulting blast. So, they decide to light this 40 second fuse and throw the dynamite which is what they end up doing. Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the vehicle, the beer, the guns AND THE DOG ???? Yes, the dog. A highly trained Black Lab used for retrieving, especially things thrown by the owner. You guessed it, the dog takes off at a high rate of doggy speed on the ice and gets the stick of dynamite with the burning 40 second fuse about the time it hits the ice much to the dismay of the 2 idiots yelling, stomping, waving arms and wondering what to do now. The dog, well-pleased with itself, heads back from where it came from moments before, with the stick of dynamite, only to the mounting woes of the 2 bozos now really waving their arms, yelling even louder and jumping to new heights than ever before. Now one of the guys decides to think, something that he has never done before this moment, grabs a shotgun and shoots the dog. The shotgun is loaded with #8 duck shot, hardly big enough to stop a Black Lab on its appointed rounds. Dog stops for a moment, slightly confused and continues on. Another shot and this time the dog, still standing, becomes really confused & of course scared, thinking these 2 Nobel Prize winners have gone insane. The dog takes off to find cover with the now really short fuse burning on this stick of dynamite, still in its mouth. The cover the dogs finds? Underneath the brand new Grand Cherokee 30 some thousand dollar 400+ monthly payment vehicle sitting on the lake ice. BOOM ! Dog dies and it and the brand new Grand Cherokee 30 some thousand dollar 400+ monthly payment vehicle sink to the bottom of the lake leaving the 2 candidates for Co-leaders of the Known Universe standing there with this "I can't believe this happened" look on their faces. Later, the owner of the vehicle calls his insurance company which tells him that sinking a vehicle in a lake by illegal use of explosives is not covered. He had yet to make the first of those 400+ a month payments. I felt pretty sorry for the dog myself. When they made the movie Fargo they should have waited a few more months and this could have been added into it. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

What you are probably talking about are one in the same.The problem sounds like you are trying to write some form of EFx file to disk that is not understood that way (between the hard drive, the file itself and the ensoniq disk you are writing to) Because the file is labeled EDx, EFx, etc, doesn't mean that the particular image is understood as (above) Look back at the Epsdisk.txt file and try the following procedure... 11/8/1993 ============================================================================ EPSDisk v1.30b: program for reading, writing and formatting EPS disks and images on IBM PC compatibles; extracts and writes individual files to DOS files ============================================================================etc. Page 3. In situations where you have a lot of .EFE files the easiest thing to do is to write these files first to an image and then to an EPS floppy. Here is what you do: 1. Format a GKH volume -- F)ormat, volume w.gkh ( or w.img ) 2. Write the .EFE files to that volume -- W)rite, dest volume w.gkh, default directory, source file *.efe 3. Copy the GKH image to an EPS disk -- C)opy w.gkh to B: Note: When doing W)rite file to disk, EPSDisk expects the DOS file to be in the current directory. The w.gkh file you format should be in the same dir. as the Epsdisk.exe file.What this does is set up a somewhat 'blank' disk image to copy the *.efe file that you have been trying to send direct to the floppy. I would name the *.gkh file the same as the filename of the efe. When you have this *.gkh file, copy that to the formatted EPS disk using the copy command and your image will appear in the directory P.S. anyone have good clean distortion gtr images they could send or post.looking for standard open tuning w/mod clean distortion.

I'm going from memory here, but I believe it cost me about $250 including installation. I don't think I got screwed over....unless you take into consideration that the SCSI card they installed was virtually indentical to one you can pick for you computer that would only run you about $50 ;) Of course it is SPECIALIZED equipment, right?......RIGHT?? Anyway, as far as I remember it only took a day or so for them to put it in. Actually I'm sure it took them about a day and a half to get to it, and about 1 hour to actually install the thing.

See http://www.soundcentral.com/~chickeneps/rcs_tips.htm#ZipDriveTips Also, 1) I'm assuming you have a ZipDisk in your Drive at bootup, and that it blinks when the EPS says SEARCHING FOR SCSI DEV 2) What message are you getting when you CHANGE STORAGE DEVICE? It should be NOT EPS DEV - that makes sense - the ZipDisk is not formatted to Ensoniq. 3) If youa re trying to format the ZipTools disk that came with the drive - it is write-protected, and can be only removed using a computer. Get a PC/Mac-formatted ZipDisk, and use that. 4) The use of ZipDrives by themselves with the 16-Plus has been erratic. Some work, but others do not without the help of another device supplying temination power to the term buss. Try hooking up another drive, or get a SCSI Sentry from APS (800-374-5681). 5) An added note: there has been success in an electronic fix, by hooking up the 5v supply in the SCSI interface to the SCSI term buss. There possibly could be a Hacker article on this soon.

Is there anyone who's got a _FREE_ program for win95/dos that can send/receive eps-wavesamples and convert to wavs? Tried some geteps.exe and sendeps.exe, but my AWE32 didn't like that one I think. The same guy (right?) did Epsilon, and it worked nice, but that was just some eval-copy and only let you dump <50k samples and only to/from instrument 1/wavesample 1. The program was $20 dollars.. Ok it's not much, but all I want is send and receive options. Any info on how to fix problems and a nice send/receive program would be greatly appreciated. /Peter Peter Samuelsson ime95psa@lustudat.student.lth.se ie9595@malmo.lth.se http://www.student.lu.se/~peter_s/index.htm ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I originally had a Syquest EZ135 SCSI drive which is tored all of my sounds and sequences on for my ASR10. Since I only had one of these, it became rather difficult (and painstaking) to backup a 135 megabyte drive with the ASR's "COPY SCSI DRIVE" function (INSERT SOURCE DISK.....wait......INSERT DEST DISK.........wait.........INSERT SOURCE DISK......wait......etc, etc.). Finally, I got tired of using the Syquest for a variety of reasons and went out and bought a second SCSI Iomega Zip Drive (I already had one for my computer). Even though the zip disk is a little lower on the storage capacity end, I think it makes up for it in reliability, structural integrity (no rattling when you shake the disk), and compatability (Zip drives are arguably the most commonly used removable media besides CDs and floppy disks today). Anyway, the easiest way, as you've probably gathered, to back up your Zip drive is to simply connect a second Zip drive (or the equivalent) to your SCSI chain off the ASR10 and dump the entire contents of the disk to a new one. This is what I do now that I have two Zip drives and it works like a dream. Other than that your only choice is to either backup to DAT (which I've never done) or use the old clunky method of copying a zip disk from a single zip drive (this could take anywhere from 1/2 an hour to 3 hours). No matter what you do, however, BACKUP YOUR WORK! You will gleefully thank yourself when your signifigant other sits your zip disk right on top of the brand new 300-watt amplifier in your entertainment center, or when Cousin Cletus decides that those newfangled plastic thingies would make great skeet-shooting targets. :) I try to back all my stuff at least once a month, sometimes more often if I have spare time on my hands or if I'm working on something very important. YOUR ZIP DRIVE IS YOUR FRIEND, AND BACKING UP YOUR DATA IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING SECOND ONLY TO SAVING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE! :) Anyway, hope that helps, - -TyPe0 On Sun, 20 Apr 1997, Heather McVay wrote: > > > > While on the subject of STORAGE and LOST data. > I have most of my stuff on "one" 100meg zip disk. > > I want to make a backup of this disk. > > Is it wise to actually take my ten songs on the one > zip disk and save each song to a single zip disk first. > > Then do a BACKUP.

The ? to ask yourself is... 1. Have I observed all potential 4 problems to occur? 2. What are my resources and abilities? 3. What is it worth to me? These sound like callious questions to ask but it is much easier to "check the battery 1st than to overhaul the transmission" so to speak when dealing w/the hardware. It is a fact that the older boards did not utilize the comfort of what switching power supplies have to offer in convenience today. One of the first Rolands I purchased was the 8P and the power supply was regulated at the RMS of 14.974(doc. 3.1756-45 RolandCorp ) 15 volt today is considered obscure....The particular switching bridge has been obsolete for over 8 yrs now and there is no way to cross reference this SIP from any other manufacture. Needless to say, early filtering was pretty much non existant on those boards.could be anything from a weak bridge to a soft CAP. To the bottom line.. It sounds as if you might have exausted all other options. If so, it probably would be in your intrest to replace.

Could be this, or could be another similar problem. The keyboard assembly is made up of actually two circuit boards, which are connected together with a very cheap connector. Activating aftertouch on a key causes these boards to flex ever so slightly, and over time, causes this connector to wear and send false information to the mainboard. The solution is the same though-replace the connector with a ribbon cable soldered across the two boards, and the problem should disappear. I had this happen with my EPS Classic, and my friend fixed it for me and it has worked ever since (I have since upgraded to a 16+ and sold the Classic to my friend [who is on this mailing list still I think], and he hasn't experienced any more problems with this either). Common symptoms of this connector being at fault are: - - Keyboard refuses to calibrate. - - Keyboard calibration only works at certain temperatures. - - The unit must be left on for so long before the keyboard will calibrate. - - Keyboard must be bumped or hit sometimes to calibrate. - - Random notes are sounded as the unit is warming up while playing. I have in the past sent a fix procedure regarding this to individuals who request it, and can do so again if needed. This should be added to a FAQ or something though.

Robin - first of all: DON'T TRY TO FIX THIS YOURSELF, unless you have in-depth knowledge of what you're doing. In other words: Keep the questionable ZIP-disk away from your drive and consider your next few steps _without_ pressing buttons by trial and error. Things could get even worse. The good news: All your data _may_ still reside on your disk (as you assumed yourself). The bad news: There are no tools available for mere mortals to get things right. I had a similar problem about one year ago, when an older version of Gieblers EDM (... the first one with SCSI-support) tried to write data onto the part of the ZIP which is reserved for the FAT. The computer crashed in a fraction of a second, but this was enough to turn the work of several weeks unusable (... yes, I had backups, but the ZIP contained my _categorized_ drums-library, not only batches of sounds :-/). This small bug is fixed in the newest ver# of EDM, BTW. What I did (and what should be your next e-mail, too) was to ask Gary Giebler himself for help (.... uhm ... you _are_ registered user, aren't you?). He replied almost instantly, and after a detailed discussion on "when" and "how" he offered me to save the destroyed data-structure of my ZIP himself. The only thing I had to do was to send him the original disk (which too several weeks snail-mail 8-|). Due to his permanent overload of work to do, it took Mr. Giebler some time to care for my little problem - but what counts is: He _really_ got my ZIP to work again! What's more: He didn't ask ask for a single $! (... and sent me the free bug-fix, too). Now that's what I call after-sales-service :-)! Now, go and write your mail to . At least you can make sure if there's any hope for your lost data. Good luck! Dietz / ASL PS: (EDM is now available as ver# 1.0.3, AFAIK ---- the slowest-progressing version-numbers ever!)

Do you have an Adaptec card? If so, do you have EZ-SCSI? When you run the SCSI Interogater (EZ-SCSI only), does it see the drive? A CD driver should do this: 1) Find the drives connected (scan all the SCSI numbers) 2) Give logical drive numbers for the drives that have them listed 3) Usually reserve drive letters for the drives without that information. Your ASR HD should come under the 3) catagory. I use EZ-CD, but the EZ-CD PRo 95 doesn't recognize any CD-R in my Pinnacle, so I use the 3.1 version, and that works great.

Garth, here's another one for your tips page. Okay, let's start off with the standard warnings/disclaimer. This fixing procedure applies for the EPS Classic; however, I did have one person report he fixed his 16+ using this procedure, and opening my unit up reveals a similar setup, so it will also work with a 16+. I have never had the chance to open up an ASR, let alone even see or play one, so I'm not sure if this will work for the ASR as well. I am also in no way responsible should your EPS blow up or something wierd happen, and please make sure you read the entire procedure before starting. First, let's separate the keyboard module from the rest of the sampler. To do this, remove the four screws located on the top corners of the sampler's display section. This will allow the top panel to be swung open towards the back (it takes a bit of force to pry up the cover the first little bit). Now, close the front panel back up, turn the sampler upside down, and remove all of the screws you can see underneath. These screws are what holds the keyboard assembly to the rest of the sampler (from now on, I'll use the term "sampler" to refer to the entire unit, and the word "keyboard" to refer to just that one part of the sampler). Two of these screws also hold the floppy drive/pitch wheel/mod wheel assembly in place, which must be moved to allow the keyboard to be removed from the sampler. A total of four screws hold the floppy/pitch/mod assembly, with the other two being on the back panel- remove these too. Once all screws are removed, turn the keyboard carefully back right side up and open the top panel. Next, carefully pick up the floppy/pitch/mod assembly and move it to the side (it's attached with many wires that are soldered to the rest of the sampler, but you should be able to pick it up and turn it enough to allow the keyboard to be removed). After unplugging the bus cable that connects the keyboard assembly to the motherboard, you should now be able to lift the keyboard assembly out from the rest of the sampler. Set the rest of the sampler aside for now, as it is the keyboard assembly we'll be working with. The first thing you'll see underneath the keyboard assembly is a sub- assembly where the ribbon cable you unplugged was attached to. This board has a similar type of connector like the faulty one separating the two halves of the main keyboard circuit board. This connector doesn't usually cause problems, as there is little or no movement here, but while you're at it you might want to remove the screws holding it to the rest of the assembly and clean the connector. The connector at fault is underneath all of the keys, so we'll have to remove them to get access to it. Start off by removing all of the springs from the back of the assembly by using a pair of needle nose pliers, grasping the top of each spring, and lifting it up and out of its holder (it's a good idea to put them all in a cup or something so that you don't lose them-and don't worry, they are all the same). Next, remove each key by grasping the front of it and pulling it towards you and at the same time applying a light upward force to pop it out of the holder. It's tricky at first, but you'll get the hang of it after the first few. I find it's easiest to start at the bottom of the scale and work your way up when removing keys. Also, don't worry about mixing them up-they are all labelled according to their position in the octave, and all of the black keys are the same. Once all of the keys have been removed, you will see the main keyboard circuit boards, with a brown colored connector joining the two halves-THIS IS YOUR PROBLEM CAUSER! You'll next want to remove the two halves of the board off of the plastic assembly that holds them together so that you can separate them. To do this, you must remove all of the small plastic ties that hold them down (squeeze the two halves of the tie together and push it through each hole-they are a real pain to get out). Once they are all out, you can remove the boards off of the plastic assembly and separate them at the connector. Take a look at the male half of the connector-I'll almost guarantee you that you'll be able to visually see where the wear has been occuring. You now have three choices: 1) Clean the connector 2) Replace the connector, or * 3) Remove the connector completely and replace it with a ribbon cable My personal favorite is option #3, because hopefully, if you do solder wires directly across these two boards, you will never have to separate them again (you can still remove them out of the keyboard though), plus it will eliminate any future wear problems. I have done this to my Classic EPS and have never had any keyboard related problems since. Another thing to check for before you separate the two boards is the actual solder joints of the connector itself. On mine, doing continuity checks across each pin pair of the connector revealed some pairs with resistance in them! Resoldering the connector and the resistance disappeared (this was before I decided to replace the connector-it helped but didn't fully solve the problems I was having). While you've got everything apart, it's a good idea to give everything a good cleaning with a can of compressed air or a non lubricant contact cleaner SAFE FOR PLASTIC. Re-assembly is basically the reverse of removal, noting once again that the keys are all labelled, and black keys and springs are all the same. Don't forget to plug back in the ribbon cable between keyboard assembly and motherboard. Then cross your fingers, plug your sampler back in, power it up and hopefully it will calibrate and all of your problems will be solved! If it still will not calibrate, other places to check are the sub-assembly board's connector or the ribbon cable between this board and the sampler's motherboard, but hopefully you won't have to worry about that. Good luck, and please feel free to email me (taiken@ubishops.ca) if you have any other questions or to let me know your results. Many thanks to Ric Miller for his origional fix procedure that helped me get my EPS calibrating again, as well as my friend Tim Rosenquist for performing the actual operation.

Windows should recognize the drive's existance as long as the adapter can find it. Is the drive visible under windows explorer? If so, then the cd writer software just doesn't like the file system on the asr drive (asr disks are incompatible with dos/windows/mac/etc file systems).

You must use DD disks on the EPS because the ASR will recognize both types (via the ID notch). You can have the same problem on your PC if you start with an HD disk. For those out there who own a Yamaha CVP series Clavinova - you can have the same problem between the CVP and your PC.

When you boot your computer with the ASR drive turned on, does the SCSI BIOS recognize the drive? You should see a listing of each drive that is connected to the SCSI card, listing the SCSI ID and some sort of manufacturer's ID. If you don't see that, the SCSI card is not recognizing the drive. However - If this drive is formatted as an ASR/EPS drive, even if your PC recognizes the SCSI ID as valid, once you go into DOS/Windows you will not be able to address the drive, because the formatting is not compatible with what the operating system expects. This would be a lot easier if you had a Mac and Terje's EPSm program... ;) Roger At 11:01 AM 4/22/97 +0200, Christian Ismer wrote: >Rubber Chicken Software Co. wrote: >> Do you have an Adaptec card? > >Yes, I have an Adaptec 1510. > >> If so, do you have EZ-SCSI? > >No, I only have EasyCDpro95, which came with the card.

Your logic is correct, but DS/HD's are much different than DS/DD's besides just the notch. The density/coeractivity (sic) is different, making a covered hole DS/HD just a DS/HD with a covered hole, not a DS/DD.

I would never risk saving EPS sounds on a EPS to a DS/HD. You are just asking for trouble. ASR's take the HD and DD disks - they are designed for it. Piece of trivia - when ASR's format a DS/DD disk, there is a slight error due to a bug. It is never noticed until you try to read or write it on a computer (this trivia thanks to Terje). Please everyone, recognize that a hole-covered DS/HD is not the same as a DS/DD. Take it from someone who has dealt with EPS's and ASR's for 9 years. Save people the grief of DISK DATA CORRUPTED.

The data is written to an HD disk at twice the write current used for a DS/DD. This means that when you use an HD disk and format it in a DD drive, you're only hitting it with half of the magnetic flux that it is designed for. Bottom line? The disk will ERASE ITSELF over a short period of time ( @ 3 months or so). ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I believe that an interleave of 2 worked best for Seagate drives when I did it. BTW, if you're using an array, all of the drives must be formatted with the same interleave or strange things will happen when you go from drive to drive. Since the EPS Classic & 16+ interfaces are so SSSLLLLOOOOOWWWW as SCSI goes, they usually get whatever drives are laying around. Right now I think it's a 45mB, an 85mB, and a 250mB. I think that I went with the best interleave on the fastest drive (probably the 250), and I just wait for the others. The interleave won't hurt anything, you're just looking for the most efficient mapping of sectors. I think that you'll find that 2 or 3 works best - even with a newer 9mS drive.

I didn't realize that I had all but stopped using the EPS for anything but a controller in the last few years. Sure there were certain sounds and fx that Istill relied on. The Waveboy stuff is cool and I still use it to fly in vocals and stuff but for the most part I've been using rack modules for instrument sounds. Reason: the dreaded floppy shuffle. Hundreds of them and they all look pretty much alike. And my poor organizational skills. What a nightmare. I could never put my hands on the sound I needed when I needed it.

Should I have it replaced just to be safe or should I wait for it to fail? 3. What good are all them damn fuses anyway? 4. How does this affect the rain forests?

For example backing up. No need for an extra SCSI disk or digital I/O for DAT backup. I mean I've lived in some serious fear that when my SCSI disk breakes down, I'll lose all my project materials, and there's just too much of it to back it up on floppies...

Note to the list: Zip's are funny creatures. What Jazzm251 experienced is at least par for the course as far as ZipDrives are concerned. But I have encountered some ZipDrives that do not need an external device attached - I worked with them for hours and not one DISK NOT RESPONDING error. Strange... There has also been one person who has tried and succeeded in an electronic fix to the probolem - taking the 5v from the SCSI card and wiring it into the SCSI bus.

Drives that are formatted for DOS get a logical drive letter upon boot-up. Ensoniq formatted SCSI Drives usually don't, but they are recognized by the SCSI driver. With the ZipDrive, at least our SCSI drivers here reserve a drive letter for it whether it is formatted or not. Nevertheless, all this is moot: with the Giebler EDM, to access SCSI drives you press S for SELECT SCSI DRIVES (see man menu), and the program will search out the available SCSI devices on your chain, no matter how they are formatted. EDM will tell you which have Ensoniq data and which don't (with a couple of exceptions). Then you select which SCSI drive you want to work with, and work with it using the F and T selections. The manual should cover this - do you have one? RCS New Products: - ----------------------------------------------------- BlueWave Vintage Synth CD-ROM $99.95! Ensoniq Disk Tools for Windows $39.95!

Feszczak" Subject: EPS: New Ensoniq Sampler: ASR-X New Ensoniq sampler, ASR-X: http://www.ensoniq.com/html/asr-x.htm We went to the masters of sampling and asked them to list the top features they would like to see in the ultimate groove machine. They said to make it easy to sample, resample, and loop, include a built-in synth, add some incredible effects, resonant filters, an easy to use sequencer and put it all into a portable box with pads. We did all that and much more . . . Power Sampling. It was time to take sampling to a whole new level, so we took the best features of the famous ASR-10, added great sounding 20-bit A/D converters, made the RAM expandable to 34 Mb, and stuffed all this power into one portable table-top box. We put a lot of effort into making it extremely fast and fun. Just sample, shoot it  to a pad, and start jamming. Never before has so much power been so easy to use.  Synth-in-the-House!Everyone has raved about the great sound of the MR  products, so we integrated its synth engine and a new built-in ROM into the ASR-X. We also included an expansion slot which will accept any of the popular EXP Series Expansion Boards. This is an amazing amount of synth power to have in a sampler.  Incredible Effects. Our new VLSI 24-bit digital signal processor (ESP-2 Chip)  with 26 MIPS of DSP power gives you incredible sounding FX. That power can be used to make your sound mysterious or bold, rich or thin, big or small. There are also plenty of fun effects like ChatterBox, Vocal Morph and Speaker. In fact you can also use the Low-Fi processing algorithms to get that cool muffled sound.  Cool Interface.Every aspect of the interface was developed to be fun and easy  to use. After all, you probably write your best grooves when you're having a great time. The 14 custom designed velocity sensitive pads feel great. They're fast and responsive, smooth and sensitive just begging to be hit.  Extremely Expandable. The ASR-X is expandable in  many ways. You can add up to 34 Mb of RAM for sampling, add an EXP synth expansion board, or add 8 outputs or SCSI.  The New Groove. So there you have it. Everything the  pros wanted we delivered! Life is too short to be messing with hard to use products. Get an ASR-X and get into a groove! ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Any ideas (I don't really want to trigger an ad-fest on the list, but I am open to a wide variety of suggestions here)...

As I understand it - The classic EPS is a thirteen bit sampler. It samples at 13 bits, and its memory consists of 13 bit words. Its disk structure is a 16 bit format, so it can read 16+ and ASR samples (from a DD disk, of course), but it tosses out the three low-order bits as it loads to memory. It uses a 16 bit processor when processing those 13 bit samples, so rounding error is reduced. As much as I love my EPS Classic, I have had to accept the fact that it is a 13 bit machine, period.

Just have fun with the software - I love it ! I wouldn't say it's a 4-bit improvement - if the samples went in a 12/13-bit (which most Original EPS samples do - but not all), then playing them back with a better system doesn't really improve it as much as they woudl if they were sampled at 16-bit in the first place. But it is an improvement. The Original EPS samples at 13-bit but stores the samples in 16-bit form. With the Ensoniq sys-ex protocols, you get 16-bit samples all the time. Recycle just wasn't being platform specific - EPS apparantly means Original and 16-Plus, since the sys-ex dumps are the same anyway.

According to their website: yes. Ensoniq has always been backward compatible. It's really nice being able to play ASR-10 sounds on a classic.

So since the original question referred to Recycle, it's a 16-bit sample as far as Recycle is concerned. It just was sampled in at 12/13-bits. Just wanted to clarify.

It really makes wonders:-) I saw a note which could be interpreted similarly regarding sample bit resolution improvement and memory width increase of the EPS sampler. (It was presented as a quote from an Ensoniq spokesperson!) This sounds like someone have started a new production run of the EPS classic? No, that can not be the explanation, when the manufacturers make limited edition reissue vintage models of guitars, they try to stay a little true to old technology.:-) In any sampler the fidelity/accuracy/bit-resolution of a sound can not be better than the number of bits in the sample that the sampler stores in memory. A sampler should have an overall playback resolution better than that because it should be able to play many samples simoultanously and with varying dynamics. When people tell their sampler with 13 bit wide sample memory sounds better with 16 bit samples than with 13 bit samples, that is of coarse a fact; Sound quality is a subjective experience, but you have the right to be surprised. Such preferences may be based upon comparing bad samples sampled with 13 bit and good samples sampled with 16 bit. The technical quality of a 13 bit ADC/sampler could well be inferior to that of a 16 bit one ( for those 13 bits ). As for the original EPS classic, ( not the reissue ), it has also been said it is a 13 bit sampling and 25 bit sample playback thing. A 'better' parameter for playback is perhaps the dynamic range and signal to noise ratio. I take the original posters main message to ignore the distinction between the EPS classic and the 16+ when it comes to using Recycle, and that seems to be fully valid.

I've noticed too, that like when you have an instrument selected and the display is showing, for example, instrument volume (i.e slider affects it), then I think that only the slightest vibration is enough for the slider to read a new value, thus affecting the one being displayed as it normally does. So, for example, it's happened a few times that when I'm playing and the volume is selected on the display and the slider is practically at the lowest value, then pressing the keys probably was enough to make the EPS think I was moving the slider and set a new value. I don't know if this problem has anything to do with yours, since you claim you're not touching it, but maybe the slider just sits and rests at a position extremely close to jumping to a new value and it could spontaneously read it if the slightest change in voltage somewhere in the machine occurs.. I have absolutely no idea, just a guess, but as far as I can imagine, that is the most probable cause, at least in my case..

This is usually due to a short in the contact for either one of the directional buttons or the data slider. This can be triggered by a number of things. Dirty boards or connectors, in which case some PC- board cleaning is in order. Otherwise, if you're having overall electrical/electronic problems with your board, overall, its indicative that that professional service is neccesary. -Jj / tree-san / tree@acm.cs.umn.edu "No instruments exist" -- Ensoniq ASR-10 "Sequencer must be stopped" -- ESQ-1 ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Especially from my side. I have no idea whether it has been made or will be made. The ASR-X ad on the Ensoniq web does state full compatibility with ASR-10/EPS libraries. That sounds very good. ( both the idea, and the libraries :) You could get the impression that the MR61/76 was also going to be ASR sample campatible before it was introduced. Now it seems to be less so, but it is difficult to find out exactly how it is. With the 2.0 OS upgrade and with a flash RAM option intalled you can load AIFF and Microsoft Multiomedia Audio .WAVs. Can you build layers with multiple samples that way? Can you build multiple layers in an instrument that way? Can you save/reload the complete sample collection either as data or references to the original files? Do you know? The ASR-X is advertized as having a built in MR and can take MR expansion sound cards. This makes it natural to guess that it will contain an MR synth engine and, most importantly, it can get a real good sound. Perhaps it's architecture then is fixed in many ways and be like the MR? Or is that wrong? Does the wording in the description of the ASR-X filters indicate something else? Could that be the reason for the 32 part multitimbral of the ASR-X compared to 64 of the MR? . If the architecture has to be like the MR, then some "conversion" will be nessecary beyond scaling of parameters. There may be many things. Some of those that come to my mind are the velocity scaled envelopes and the different number of segments in the envelopes. If the two velocy curves, soft and hard, are active for an EPS instrument, then it seems you have to make a crossfade between two layers to acomplish the same thing. ( Perhaps this soft hard velocity envelope was skipped because in most cases the envelopes are similar or of such a shape that the same effect can be accomplished by direct modulation of the envelope and attack time ) I guess you could make the same soft/hard envelopes by crossfading between two layers differing only in the envelope. However it should take up one additional voice in the polyphony would you not think? Different number of segments in an envelope can probably also be dealt with satisfactory in most cases. I have perhaps too often applied modulations which can not easily be dealt with by an automatic converter - I often cycle the envelope and use them similarly to an LFO. I wonder what the weather will be today. What is your speculation?

As far as Recycle is concerned, everything is a 16 bit sample. I just don't want people thinking that the classic EPS is a 16 bit machine provided you can bypass its A/D converter. With 13 bit memory words, the EPS cannot store a 16 bit sample. Period. You can send it 16 bits via sysex command, but the low order 3 bits will be ignored, same as loading from disk.

If you sample the same sound on an ASR and a classic, and then play them both back on a classic, the ASR sample will sound much better. The reason for this can only be that the input/ADC stage on the ASR is of better quality than on the classic. BTW many old 12 bit machines (like the Prophet 2000 for example) uses one DA converter per voice. This means the resolution is not that far behind a 16 bit machine putting out several voices through a single DAC. /AW - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Anders Wikholm (anders.wikholm@atcit.mil.se) aka MOULIN NOIR (http://www.geocities.com/~moulin_noir) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I know that the ASR has an option to format disks as "computer" but it you format a disk on the ASR, the computer doesn't recognize the disk and if you format the disk on the computer the ASR comes with a "Bad devide ID" or similar message (at least with a DD disk). Anyway, even if the ASR can read the disks, i doubt that his current OS (still 3.53?) can read the format of a WAV of AIFF file (i hope i'm wrong with this...) I understand that an advanced sampler like the ASR must have it's own propietary format to store other things else than the wave itself. But these days, no company will try to sell a sampler or similar without the hability of reading samples in the standard formats (WAV or AIFF) formatted on a 720 or 1.44 disk. Ensoniq has understand this (with the MR system 2.0, and the new ASR-X) and this way, users from non-pc platforms can benefit of this feature as Macs and Amigas can work with PC formatted disks with WAV or AIFF files. (and Atari ones too, i think). Well, at least it takes me to final point, to Ensoniq: Please, please, please... Do a revision on the ASR-10 OS, so the sampler can have this feature. Please believe me; i'm not one of those asking for a "20bit, 32Mb with 72pin SIMMS, MR synth and resampling with FX" upgrade for the Mirage (or even the EPS the ASR or anything) but as i have seen on Ensoniq site, if the ASR-X (a machine based on original ASR, with many of his features) and the new MR OS can do this, i'd like to think that this can be possible and would give a joy to many existing (and happy) users. On the other hand, this way you can sample sounds for use on the computer, but with the quality of the ASR. Yes, i know that there are already excelent transfer utilities but not all are available for all platforms. Anyway, these utilities have many, many other features to do these other excelent things that can be done from the sampler OS. And that way, everybody will be happy :))) I ask all users who like the idea to send some e-mail to Ensoniq, asking for this (this same text could be useful) as this is a reasonable enquiry.

Assuming the EPS uses 2's complement arithmetic, and I'm not certain that it does, but given the processor, is likely; a 13 bit number would have a range of - -4096 to +4095. If it stores numbers as all positives, the range would be 0 - 8192, as you said. The range is basically the same, either way. What happens when the EPS is given a 16 bit number is that it would ignore the last three bits, e.g., 7FFF would become FFF or, in decimal, 32767 becomes 4095. Notice that 7FFE would also become FFF, or in decimal, 32766 also becomes 4095. In fact, in this example, the numbers 32760 - 32767 all become 4095. The numbers 32752 - 32759 (7FF0 - 7FF7) become 4094 (FFE). So, in fact, seven distinct values in 16 bit format all map to the same 13 bit value. This is loss of resolution. Is it audible? Well, maybe, and maybe not, but the more important difference between the two word formats is the dynamic range and signal to noise ratio. I'm not convinced that the actual bit resolution IN AND OF ITSELF is audible to most people for most types of sounds (the exception might be sounds with much high frequency content which would need the finer resolution of more bits to represent). This is why the Mirage sounded so grungy particularly with cymbals and such.

This would be the same as dividing by 8, or right -shifting by 3. The shape of the wave is irrelevent. We're talking about a single sample word, not a waveform. The only thing affected is resolution. A 16 bit word such as: 1011 1101 1111 1001 would become: 1 0111 1011 1111 in 13 bits. The 3 rightmost bits, 001, are lost.

Note on/off messages as volume messages are separate. If you remove the volume messages from the sequence, you are left with whatever volume the ensoniq has set. If you want to change that volume and save it, you must set the volumes to the desired levels, go to 'Command|Inst' and choose 'create preset' and choose preset 1. Then if you save a bank, this preset will be part of the bank. Later, when you load the bank, make sure there is an instrument selected and press the '1' key and you should see your volumes return to their correct settings. I KNOW this works because I have been doing this for the last two weeks. If you associate a 'song' that contains 'sequences' with a bank, you can cause the ensoniq to load up everything it needs to restore itself to your previous settings, but you must re-create the preset and re-save the bank if you make any changes.

I own an EPS 16+ which is great. 8 outputs, 24 bit DSP effects, 4 pole filters (shame there not reasonant) etc - so what more could I want? Well 3 things really :- Firstly, it has 2 megs, Can I Upgrade this? I've heard about the 2 meg flash ram upgrade. Does this have to be loaded into conventional memory before it can be played? Is there a SIMM conversion available ? ( probably just wishful thinking that !!). Secondly, whats the cheapest route to storage. Is there a cheap SCSI kit I can fit myself ? Can the SCSI device be shared with a PC - or can a PC and EPS communicate via SCSI? Thirdly ( and finally), I've tried the Rubber Chicken PC editor for the EPS, but I could not get it working. Has anyone had the same problem. I would be very grateful for any light on these matters.

When I first upgraded my ASR, I tested it with one of the in-box factory sounds (it was one of the synth string pads, I think) which had some HORRIBLE aliasing in the upper octave of the keyboard. I thought, "this RAM must be bad--there's no way they'd ship a sample like this." Little did I know. : ) I went back down to the factory 2 megs, and there it still was. I did have some bad RAM at first, and it was recognized by the ASR, but sounded REALLY weird. It's immediately apparent when it's bad. A question for any developers on this list: since the OS is upgradeable, is there any possibility of future expanded RAM capacity in the ASR (not that I'd ever need it personally--I'm just curious)? I know I've seen this question asked here before, but I can't remember seeing the answer.

Hey Michel, you're too modest! :-) .... but yes, Rubber Chicken is _the_ source for EPS/ASR-related stuff. >again, the project has a low budget. High quality string samples are always expensive. You should definetely consider Ensoniq's own EPS 16+ - string-library, too. They did a great job by producing these sounds, both recording- and programming-wise. I don't have a product-number at hand, but I think you should be able to gather this info from their Web-page. There are ensemble-sounds as well as solo-instruments. As usual, the latter sound a little bit cheesier. Although Ensoniq's sounds aren't exactly _cheap_, I seem to remember an offer where they put all "older" sounds on one or two CD-ROMs for a reasonable price. Hope this helps!

This is an interesting one. I don't sit in front of my machine, so I can't give you a step-by-step receipe; nevertheless, I would say that the solution lies somewhere in the depth of the VOLUME MODULATOR CROSSFADE BREAKPOINTS parameter (... I hope it has the same name on the ASR, because I'm referring to the 16+). Set the A-B FADE IN and C-D FADE OUT numbers to appropriate values. This means - as you don't want to achieve actual crossfading, but switching at certain values - that it must look sokmethin like A-B: 0-0 / C-D 15-15 for the first layer, 16-16 / 30-30 for the second and so on. Then assign the RND-modulator as source to VOLUME MOD and set the AMOUNT to maximum (for all layers). If memory serves me right, this should do the trick.

Good question! I assume you are talking about the ASR rather than the 16+ because the two are'nt quite the same. Personally I thought the 16+ handled this matter better than the ASR. On the ASR there is no possibility of sending the FX returns to anything other than the main stereo out's. The 3 additional pairs of outs are always dry. As you correctly pointed out you simply pan the sample in question to treat them as individual outs as opposed to stereo pairs. The prefered setup I use with this equipement is.... Any samples that need FX obviously go out the main stereo pair. On top of this, 99% of the time I only take 1 "AUX" pair to my mixer. This I generally think of as a DRY out. By treating it as a stereo pair it gives me the ability to do the panning in the ASR itself, which ultimately means that I can store more of my mix. Finally, the other 2 pairs of AUX outs I think of as inserts and specials. Like maybe I want one sample to go through a distortion pedal so i will run it out one of these "spare outs straight into the pedal and back into another channel of my mixer of if channels are tight I will bring it back into audio in's on the ASR for further processing or through the dry outs (AUX 1) back into the mixer without wasting any extra channels. The other reason I would use these extra 2 stereo pairs (AUX 2 & 3) would be to bring them back into the mixer so I could then use the mixer's FX send to process through an external device or to apply special EQ via the mixer to specific sounds. The thing that is different with the 16+ that I thought was a good feature which they dropped form the ASR was the you had to assign the FX bus returns either all to the main ST outs (how thw ASR is) or have bus 1 come out AUX1, bus 2 out AUX2 and bus 3 out AUX3. It was more flexible having this choice, particularly for algorithms like the reverb/chorus/delay where some mixing independance over the FX returns was nice. later... ===/===/===/===/===/===/===/===/ Paul Najar JAMINAJAR Production .

Try assigning a slow square wave lfo to the volume of the 7 samples. Samples will then interpolate randomly. If you only want to hear one at a time (this way it is possible that you may hear more than one at a time) put all the layers into monomode. this will help. You don't mention if you use a sequencer. If you wnat to do this in a sequencing enviroment and you use LOGIC (to my knowledge, the only sequencer that will let you do this) you could assign the track with the notes in it through a transformer and randomise the velocity, which, in conjunction with setting each layer to trigger at different velocities IMHO would be the most elegant way to do this. cu ===/===/===/===/===/===/===/===/ Paul Najar JAMINAJAR Production .

I got it from a new band member, and he's more proficient with composing with the built in sequencer than with Cakewalk, which is what I use. However, the 8 track sequencer on the EPS v. the 255 or so with Cakewalk is quite a downer, especially since he can't control anything that isn't in the same midi chain (I run 2 different chains). So the question is, how do I send the sequences from the EPS to Cakewalk? I've thought of several ways, but haven't tried them out yet. One is to set Cakewalk to record, then play all of the tracks on the EPS one at a time, but I'm not sure if this would work. Other than that, I could control the song position and start/stop from cakewalk, but I don't want to deal with having to sync the two clocks, when I could just run 1 master clock and run all of the sequencing from cakewalk (which is my preference, since I'm better with Cakewalk than the Ensoniq). Now, the question is - how do I translate an EPS song file to a SMF, and then put that SMF onto my PC? - -- <-------------------d.rat.net.goth-----------------------> "And the healing hand of the faerie queen will come to all who have faith in her..." - The Huss, 1990 http://www.netwalk.com/~agrooms - Lair of the White Boy http://www.geocities.com/Area51/4065 - The Dark Vale http://decade.home.ml.org Gossamer, Goth for the Zero Decade agrooms@netwalk.com darkvale@geocities.com ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

We are also working on improving graphic quality (and reducing size for faster load times). One last note: For those of you who complain of painfully slow response times-- our FTP and web servers are nowhere near running a heavy load and we have plenty of bandwidth left on our T1. We are connected directly to a backbone in Chicago. But, the problem seems to exist mostly with SoundCentral users outside North America. I believe the bottleneck lies between our provider, SprintNet, and the rest of the world. Our plan for the next 6 months includes adding a second connection to a different provider (MCI probably). Having two seperate taps into different backbones should work us around most bottlenecks. Until then, we'll do the best we can" C'mon guy! Where are all these 600 files?

If anyone finds something that is awkward, incorrect, or have a suggestion, by all means tell me about it instead of simmering in your juices. I can generally respond within a few hours letting you know I received your mail and that I'll look into your suggestion/report. I can't promise a correction that quickly, but I will schedule it in as soon as possible. >I went into Latest News and got the following info you all might find >interesting: >" Sorry about the lack of updates for SoundCentral.

At least throw them into an >uncategorized UPLOAD directory or something! If you cannot index them on a >website, AT LEAST make them available via FTP While I'm glad somebody reads the news, I'd like to take this opportunity to say something about SoundCentral. SoundCentral is a volunteer web site run by a single person (me) who doesn't have a tremendous amount of time to dedicate-- as much as I'd love to. SoundCentral is not part of a large college like Oakland, not part of some large business like AOL or Microsoft, and therefore does not have a large staff or any funding. As some of you are aware, registering a domain, purchasing bandwidth and a permanent connection to the internet, maintaining equipment, etc., etc., is not cheap. I do not expect nor desire anyone's sympathy, but I do expect some understanding that I am doing what I can to help the EPS/ASR community (as well as others) with no budget to speak of and any help anyone can offer is appreciated. SoundCentral is a community-supported effort-- not a commercial venture. As for the 600 files, I was waiting to get the file descriptions from the contributor before placing the files online. I may have misunderstood Todd's tone (if I have, I apologize in advance), but it sounded like he thought I was bluffing and had no new files to add. I have taken his suggestion (a private email would have sufficed) and placed all the "in lieu" sounds in a directory titled "unsorted" on the FTP server. This addition totals 218,282,688 bytes in 1,391 files in 31 directories. So, there are now not only 600 *new* files, but more than *double* that. I hope this is a sign of good faith on my part; that I *am* doing what I can and that I'd love to work with the community so we may all benefit from sharing resources. I realize I might sound upset or angry in this email, but I would like to assure everyone that I am not. However, I *am* frustrated by what seems to be lack of support for this site. It cannot grow with samples unless people contribute to SoundCentral either by uploading their own samples WITH descriptions or supplying links to samples at their web site (again, with descriptions). I'm open for suggestions. I am trying to improve performance, improve the interface, and fix problems as they occur. If anyone has time, suggestions, samples, equipment or anything to donate, lend, or volunteer, please contact me so we can make arrangements. Every little bit of assistance is appreciated. If you'd like to volunteer, I can provide a small list of things that need some attention. I'd like to wrap this up by thanking those who have lent their support and because of them SoundCentral is able to offer what it has to the Ensoniq community: Jeff Marraccini, Oakland Archive, Rubber Chicken Software (aka Garth Hjelte), Markus Jonsson, Jared Valentine, and Flihotz. If I have accidently overlooked someone who has helped in the past, my deepest apologies. While I'm at it, I'd like to apologize for my wordy statement here. ;) I look forward to seeing everyone's contributions.

Hello fellows! This one really caught my attention. I've always loved the "altern" mode in the Yamaha TX (802, 81Z, 16W...) modules : each time you retrigger a note, it plays the next available timbre. Not exactly a random mode, but real fun. I've read Dietz' answer, and his - clever - solution might work on an EPS (didn't try yet), but unfortunately not on the ASR : there is no more "random" generator on the ASR but "noise" instead. The first difference I noticed is that, for panning randomly for instance, you should set the noise rate (in the "Edit Pitch" page) to zero, but still the pan could move (suddenly, not smoothly) within the duration of a sustained sound. As for a random layer mode, the strange thing is that the "noise" modulator does actually alternates randomly layers (provided that their A-B/C-D sttings are correct, as described by Dietz), BUT also modulates the volumes !!! As a result, the higher is the value sent by the (noise) modulator, the lower is the volume at the output (...so you'd get no sound of a layer set to 127). Just choose "wheel" or anything else as a modulator and volume is stable again. So you really need an external random source, as Paul suggested (Hi Paul! I use Logic too...), to get a true random layer effect... unless somebody has an idea to cure this bizarre "noise" modulator? Ensoniq in OS 3.6 maybe?

Subject: EPS: Soundcentral Just want to add a couple notes to what James Olsen mentioned about SoundCentral (forgive me for repeating): 1) For the concerns about European users and the slowness of the connections The bottleneck must be in the Net system through Chicago - the server is not under heavy load itself. Since most of the images are in tables, the page must load completely for the images to show - it's not like a page with just graphics around the page. James has intentionally not made the page so graphic instensive for this reason. A good idea is to turn your Load Images option off, and that should help. If it does not, do what James suggested: e-mail the webmaster at webmaster@soundcentral.com and let him know the time you connected (your time) and what page gave you the problems. As was menioned in the SC News area, there is some effort in trying another trunk that would not go through Chicago - perhaps this will help. 2) For the files that will be uploaded: There other reasons that the files aren't up yet in "web" form - but keep watching! We would like to see SC be a major repository for sounds, and we encourage everyone to upload their contributions to www.soundcentral.com/~incoming 3) (I can say this) I think James has done a great job designing the page - check it out. If you have other ideas, let him know.

Fine solution; possible with Cubase too, BTW. In the studio, I would prefer this to any EPS/ASR-internal "random"-programming; as Gunter c/o Clake pointed out in another message on this subject, you need seven voices to achieve your "randomized" signal inside your sampler, while you need a single voice when you randomize it by means of an external MIDI-device. The way to go would be to edit a different LAYER VEL range for each of them, me me thinks. *** Uhmm ... but - Paul? Could you please elaborate on the following trick?

Hi: I'm a veteran user of both the EPS and EPS 16+. Recently, after converting a sample from a Kurzweil archive into an EPS 16+ readable file (using Terje's K-Snatcher utility), I managed to completely lock up my EPS 16+ when loading this file (via floppy). After turning the unit OFF, and then trying to re-start, the unit will no longer prompt for the OS disk, or go through it's usual start up routine. All that happens is that the 8 instrument lights go on. When I insert the OS (1.30) disk into the drive, it spins for a couple seconds, then stops. All that happens when I press buttons is I get random characters on the screen. I had this exact problem once before, with the exact same instrument (like a total fool, I forgot to trash this disk and inadvertantly made the same mistake again). That time however, I managed to "wake up" the EPS 16+, after rapidly turning the power switch ON and OFF several times. I seem to remember hearing about this as a trick to "hard reset" the newer Ensoniq boards, but don't ever remember hearing about this for the EPS's. Anyway, it worked that time, but this time it does not. Does anyone know how to "wake up" my EPS16+??? If it matters, Terje *has* looked at this particular file, and it is corrupted according to him. It also crashed his EPS 16+, but his was able to recouperate by simply turning the unit OFF and ON again. Also, I have one of the earliest EPS 16+'s, I believe.

Or did I miss the point? > I was typing in a hurry with my last post. Please excuse my lack of explanation. The square wave was in fact wrong. I was thinking of a- random- square shape, which Ensoniq as we all know has taken off the ASR, and has now kindly given us this other thing called noise which you cant control the speed of. (Thanks Ensoniq) I think Deitz you were the one who suggested to set up volume modulator break points, 0>27, 28>41 etc..... for all 7 layers. Well... with this in mind, if we still had a random square as a choice in the LFO section you would then just apply "it" to modulate volume in the edit amp page with the previously specified break points and it would work. I guess a slow triangle wave would do it though just as long as the break points wer'nt "fade in fade out" but rather "full on up to value X and then off". I hope I am making sense now. cu ===/===/===/===/===/===/===/===/ Paul Najar JAMINAJAR Production . Composition . Arrangement .

I've seen his question more and more, so I added to, and am posting the reference to my rcs_tips page, and printing the answer here. http://www.soundcentral.com/~chickeneps/rcs_tips.htm#BurnEnsoniqCDROMS Burning Ensoniq-Formatted CD-ROM's You want to make your own Ensoniq-formatted CD-ROM drive of your own sounds - - or sounds you've collected? It's not that hard. Once again, let's understand the background of what an Ensoniq-formatted CD-ROM's are. Any media needs a format. Books have a format - the table of contents, page numbers, chapters, and (in English) letters and charcters to be read from left to right, and from top to bottom. Same with any storage media in the computer world. Just as all printing presses have a way of recording a book's format, CD-burners have their standard way of "printing" to CD-ROM's. They are usually adapted to ISO-9660. ISO stands for Internation Standards Organization. This is usually called High Sierra (named after Lake Tahoe, USA, hotel where this was decided). It is the file format for CD-ROM's. In another far off world, Ensoniq was dreaming and making the EPS sampler. Since none of the engineers ever heard of Lake Tahoe (just kidding, guys) - THEY MADE UP THEIR OWN FORMAT! At the time, there probably were good reasons for this. And actually, it is very close to the MS-DOS file format and disk geography (where all the information is set to the disk - just like our printing press analogy). But it is different. So, let's talk about making a Ensoniq-formatted CD-ROM using a CD-burner. If you know how to burn a ISO-9660 CD-ROM, you know the same principles don't work for Ensoniq drives. Let's consider them: The computer doesn't give a Ensoniq-formatted drive a drive letter The computer doesn't recognize the Ensoniq files You can't list the files in a file list like you do a ISO-9660 CD But all is not lost! First, you start with a Ensoniq-formatted hard drive that you have worked with with your EPS/ASR. You hook it up to your computer that has a SCSI interface. Most, if not all, computers see SCSI devices through a driver layer. That driver looks at the what SCSI drives are hooked up, compiles a list, and then checks for boot sectors of the drive to see if they are in MS-DOS format. If they are, the driver assigns it a drive letter. If not, it doesn't, but the driver still knows it's there and keeps it in it's own list. Some Adaptec SCSI Basics Adaptec is the SCSI leader in the PC world. They sponsored the WINASPI spec (Windows Adaptec SCSI Programming Interface), and wrote the SCSI device driver that is used in most Windows systems. Good SCSI cards adhere to the WINASPI spec; meaning that they use it's calls and stay compatible with them. All the PC programs that have been written to communicate with Esnoniq devices (SampleVision for Windows, Ensoniq Tools, and the Ensoniq Disk Manager) rely on the WINASPI spec - they will not work on other proprietary systems. The driver you have on your PC is probably an Adaptec driver. To check within Windows if your Ensoniq SCSI Drive is hooked up, and good program to use is EZ-SCSI by Adaptec. Actually, EZ-SCSI is a set of drivers for Adaptec's own SCSI interfaces and a set of utility programs to adminster the SCSI options. SCSI Interrogator is one of those programs, and it simply scans your SCSI bus and sees what SCSI ID's are hooked up. It also has a partioner that can low-level format your SCSI drives (though this usually isn't necessary) and DOS partion your SCSI drives. On to the Copying Process As you peruse your CD-ROM mastering software (which should accompany the purchase of a CD-ROM burner, or is available separately), you'll see that you can select a SCSI Device as a source of data in which to write to a CD-R. And most of the time, it doesn't go by logical drive letters, it goes by SCSI Device numbers, in which the SCSI driver saw at boot-up and knows. Great - now you can use the Ensoniq SCSI device as a source. As far as assigning the SCSI Device as a source, it depends on your mastering software. Presently, I have seen every major mastering software include this option. It might be called SCSI Device (EZ-CD), or sector-to-sector or byte-to-byte transfer. Whatever the case, it is an option which reverts the reading from the source and the writing to the CD-Bruner to a real dumb mechanism: read the first byte and write that to the first byte of the CD-R, second to second, third to third, etc. And thus, eventually you have an exact replica of the Ensoniq-formatted hard drive written to the CD-R. And you are done - just put the CD-R in a SCSI CD-ROM drive hooked up to your EPS/ASR, and you are off!

On the ASR I was not, but it worked with EPSm. I was using the internal drive of my computer also for the ASR (computer driver disabled), since it works well with Ensoniq CDROMs.Or could it be just a problem of the one copy I did? Or is there a known problem transfering from a read-write system to a read-only?

DI-10) to be installed for backing up to DAT. The presence of the coaxial jack behind your ASR doesn't mean that it is fitted with this interface. In fact, as far as I know, no ASR (even the rack version) comes out of the factory equipped with it. - - You need (obviously) a DAT recorder with a coaxial digital Input/Output too. - - You need several special (not audio) DAT cassettes, especially for backing up such a big hard disk: the ASR can back up only on 120m cassettes, which would store... I don't remember exactly how many Mb, but certainly not 1,3 Gb (should be about 80Mb, but I'm not sure). The ASR can backup on as many cassettes as necessary, though. - - You need time. Long, long time. Especially if you want to verify your backup (and you should always do it). And even more if you decide to make spare cassettes (one never knows). All that seems tedious, but I remember it saved my life when I had my whole library on a 270Mb that crashed one day, and when I could finally recover it, thanks to my DAT backups, which was the only way I had at that time. Today, I use a 840Mb hard disk which I backup and restore from time to time on syquest cartridges. In fact, I'm wondering sometimes if an identical hard disk wouldn't be even safer, quicker, and cheaper. I could even copy the 1st drive to it, and have the 2nd as a ready-to-use spare or for touring! (remember, the ASR can only copy to a same capacity storage system. Remember also that a backup is not a copy (it is not useable for loading sounds & banks), and that it is the only way to defragment your files). Hope all this helps (and have a successful tour)!

Among other things you can read your Ensoniq-formatted HD with your computer, including Disctracks, and export it as SDII files, which is a standard computer format. I just record my music (master) with the ASR on Disctracks, import it with EPSm and burn it on CD. EPSm is Mac-only, but I think there are similar programs for PC.

A DDS-90 (DAT Digital Data Storage cassette) will hold 2 Gb of data when used on a computer tape drive. This is a special DAT drive devoted to data backup and uses a different encoding scheme compared to audio DAT. A 90 min. audio DAT should hold at least 1 Gb worth of data. 48k sample rate x 2 bytes per sample x 2 tracks of audio x 60 seconds x 90 minutes = 1 036 800 bytes. > Today, I use a 840Mb hard disk which I backup and restore from time to > time on syquest cartridges.

I would recommend the second identical HD or SyQuest/Iomega Jazz option. A restore would take you close to 90 minutes once you received a new HD and got it running. With the price of hard drives now, it is probably cheaper to invest in a second HD rather than spending the money on the Digital IO and the DAT deck (if needed) Just my two bits;-) ttfn. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tim Rosenquist | Bishop's U. | Due to cutbacks, no more original Technical Assistant | Lennoxville, PQ | quotes will be available.

EPS 16-Plus's have that tendancy to do that - it was a result of the all-digital design. The condition is "fixed" on the ASR.

I will try.... You can make this effect using the sampler. First you sample the vocals. Then you create 2 copies of it in different layers, so you have layer 1 original, layer 2 copy, layer 3 copy, You can pan the layer 2 and 3 where you like and delay the layers slightly with the layer delay parameter. Then you can also detune the layers . I hope this is usable for you.

My ASR is not accessible to me at this time, so I can't test the program to see if it works. I guess you must set the following parms on the effectsprocessor: VC 1 semi zero VC 1 fine +8 Voice 1 vol between 50 and 99 Voice 1 pan -99 VC 2 semi zero VC 2 fine -8 Voice 2 vol between 50 and 99 Voice 2 pan +99 Dry level to DLL I guess 99 so you won't here the direct pitchshifted signal, but only the delayed DLY time L between 30 and 100 ms (or try other values too) DLY time R between 30 and 100 ms (or try other values too) DLY mix Try different values; I am not sure how this control functions. DLY regen Not too high I guess, or it will become muddy I hope this effect works the way you wish.

Both these files are 16-bit self-extracting archieves - they start the installation process when you run them. They are 16-bit so they work in Win 3.x as well and Win95. I am not aware of Win95 processes that do not run 16-bit programs or the like. On a related note, our Tools products are 16-bit for now, and they run great on all Windows platforms (except NT) - there is not an extreme need for full 32-bit versions, they do not add much speed or any features to the programs. But we are working on them, and should be available this summer at some point.

In the message body put: unsubscribe eps To duplicate what you're talking about in the studio, I would need two pitch shigfters or harmonizers and a efx box that wil reproduce true left-right delay. Most of the Yamaha efx units that are stereo will do this. In this way, I wouls tune each harmonizer to the desired shifted pitch, then feed the outputs to the stereo delay, and set that to my desired left-right slap. I would imagine that you can accomplish this live with the ASR usinf the on-board efx, but it can't be done with the EPS.

I'm not a PC owner (and wouldn't use a PC for MIDI or sampling even if I owned one) but I support PC hardware and software for a living. There is a VERY significant difference between 16 and 32 bit apps that is not related to speed or performance of the application. Windows 95 treats 16 and 32-bit apps very differently. 16 bit apps are run in unprotected space, so to speak. They use all the same calls that Windows 3.1 applications use. Remember the Unrecoverable Application Error in Windows 3.0 or its successor, the General Protection Fault and Page Fault in Windows 3.1? These errors are caused by applications that crash. Under Windows 3.1 they bring down the entire GUI and often freeze the computer. Under Windows 95 they bring down the GUI, sometimes allowing you to recover. SOMETIMES. If the application was accessing a hardware device (CD, hard disk, serial port), chances are your computer is frozen. 32-bit apps are run in their own protected space. When a 32-bit app crashes, Windows clears out that space and goes on. It's much cleaner than the 16-bit approach. I won't even get into Windows NT, but it doesn't run 16-bit apps (well, you CAN run them but I don't recommend it.) I use NT 4.0 at work and my PC rarely crashes. The only thing I can get to die on a regular basis is Netscape (but then again it crashes my Mac too.) At any rate, I wouldn't buy a 16-bit app. I understand there are larger issues involved such as the cost of porting the apps and learing new development environments. This isn't a criticism, Garth. I just thought I'd point out some things. Roger Weeks "DOS Computers manufactured by companies such as IBM, Compaq, Tandy, and millions of others are by far the most popular, with about 70 million machines in use worldwide. Macintosh fans, on the other hand, may note that cockroaches are far more numerous than humans, and that numbers alone do not denote a higher life form."

This isn't a criticism, Garth. I just thought >I'd point out some things. I thought I'd respond because although this isn't a Ensoniq-related thread really, it is educational. Thanks for the response, Roger. Let me go further and clarify a couple things. With regard to 32-bit apps, NT and Win95 deal with them differently. NT runs applications and processes in their own 2gig address space, plus the 2gig reserved for the operating systems modules it needs to see. For other shared DLL's, etc, if the app wants to write into that address space, NT makes a copy of that memory that only that app can use - thus the other processes still see the original memory of that shared DLL. That is why NT is so resistant to total crashes. Not completely so with Win95 - even though each application runs in it's own 2gig address space that is not shared by other applications, the OS and shared DLL functions that are still shared among applications - the case poeple make that "Win95 is not a complete 32-bit operating system" is very true. The "SOMETIMES" Roger points out is true. But Win95 is much more secure than Win 3.x, and a 32-bit app has more "survival potential" than a 16-bit one. Since the advantage of a 32-bit app is lessened with Win95, it becomes less of a priority for us to develop a 32-bit version. The other more primary factors were that we want to get the app more the stable in it's present enviroment, and that Tools (especially with the MIDI communication) has other bottlenecks that make it slow (if you can call it slow) by definition - - even if the program was 32-bit, it would be difficult to speed up the MIDI communication and the reading/writing/formatting of Ensoniq volumes. (Microsoft barely let's us have low-level control of disk functions, and totally prohibits low-level dinkering of CD-ROM volumes!) But we recognize the value of a 32-bit version, and it will be available for FREEE to all registered owners. We're not trying to justify our reasoning, but thought this would be informative in a general way to the list.

Hi, ClarkovSaturn! The Track Volume parameter is a Sequencer (not Instrument) parameter. The Mix setting is recorded (or rerecorded) each time you recorded a track. Within a track you can have more then one Mix event. So if you want to change Mix parameter - set REC MODE to ADD, adjust Mix value and press RECORD-PLAY. After the few first bars are recorded - press STOP and KEEP NEW TRACK. You can also search MV events in EVENT EDIT TRACK and change their value as needed. More information - ASR musician manual, page 225. Bye!

Acquire a stereo noise gate or gated expander and hang it off of the ASR outputs. Also, you might try to normalize each wave used in the sample set, this will optimize the signal to noise ratio of the over-all sound.

If you update volume via this method more than a couple of times, you might begin to experience jumps in level on certain tracks. The remedy for this is to filter/delete mix volume messages from the track, and then do a record/add to reset the track levels.

The 1510 is a 16 bit ISA, I believe the controller chip is the AIC6260. The 1520 uses the same controller, but has a boot BIOS onboard and the DMA capability. (I can't recommed the DMA on this card since it won't provide you a noticable difference. If you want DMA performance go for the 154x, but it costs much more.) The 1522 is identical to the 1520 with the inclusion of a floppy drive controller. I have worked with all of these cards. I could go into more detail, but if you really need the info, visit Adaptec's web site. > > The adaptec 1510 (or it's plug and play variant) would be the card > > of choice for an inexpensive ISA SCSI card.

Hi Simon, I don't understand exactly what you mean by "noise" (hiss? Hum? Distortion?). What might happen is that filter parameter values of the EPS (0-127) are not always well translated to the ASR-10 (0-150). As for your "too much polyphony" problem (again, if i understood correctly), it could be solved by sequencing a "voice eater" instrument, that you assign to an unused output (aux. 3, for instance).

If you know the answers, or even better, where to find the answers, please mail me 1) EDE will not format OS disk on my new Pentium !!! ------------------------------------------------- I am using a tool called EDE, and I try to make a new OS2.49 disk for my EPS classic. Every time I encounter a sector problem at the boot sector. I have also tried to format a blank disk, not previously IBM formatted. I have tried with both DD and HD disks. Strange thing is that I think I have used the program before on my last computer, an old IBM486/sx. I can neither format the disks back to PC 1.44M format afterwards. Or perhaps there is a newer OS version? I have a shareware version, would it help to register it? 2) EPS Classic tech specs. ----------------------- I've had an argument with my friend who says that my EPS classic is a 16 bit sampler, but I'm sure it is either 12 or 13 bit. And the EPSPlus and the ASR /-88 is 16 bit. I've been to the Ensoniq internet pages, no information. I guess it would be printed on the first page of the users manual, so... 3) Where can I get the original manual set? ---------------------------------------- 4) Can I expand my sampler beyond the 4MB already on the SCSI-card? ---------------------------------------------------------------- 5) What SCSI drive would a complete technical idiot like me buy. ------------------------------------------------------------- Since I've seen lots of mails about Ensoniq/SCSI etc, I would like to have the name of one special new SCSI drive that will work perfectly, about 1GB would be nice. I would like a setup so that I can edit the files on the SCSI drive VISUAL on my computerscreen. What software do I need and how much will it cost. Should the drive be PC or EPS formatted? Would the PC get the information on the drive through the EPS and the drive EPS formatted or the other way around. If the SCSI port on the EPS is SCSI-1 and the SCSI card I use with my scanner is SCSI-2 (wide) would this cause a problem? If the SCSI port on the EPS is SCSI-1 it will probably be able to adress about 500MB (I've read this somewhere). If I do buy a 1GB drive, could i format it to two logical drives? 6) Is it possible to buy the original EPS Classic software for PC? --------------------------------------------------------------- 7) I paid about 450 dollar for the sampler. ---------------------------------------- What is the average price ca for such gear? +------------------------------------------------+ | | | Pers, eller bare litt toerst?

The problem is in your computer, not EDE. EDE accesses the floppy disk drive through the computer's BIOS. In the mad rush to get new Pentium systems into the marketplace, many manufacturers no longer test for 100% IBM-PC compatibility - they just test for MS-DOS compatibility. Ensoniq diskettes use a different sector structure (sectors 0-9 on DD and 0-19 on HD) (MS-DOS uses 1-9 and 1-18). Sometimes, errors occur in the BIOS which only show up outside the MS-DOS range. Some manfacturers have corrected these errors in later releases. Others never do. Gateway recently corrected their 133MHZ Pentium BIOS and the upgrade can be downloaded for free. Check with the manufacturer to see if you have the latest version of your BIOS.

Do yourself a favour and get Giebler's "Ensoniq Disk Manager".

[...] Your friend is wrong; the original EPS (often referred to as the "Classic") does 13 bit sampling, but 16 bit internal processing (... to put it simple).

Uhhmm ... it may be a hard blow - but your EPS only has 2 MB RAM (... that's a little bit more than 4000 "Blocks", as Ensoniq calls them). It says "$x Expansion" on the back, because the original original :-) EPS only hat about 500 KB RAM. No way that there is (or even _could be_) more memory inside your machine; the OS couldn't address it, anyway (... I think that's the actual answer to your question). And although it doesn't make any difference - the SCSI-card sits on the memory-expansion, not the other way round ... 8-) >5) What SCSI drive would a complete technical idiot like me buy.

If you want to edit the _filestructure_ of your EPS-disks, you will (again) need Giebler's EDM (see question 1). If you mean to edit _samples_, you don't necessarily need SCSI, because you could either dump your samples via MIDI to a dedicated software like "Alchemy" (for Mac) or "SampleVision", or read them directly from EPS-disks (again with EDM), convert them to *.WAVs and use shareware like "Cool Edit" (... nothing for the faint-hearted :-). If you want to edit your EPS-_parameters_ from the screen, there's no real alternative to Rubber Chicken Software's "EPS/ASR-Tools" - which does some file-managing too, BTW. Ask Garth Hjelte for details. > Should the drive be PC or EPS formatted? Would the PC get the > information on the drive through the EPS and the drive EPS > formatted or the other way around. EPS disk-format is proprietary and _not_ PC compatible; the only way to access them from the computer is on behalf of the software-packages mentioned above (EDM or Tools). .... I hope this is the answer to your (somewhat confusing) question ...? > If the SCSI port on the EPS is SCSI-1 and the SCSI card I use with > my scanner is SCSI-2 (wide) would this cause a problem?

I'm using the Waveboy Resonant filter to create filter sweeps for some technotrance tracks. The filter is controlled by the ASR mod wheel (100%, that is, wheel all the way down produces no sound, while wheel all the way up is full open filter). The problem is this: when I sequence a long filter sweep (several bars long), using PowerTracks Pro, it works fine if there are no other tracks playing on the PC. However, if the PC is playing ASR sounds on other tracks, when the other sounds play they appear to reset the position of the Mod wheel, affecting the sound of my currently sweeping filter. For instance, if the sweep is 80% open, and approaching 100%, but a kick drum plays, the filter will drop to, say, 30% open, making it impossible to produce smooth sweeps when other tracks are playing. Currently, I am using the resampling feature on the ASR to create drumloops (from the sequencer) that only need to be sounded once, so that I don't interrupt the sweeps, but this is a huge pain. Any ideas? Thanks...Paul ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

SCSI-2 isn't really wide SCSI, it is involves more commands. Wide SCSI is a 16-bit SCSI bus.

The Transoniq Hacker mentions in this issue (quote from Ensoniq themselves): [TH - Ensoniq had the following comments way back in TH #56... "The EPS uses 13-bit samples as source material, and all internal RAM is indeed 13 bits wide. Any signal processing operations are performed with 16-bit resolution to prevent signal degradation. The sample interpolator and digital filters have 24-bit resolution and the final signal is played back through a 25-bit floating point converter with 13 bits for waveform data and 12 bits of volume control. Though it is correct that the EPS stores and plays back 13-bit samples, you can still get excellent results generating DSP samples at 16 bits and then sending them over to the EPS for playback. This is exactly how we create many of our factory sounds."] >4) Can I expand my sampler beyond the 4MB already on the SCSI-card?

The four programs we know of that do this are EDM ($34.95) and our Tools products (starting at $39.95) for the PC, and EPSm and scEPSi for the Mac.

This gets rid of the "...LOCATING..." message that stays there until you realize that it's not going to go away. I don't know if it has anything to do with memory allocation or what but this improved performance a little. If I didn't do this, the ASR would crash 95% of the time when syncing to tape.

Have you seen this already? Yes I sure have. That is really the only error message I have ever seen on my ASR-10, and it usually only happens when I am trying to do the exact same thing you are trying to do. I synchronize my ASR-10 to a JLCooper DataSync2 synchronizer and an Alesis ADATxt. It works beautifully, but if I try and start the ADAT in the middle of a song, the ASR-10 will usually lock up with that exact same error message. > 2. What can be the solution? Do I have to change my settings on ASR (I > turned Program Change and Midi Controllers receiving OFF, too), or it is > simply too slow for this operation? I'm not sure if there is a solution. I'm no expert when it comes to Ensoniq hardware, but I have a feeling that you have already answered your own question....the ASR10's tiny little 10mhz processor (it is 10, right?) just can't negotiate the synchronization fast enough to keep up with your hard disk recorder. Therefore, instead of just not synching properly, it just craps out and gives you the "REBOOT" message. If any of you Ensoniq or Rubber Chicken people are listening I would love to hear what opinions you have on this matter, because I certainly have no idea what I'm talking about :) The only way I've ever found around this problem is to just avoid it. When synchronizing my ASR-10 to an external device, I always start the sequencer from the beginning of the song and let it play all the way through to the end every time. It's a pain in the ass, but this is the only way I've found that keeps the ASR-10 from either losing sync or locking up. Hope that helps. - -TyPe0 ||====> type0@primenet.com <======||-----------------------------|| ||==> type0@31337records.com <====|| =-+ RaDi0 FrEe AmErIcA+-= || || http://www.primenet.com/~type0 ||---------------------------- || ||--------------------------------|| T y P e 0 || ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Some time ago I experienced the same "trouble"! Every time, when you play or record sequence or song, Ensoniq creates some "hidden" data, that is needed to "sync" Audio Tracks with your current seq\song. As far as I'm understand, this data dramaticaly overload Ensoniq processor, when you rapidly change location points into your song\sequence. (You see "Locating" for a long time on Ensoniq display). So - you may find some solutions in two ways: 1) Always disable audiotracks if you are not using them in your current project. (Command - System\MIDI - Configure audio tracks - OFF) 2) (This maybe is more important) Never start the external sequencer when ASR-10 display shows "LOCATING"!!! Wait until this word is gone and only after that start playing or recording! I think if you'll follow these simple "rules", you will see the "Error 144..." message not so often! (These rules works for me!) BTW - "144" error - is "MIDI buffer overflow" or smth like this! Bye!

The documentation was >sketchy at best. I'm hoping some of you kind folks can dial me in on the >creation of macrofiles. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Macro's are like markers. They can mark any position anywhere in all your hard disks(HD) and floppy disk drives. EG: You are looking at a file somewhere on your HD and all of a sudden you need to load a floppy. So you put the floppy in the drive , but wait!!! you then have to go into COMMAND/SYSTEM and scroll (10 keystrokes later) to find the command CHANGE STORAGE DEVICE. Then hit enter then select FLOPPY and then hit load. What a bore. How many keystrokes was that(far too many). With a macro you could be back at your HD and with just 2 keystrokes be looking at the floppy you just put in. When you set up your HD (format etc...) if you use the default directories function a macrofile (MF)gets created as file number 5 in the root directory of the HD you are setting up. It is file #5 for a good reason. If like most of the ensoniq ASR community you boot the ASR from your HD and file #5 on the boot HD is a macrofile it will be automatically loaded. This is desireable. If during the format/setup of your drive a macrofile is not created you can do so by going into CMD-SYSTEM and use the function SAVE MACROFILE. This will put a macrofile on you HD in the directory you are currently in. For confusion's sake make sure you are in the root directory. Each MF can store up to 28 "macro's". To create a macro, select the location you want remembered. Then in LOAD MODE (load light flashing) Presss and hold the LOAD botton. While holding LOAD select a 1 or 2 digit number (between 1 & 28) and then still while holding LOAD press the ENTER key. Voila! You have just created a macro. To select, ore invoke a macro at any time simply press and hold LOAD while selecting a previously created macro number and then let go of LOAD and you will be taken within you disk structure to wherever your macro was originally stored to take you. One last step. Once you have had a bit of a session setting up macro's you will need to save the MF before powering down or your macro work will be lost. Do this. 1. Make sure you are in the directory that your macrofile is stored in. 2. Go to COMMAND-SYSTEM / SAVE MACROFILE. 3. Hit ENTER. If you have done everything correctly the ASR will ask DELETE OLD VERSION? Ansswer yes and you are done. If the ASR does not ask DELETE OLD VERSION? this means one of two things. You are either not in the directory that the MF was last saved in, OR you never created a MF in the first place in which case you have just saved a new macrofile. cu ===/===/===/===/===/===/===/===/ Paul Najar JAMINAJAR Production .

I just hope that they get a clue over at Ensoniq and release the ASR-X with a RISC chip built in, or something faster than whatever 68K mutant they've got in the current set. The CPU is just not fast enough for the tasks the operating system is performing. This was not the case with the EPS and EPS-16+. They weren't handling chunks of memory as big as the current operating system is, even when you have disk and memory tracks turned off. Earlier versions of the operating system didn't do this. 1.62 was zippy in comparison. Either a rewrite of the kernel or a new chip set would do the trick. I would prefer the former, but doubt it will happen. I doubt the latter will happen, but in the tradition of Microsoft it is *more likely* to happen. ("Oh, we don't actually have to improve our product, we'll just make the cruft run faster.") I actually suggest that if you aren't using a lot of the complex functions of OS, that were introduced in later releases, that if you were to downgrade back to 1.62, some of your timing problems might disappear. You can also use as small samples as possible, make sure that your instruments, sequences and DSP are "memory-clean" and program long spaces at the end of your song, so that its not leaving a voice hanging when it stops which frequently seems to aggravate the "Error 144 Reboot?" problem.

I'd like to start this response by saying thank you for attempting to submit sounds. Are familiar with any FTP program? There are many freeware, shareware and commerical FTP programs available on the internet. Connect to "ftp.soundcentral.com" and change into the directory titled "incoming" and upload your sounds. *how* you upload sounds depends on your FTP client. In addition to uploading the sound itself, providing a detailed description is essential. We are restructuring the "submission" area because the forms are quite ghastly to look at and aren't well worded. We hope to use some Java technology to make submitting new sounds a snap. We have several other changes in store for the look and feel of SC. It should improve the ease of use and add some visual aethetics too. Thanks again for wanting to upload sounds.

Thanks. It is possible. You could also see the postings to the eps list with the subject "Switching the EPS efx from a sequencer" from 23 may 1996 You can not expect to switch effects instantly without side-effects/noise, If that is a problem, you need a silent time span with no signals sent to the effect when you switch. It is possible to switch effects.but.. It may require some preparations to do so, and that may not be appealing in your application. I don't do these things the way I will describe, but you could do them, and they could perhaps be acceptable for changing effects during mix down or changing effects during live performance. It will require that you save the instrument configurations after the planned switches as a banks. You would then initiate the effect switching by loading the bank by Midi commands. The bankload would be quite fast when the nessecary instruments are already loaded. That is because the ASR/16+ is smart enough to know it does not need to reload instruments if they are already loaded. Thus only a small file, 6-8 blocks, will be loaded. This will be faster when loaded from a SCSI hard disk, but fast also when loaded from a floppy. You can load a bank by issuing program changes. Exactly how you organize yourself in doing so is a matter of personal preference. You may use a combination of macros ( accomplished by program no 101-127 ) and directory changing program numbers to navigate ton the bank.

Audio CDs I think the "SCSI Copy" doesn't work for Audio CDs. You need some utility (e.g. MoviePlayer, CDtoAIFF) to copy the tracks one by one from the CD to the Mac's HD. (It takes a long time. The tracks will be saved in AIFF file format, in 44.1 kHz, 16 bit, stereo.) When you copied all the files, you can write the CD with the Toaster, selecting the "Audio CD" format and the files from the HD. (The advantage is that you can collect tracks from diffferent CDs and write them together on one CD.) 2. Ensoniq CDs I think you can try with the Toaster: to save the contents of your cartridge into a "Disc Image" on the Mac's HD. (I have Toaster 3.0.3, but AFAIR the 3.0.2 has the same option.) After you should write it onto a CD from the disc image. Please send info about result, cause I am also interested in this, but haven't tried it yet. (I have tried it for "blind" copying CDs written in another format, e.g. ISO. It always worked.)

I'd be interested to find out what kind of development system is used and what the specs are for the DSP chip. A company called WaveBoy produces third-party effects algorhythms.

Never had a problem. UNTIL NOW: I frequently reformat my quantum scsi hard disk (cicra 1993) so I can use it with an Adaptec PC scsi card, with a mac se30 and with the eps 16+. I I borrowed a Roland VS880 hard disk recorder and decided to use my hard disk to tarnsfer wav files over scsi. I took the internal termintator resistors out of the hard disk and put on a passive terminator (so I could connect the VS880 to the PC and not switch cables. I formatted the disk with the VS880 and with Windows 95) did my work, shut down, disconnected the drive from the pc and reconnected to the 16+.. I formatted the disk with os1.3 and copied system to it. Shut down, hooked back to the mac, restored my files with EPSm. Now I get DRIVE NOT RESPONDING error (mosly during command save instrument). I can get by this by saving to floppy or sometimes restarting the hard disk and command system change storage device. It might be a drive timeout problem as well. One more problem: my wife vacuumed the basement and I can only find one terminator resister. Is the passive terminator the problem? Or should I format the disk with Mac system 7.0.1, then with the 16+ os 1.3 or EPSm and keep the passive terminator? Or are there drive format parameteris for Adaptec, Windows 95 or Mac OS that I need to set?

I have 16MB in my ASR which is enough for a demo included vocals. You don't need the disktracks. (Which is unfortunately too difficult and too slow to use for an average person... I am very polite. :) I always used a mike, but maybe you can try without it. :))) If you want you can use some effects while recording, but it depends on your taste. Cause you can add some effects at the final mixing, too. (I don't have a good template to follow.) So sample your vocals into the RAM (= create a new instrument for this). You can record more parts of the vocal and you can adjust the range of the wavesamples on the keyboard, after you only have to push the keys in the current sequence. Don't forget to normalize the samples after sampling (Select the wavesample and: Command / Amp / Normalize Gain). Edit the samples if you want (e.g. cut the start or the end - make it as short as possible - for freeing up the memory). >I'd like to hear some firsthand experiences from people, who >have recorded vocals w/ASR.

I feel so stupid. For the first time, I'm trying to transfer a *.img file from my PC hard drive to a diskette for use in my ASR-10. I've got both EDE (the shareware from the Ensoniq website) and Epsdisk, and I can't get either one to work. EDE **seems** to work. The file is called "vocode.img." I tried renaming it to vocode.eda and put it in my c:\ede directory. (It's a vocoder simulation a friend of mine wrote. If it's good, I'll pass it on.) I put in a double-density diskette, and it makes all its beeps and boops. When I put the diskette into the ASR, though, it tells me "Bad device ID." 2 potential problems: 1. Can I rename it like that? And 2, why does it have to be a double-density disk? Shouldn't the ASR use a high-density one? I can't seem to get EPSdisk to do anything at all.

A real friend wouldn't give you a file without telling what kind of file it is. It can be specified by specifying a)which sampler, if any, it originates from, b) what size of floppy, if any, was used and c) which program was used d) on what platform. Be aware that, whatever kind of file it was meant to be, your particular file might be corrupted. Without knowing anything it is a good guess that a file named *.img is a direct image of an EPS/ASR floppy and can be handled on a PC by EPSDisk. However you first need to make sure EPSDisk works on your computer. > I put in a >double-density diskette, and it makes all its beeps and boops. When I put >the diskette into the ASR, though, it tells me "Bad device ID." 2 potential >problems: 1. Can I rename it like that? And 2, why does it have to be a >double-density disk? Shouldn't the ASR use a high-density one? 1. Sometimes you may rename the file, just like you have done. But it depends upon what kind of file you have. 2. An ASR can use HD floppies as well as DD floppies. Normally you need to use a floppy that matches the size of the image. You can make some guesses as to what kind of file you have by looking at what is it's file size. If the file size matches the size of a floppy disk exactly, then it can probably be opened by EPSDisk and the name *.img should be left as it is. You can see which sizes these are in EPSDisk( T) Disk Types ). You need to multiply the sizes given in K by 1024 to get sizes in bytes. You need to set EPSDisk to work with the correct size and you need to use the right size floppy. If the filesize is 819200, 737280, 1474560 or 1638400 then you may _sometimes be able to rename file to .*ede or *.eda and use EDE,( but in those cases you could also use EPSDisk.) Maybe you have such a file. It is a slight indication if EDE "makes all its beeps and boops" for OK files? I would be surpriced if EDE actually does that, but I don't know. Currently, I'll leave it there. >I can't seem to get EPSdisk to do anything at all. >I'm using a clone P-133 with Win95. Perhaps that is a Win95 problem?

Bending down an octave is OK. If I roll my pitch wheel up and play an "A" key, note the pitch, release the pitch wheel and play an "A" one octave up, I notice that the pitch-bended "A" is a little flat (about 15 cents off). I have troubleshooted this problem fairly well using a tuning fork, a MIDI monitor (which shows the pitch bend data not going full swing), the internal diagnostics, and another synth module. So, I know for sure it's the EPS. I also happen to be a technical minded person who understands a good amount of electronics. Seeing how my EPS is now long out of warranty I decided to check voltages within the EPS itself. The -12V regulator on the main board was out of spec, showing - -12.9V, so I replaced it. This regulator along with a +12V regulator is what supplies the voltage to the pitch wheel potentiometer supplying (a relative) 24 volts. This didnt seem to help, however the internal diagnostics showed more stable numbers for the pitch and mod wheels, whereas before the high end of the scale seemed to be a little "noisy", never giving the same number twice. So I investigated further, and have found that the three 5V regulators on the power supply board all measure 4.9 volts, which is just about borderline for most TTL circuits. I will be replacing these today. If this doesnt work, then I will have only one other thing to replace: the pitch wheel potentiometer itself. Question: Has anybody else experienced this? What was done about it? I have read repeated warnings about what to look at on the internal diagnostics page in the EPS, and what not to look at, and abide by the rules. I know what DC offset is as far as being related to an audio signal, but what is MSB (Most Significant Bit) Adjustment for? I'm guessing at this point to say that MSB Adjustment is again another audio/sample related adjustment, and not something related to the way the mainboard interperets an external voltage like pitch, mod, or CV. If anybody can help or suggest, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise, I'll keep plugging along here until I exhaust all "safe" moves. Also, is somebody has an excerpt from a technical manual about the pitch and its calibration, I would like to see it.

It seems that the diskdrive in the ASR10 " knows" when a disk is 2D or HD (not like the eps classic in which you could use any floppy ). You could try covering with tape the little box in the upper left corner of the disk, so your ASR will " think " its a 2D floppy and will read it properly. (however some of the wizards of this list disagree with this method... I will say just use it to load the sound and then save to a properly formatted HD floppy. I hope this works!

You're right, It's okay for a temporary fix. The problem is that that window on the disk is read by the disk drive, and is used to change the write current to the disk. The write current is doubled (600 oersteds) when using an HD disk. Because of the way that the media is designed, when you use an HD disk as a substitute for a DD by covering the notch, you're writing a very weak signal to that disk (half of the level expected). Because of the shape of the oxide particles, and the weak write current, the disk that you just recorded is going to SELF-ERASE in a matter of weeks. When going in the other direction, by taking a DD disk an using a tool to notch it, you'll be writing to the disk with double the signal that the disk is designed for. I think that you'll fing this disk to be unreadable about a week after you create it. Frank <"Simon Barquera-Cervera"> wrote: > > Hi there, > I had kind of a similar problem.

Quite probably, as mentioned below, the EPS does not provide terminator power. Most drives just need a jumper flipped so that they will provide termination power to the SCSI bus. As mentioned below as well, you can get a replacement terminator, but Quantum tends to use a value and package that you will not be able to get in ANY electronic store without pulling lots of teeth. The solution there (as one of my friends in Ottawa, ON discovered) is to call Quantum and ask them to send you a replacement set. My friend received them next day courier for no charge!

I just bought a used TS-12. Is any subscriber familiar/have one? Here's my problem: No sound on playback of recorded sequencer track. I 'replace sound' for a sequencer track, press Record/Play which starts the metronome; when I begin playing, it shows recording, and measure count increments; then I press Stop to stop (!) ... But pressing Play reveals no sound! I can see the counter increment, then stop automatically at the measure where the recording stopped, but all the while No Sound! Anybody else experience this? Maybe I didn't push a button right, or some weird setup somewhere. Would appreciate some counsel!! THANKS!

I have been downloading all the samples I have been able from different sites on the internet. There are some really cheesy but some of them are amazing for its simplicity, the efficient use of memory and sound. It' s a shame that in most of the cases you need to download and convert the disk before knowing what' s inside due to the lack of descriptions. Any way just in case I'm going to describe some stuff I really recommend (just keep in mind that I' am not a pro, I am a Ph.D. candidate and music is only my hobby, ok?): (I don't remember the exact names or URLs but that is easy to find) Somewhere out there is a collection PD01.gkh, PD02.gkh, ... PD45.gkh, etc. This is a great collection of sounds (not all but some of them). It has a nice korg piano (2disks pd3 and pd4), lots of analog synths, it has it has 1 or 2 really nice classic drum machines, organs, etc., it also has some sounds for jazz and rap, loops, and even George Bush saying some silly stuff. It must be an old collection since all of them are images of 2D floppies for the EPS. Some of them even come with demo sequences. They are memory optimized (some disk have as much as 15 sounds) obviously no patch select in most of them. Lots of Oberheim, Moogish, old ana-korg, roland drums, etc). I also downloaded some of the free stuff in Rubber Chicken' site. Wow, this is great stuff (simple but with great patches and details). (Men, the minute I decide I will actually BUY something, it will be from you). There is one sound that I really love, it is called: SUPERLEAD. with 4 great combinations. The 00 is a solo synth "a - la" Wakeman, really great with portamento or something like that. The 0* is a nice solo synth with delay and reverb (?, I am not sure about this), etc. I think there is really great sounds out there, however it' s hard to find them out. It will be nice if we share the tips here when a nice sample is finded. BTW the EPS Sound Central is dead for some days this month. BR, Simon. - ------------------------------------- ps.

Now that I have Cubase I have been transferring some of my old EPS16+ sequences. The problem is the effects don't sound the same. I like how they are on the EPS16 sequence but I can't get them to behave the same way when I use Cubase as the sequencer. I got used to and like how the effects change depending on how many tracks are playing. For example a vocal sample alone through the Wah sounds nice and underwater and then when the drums come in it gets clearer. With Cubase it just sounds like mud. Any suggestions?

(you'll choose keep, I guess) After that, the track should have a dot at the right end of the track's name that indicates data on that particular track.

I'm an EPSm owner and I use EPSdisk with success all the times, but I also had my little problems in the end with not getting anything on the disks. It is not a Win95 problem 'cause I've run EPSdisk on WIN95 without any problems. To get a .wav file (converted to .efe with AWave) onto an EPS disk I use an EPS formatted disk formatted either on my EPS or in EPSdisk. Since I use an EPSm the disk type in EPSdisk is defaulted to the right format, so maybe you should try changing the disk T)ype. If you have an ASR formatted disk in your PC drive choose W)rite file. !!!NOTE:The AWave converted files must be in the same directory as EPSdisk!!!!! Then type a: (return), return again on the next question and then the DOS filename (example:bassdrum.efe) You can even use DOS 'shortcuts' like *.efe if you have several files. Then EPSdisk should gladly write the file to your disk.

What is unexpected is that EPSm doesn't recognize the CD-ROM drive when I try to use the "set SCSI ID" command. It claims there is no SCSI/ASR/EPS device at that ID (which I have changed to ID 5). EPSm is able to recognize the ASR formatted drive at ID 6. My SCSI probing software recognizes all attached devices correctly. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong or omitting? Some details: - the ASR is not in the chain at all - a Syquest drive is located at ID 4 (recognized and mountable) - I changed the pins on the CD-ROM so it is now located at ID 5; I assume it's not terminated since it's always been between the Mac HD and the ASR HD - an ASR formatted drive is at ID 6; it is terminated - the CD-ROM drive is an Apple 300i (which uses a Sony mechanism, I believe) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

No one can tell the difference *if* the sample is close enough to being properly looped. But a slight timing difference in the length of the sample and the length of the measure (we're talking milliseconds here) can alter the feel of the loop, and give it more of a lazy, laid back quality (if the loop is a little too long), or a bit of a rushing quality with a hiccup (if the loop is a little too short). Many producers use these timing effects deliberately, to create the groove they want. - Russ ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

We have been working with the ASR-X a little bit (just in). Here's some highlights. It sounds real good. Right now it seems to be more a complex MR-Workstation that samples. It seems a little funky to get around on the unit - SMALL DISPLAY. But then again. it's more than 22-characters... It is not able to read EPS or ASR disks yet - they are working on a OS upgrade (on ROM, you can get the chips directly from Ensoniq) for reading and translating the samples. It seems like a done deal - they won't back out like they did the MR. SCSI is not available yet, but that will probably be in the same package as the EPS/ASR compatibility. Even though it has pads (1 octave worth), it transposes with a touch of a button, and it is fully accessible via MIDI - think of it as a "rack-mount", if you aren't the hip-hop rappin kinda guy... There are a bunch of ROM sounds, so they have gone the way of Kurzweil. 34mb total possible memory, 72-pin slot(s). You can put an 8mb SIMM, 16mb, or 32mb SIMM in, so you can upgrade slowly (although with cheap memory these days, I can't see why). I think it looks very worthwhile - it's confusing now, probably because we have to shed the ASR-10 pardigms and unit is still new. At $1500, good deal. Oh, to answer your question: no you mean a OS update for the ASR to read .WAV files? No, I think that's very unlikely. I can't see Ensoniq contributing precious development resources to an older system. (Do it with a computer - it's easier - and besides, .WAV files aren't necessarily the best format - no parameters, no looping, no nothing).

For some reason, if you try to sample at weird rates when it resamples in real time it causes artifacts. It is solved by sampling at the default data rate, which is 44 KHz if I remember right, and then change the sample rate to whatever you want, it works much better. Of course this is impossible for really long samples (bigger than the memory of the EPS), but for really long samples you aren't worried about filtering the click at the start and stop. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Thanks to all who responded to my "burn an ensoniq CD" questions. Most who replied suggested making an image of the 270 platter first. It worked perfectly. I can even boot the ASR from the CD. I thought I would compile a few further thoughts about things one should consider when doing this. CD drives on the ASR SCSI chain are required to be on SCSI id #4. For me that is fine, but when I made the copy of my 270 all the banks and macrofiles were set for SCSI id #2 (my syquest id#). This is a little hassle, but there are workarounds. For the macrofiles what you need to do is connect the HD set to SCSI id #4. Then you have to recreate all the macro's while connected at id #4. Save them with a different name. Then when you make an image and burn your CD you will be able to load the macrofile's tthat pertain to SCSI id #4. Because I forgot to do this my workaround has been to create the id #4 macrofiles on a floppy, so after booting from my CD I have to manually load the correct macrofile from my floppy. For the banks that have the wrong SCSI id# there is a much more simple workaround. If you have EPSm on the mac it gives you the ability to - -globally- change the SCSI id's of all you banks in one go. As a final step before making your image to burn a CD from, I highly recommend it. Be aware though that this approach will only work if all the bank SCSI id's are for the same SCSI device. If you have more than one SCSI peripheral that your banks point to then this global approach won't work. You will have to do them individually. Hope all this helps.

Sorry to all die-hard Ensoniq users out there, but a sampler that won't do this feature is beyond ridiculous in 1997. Absolutely no excuse for it. I loved the sound of the ASR, but nothing can justify this. I didn't buy an ASR to then get a $400 piece of software and a $150 SCSI interface just to be able to do basic editing functions. A note to Ensoniq: if the goshdarned thing won't do over 50% accuracy, why on EARTH do you have the scale go to 99?!?!?!? You shoulda called 50 99. Though on a long sample, I would still have noticed the difference.

Just note that Ensoniq have used SCSI ID 4 on their CD ROMS, meaning any demo banks loaded from the CD require that the CD is on ID 4. Lord Humungus wrote he is copying stuff from the ROM to an ASR Hard drive. I thought I might put in some comments and hints. Note that banks will then not automatically be valid. EPSm contains many functions by which you can make sure the banks are vailid. Backing up the whole CD and restoring it to a hard drive will accomplish most of that of coarse. You can also retain a files' logical location within the directory tree when you copy by making partial backups (from CD) and partial restores (to ASR harddrive "by logfile" ). Further, you can also change the SCSI ID of all referenced instruments in all Banks on the drive, by one single command.

I save an effect as a file on a scsi storage device. the file has a number so I've got the number of the program change, but I don't know what midi channel to send the program change to when in multi mode in order to load the effect. also, can I control different parameters of the effect in real time on the same midi channel? Next, I'm interested in the opinions of other musicians using digital samplers in regards to expanding the power of a sampler in two different ways: a)by expanding the ram in the sampler so that larger sounds or more memory can fit into the sampler on one time or by b) investing a similar amount of money in a larger SCSI storage device (100meg zip drive) in order to create more files of smaller sounds that take up less memory, then circulating those sounds in a sequence or song via program changes from an external sequencer. What exactly will be the difference? I understand that each way facilitates a different style of sequencing, but which would be a more efficient use of power for contemporary styles of electronic music such as drum&bass, house, techno, and tripp hop? Would expanding the ram be more useful for a live performance? help please, blue alien ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I've used the time compression/expansion a lot, and "quality" levels of 70 seem to work as well as 99 (which can take forever). I like the function, though, more for distortion and weird effects that for the thing it was designed for.

At first I want to mention that I'm living in Saint -Petersburg (Russia) and I know almost all Ensoniq owners in the city. And the quantity of TS-10 owners is incomparably more than the quantity of ASR-10 owners.I mean you can kill two birds with one stone if you will support interests of TS-10 owners.And my suggestions are : 1. It would be great if I could edit any parameter of ASR- sample such as envelops, filters, lfo, effects, patch select and so on and later store them. 2.It would be great if I could load ASR-sample from a Giebler -file and see waveforms and edit them (clear, truncate , normalize and .....any ASR processing function). This is not so important as the first suggestion because I can use any sound editor. 3.It would be great if I had an opportunity to disable MIDI at all because it is very annoying to wait for the reply of ASR which does not exist. And finally I would like to ask you if your program is going to support ASR-X and when it can happen.

I remember this because it was an issue with Waveboy's effects - that they didn't update the sound, only the display. To be more specific, you can change: 1) The parameter offered in the algorithm with a selected controller, or 2) Any of a pre-selected 9 parrameters on each algorithm via sys-ex.

My order of preference is: 1) SCSI interface 2) Hard drve 3) Memory for the reason that the extra memory doesn't do much good unless you have external storage space.

At least there are no jack provisions on the back. Let me go further - there is tentively going to be a First Look article on the ASR-X (written by yours truly) next issue. I recommend subscribing to the Transoniq Hacker (503-227-6848) and getting the e-Hacker, so you can get the full story. But I can describe a little here and there for now. It is a little premature to compare the ASR-X with the ASR-10. The X is basically a stripped down MR with sampling thrown in. But I'd rather compare the X with the EPS/ASR, for comparitive purposes only. The mistake would be to think that the X is by intention supposed to do what the EPS/ASR can do plus more - but that isn't the case. So with that in mind... The display is small, but it's easy to use. Knobs are back, as type-value settings. It's neat to work with the knobs. The X has a bunch of ROM sounds, about 200. Most are percussive sounds. The intention of the X is Groove Station - which is a drum machine PLUS. The sounds are really nice - but most things are these days. Right now you cannot edit the ROM sounds at all. You can edit the sampled sounds you put into it. All the familiar EPS/ASR parameters are there - 1 LFO, 3 Envelopes, Pitch, Filter, Amp, Wave, etc. The filter has two additional modes - Resonant 2L/2L, and Resonant 2BP/2BP (Band pass) - so hallejuah - it now has rez filters. The X really relies on these with the majority of the sounds. All the looping (start, loop start, loop end, and the modulatable start and loop) are there - except there is no Loop and Release mode, and no Sample End parameter (interesting). There only a couple data editing functions - but no cross-fade looping, convert sample rate (although there is a bit-reduction function), etc. The X right now cannot read EPS/ASR disks - a free update is planned during mid-summer to allow this, and then it will only be ASR disks (DS/HD, not DS/DD). SCSI will be available probvably around the same time. OS is ROM-based and you must have the chips replaced - but you can do it yourself. FOR THE FIRST TIME, Ensoniq is allowing you to open the case. =) There are patch select buttons on the front panel, however, the layering functions that enable these patch selects are not available for the user YET. The ROM sounds use them, but it's all "in secret" - we hope that this will be fully editable soon. Our guess is this will be all impemented when the ASR reading is enabled. And that makes sense - since the ASR instruments will need someplace "to go". Of course, waht would be dissappointing is if the ASR reading is only "read-only"; meaning that you can never edit the parameters. Last thing - the pads feel REALLY GOOD. In fact, that's almost the best thing about the unit. No aftertouch, but still, the pads are a joy to play. I saw a list price of $1299 - good deal. I would hold off if you are a ASR owner that uses full instruments (pianos, organs, keyboards, etc.), and wait to see what the update does.

I do not work in a major studio, but I find it funny that most people (especially those who think 'this will be easy'), cannot make a decent loop to save their lives. They just don't think about tempo, and counting bars, and measures. It's just not as easy as some people make you believe.

I always had a prob with Alchemy freezing on the flash screen. After installation of the shareware Software FPU I can at least view the sample files and goof around. Is the no FPU a potential problem? I do have an internal modem that uses the PowerBook's phone connector hook up. The only way to get Alchemy to happen is to choose modem with Appletalk and it warns me that using Appletalk will make the data coming through the modem port unreliable. Needless to say, I haven't done any sample manipulating with it. What do you think/know?

The program will usually detect my ASR and recognize it as being there, but whenever I try and transfer a sample via MIDI, it either locks up (the computer, not the ASR) or just sits there and does nothing. I had it working at one time (although not very well)...does anyone have any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong? Could it just be the soundcard I am using to run midi (even though it works fine for every other midi program)? Could it be those dastardly sunspots? Any help would be appreciated. Thanx.

Recycling Breakbeats at Home with a Pencil, Paper & a Calculator This is a technique that I read about in Future Music magazine several years ago. Sorry, don't have the original reference or author. It's a way of chopping up your drum loop samples and syncing them to new tempos. I've used this a lot, and just love i t! The ASR-10 envelopes and parameters work great, and can completely transform the feel of a breakbeat. It's a bit time-consuming, but I guarantee if you try it, you'll use the results. Here's how - Sample your breakbeat, and truncate the beginning and end so you've got one tight bar (no dead space at the beginning, no hang over bass drum at the end). Make copies and assign them seperate notes up the keyboard - you'll need to make at least 16 copies, all at the same pitch. You can make virtual copies (just the parameters) to save memory, but if you do this, make sure your original loop is how you want it 'cause it'll be tough to change later. What's the smallest note value of your breakbeat, 8, 16, 24 (triplets)? This determines how many chunks you'll be chopping your beats into. Let's pretend you've got a 16th note breakbeat. You'll need your pen, paper & calculator for the following - Check the length of your breakbeat by looking at the Sample End.. Let's say it's 83040. Divide the sample length (83040) by 16. In this example, you get 5190. Grab a calculator and make up a table, starting with 0, anding 5190 each time. NOTE START END 1 0 5190 2 5191 10380 3 10381 15571 4 15572 And so on until you've got START & END values for all 16 notes. (For 8th or 16th note triplets, divide accordingly, by 8 or 24) Using your table, you can set the start and end parameters for each wavesample copy up the keyboard. Now play each note, and you'll have your original breakbeat in 16th note chunks under your fingertips. Sequence the seperate notes in order, play them b ack, and now you can speed up and slow down the original breakbeat, locked to the tempo. If the original breakbeat is loose, some of the notes won't be precisely on - they might bleed from snares into highhats and stuff. You can manually adjust these. If you play the breakbeat at a slower tempo than the original you'll get dead air and pops btween the seperate hits. Turn on the Bidirectional Loop for the whole Layer, and pump up the release on the Layer's envelope. Now you should be able to sloooow it right down, and often it'll sound way cooler than the original. Some other tricks to try: Once you've got a layer of a cut up breakbeat that you like, copy the Layer to the same intrument and assign different layers to patch buttons. Play with the Attack Times, the Decays, the Filter settings. Instant Dub! Hours of fun! To make shortened notes longer set Attack and Decay at Zero and Sustain to maximum. While the sequence plays adjust the release value. Set all values to zero and play with the decay for a choppy effect. Set the filter to half and play with the filter envelope. Try a fast decay for that fashionable muffled bonk. Most of my beats I program with lot of potential Real Time control, using Patch Select, Sustain Pedal. Try the same technique with speech, found sound & music, almost anything. You can build an Instrument to use as a Template to load these recycled beats into, with all the layers, envelopes and wave parameters ready to go. Saves a lot of time. If you have a basic spreadsheet accounts program on your computer, you can set up all the values above in a template, and just enter the resolution and the sample length. Have fun! If anything's unclear in the above, let me know.

Having had to set up loops on the ASR for years it was great to start working with this audio sequencer. I can import my loop from the ASR (or record straight from CD into the computer) analyse the tempo, set up a midi quantisation template based on the groove of the audio loop. I can time compress/expand by typing in a new tempo and I can choose to shift or not shift the formants in the sample. Hell...I can even requantise the audio loop. This formant thing is an awsome feature. To give you an Idea of what it does imagine a vocal phrase sung by a woman. By shifting the formants I can have the girl sound like a boy, or vice versa. In the realm of drum loops I can turn a tight snappy sounding breakbeat into a rock stadium sound all without altering the tempo or the nature of the pattern. Also with creating a midi quantisation template it becomes a simple task to beef up the sound of your loop with some sequenced percussion samples. Doing this kind of thing used to drive me insane before I had this software. The same goes for trying to get a bass line to lock in with the groove. It's real easy with this kind of technology. Sometimes I will even use a groove template from a sample loop and not even use the loop where the template was generated from. I do this last thing a lot. I don't have anything to do with Emagic but I thought I would throw in my $0.02 worth. ===/===/===/===/===/===/===/===/ Paul Najar JAMINAJAR Production . Composition . Arrangement .

For a while I couldn't reply, so now I'm combining several unrelated things into one post. - - Thanks for the replies to my question about setting the loop length; however, no one really answered it. Apparently, everybody gets along with re-triggering the loop every time. However, I'm still not satisfied. There must be a simple formula which relates sequencer tempo (Beats-Per-Minute) to duration of a quarter note (in seconds). If anyone could help me with that, I'd do the rest of the math :-) - - It was interesting to see the thread on Chuck D from Rage Against The Machine (who was said to deliberately make uneven loops, or something like that). I never actually heard the group, but the responses (which went like "He just uses lousy equipment") reminded me one of the "Oblique Strategies" by Brian Eno: "Honor thy errors as hidden intention" (or, as we programmists say, "Comment your bugs and sell them as features" :-). I think this sums up the argument pretty well, and anyway, I wanted to share this phrase with you. - - I finally downloaded the Rhodes samples and they are great. Thanks Yatzy! - - I also downloaded several (about 20) files from SoundCentral, but about half of them couldn't be opened by EPSDisk (with misterious "Error (-1)"). Is it possible that the archive contains corrupted files, and what can I do about this? - - Thanks to Dave Clarke for the great tip on cutting breakbeats; got to try it some time (when I'll have enough time...) But one point was unclear to me: >You can build an Instrument to use as a Template to load these >recycled beats into, with all the layers, envelopes and wave >parameters ready to go.

Sound likes you've got the "Classic" faulty connector between the two halves of the keyboard assembly circuit board. I had this on my EPS Classic many years ago, experiencing this same symptom as well as several others which you might also be experiencing (or may experience later on). With the help of my friend and another member of the EPS mailing list, we came up with a permanent fix solution, and thanks to Garth from Rubber Chicken Software, it is now on the web for everyone to see. Take a look at the following URL http://www.soundcentral.com/~chickeneps/rcs_tips.html Scroll down to item #13 entitled "EPS/ASR Keyboard Calibration Problems", and let me know if this solves your problem. BTW Garth, some of the links at the top of the "Tips" page do not jump to the correct section of the page. CU L8R... - -------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Todd A.

I think I'm gonna love it -- it sounds great (I dig a little grunge, if you know what I mean...) and I love the ease of use. I've figured out the basic usage without cracking the manual. Spent some time yesterday surfing the web and was happy to see there's plenty of EPS samples and support out there -- including this list. I found one faq (Richard's faq?) but couldn't find answers to the following questions, which probably ARE faqs...: 1) I have OS 2.4.0 and 2.0 ROM . I already know that these are not the final versions. Is there an archive with the final (2.4.9) OS anywhere? Is there anywhere to obtain an updated ROM? Should I even be worrying about this? 2) Are there any other faqs out there on the EPS classic? 3) Does Ensoniq offer any support at all for these machines or are they completely orphaned? Do they still carry any hardware or accessories? 4) My machine has the 2x expansion. Where can I get ahold of a 4x expansion and/or SCSI? 5) Any other words of wisdom for an EPS newbie? thanks in advance, Rich Lamphear ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

If anyone could help me with that, I'd do the rest of the >math :-) [...] Uhhmmm ... Boris? You answered the question already by yourself! The simple formula is the relation between tempo and time: 60 devided by BpM = the lenght of a quarter note For example: 60 / 120 = 0,500 (in words: 500 milli-seconds) or: 60 / 96 = 0,625 I use this as basic formula for tempo-synced delay effects all the time. The first three numbers behind the comma (... and of course the ones in front of it :-) tell you the length of the quarter. Now you could take it one step further and tell the number of samples in one bar by multiplicating length of quarter-note * number of beats * sampling frequency, for example: 0,500 * 4 * 44.100 = 88.100 or get the BpM of a groove-sample by doing the reverse calculation. If all this means too much number-crunching: Some time ago I got hold of a freeware-tool called "SampleCalc", written by G. Merker from Cologne, Germany, which does it all at the tip of your finger (... if you live on _this_ side of the Windows ;-). The nice people from "Transoniq Hacker" made it available on their FTP-site, I think. Their URL should be on my Homepage. Hope this helps.

Sound Loop Formulas
FORMULA DESCRIPTION
(Number of bars * 4 * 60 * sampling rate) / BPM = Samples  Calculates a loop's exact length in samples when you know the BPM and sampling rate. The "4" is the number of beats per bar, so in most cases you can shorten the 4 * 60 to 240. 
(Number of bars * 4 * 60)/BPM = Time (in seconds) for one bar  This is a variation on the above formula that yields time instead of samples. 
New BPM * 100 / Current BPM = Percent to change  Use the "Percent to change" value to convert a loop from one BPM to another. Cool Edit and Sound Forge are a couple of Windows tools that will do a percent change on a sample without changing the pitch. Drastic changes (more than 10%) will cause your loop to distort. 
30000/BPM = Delay time in msec for 16th note delays  Use this formula to calculate perfect 16th note delays based on the BPM. For example, 250 msec is the perfect delay for a 120 BPM song. 
 
 
Old BPM * 2^(steps change/12) = New BPM  The "^" means raised to the power of. Use this formula to calculate the tempo of a sampled loop when it is played at a lower or higher key on the keyboard.For example, if you originally sample a piece at 120 BPM in the key of F, and want to play the sample in the key of A, you would plug in the following numbers:

120 * 2^(4/12) [a positive four semi-tones from F to A]

Thanks to WMResearch for this formula.

Program changes are also recorded as sequencer data, so somewhere on your sequence or song track 1 is a program change that you don't want there. You can get rid of it by using the "filter event" command track parameter. Set "filter event" to "Erase" and select PC - program change" and erase the sucker, and maybe that'll do the trick. You could also check the beginning of the tracks using "event edit" set to PC - program change, and take a look to see if that's whats doing it. By the way, yeah, you were right about 200% being the right way to stretch a sound up an octave. I was just testing to see if you were all paying attention. Heh-heh-heh...

If the OS upgrade that supports the reading of EPS/ASR disks supports the full range of parameter editing that the ASR does, then I think we can call it a continuation, even thought the data editing functions might not be there. Ensoniq is still making the "old" ASR - it's still a valid and, more importantly, sellable instrument.

I've been trying to get a sequence of commands that would make this work with my Poly6 every time-- and still haven't. I have filtered all program changes out, then gone into event edit (specifically program change) and tried many various strategies: go to bar 1 beat 1, change the program # value to the appropriate pc # for the synth, and there seems to be this strange thing where you can Add or Delete a PC, OR if you hit NO/cancel, you get into the "audition" mode, etc. At any rate, I've tried several different things--there appear to be many different combinations of command sequences (when do you put in the PC #, why do I sometimes seem to ADD it, and sometimes not and go directly to audition?) AND furthermore, it seems that sometimes it will work and everytime I start that sequence the synth will switch to the correct program, and sometimes it won't at all and will continuously go to some program like #8 or something. I actually had figured out a definite sequence of commands for the 16+ that would do this fine--every time! But I still haven't figured it out for the ASR-10. anyone else?? * ~ __===*@@@ @@@@@ @@@@@ Yeeeeeeeeeee Haaawwwwwww! * | / ________________________________________ ___ __ _ ___|__|^|_ | *** Clark ov Saturn, |___ ___ * * /|/~~~~~~~| | *** Space Trucking Mogul |____ __ / | {_) | | *** http://164.92.26.37/ |__ ___ ____/__|) /~~| |@@@@| ************************************|____ * / _____ ~~~~~~~~~|@@@@| ***********************************|___ __ * | / \\ --| |_/~~~~~\_______________________/~~~~~\__|_____ __ |/ *** \\ |---~|/ *** \_____________________/ *** \_|___ _ __* ` ***** ~~~~===== ***** * ***** *** *** * * *** ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I go into Event Edit, select PC as the Filter Mode, find the program change I want to change, and then use the left/right buttons to move the cursor under the PC= value, and change the value using the slider. If you change anything, it'll always go into audition mode when you exit.

One of my main interest is in 'playing' the sampler from drum pads, guitar Midi controller ect...and the 'new' design seems aimed more at the 'hip-hop', or 'dance' producer. (nothing wrong with these types of music, I love them both myself) it just isn't what I need my sampler for. The things I like about the E-Mu are (in their new machine's) the possiblity to x-spand to 128 mgs of RAM (overkill to some, but not for me), the (up to) 1 gig internal drive (good for live situations), and the resonant filters, and of course the fact it comes in a 'rack' form. I also don't know if having a synth (MR) inside my sampler is neccassary. It may be a nice touch (havent heard it yet), but I need my sampler for sampling, I could get a synth for synth stuff. Again I have not seen or heard the ASR-X yet and I might change my mind when I do, but I still wish, or hope, it was available in a rack. P.S. I still use my Rubber Chicken 'Bass Pak' pretty much everyday ! Love those sounds.

One of the simplest examples of the benefits of sampling guitar parts is explained thus: imagine you want to record a lead guitar part, but, as ever, the playing is inconsistent. Sometimes it begins well, but you lose it halfway through. Then again, on that wild take there were some fantastic moments, but the mistakes and timing problems render it unusable. You get the picture. Supposing you record a number of takes into the sampler ­ the rigid, note-perfect version; the wild, improvised job, and so on. If you had enough channels on an analogue multitracker, you'd probably work out a composite take, made up of the best sections edited together, but your sampler will allow you to do this in the same way ­ or, even better ­ to run, for example, four separate takes set to different MIDI channels and triggered from your sequencer. You could then use MIDI volume controller information to cut between them. Obviously you'll need to insert the initial volume commands before the note trigger to ensure that the tracks you don't want to hear are set to 0, but from then on in you can switch between takes with ease. In this way you avoid all the fiddly editing and note shifting that a composite sample track would require, and retain all the original takes, in case you decide to change the configuration. Chorus and flanging effects are easy to achieve if you double up a sample and play both at once. Panning the two samples left and right and modulating pitch on one will give you a good repro of chorus, with more modulation taking you into flanging. Alternatively, you can pitch one of the samples up or down a tad and timestretch it to maintain the timing consistency between the two samples. Simultaneous triggering of a single sample throws up some interesting results, often creating an out-of-phase sound ­ run three or four triggers of the same sample concurrently, or build up the layers over a longer period for a gradually swelling sound.

The timing of the ASR-10 sequencer playing internal sounds is sloppy to say the least. If you use two kick drum sounds simultaneously you'll notice that the ASR behaves like a human drummer... It goes "bonk, bonk, b-bonk, bo-bonk.....". Actually it's quite nice in situations you want this effect, but I'd like control over the "humanize" factor.... I guess the ASR-X is considerally improved in this area, since it boast a far better sequencer resolution.

The OS update that should come out this summer sometime will be important. It will include the capability to read ASR floppy disks (they only mention ASR - perhaps EPS DS/DD's are included) and the SCSI option should accompany that as well. >Can i use X with 'old' ASR knowledge? I mean, the controlling has been >changed very? It's very easy to use. I also wanted to clarify some points I made in the post. Please remember that the ASR-X is a different machine - according to some people at Ensoniq, it is not a "replacement" for the ASR-10/88. But since it has the same name, and both sample, there's no reason not to compare the two either. I mentioned that you cannot edit the ROM sounds at all - however you can edit the sounds within a Track with the "override" parameters (transpose, output, etc.) You just don't have access to the full parameter sets. Ensoniq "allows" you to open the case with the MR as well, for OS upgrades. The list price is $1595.00. I meant I saw a street price of $1299. Also, in addition, there will be an option of 8 stereo outputs.

I would use the EVENT EDIT rather than FILTER EVENT, because that way you can leave one PC event and change it to what you would like. And also you will know what events are where (a feeling of confidence). You can INSERT EVENT on a Program Change, and add it yourself. I've always done myself and advocated only using the EVENT EDIT for customizing sequences. Extra tip - don't use the slider in EVENT EDIT - you have a chance of scrolling through lot's of data, and crashing the EPS/ASR as a result. >Also...when I try to enter ethier the EVENT EDIT TRACK or FILTER EVENT >command while in Song mode, it says I have no data on track 1 (the MIDI >instrument which is the Juno). Our recommendation is to use only Sequences for all information, and to avoid using Song tracks. Song tracks have many problems: 1) If there's bugs within the sequencer, they are there 2) It's just another place to put stuff and lose track of it 3) It plays the same instrument, so why not just use sequences? In my mind, the only redeeming factor in Song tracks is using automated Volume MIX changes. That's the only thing I use them for. To answer your question - you don't have any data in the Song track - it's in the sequence track. Scroll to the sequence, and you'll see it.

So EPS DS/DD's are not included in the X >equation. Ensoniq makes the statement on the site that "Compatible with all existing ASR-10 libraries in June". Some have asked me if this means EPS DS/DD disks too. I have gotten different answers to this question from different people at Ensoniq - we'll just have to see, perhaps. Also, the effects have 5 busses, an increase from 3 from the EPS/ASR, and from 4 from the WaveBoy Parallel effects. It also seems that the effects can have 4 programmable variations to them, instead of the 4 "pre=programmed" ones. Hooray! On the ASR-X info sheet, the SCSI is listed as SP-3, which is the ASR SCSI that is made now. That means $349.95 list price. Booo! I hope that isn't the case - I would have hoped that the SCSI interface would come down in price - SCSI interfaces in general sure have. Just to celebrate this, I am offering a simple but quality PC ISA SCSI interface for ***FREE*** to the first person who responds to this post (privately to me, please). By the way, keep a close watch on the web site an the other literature. I have noticed that little things change - the above is an example. The glossy info sheet says SP-3 after the SCSI interface mention, but on the ASR-X web site it simply says SCSI interface. So keeping a close watch gets you the latest... Someone asked if the ASR-X contains everything the ASR-10 is. The main differences as I see it are: Lack of full data processing (Add Data, etc., and the cross-fade looping) No DiskTracks(tm) or RAMTracks(tm) No AutoLoop Finding The present inability to to program multiple "layers" - the 10 has 8 layers of sound per instrument, the X has only 1 in the case of mono, 2 in the case of stereo (and those are linked together). There is real reason to anticipate great things out of this machine, whether it is supposed to be for "rappers" or not. it's real close. To the person who wanted a "rack version" - just put this on a rack shelf in your rack, and tie it down. There - it's rack mounted. =) Of course, I am interested in the Sys-Ex and some different other things too. Also I agree with the other "poster" - how much will be the accessories? The front panel of the X sez "Res Filters" - how do you spell the abbreviation of Resonant? It should be Rez - I think. Any opinion? There are a couple of other minor things.

I can bend a note down a full >octave, however bending up puts me 15 cents under a full octave. Has >anybody else experienced this problem with the EPS Classic? The MIDI pitch bend message has a range of 0 - 16383 where 0 represents the minimum pitch, 8192 represents the central pitch, and 16383 is the maximum pitch. Notice that the maximum pitch is not 16384 which would be perfectly symmetric with 8192. This along with one other factor results in the upward pitch being noticably less than one octave up. The other factor is that some instruments only use the uppermost 7, 8, or 9 bits of this count. If we assume that the EPS only uses the upper 7 bits, then a pitch bend range of +/- 1 octave would result in a pitch- bend resolution of 2*1200 cents/128 = 18.75 cents/unit. Minimum pitch would be -64 units * 18.75 cents/unit = -1200 cents or -1 octave; however, maximum pitch would be +63 units * 18.75 cents/unit = +1181.25 cents or 18.75 cents less than +1 octave! Newer keyboards would likely use more bits of the pitch bend range resulting in a less audible difference from +1 octave. At 9 bits the upward shifted pitch would be only 4.7 cents below +1 octave and at 14 bits, only 0.15 cents below +1 octave.

Of course, this is in the manual :-), but I know it can be tricky, because there are several interdependent levels of data. Stepwise (... more difficult to describe than to do ...) - 1. LOAD your Instruments; for controlling external devices, they may be only so-called "MIDI-Instruments" without any sample-data. Make virtual copies of Instruments, if you need them, by selecting one of the loaded Instruments, pressing & holding an unsued Instrument-slot, while you press Enter. 2. EDIT each instrument for appropriate key-range, octave, volume, MIDI-volume, MIDI-transmit-channel, and desired MIDI-program-change. 3. Resave your edits (a dedicated "Live"-directory on your disk is a good idea, at least for your Banks - see below). 4. Now select your Instruments _exactly_ as you would like to see them for this very part of the certain piece you are working on. Stack (even multiple) Instruments by double-klicking, or assign them zone by zone. For simple control about program-changes of an external device (which will be played on its own keys) make an MIDI-Instrument with the range of the lowest or highest C only and select it, too. 5. CMD*INSTRUMENT and some cursor-steps will bring you to the command "Create Preset" on your ASR. Press Enter for Preset 1, or select another number between 1 and 9 when asked by the display. 6. Repeat steps 4 & 5 as often as necessary. 7. Now SAVE your edited setup as BANK. Presets are _only_ stored along with Banks. You can edit them and resave your new versions, but you can't copy or delete Presets (just overwrite them), or save them alone. 8. Reload your bank. _Now the most important step_: Select any of the loaded Instruments. The "LOAD"-display in the window should stop blinking (that's the only reason: you change from Load- to Play-mode. You would rather select disk-files than Presets when the "Load"-LED is still blinking.) 9. Simply press any of the numbers 1 - 9 (according to your Presets created with 4. and 5.) The assignment of active, stacked (=blinking) or dectivated Instruments should be exactly the same as before reloading. 10. MIDI program-changes (and all other commands, like MIDI-control 7) are sent at the very moment you select any of the presets by means of the numeric buttons of your ASR. This works with and without a Bank-related Sequence or Song (better without) Possible mistakes: - - wrong MIDI-setup of EDIT*SYSTEM/MIDI - - you forgot to switch your Instruments from LOCAL to BOTH or MIDI - - you did assign the wrong channel ond/or program number (can be tricky with Roland's 8/8-system) - - you forgot to save your Presets (they are _not_ automatically updated). - - Pressing 0 (zero) resets all Instruments to default (.... uhmm ... I hope this is true). - - The big question mark: You _should_ be able to change program-number, key range, octave etc. for each Instrument in every Preset. I made the experience that this isn't always true, although I couldn't really find out when and how. (... or did I dream this ... 8-)? - - OR: the ASR handles presets totally different than the 16+ --- and everything I told you is simply completely wrong :-) Hope this helps!

Only MIDI Clocks, and it responds to Song Position Pointer. About every sync device sends MIDI Clock information along MIDI. Don't confuse audio sync striping formats with MIDI Time information. FSK, SMPTE, DTL, and I believe MTC are audible tape sync tones, for tape decks and sync devicest o work with. Classicly, MIDI keyboards use only MIDI Clock and Song Position Pointer, along with the defined MIDI Start, Stop, and Continue bytes to time (clocks), position (SPP), and transport a sequence. (Also there is MIDI Song Select, which will send a preffered song number to an external device). Normally, you should use the PPS-2 in this manner: 1) Run your ASR sequence, with the MIDI OUT of the ASR into the MIDI IN of the PPS-2. 2) The PPS-2 will spit out whatever time code you want out it's audio outputs to the tape (or whatever recording device).This will contain the time information that is being transmitted by the ASR via MIDI. 3) Switch in reverse to sync the ASR to the recording device 4) Set the ASR to CLOCK SOURCE=MIDI 5) Hook the output of the tape of the channel you recorded the sync tone on to the audio in of the PPS-2 6) Hook the MIDI OUT of the PPS-2 to the ASR MIDI IN 7) Start the tape (or whatever), and the ASR should chase to the tape and sync precisely. To those purists out there, the above is an awful simplification. But good luck!

When I built my hybrid VFX/VFXSD (SD motherboard mounted into a mod'd VFX case), I used a standard Sony 720k/800k drive. The only problem I've had with the rig, is that when I change floppies, I have to softboot the VFX to recognize the new disk. This is no big deal on a VFX, 'cause it takes less than 10 secs.and a VFX floppy hold tons of files and setups, but on an EPS, it would be a real pain. I figured that I just needed to fool around with the changeline jumpering and I never got back to it, but maybe this isn't the case...

There has been some > suggestions that standard Amiga floppy drives will work, however. Just to further confuse the issue for those technically inclined. The EPS/EPS16+ use the WD1772 floppy drive controller which is the same floppy controller that is in the Atari ST line of computers. As with the EPS, certain PC floppies would work fine, others would not recognize floppy disk changes. I currently have a PC HD floppy drive in my Atari ST and it works perfectly as a 720K drive. In the time that I was servicing Atari STs, it sometimes took trying a few brands to get one that would work. A thought for those of you who are very technically inclined: When Atari came out with their TT line of computers, they moved up to a HD floppy drive. They had to maintain compatibility with the old floppy controller so they designed a 1772 that could run at 16mhz. They ran the chip at 8 for DD and 16 for HD. On the TT the speed was switched by hardware/software. If I plugged this same chip into my ST, I would manually have to switch speeds. The interesting fact is: The same mod could be made on the EPS IF it's file system software was able to recognize HD formatted disks. One could then read data from HD disks. You certainly could not format HD disks on the EPS without an OS hack. Just some technical musings on the EPS. One final thought. Does anyone know enough about the EPS hardware/software to know if it relies on timing loops of the 8mhz 68K processor? I have a 25mhz 68K accelerator for my ST that would really make some of those sample modifing operations scream;-) ttfn. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tim Rosenquist | Bishop's U. | Due to cutbacks, no more original Technical Assistant | Lennoxville, PQ | quotes will be available.

Hello fellow ASR/EPS users: I haven't been on this list for a couple of years, so I am returning with several questions: #1. Adding SCSI on non-SCSI ASR-10s? Is there any third party that is working on this or are we still subject to Ensoniq's exclusive domain in this matter? If there is no third party alternative, I would appreciate it if someone could tell me the "complete" costs of adding SCSI (installation included)? #2. ASR-10 Broken disk drive? My ASR-10's disk drive has ceased to function. I can't load the O.S. to get this thing working...the disk light just keeps blinking and the ASR informs me that there is "no disk in the disk drive". I unscrewed this beast and replaced the dirve with a Sony HD disk drive that I purchased at the local Fry's electronics. Replaced all of the screws..started up and still have the same problem. Now, I am worried that this problem extends beyond the drive. Does Ensoniq use a proprietary drive mechanism or do I have a larger problem that I need to deal with? Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated...

I owned one for a month and I really got very depressed for buying it, at the end I was able to return it and buy (for less than that price) a 2 months used ASR-10 w/SCSI. Another problem is the support. There are no programs to read sounds to/from PC/MAC - EMU/ESI32, the true is nobody cares for it, not even EMU, I called them to ask for the price of some CD-roms for ESI and they didn't even know it!

There are no 3rd party kits as yet; hopefully there will be before the ASR is "gone". The costs are typically list price $349.95 plus install from the Auth. Service Center. I've heard of people making a deal for kit plus install for $300 even, but no lower. In the US, the policy is that the ASC does the install, and the kit is not sold outright. I have heard of a couple of exceptions to that rule, but in every case the user botched the isntall, so perhaps Ensoniq has a point. >#2.

Hi, It seems that the ASR-10 is a better machine although ASR-X has (will have with the upgrade) some advantages. It is my sense that the ASR-X was created not as an upgrade but rather to fill a space in the market (EMU and AKAI both have cheap samplers for DJs, etc). Musician's friend has the ASR-10 w/SCSI in $2399 u.s.... if you are willing to buy second-hand you could find it at around 1100-1700. If you really like your EPS16+, you'll enjoy the ASR-10 16mb memory, nice shape, LCD display, effects, audio tracks etc. The ASR-10 is only an upgrade of the EPS16+ which is a great pice of equipment. On the other hand, if you want the latest fancier technology, for $2399-4000 you could get the EMU-E4/x (the one expandable to 32Mb 128voices, with a lot of stuff), however EMU has very poor support and the upgrades are expensive.

With the ASR-X out now and details becomming clearer I would like to invite all for their feelings about where Ensoniq is going with their samplers. My feeling is that (and this is only a gut feeling. I have no evidence to support it) if Ensoniq is serious about staying in the sampler market, and in the light of the ASR-X and what it lacks/adds to the funconality of the ASR10 we will see another more pro orientated model before too long. If, as some people have suggested that the ASR-X is Ensoniq's response to market demand for a cheap DJ type of thing then where is their response to (in no particular order) the new Yamaha A3000 , or EMU's E6400. Lets compare spec's for a moment. Voices : ASRX-32, A3000 - 64, E6400 - 64. SCSI : ASRX - optional, A3000 - standard?, E6400 - standard. Resonant filters: All 3 have them but the E6400 has a big advantage with their morpheus type filters. If you have heard them you will know what I mean. Seperate outs: ASRX - Optional, A3000 - optional, E6400 - standard. Maxium Ram: ASRX - 34mb, A3000 - 64mb, E6400 - 128mb. Voice expansion: ASRX - No, A3000 - no, E6400 - yes (extra 64) Digital I/O: ASRX - no, A3000 - optional, E6400 - standard. Seamless SCSI communication with MAC or PC: ASRX - probably not, A3000 - Don't know, E6400 - Definately. On board Effects: ASRX - Yes, A3000 - Yes, E6400 - optional. Ensoniq has a great reputation for their on board FX, but Yamaha is no slouch when it comes to DSP. I don't know about the EMU FX board. All three have various non real time DSP functions. Lets compare prices. The ASRX price in Australia I believe is $2995. The A3000 is the same. The E6400 is $4995. For your $3000 dollars I reckon the A3000 is the best deal. It gives you twice the voices, - IMO a huge advantage, twice the memory expansion, - another big deal, and the bullet proof reliability Yamaha has a reputation for, and not to forget, the 5 real time knobs on the front panel(of interest to some). Originally the ASRX was said to be $4000 here but when the news of the A3000 broke they had to at least match the price. I included the E6400 in this comparision because it makes mince meat of the ASR10 for around the same money. The base ASR10 price is $3995, a thousand dollars cheaper than the E6400 but once you add the SCSI, seperate outs, and digital I/O that are standard on the E6400, the ASR ends up costing more, and you still only have 2mb of ram (E6400 has 4mb) and less than half the number of voices. So to come back to my original point , Ensoniq sampler products are really getting whipped out there in the marketplace. I have owned every sampler Ensoniq has ever made but I can't see myself owning an ASR-X, its a few steps foreward and a few steps back. The ASRX fares better than the ASR10 in their specific market segments but bear in mind this is a brand new product and for something this new to already have been beaten in it's market segment does not look good. Soooooo...... if Ensoniq is serious about staying in the sampler market (which they have done a good job of over the last 10 years) then they had better pull their R&D fingers out and come up with a new generation of seriously competitive products, not just the same technology recycled and repackaged. I hope they do, but I am not holding my breath. ===/===/===/===/===/===/===/===/ Paul Najar JAMINAJAR Production . Composition . Arrangement .

Like you, I have owned just about every Ensoniq sampler (Mirage, EPS and now ASR). I too can't see myself owning an ASRX. >For your $3000 dollars I reckon the A3000 is the best deal. I couldn't agree more - hopefully, the Yamaha A3000 will have a user-friendly interface (the OS on EPS and ASR has always been one of it's strong points). But even good OS won't count - technology has to offer "bang-for-buck" features - witness the computer world where WINTEL is dominant (with a dud OS but cheap hardware) and yet a platform like the AMIGA (with a killer OS but can't match the WINTEL cheap prices) struggles to survive. Anyhow, the next sampler I'm going to look at will be (and please don't flame me) the Yamaha A3000...... >Soooooo...... if Ensoniq is serious about staying in the sampler market >(which they have done a good job of over the last 10 years) then they had >better pull their R&D fingers out and come up with a new generation of >seriously competitive products, not just the same technology recycled and >repackaged.

Perhaps Ensoniq is afraid of going the the way of Sequential Circuits back in the late '80s when the expensive, pro-oriented Prophet dropped in sales when less pricy samplers came on the scene (e.g.--the Mirage). SC ended up folding because they catered to the tastes of serious musicians and didn't respond quick enough to more popular demands. I have a lot of respect for a company like SC that stuck to their guns, but I also think they were foolish not to diversify their product line sooner in order to stay alive. In the case of Ensoniq, I think they are smart in trying to meet popular demands, but have zero respect for their lack of response to the needs of their long-standing pro-oriented clientele. Who do they think BOUGHT all of those EPS/ASR's? My question is this: Why doesn't Ensoniq try to meet the needs of both groups at once, the two groups being the pro's and the so-called hip-hop artists? They could do this by breaking down the ASR into multiple components (sampler, sequencer, effects, keyboard interface, drum pad interface, memory expanders, etc.) People could then buy these in the form of racks or add-on components in order to build the sampler that they want. This might be costier for people who want it *all* since the cost of buying all of the components would be more than buying one complete package, but the cost for someone who just wants the sampler with some editing features would be less. This would appeal to people who are now using the computer for sequencing purposes, outboard effects, etc. I really think that Ensoniq could be more flexible in this way and, as a result, respond more effectively to the needs of their diverse clientele. One more thing: Does the ASR-X really appeal to the hip-hop crowd? The image of a hip underground dj-type does not come to mind when I read the write up about the unit on the Ensoniq website which sounds as though it was written by a "far out hep cat who really digs that groovy new sound, daddy-O." ;) Sean O'Donnell Paul Najar wrote: > > My feeling is that (and this is only a gut feeling.

I understand that the current Iomega Jaz incompatibility still hasn't been resolved. Any status? I know of someone who has a Glyph Improv (Jaz and CD-ROM in rack), and the Jaz went down. Apparantly Glyph is not counting on Iomega changing things, because they had told the customer that he would have to live with a Jaz replacement, and if it didn't work with the ASR, it didn't work with the ASR - he could still use it with a computer. (I suggested that he talk to Glyph about replacing it with a SyJet, but apparantly Glyph are exclusive Iomega dealers). Glyph appantly has some say with Iomega -that's why I mention it. And that's my current recommendation - try the Syquest SyJet if you want storage like that - it's only about $100 more. Note: The Glyph info is what I heard from my customer - it may not be representative of Glyph.

I It is possible...but Akai and Emu have shown that there is a consistant market for a more pro orientated prodduct. I would find it hard to believe that these companies lower end products have been subsidising their pro gear for so many years. >have a lot of respect for a company like SC that stuck to their guns, >but I also think they were foolish not to diversify their product line >sooner in order to stay alive.

Ensoniq were the first company to start this trend with their optional outputs/SCSI/digital I/o, kind of thing. Emu have taken this idea and improved on it. You can buy an E6400 (their cheapest sampler - but still no slouch) and , as your money allows, option it all the way up to their top of the line model. (E4X turbo). So your investment is maintained. >One more thing: Does the ASR-X really appeal to the hip-hop crowd?

Hey folks, A sampled-sound floppy disk that I use extensively with my TS-10 has corrupted, and I'm afraid I don't have a backup. I originally downloaded it from the old Oak site, but I can't find it on the new SoundCentral site (or anywhere else). I'm hoping someone out there in Net-ville has a copy and might be willing to help me here. The disk was part of one of Ensoniq's demos for the TS-10. It was the sampled sound disk for the "Techno" demo. The file, as downloaded, was a 1,304,212 byte file called "TECH-ASR.ZIP". It unzipped into a file called "TECH-ASR.EDA", which in turn converted to the ASR disk called "TECH-001". It was labeled Ensoniq Part# 8506001502. I've emailed Ensoniq, asking about it, but haven't heard from them. I'd sure appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction, or even email me a copy (if the disk is still in the public domain). Thanks in advance!

I've only been a subscriber to this group for about a week and have enjoyed the posts.. My problem is one shared by others...I think. I've moved to a smaller place and my home studio needs more 'condensing'. I have an Ensoniq SQ80 that I love and a Roland S-330 Sampler. The time has come to choose between Synth and Sampler...I prefer to create sounds/patches from scratch and find that it takes about the same amount of time to create a satisfactory sound ....using either sampler or synth. I guess I'd have to say that sample editing is more enjoyable to me so, a sampler will likely be my choice....Fine....Now, I've grown acustomed to working with the Roland sampler with its full screen display (as humble as it is). But it is limited by todays standards. Based on my experiences with the SQ80, I would really like an Ensoniq sampler but know very little about them...I've searched and searched the web looking for a review or a FAQ dedicated to the EPS16+ but have found none. Can anyone point me in the right direction?? I would be interested to hear the opinions of Ensoniq sampler users as to the ease of editting with a non-graphical interface. Is the OS edit-friendly for an ex-Roland user? I love the philosophy behind the SQ80 interface, though I don't know if there's any comparison to be drawn there. Last question: Are there any on-board effects in the 16+? As a side note...A used ASR10 would be out of my reach at present. I apologize for making my first post a wordy one and hope that I'm not rehashing issues that have previously been discussed to death. Thanks for taking the time to read this....

This application note provides the information required to allow AWE32/64 owners to utilize this advanced feature of their cards. The AWE32/64 is fitted with what is known as a SP-DIF (Sony/Philips Digital InterFace) output, this provides a digital audio datastream that can be fed directly to digital audio devices such as DAT (Digital Audio Tape) or DCC (Digital Compact Cassette) recorders, or even into a digital signal ready amplifier. The sound quality provided by this output is of the highest level and is limited only by the device connected to it. SP-DIF is an internationally recognized standard for digital audio input and output and is supported on a wide range of equipment from a number of different manufacturers. The minor drawback is that it is only the output from the E-mu8000 synthesizer chip that is connected to this output. This means you will only get MIDI out from this connector, no wave or CDaudio. In reality though you actually get a very high quality sample playback system, which is easily on a par with many semi-professional quality musical instruments. The SP-DIF pins are located on the component side near to the top edge of the AWE32/64, and are approximately 3cm to the right from the light colored SIMM memory sockets, next to a crystal. There are 2 pins labeled 0 and 1, 0 is the signal and 1 is the ground. The easiest (and safest) way to connect a digital device to the card is to mount an RCA (phono) socket on a blank back plane plate and make a cable with a 0.1" header connector to connect the RCA socket to the AWE32/64's SP-DIF pins. This means you can use a standard RCA to RCA cable to connect from the back of your PC to your digital device. Doing this enables you to disconnect your DAT or DCC without having to open up your PC as well as preventing the cable from accidentally becoming detached from the AWE32/64. Please note - when you are using the SP-DIF as your output the AWE32/64 analogue outputs and mixer will continue to operate as normal, however changing either the MIDI or the master volume levels with the mixer will not have any effect on the level of the digital output. With a reasonable quality amplifier and speakers you will hear an enhanced sharpness and clarity of the music, together with an almost total lack of noise and hiss. The dynamic range of the system will also increase significantly. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Paul Najar said: >With the ASR-X out now and details becomming clearer I would like to >invite all for their feelings about where Ensoniq is going with their >samplers. Thanks to Paul for that interesting comparison. I primarily use my sampler as an outboard MIDI module (I own an EPS 16+ module). I don't use internal effects much at all. Reliable SCSI communication and wide third party support are priorities for me. Also being able to expand memory and modern operating systems and a history of good support are important. To tell you the truth, unless something dramatic happens in terms of a new product from Ensoniq. My next sampler is going to be an Akai or Emu. If I could just figure out a good way to port over my existing sample library (Alchemy doesn't work via SCSI for me) I'd sell my EPS 16+ tomorrow. I apologize to the list for saying that, because I know Ensoniq had a breakthrough product at one time, but it seems that their samplers are no longer competitive.

The best way to move samples back and forth is to also use EPSm again. Save the data to a floppyy in the ASR and read the same floppy in the mac disc drive using EPSm. You can then export the sampless from a ASR instrument onto the mac HD in AIFF or SD1/2 format.This has been the best compromise for me, particularly since the Mac SCSI bus is used for hard disc recording using logic audio. I don't want anything in the SCSI chain that could cause problems with this(ASR). >Can I edit or at least use my Mac as librarian for my ASR? Yes , easily. Use EPSm.

I own the EPS, EPS16+ S1000, S2000, and here's what I have to say bout Ensoniq: Ensoniq samplers are very user friendly. Editing loop points, adjusting start, end points, and parameters are really quick and simple. I am able to start using my brand new samples in my sequences within minutes or even seconds after sampling. Basically when I have no time to waste, I use the Ensoniq samplers, even though they may not be as powerful as the AKAIs or the others. Samplers with graphical interface provide for more detailed visual editing, which may mean that it may slow you down, due to more pressing of buttons, more sample assigning tasks, and more like trimming samples with your eyes and not your ears. But this may all be besides the big point. So it really depends on you. How fast you work, and how you learn to work with what you buy. Good luck. >> >> Last question: Are there any on-board effects in the 16+? >> >> Jim V Yes there are on-board effects on the 16+.

If any of you out there burning 100% glitch free cd's can tell me what CDR drives you're using, what software, and what brand and model HD you're reading from, it'd be greatly appreciated. thanks for your time - -CICERO ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I sampled the shit out of everything I could get my hands on and manupulated them, and that was how I learned. I did it on an EPS then, specs were way worst then the A3000, but it was cool enough. But that should be the reason why one would want a sampler in the first place. Let's face it, many beginners SHOULD want to sample. Just my 2 cents.

I can't believe the yamaha team has made such a huge blunder with their user interface in this otherwise "totally stacked" sampler after doing exactly the same thing in their last serious sampler effort. The technology alone, that they are offering at the price had all they needed to turn the whole sampler market on it's ear . And yet ...by all acounts, they stuffed it up.

I´ve had a little problem for a while now, and it seems my last shot to solve it is a helping hand from some clever person out there. I own an Eps 16+, and I´ve tried for a long time to convert and save samples from my Pc to the Eps. But since my BIOS won´t allow me to save in Eps format (and I don´t dare changing BIOS) I have to figure out another way.....

I am also interested in triggering samples via MIDI on a PC- I've seen a few cheesy programs, but so far Mellosoftron seems to be the leader. (I've heard many PC sequencers have the ability to trigger .WAV files, but I don't know if each .WAV has its own midi ch. # ).

My personal favorite is Cubase. Steinberg (the company that makes Cubase) is also preparing to come out on August 11th with CubaseVST. It integrates it's outstanding midi sequencing program with a 32-track hard disk recording system...all within the same program. It will also be TDM-compatible and will be able to use many, many 3rd-party filters for things like real-time effects, reverb, delay, etc... Oh, and with Cubase you can assign each individual .wav file to a separate midi track and assign it its own midi channel. I'm not sure about others on this matter.

Currently, the Jaz drives made now have firmware that make it non-compitble with the Ensoniqs (thanks Iomega!).

However, bang for buck, the machine is a monster according to my sources. RAM expandable to 128 MB, SCSI standard, 4 outputs standard, (cheap output board that gives you additional 3 x stereo pair plus digital in/out etc.). 3 separate fx units, separate eq, 64 voice polyphony. No doubt if the sampler is a success, then somone will make a computer program available to interface with the thing so that it's a bit more user friendly.

A Zip drive should behave in the same fashion. Most of it has to do with the order in which you power up all of the devices. The order that works for me is 1) Removable drive (Bernoulli or Zip), 2) EPS 16+ (allow to load OS), 3) Mac. Reversing this order simply freezes up my Mac, so obviously if my EPS locks up or crashes and I have to switch it off, my Mac will inevitably be forced to follow (after being able to save all my work and shutdown). The other key is to not have the Bernoulli (or Zip) driver extension in your extensions folder. This keeps the Mac from trying to automatically mount any disk that is in the drive and trying to initialize an EPS formatted disk. If you want to share the drive for use with both the Mac and the EPS, use a mounting utility (I use SCSIProbe) to manually mount a disk formatted for the Mac. And lastly, remember that the EPS 16+ has a fixed SCSI ID#3 which is also the Macintosh default for CD-ROM drives. Most of the newer Macs have and SCSI bus and an external SCSI bus that are discrete so you shouldn't have a problem but the older ones, including some older Power Macs, only have one bus, so you'll have to change the ID# on your CD-ROM drive.

There should be a screen thats says back up. This will allow you to make a back/restore of your disk. What it does is copy the whole disk to internal memory, then, You make a formatted copy of that memeory. Sometimes it will restore the disk to great shape, but if the disk is too damaged, it won't work. If all else fails, You can try opening the disk, by pulling the silver thingey to the side, blow into the floppy disk, and try reloading it. I KNOW THIS MIGHT SOUND CRAZY>>>>>> but it has worked for me. If you don't feal comfortable doing this, then don't do it. I'm not gonna make any type of guarentee on this one!!!!!!! If you get any of these disks to load, be sure to have some fresh disks to save the sounds onto because they might not load again and you want to save them onto new disks.

Hi Ensoniq experts, owners and fans. I would like to make two questions to the list, I hope someone can help me. 1.- I have been playing with the audio tracks for a song I am making (I am adding some guitar sounds from a Korg Keyboard), the problem is, when I play the "Song" with the loop = "on" and then I try to stop the ASR will display "locating..." and stay like that forever... until I reboot it, is this normal? how can I avoid this problem? I can't even audition 2 "sequences" with audio tracks without crashing the ASR... is there a trick or something I am not aware of? The only way I have been able to use this feature is changing the loop to OFF and runing the complete song without interruption but this is a pain... The other question I guess is a simple one (forgive if it's a stupid one)... it is possilbe to combine effects? (like to use distortion for a guitar sound and Hall reverb for the piano and other tracks?) or if you choose an effect it will run on all your "instruments". (I know you can control at what level you want the effect on each track, using the BUS1/2/3... that's not my question). Thanks for your help! Simon Barquera. p.s. Another quesiton I just remembered: I have a SCSI HP CD-writer... it works fine as an external CD-rom with my computer... how can I know of it will work with my ASR-10? I would like to buy a CD-rom with samples however.. I don't want to buy one only to realize that I need to buy then a new external CD-drive. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

This is usualy done this way: You can use BUS1 for the distortion effect. Use BUS2 for a the reverb. All the other instruments that you want to keep unaffected should be addressed to BUS3 as usually this is used as the dry bus.

It's good you can get your things done by followiong the 1,2,3 order given above. However, I don't experience disaster by not following that, and I think you don't have to either. From what I have read from this email list, and then experienced myself ; the key to sucess with boot order reversals are the following. If you turn on the ASR/EPS with the Mac already running, you should have an Ensoniq formatted cart/(or zip floppy) in the drive when you boot up, otherwise the Mac will crash/freeze. That's the way it works for me too. Maybe not for you? This means I don't have to shut down the Mac because of an ASR/EPS crash, I just make sure I put in an Ensoniq cart when powering up the EPS/ASR. Running the program EPSm while inserting the cart, will let me do that without the Mac complaining.

Unless you have SCSI drive, it is impossible to get a new net downloaded OS into your EPS by using a Mac. They say the last OS is version 2.49 for the classic. It is old,so you may have it?

Subject: EPS: ASR - Audio Tracks. Hello. I have noticed that some of you have had problems with the Audio track feature on the ASR.So have I.Its quite painful to look at the "locating" screen for minutes when Im stopping the song to do some minor adjustments. My solution to the problem was to go to the "configure audiotracks" function at the command-system page. when "configure.." comes up press YES, then select "audiotrack=OFF". This will hopefully save you hours of "location" and a few "reboots" as well. I have found that the best thing to do is to turn Audiotracks OFF before any song is loaded.The ASR seems buggy when it comes to this(what a bomb :-) ) BTW does anybody know if its possible to have Audiotracks off as default? tech care Rune Broendbo STERNKLANGfreestylespacefunk CD Out NOW (Beatservice/VoW) connect with sternklang: http://www.dataconsult.no/beatservice/stern.htm ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I don't believe there is a list solely for the EPS. Also you may want to pay attention to some of the posts on the ASR because the way the sampler and sequencer works on both machines is virtually identical (except the EPS does not have audio tracks....who uses those anyway? heheh). You can think of the ASR as the Grandchild of the EPS.

It's at 1mb already You gotta find a store or a third party selling a new or used 4x memory expander. As I recall, the EPS still only has 2mb of memory at the max. > Also, is it possible to > re-format ASR disks to work on the EPS without loosing what's on the > disk? ASR uses high density (DSHD) disks. EPS uses double density (DSDD) disks. High density drives can read double density disks; but double density drives can *not* read high density disks. So you need to A) Get as many double density disks as you need to hold the ASR sounds - keep in mind that you will most likely need more than one EPS disk for each ASR disk, since the double density disks don't hold as much. B) Make sure the double density disks are formatted for the EPS - you're best off doing this on the EPS itself, or better yet, on a computer with one of the software utilities. C) Load each sound from an ASR disk into the ASR, and re-save it (still using the ASR) onto an EPS disk. If your sounds are large, some of them may end up being multi-disk instruments. Yes, you have to do this with each instrument individually. Again, you can do this on a computer with a software utility, but if you're not familiar with the EPS utilities, you're better off doing it on the ASR itself. The sounds will be perfectly readable to the EPS, and will sound quite good, but will have no effects. Stereo samples should come through properly (using two layers), but will no longer be linked. The EPS will *not* read ASR sequences properly - occasionally I've actually seen the EPS read the sequence, but more often than not it ends up garbled. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Also, is it possible to >re-format ASR disks to work on the EPS without loosing what's on the >disk? Check with Ensoniq about the memory expanders. I think most third party vendors have gone by the wayside as far the EPS goes. Advertise for a used one in the Transoniq Hacker. Be aware that the 4X gives you 2 megabytes. The amount of sampling time depends on the sample rate you choose (anywhere from 20 seconds to around 3 minutes with a 4x). If you reformat a disk (any disk, any computer, any keyboard) you lose the data. If you insert an EPS formatted diskette into an ASR and save an instrument to this disk it SHOULD be readable by the EPS. The ASR can also read EPS disks. The EPS cannot read ASR disks, however.

Hi Ensoniq users: This message is to thank you for all the replies I had to my request for some recommendations for cheap and nice analog synths. I ended up finding three keyboards pre-1986 in excellent condition: a nice Sequential Circuits Prophet-600 ($400), a Roland Juno-6 ($180) and a Yamaha IID ($400 w/case, manuals and catridge. ok this is not analog...). As some pointed out, the MS-20 is rare and expensive. The mini-moog is hard to find and expensive (some people is asking as much as 1,300 for it... almost the same that costs to buy a new one directly from the factory!!!). I am exploring them now but as soon as I produce some interesting samples I promise I'll post them in my web page.

This parameter is unfortunatly not saved with the > 'SAVE > GLOBAL PARAMETER'-command. Bommer.... You could use an OS version that came out before audiotracks where added to the OS. OS version 1.61 is one such and can be found on the net. Is it a bad idea to use 1.61 for everyday sequencing and then use 3.53 if you need audio tracks or loading Roland CD ROMS? This suggestion could be bad for example if there are many bugs in 1.61 that are fixed in later versions. Ensoniq never told which bugs they fixed, so I don't know. Those I found in 1.61 are still in in 3.53. Does anyone know? Also-Are there other versions with bugfixes before version 2.0? (2.0 had audiotracks) If so, upload it to the net.

I make trance/goa trance and use my EPSm a lot for drums which is great since it has 8 solo outs. But I'm having trouble with occasional clicks on samples, especially on powerful bassdrums like TR909 samples etc. This has nothing to do with the sample itself, it is sparkling clean, but when for instance the bassdrum is triggered on every beat for a couple of bars it clicks (pretty loud) once in a while. Does anyone know of a (good) way around this problem? Lars W.

I have two questions regarding Audio-tracks, maybe some of you can help me. I recently made I track with a guitar. However the volume of the audio-track is too low, how can I increase the level of the audio track? In the regular tracks you just change from replace to add in the sequence options, increase the volume of the instrument and record again the sequence without touching anything else... is there a similar solution for audio-tracks? The other question is related to audiotracks too: it is possible to mute the audio tracks in the same way that you can mute an instrument from playing in a part of a song (with the edit song steps feature)? Any help, as always, is very very appreciated!

You should check how much will cost the cable to convert from the joystik outlet in the PCMCIA to midi... the standard cable is around 20 dlls, however in my case the cable was not a standard one, it was difficult to get and twice the price. However, it is enough if you want to work with as much as 32 channels or tracks (not more than that) and probably is still cheaper than a cheesy fm pcmcia soundcard!

Thanks to everyone who replied Re Sound Lib. Still no answers about use with a laptop. I talked to a computer salesman who told me that by buying a PCMCIA joystick card I can transmit and receive MIDI messages. IS THIS RIGHT?? It would certainly be much cheaper than buying a PCMCIA sound card. Would SoundLib look for a joystick card which uses port 220. Anyones expertise in this field would be appresciated or maybe just a point in the right direction to someone who may know the answer.

The software that I've seen is called MIDIScan, for IBM compatable computers. For more info go to www.musitek.com. You scan a page of music (into TIFF or another standard format), load the scan into the MIDIScan software, and tell the computer to convert. You get back a MIDI file which will then play on all sorts of soundcards, keyboards, etc. The software doesn't know anything about instrumentation, nor does it understand most of the text and non-staff graphics of music notation, but it does seem to understand notes, barlines, clefs, and staffs (ie. does a good job on converting a Bach fugue for 2 manuals + pedals organ, but not such a good job on the orchestra score for Stravinky's "Firebird"). Musitek is active in working to get acceptance of the NIFF standard for representing sheet music in computers.

I spent most of the recent evening timestretching a sample for different pitches (while doing something else in the hours inbetween ;-) ) The ASR does the job nicely when its streching the sample, but if i want to compress the size(meaning every "strech" under 100) it messes it up. Instead of making a "faster" sample it simply cuts of the last bit of the sample. I assume that it cuts of the % i wanted it to compress. - --- Whats the deal here?? The strange thing is that if i choose quality=zero it works like it should, but when quality is set=99 it simply truncates the sample..... Hello, anybody from ensoniq listening?? Maybe you could fix this bug(and the others), before you leave the ASR forever?? And if anyone know a way around this id be happy for any response. Thanks.

If there is anyone, who tryed to connect ASR and PC in one SCSI chain - s= o that they can share SCSI devices? I shared CD-ROM and MO-drive between PC and ASR for more than two years, but now I changed my old Adaptec 2940 (with old BIOS) to new Adaptec 2940= U (BIOS ver 1.50) and... Now I can't connect ASR to PC's SCSI chain - Adaptec freezes, when ASR tryes to initialize SCSI devices. After that Windows hangs and ASR reports - SCSI device not responding. Anyone experienced that? I tryed another SCSI adapter - Tecram DC390U - the problem persists. It seems, that ASR is incompatible with newest PC PCI SCSI adapters? Please, I urgently need help - do you know some Ultra SCSI PCI adapter, that works with ASR? Maybe you know what to do to disable SCSI adapters incompatibility? If someone use 2940U together with ASR - PLEASE, tell me the BIOS version! By now I found only one PCI UltraSCSI adapter that works with ASR - NCR-870.

Keeler" Subject: EPS: ASR CD's and ASR memory Hey Gang, It's been awhile since I've contributed here but now I'm back and ready to start making those demos I promised a few people. BTW, I spent yesterday afternoon looking at a few music stores to see what the latest and greatest gear is out there and to my surprise, I still think my ASR is one of the best (if not the best) all-in-one workstations on the market (minus the ROM samples I wouldn't mind). Have you seen the cost for those Trinity add-on's? Sheesh! Anyhow, I was just going to ask if anyone has any good CD-ROM recommendations. I only have CDR-4 which I still think is one of the best purchases ever made. Most of the Ensoniq CD-ROM's are listing for around $199US (probably cheaper through places like Caruso) and I'm not really in the mood for spending that kind of cash right now (which translates to around $300CAD by the time I get it here). CDR-4 was great as it only cost me $75US! How are the In-Vision libraries? Finally, I've decided to take my ASR from 10 to 16MB. Unfortunately, I've been skipping over the memory postings over the last few months. What is the going rate for 30-pin 4MB simms? I'll probably call the Chip Merchant on Monday to see what their rate is. Any other recommendations? Thanks, Jason - -- Jason M.

I am using Waveboy's resonant filter effect disk. When I load the resonant filter it loads to BUS1 and BUS2 contains a reverb & delay. When using the output expander, BUS2 feeds into BUS1 - exactly what I don't want. When NOT using the output expander BUS1 and BUS2 are separate - even tho they are coming out the same physical output - the main outputs. If anyone is using the same configuration and has found a way of isolating BUS1 and 2 when using the expander would they let me know. Or if anyone knows if Waveboy has an email address that would be good too.

Yeah, For some reason, the eps/asr's allow you two set the loopstart and loopend points to the same address. Most other samplers only let you get very close. It seems when they're set to the same point in the sample, the ASR totally loses track of it's memory management and randomly grabs stuff out of RAM. You can avoid this by bumping your looppoint modulator ranges up a little so that the two points never meet. Still, very cool effect. - -michael eringis eringis@blueskystudios.com ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

In any event, I don't think it's bad for the ASR, I think it's just some sort of logic loop the ASR gets in when you make the loop start and end points too close to each other.

Anyone, anywhere? Programmer's hypothesis: The EPS/ASR goes through all data in the loop and jumps back to the beginning when it reaches the "loop end" adress. If start & end are the same, the check for loop end is never true (the counter is probably incremented before the check), and the EPS/ASR plays the whole memory contents after that adress at the same pitch rate. The exact outcome obviously depends on how the memory is "shuffled". If you've ever wondered what binary data sounds like .... john ps.: Apparently, you could also trigger an entire dump of the VFX-SD's ROM that way - the result is on a sampling CD of mine. - -- - -------------------------------------------------------------- John Bodenstein "Irre Begrenzen!"

Nowadays with SCSI-2 you see a lot more mini-50 - they look like the DB-25 only they have 50 pins instead of 25. Is that what you are referring to? If so, there are cables, but they are harder to find. Hopefully a major computer store in Sweden will have them. Hopefully, the drive is compatible with your 16-Plus.

BTW, some history - when the D-50 was being developed, one of the engineers accidently programmed the prototype to play through the whole wavechain with one key. Back then (I don't know if this is so much the case now) the ROM waveforms were encoded as one long waveform, with the software setting the separation points. So this "mistake" was shown in front of the product team, and they said YES and left that capability in there. Thus the advent of "jam loops".

First of all thanks for all the helpful info I've recieved on my questions lately! I made my SCSI setup really dirt cheap tonight, and I feel like I have to share my happines and ideas to this list. First of all I recently bought my 2:nd EPS 16+, but this time with a SCSI interface and I knew I could get a Conner 527Mb SCSI drive for free. The only problem was the setup. I didn't wan't to buy an expensive external SCSI drive cabinet (120$ in Sweden) So I stumbled over an old SCSI interface at work (used as a controller for an old CD-Rom drive) My first idea was to connect the drive and the card to my PC and then connect the EPS to the external 25 Pin SCSI connector on the card. Well, Windoze95 couldn't find the card and my EPS couldn't find the drive (I'm a total newbie in the SCSI world!), damn.... Then I came up with this nutty idea... The card seemed to route the signals between the external 25 pin connector and the flat cable connector for the drive. Could I just use the card as an interface between the different connectors? without having to feed the card from a computer? Well, I tried... and it worked!! Yes.. then I took the drive and the card and mounted it inside an old external 5 1/4" floppy drive cabinet with external power. Everything works excellent and it looks really neat too. The hardware used: Conner 524Mb SCSI HD (with termination) Trantor T130B ISA SCSI Interface (used to control an 2X NEC CD-Rom drive) Victor 5 1/4" external disk drive cabinet with external power supply. 4 ft. 25-25 Pin cable (between the SCSI interface and the EPS 16+) Has to do some serious file transfering from my floppies now... god I love the speed of booting the OS now! :-) Best regards Kent Hedman, Sweden (god my english grammar is rusty) ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Hi guys, I want to change my existing configuration: - - ASR-10 keyboard - - ext. SCSI HD - - ext. CD-ROM drive - - Mac (LC III) with EPSm and some sequencer software I want to change the Mac with a PC - I still prefer the Mac but the PC is much cheaper :( Until now I concentrated on the Mac side here and ignored all the letters about PCs. So I have some questions. 1. I need a software on PC for managing the HD, similar than EPSm. I think it is Rubber Chicken's application. Do you have any experience? Which OS will I need on PC, Windows 95? 2. Can I use the PC's built-in HD for the ASR (storing instruments, sequences etc.)? Can I boot the ASR from this HD? Can I occupy a part of the built-in HD (with partitioning maybe) or do I need a second built-in HD for this? 3. Can I use the PC's built-in CD-ROM drive for the ASR? 4. Or if I want to write CDs, can I use the PC's built-in CD-WRITER for the ASR as a usual CD-ROM drive? 5. I want to use professional softwares for sequencing, mixing and managing audio files on PC, like Cubase, SoundForge etc. Do you have any suggestions? Can you recommend a detailed PC-configuration for this kind of job ('home studio')? Motherboard, processor, amount of RAM, HD size, in-outs, costs etc? Any other important info? Please write to any of the following addresses: eps@oak.oakland.edu janca@jura.hu ajanca@westel900.net Thank you very much in advance.

I have some strange problems with my EPS 16+, sometimes it locks up and creates strange characters on the LCD display. I believe it shows up when I hit keys around middle C pretty hard. I've read some earlier digests and seen a similar problem, the guy was then told to check the connector under the keyboard. Now my question is, how do I remove the keys properly to be able to fix the problem? I'm an educated electrician so I believe I can handle it myself, altough I don't wan't to break something. Is there anyone else out there who had this problem and fixed it? There's no heat problem =B4cause it shows up almost right away when = I turn the EPS on sometimes.

I've picked up lots of great hints from the folks here, but there's one thing I'd like to be able to do that I haven't worked out yet (I've a sneaky feeling there's no easy way to do this). Say I've recorded a piano part on a sequencer. It's a multisampled instrument, and the recorded part is in the range C1-C3. I want to move it out of the way to the C-2 to C0 range on the keyboard. Now, I can do this by taking every single wavesample in the range and transposing it down three octaves, but this takes a long time, and is easy to make a mistake doing. Is there an easier way? I tried transposing the whole layer, but no go. The transpose page on the instrument commands tells the keyboard that the ranges are different, but the key numbers stay the same. If there's no answer to this, which may be the case, how do you deal with cramming a couple of multisampled instruments into one instrument? Or do you bother?

Or do >you bother? yes, i believe the only way to do this is by changing the key ranges for each individual wavesample. i'm assuming you're doing this in an attempt to have keys to play in real-time, along with the sequencer? i don't know if you're using a mac, but i used to use this program called ASR_SCSI on the mac to do this. it allows you to transfer, via scsi (and midi too, as i recall?) ASR instruments. it would distribute the wavesamples across the keyboard, and you could re-arrange them on the screen. it's been a while since i've used it though, so i may be distorting my memory in a vain attempt to make me seem a bigger geek than i am. if i have a sequence with note values that don't match up to an instrument (say i remade the drum kit or am using a drum kit with different wavesample-key relationships), i use the key mapping function in studio vision pro. it allows you to map note values in the sequence for a particular note value on the MIDI instrument those notes are being sent to. it also lets you name the note values on a per-instrument basis (for example, "snare drum" makes a hell of a lot more sense than "D4". - -narayan narayan@thoughtport.com ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Right, you have to change the key range of every single sample, then you also have to transpose every sample. The transpose can be done in one single operation by letting the scope of operation be the complete layer. While the key range need to be set for each wave sample. You may have some fun/hassle/surprises/frustrations if your samples are stereo samples. You need to turn the stereo linking off before you alter the keyboard ranges. ( I would leave it off until I was finished with the instrument, cause I would feel safer that way. I don't remember if transposing will take care of both L and R, if I leave it off I know it will be done right ) It can be beneficial to get an overview of how the instrument is built up before you do this. I use computer software for getting that overview, but you may also get it from the ASR display. Then a piece of paper and a pencil could be beneficial. The piano could have more than one sample sounding simoultanously. It could have an unpitched layer ( perhaps called 'thump' ) giving the mechanical noise when you strike and releas keys on a piano. These need to be moved out of the way to, but not transposed. Similar considerations apply to other instruments. I think that when you get the hang of it, it takes less time to do this editing than writing your letter, but it feels like a pain. If you do this exercise on all your arrangments and they all have different instrumentations and you make 5 arrangements a night, you will get the hang of it, but also wish there was another way. However if your arrangments often apply certain instruments and combinations and their pitch range is usually limited. ( rock organ, rock bass, horn section, disco violins, sound effects, ) then it could be worthwile putting some in the same instrument fo reuse. There are many other artistic, practical, technical and economic considerations. Alternitives might in some situations be a second/third sampler, a dedicated piono module, an expansion box synth etc. >>If there's no answer to this, which may be the case, how do you deal with >>cramming a couple of multisampled instruments into one instrument?

Or do > you bother? I don't think there's a way to move samples "en masse" as you would like. I think moving them one by one and then retuning them to the correct pitch might be the only way. I split my keyboard quite frequently, but do not move the samples "out of the way". In other words, I will create an instrument where below middle C is strings and above middle C is horns, for example. Many instruments naturally have a restricted range anyway. It is easy to fit drums, bass and brass all in a 5 octave span, for example. The other alternative is by judicious use of layers. If two instruments don't need to be played at the same time in a song but require the full 5 octave keyboard (organ and piano, for instance), put one instrument on layer 1 and the other on layer 2 and use patch select to switch between the two. I think the dumbest thing Ensoniq did was to allow 16 meg in the ASR but still restrict you to 8 instrument slots. They could have doubled it to 16 by using a "shift" key and not had to increase the number of buttons.

The GM sounds are included on the version 3.0 factory diskette. Keep in mind that the TS is GM Sound Module compatible. This means that the TS, when in GM mode, can be used as a GM module played from an EXTERNAL midi source. The TS will not read DOS disks, and it will not play GM sequences on the internal sequencer. Giebler Enterprises TS conversion software for the PC can be used to convert GM standard midi files into Ensoniq TS sequences which will play the proper GM sounds when they are loaded into the user banks of the TS. This also gives you the flexibility to selectively replace some of the GM sounds with the higher quality TS sounds. > 3. Can you also buy the old sound set, if you have the General Midi one?

Some of the effects (i.e. "guitar" distortions) have a very good noise gate that allow you to pinpoint the range that you want, as well as the envelope... unfortunately the effect does distort the sample (even with dist. levels=3D0) if you want a distortion effect, its great.

It sounds to me like you have some confusion about what MTC (midi time code) actually is. MTC is a time stamped form of code that compatible devices can read and get __absolute_ timing information from. MTC does not specify a tempo. The receiving device(or slave) sets it's own tempo. A MTC compatible device for EG. would be my Midi interface for my mac. (Midi time piece 2). The EPS16+ is NOT a MTC compatible device. What the 16+ will sync to is "midi clock" information. Midi clock info is not timestamped therefore the 16+ does not know where it is in time. For the 16+ to know where it is in time using midi clock sync you have to send it a "song position pointer" command, contained within the midi spec. However, midi clock sync does specify a tempo. When you put the 16+ into external sync mode it is waiting for a start message followed by the clock messages. *geeky sidebar* The resolution of the timing info in midi clocks is ONLY 24 pulses per quarter note. The resolution of midi time code is much much more , not sure exactly how much more but at least 80 divisions per second. I have not had much experience with the gear you speak of but I do know that unless you can get the sync box to send "midi clocks" and not midi time code info then what you are trying to make happen is impossible. I suspect this will be the case. If the device can send midi clocks then you will also be able to specify a tempo at the sync box.

Simply pan yr sample left and the audiotrack right and play with the settings to get the kind of gating you want. The EQ allows you to gate off of various frequencies; i.e., by filtering out the lows + mids, you could gate a signal to follow just the hihat of a full drum loop. Like all ASR FX, though, once you start playing with it, the rest of the day will be sucked down some weird temporal vortex :). - -Gregory G Booth - -Reality Scare ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Narayan is basically right. That's quite a fun subject. There is a way, but remember that the clicks come from the fact that when you are modulating the waveform, the wave becomes unaligned as far as the congruency is concerned. That is to say that you are butting together waveforms that don't match up; thus the clicks. "Transwaves" are special waveforms that have been designed to be modulated without clicking; in other words, the wave "always" lines up as you are modulating it. Transwaves are implemented in VFX's, SD's, MR's, and the TS series. On the 16-Plus and ASR, you can make your own, but it is very difficult. John Loffink wrote some excellent articles in the Transoniq Hacker outlining some conditions in which to make your own. WaveBoy makes a 5 disk set of sampled transwaves called the Transwave Library, check it out at your Waveboy dealer or Waveboy themselves.

[ I will leave the 'etc' out of the dicussion :)] Yes, there are many ways. But judging by how the question is phrazed, certain premises may have been assumed, which could lead to a definite 'No'. In decoding or interpretation of questions and answers it may be helpful to know a little about the person behind; what is his/her reference frame?, musical interests and so on. So to help you put any statement I might make in the right light, I reproduce a self fabricated self characterization: I can hear there is a difference between a Beethoven CD and a cartoon sound track, I just don't know exactly what it is. Why do you get a click in the first place? See way down this page. If clicks are musically objectionable and there is no way to avoid clicks when loopends and/or loopstarts is/are modulated, then you probably would not find that possibility on a sampler marketed as a musical instrument. There are situations where clicks are not objectionable and there are situations where you do not create clicks. There are many ways, ( but it is much easier to collide with the limits than the sky. ) If you have a small loop, for example a 'single cycle' and the fundamental frequency is the inverse of the loop time ( The terminology here is not well defined, but it should be obvious what we mean ) then you will not have a click and you will not get a click in the loop when the end and start points have changed a little after beeing modulated. You are likely to get varying amount of buzz, and the keyboard range where you can use the sample may vary with modulation. By changing only the end or start, you will change the pitch by modulation. If you modulate such that the changes are large and fast, then you could of course percive the result as a click but otherwise not ( There may be "inexplicable" pops occasionally, it will also depend upon how much you transpose ). If you have a single cycle loop then you can modulate the loop position and you should have the same pitch for all modulation amounts. For all steady state situations you would have a loop with no click. You should also get click free operation for slowly time varying modulation amounts. There will of coarse be limits on how much you can modulate and how fast you can modulate. It will depend on the source material. The parameter range is rather small. The trademarked Transwave modulation method on the ASR is just a help to extend the use of loop position modulation on single cycle loops, (allthough you can use it differently). In that mode the loop points are incremented or decremented in increments that are integer multiples of the loop length. There are also several modulation sources you may choose where you will not get a click. It is included in the above description, but let's separate it out, with some examples. The modulation sources where you change the modulation amount between individual notes but where it is the same during the length of the note will produce no clicks for single cycle sounds but can create buzz which can be filtered out or could be an integral part of the sound you are creating. You could use the keyboard, the velocity, random for short sounds, and depending upon how you control other sorces, wheel, pedal or external controller, You could then get different timbral content for different notes. There are also many situations where clicks may not be objectionable or you can filter them out to an acceptable level or remove them by editing your wave. Long loops where the loop consist of one or more hits rather than a steady note may fall in this category. You could for instance think of electronic vibra slap like instruments where the time between hits ( of the ball hitting the steel band ) varies during the coarse of the sound. You can do that by having any percussive sound of rasonably short duration. You need one single hit but you get all the repeats from the loop. By modulating the loop end by an envelope for example you modulate the time between single hits during the coarse of the sound. It makes a more interesting sounds than when the loop time is constant. Other similar examples are making simulated echos of an explosion where the time between echos vary. Further varying the length of rythm loops ( Caution, there could be a law against this ) I should also mention that clicks and other artifacts can be used. One of the (former?) list subscriber did. He put together a whole CD of sounds which many would characterize as a failiure at creating descent ASR instruments if you only consider the single sounds. However he put the sounds together in a brilliant and moving way. Why do you get a click in the first place? That is he first thing to consider when wanting to avoid it. As has been pointed out, a percieved click occurs when the sample amplitude at the end of the loop is different from that at the start, for forward looped sounds. So a sudden change in amplitude gives a percieved click. You also get a click if there is a sudden change in the phase of some of the partials making up the wave. You may get this even if the levels match up.(Example: Sine wave with jump from 0 to 180 degree phase angle) Further if you have a sudden difference in harmonic content of the wave. ( Example: Let a pulse cycle follow a sine cycle ) All these changes are likely to occur when going from the loop end to the loop start ( for forward loops ) For an acoustic sampling you can get all these sources to be minimal by selecting the loop carefully and applying one of the loop x fade algorithms in the ASR or apply it externally in third party audio software. So you have a perfect loop, but if any of the loop points change, the amplitude, phase and harmonic content may not match any more. Then you get a click or 'thump'. So if you modulate the loop end and or the loopstart, then you have to make the modulation in such a way that these transients will not occurr. If it can't be done with the sample at hand, you have to restrict yourself to samples where you can, or you have to process the wavedata with a puter or you have to synthesize the waves by a puter. This is easiest and most flexible with single cycle transwaves, but not very easy (nor very flexible:). Many ASR/16+/TS owners have made their own sets of transwave sound material. They have made their own programs or used such programs as CSound or TurboSynth (Mac). You can buy tranwaves from WAVeBOY ( try replace O/U there :) Rubber Chicken has advertized TransWave soundsets for years, as a coming soon product. Maybe that's an indication of little interest? You may increase the range of click free operation on the ASR by using the undocumented and inacessible from front panel loop modulation mode where you crossfade between adjacent waves at a slow adio rate to get a smooth operation in time varying modulation. It eats up one extra voices, is more difficult to set up and can't be controlled from the front panel. Finally, the LPSTRT-X modulation type is probably the easiest and most forgiving to use for effects somewhat similar to filter sweeps.

When you think about it, it is a pretty crazy thing to be able to do to begin with. BTW don't know if you tried this before but one cool thing I do with modulating start points is. 1) set up your sample 2) step record or real time record 16th or 32nd of the same note. 3) Sweep the start point. 4) on every retrigger you get a different part of the sample. It sound really crazed on vocals & on rez sweeps it's kinda like a poorman's TRANSWAVE.

(about 10 secs of audio, punching in) also. i'd like to format a disk that's been formatted for Mac already (a SCSI disk), but the ASR won'd seem to do it. is there anything i can do to the disk to get it to format? such. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I eventually opted to just sample everything separately and trigger the samples. This, of course, is not as desirable as sequencing on they fly since it requires the additional step of sampling the sequence and uses up more memory. If there is a way to trigger sequences on the fly, I would also like to know. If not, is there at least a way to mute tracks from an external controller? I know that tracks can be muted from the ASR by selecting the track/instrument button and using the scollers. However, it is really inconvenient in live performance to have to select each track before you mute it. It would be nice to mute a track at the push of a button (from an external MIDI controller, e.g.-Peavey PC1600) like muting audio signals on an audio mixer (e.g., Mackie-style mixer). Hmmm...?

Any advice on my dead output expander? Today it died while doing my setup with my 16+. I was getting hash out of the expander outputs (probably the multiplexed signal) and as I continued to troubleshoot by turning power off,and jiggling connectors to check for good contact, my keyboard did the slow death! Meanwhile, back home, I popped open the kbd and replaced the fuses to regain my keyboard. It seems fine, but the expander smells burnt. There appear to be two voltage regulators inside - big, 3-pins, covered in heat-shrink sleeves. Has anyone else had this happen? I've used my expander for a long time with no problem. AND=85aren't those 1.5A fuses supposed to be upgraded to= 2.0A, or was that just on the Classic?

I was just thinking that this is exactly what the MC-303 is supposed to do- it has something called a RPS system (realtime phrase synth, or something) which does just this, plays back a pattern (sequence of at least 1 track, maybe more, I'd have to check on that) with the touch of one little chicklet key... however I don't think these "phrases" will midi-out, but only plays on-board seq's (the arpeggiator does though!) ... the sequencer on the 303 is good for "on the fly"/live playback though,w/ muting tracks, etc. - an even more expensive solution would be to use a computer and a programmable sequencer like cubase, I think that will do it. But most of us, or at least I wouldn't want to drag a computer onstage- my ASR 10 is heavy enough! , also I think the drumkat and maybe the d-drum will trigger a sequence too (I don't own all of these). If you come up w/ any other ideas, besides sampling the whole pattern, I'd like to know -especially if you can do it w/out buying any more equipment:) Cheers Atom _________________________________________________ _________________________||||||||||||[_[_[_[_[_[_ AT=D6MIC ICON: sound + vision _________________________________________________ _________________________||||||||||||R.I.P.

This is absolutely one of the coolest techniques I've tried. Use it on fairly long phrases of words and it sounds like you're playing thousands of tiny samples. Use it on long analog filter sweeps-- do arpeggios and then overdub mod-wheel. I sampled my Juno-60 this way and I can't tell the diference between the two (for this particular thing, of course;-).

One question regarding this: Is it not possible to have a track in Sequence 1 be set to OUT=Bus1 and Sequence 2 be set to OUT=Bus2 ?? I tried this on an EPS 16+ anyway, and it appeared that the OUT setting must be consistent throughout the various sequences, unless you manually change it during playback. Is this correct?

I've solved the problem I had with connecting a ZIP Drive to the EPS 16+. After browsing through the "Rubber Chicken" pages I found a small note about an electronic solution (http://www.soundcentral.com/~chickeneps/zip16pls.html) which Chris Grandy has discovered. So what's the problem with Eps16+ and Zip's then? Well, as far as I know, neither the EPS or the ZIP supports TERMPWR in the SCSI chain, and that's why you have to connect another unit in the chain who can support the ZIP with it, or buy an SCSI II Sentry which does the same. However those two options is kinda expensive, and there's a much simpler solution from Chris Grandy who claims you could just feed the TERMPWR pin in the SCSI chain with +5V. I've tried it, and yes it works!!! and it's dirt cheap!! You can feed the TERMPWR signal in different ways though: 1) The Zip drive runs with +5v so I could just solder a cable between the +5v input inside the Zip to pin 25 on the D-Sub 25 SCSI input. The Zip drive will work just fine with other SCSI units too. If you're paranoid or just wan't to be on the safe side I suggest you use a diode too. (see the URL above for more information) 2) I could follow Chris Grandy's tip and solder directly on the EPS 16+ SCSI board. (seems risky if something goes wrong though. I mean the Zip is kinda cheap compared to the EPS :-) Just wanted to share my experiences... // Kent Hedman, Sweden ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

SCSI setups are a common problem and question - the things to consider are: 1) Termination 2) Power for termination 3) Order of SCSI ID's 4) Full Moon I suggest toying with different orders and ID's, as well as finding where the termination resistors are, and what drive(s) are feeding power to the termination buss. As a last resort, you can get a 2->1 SCSI switcher from Radio Trash for $10, that will isolate the Mac from the ASR, which is the source of many problems.

The ASR-X does not let you do a lot from the tiny front panel - too bad. The two things that surprised me about the new EPS/ASR sound loading is 1) you can't edit the sounds, and 2) the translation could be better. We loaded our standard RCS demo sample disk, and the brass sound didn't interpret the ENV1 mod correctly (it sounded awful) and the Magic Guitar pad sustained indefintely. So... This would be a good time to plug our new Sound Editor due out the end of September, called ASR-X Tools. It can translate EPS/ASR sounds for you (with optional translation parameters), you can edit any parameter within the sound (yes, all 8 layers that are imported, and an additional 8 that are provided), transfer .WAV and .AIFF files directly into an ASR-X format, read/write/format disks (they are DOS, though), and more. This means you can program the new features (especially the resonant filters) in, and even build your instruments from scratch! SYs-Ex implementation will be featured in a later version, probably, if it doesn't feature in the first version. Please contact us privately for more info.

It should be noted that the ASR does not provide term power either, but apparantly the opto-isolation of the ASR SCSI interface makes the term power issue moot.

I'd bet that it has to do with the total length of the SCSI cables. EPS is VERY sensitive to the strength of the SCSI data stream, and unless you're running 6 inch cables between all those devices, your SCSI length is almost certainly too long. I bet if you remove another of the devices and use the CD-ROM in its place, the CD-ROM will work. If that is not the case, than you probably have a CD drive that is incompatable with the EPS. Still, I bet the SCSI chain length is a problem for you.

Years ago (1989 or so), I used to use Alchemy to edit samples on my EPS. After much frustration, I was advised by Ensoniq that to get reliable communication between the Mac and EPS, I needed an unshielded ribbon cable (which I still have lying around somewhere). There was NO WAY I could get the connections to work using garden variety SCSI cables you'd get from XYZ distributors. The resistance in those SCSI cables (even less than 6 feet in length) would not allow a consistant data stream between the two devices. It was during this period that I became acutely aware of the EPS/ASRs need to have short SCSI lengths. To the gentleman who says he gets reliable connections between his EPS and a Syquist, I say, thank the gods - yours is the exception, far from the rule.

I don't know what you mean, especially by 'sounds'. I don't know if the Ensoniq manuals for the ASR-X have changed terminology from the ASR-10, and that can be part of my problem. So let my try to ask some questions from an ASR-10 point of view. Do you mean that you can not play multiple instruments on top of each other from the pads? ( I assume the piano like buttons can be called pads) I here use the word 'instrument' like I am used to on the ASR/EPS. Most likely you can accomplish this from a good external keyboard controller, a master keyboard or minimal computer. Either you can set each instrument you want to layer to recieve on the same midi channel or your master keyboard can transmit on multiple midi channels. If it is this kind of layering you miss from the pads, it might be possible that you could achieve it by hooking midi-out to midi-in and possibly let the instruments (those you want to layer or stack) only trigger from the external midi stream on the same midi channel as the pads transmit on. Wether you mean something else or not does not stop the curiosity about the ASR-X, so I ask more about it's layering. Can you set some of the layers in your sampled instrument to come from the built in ROM sounds? I think I would have liked that. I also would have liked to have layers from one instrument contain samples from another instrument, while storing only one copy of the samples in RAM. Is that how it is on the ASR-X? Let me hear you say yeah! I take it for granted that you can have 16 layers in an instrument. And this applies to sampled instruments as well as instruments with ROM samples. This had to do with layering sounds in the ASR-X sense, I hope? Garth told > things that surprised me about the new EPS/ASR sound loading is 1) >you can't edit the sounds, It may be Garth's surprise I'm confused about, if he really is. Does the Instrument you have converted from ASR/EPS offer less editing possibilities than other sampled instruments on the ASR-X? Then I would be surprised too. Is there really no editing possibilities on the ASR-X, or just less than you wish? Below, I'm just giving Rubber Chicken a free ride by not deleting it from the message.

The asr-x has the following architecture: 16 tracks = channels 1-16 = 16 instruments (eps style) you can load asr-10 instruments from asr-10 disks. when you load asr-10 instruments they are converted to the new format and stored in the instrument list of the sampler. the instrument list is like the sound-list of a ts-10 or mr-keyboard. there is a quick finder implemented with categories like on a mr-keyboard. you can have a lot of instruments stored in ram (more than 16) and in the tracks of the sequencer you choose the instrument you want to play with. so far so good. when you sample a new sound then the asr-x creates a new instrument in the instrument list and you can edit a subset of the original asr-10 parameters like envelopes, sample start and end, filters (all asr-10 modes plus lpf with resonance and bpf with resonance), modulators. the enveloppes are not so nice like the asr-10 enveloppes. no presets. no velocity switch between two amplitude settings. the wave editing is poor. no crossfades at all. no synthesized loop (one of my favourites). o.k. now you have created your first sample and you would like to create a new layer to stack your piano with strings. nope. not working. not implemented. so you have the clever idea that you copy a layer from an asr-10 instrument. you load the instrument, but you can not look at the layers. you can not look at the filters or envelopes or anything. you can give offsets to some parameters like in a sound canvas. e.g. +10 to the cut-off frequency for ALL samples and layers !!!!!!!!!!!

I have put up with it, however I would like to know if anyone has found a way around it. The Setup: I use the resonance filter on a sound and modulate the rez filter cutoff with velocity. Then, I add some percussion and bass or whatever. Then I save the instruments, sequence and bank. The Problem: When I reload the bank, the resonance cutoff is being modulated by all instruments in the sequence. I have checked the Track setting "Mod Effect" (or whatever it is) and they are all set to OFF except for the resonance instrument. To get it to work, I have to go to every instrument/track and set "Mod Effect" ON then OFF again. Then it works fine. I have had this filter for a few years and have had to do this little trick on stage LIVE after every bank loads. Does anybody know if there if a fix from WaveBoy? L.

I have had this filter for a few years and have >had to do this little trick on stage LIVE after every bank loads. >Does anybody know if there if a fix from WaveBoy? Very observant. In the Soniq Demolition manual, there's a note: "The TRACK parameter is important for using effect modulation in sequences. It should be set to OFF for tracks or sounds that are not supposed to send keys or controllers to the effect. "We have found one bug in the way that this parameter is maintained in a BANK LOAD. The setting of EFFECT CONTROL is saved for all 8 tracks in the bank. However, when the bank is loaded, the EPS/ASR does not look at the settings in the bank; it uses it's old, wrong, secret copies of them until you manually toggle the switches from OFF to ON and bank to OFF again." I guess this applies to all effects, Waveboy and Ensoniq. Also, we know this applies to the 16-Plus, but we do not know for sure if it applies to the ASR.

I've got some questions that may sound elementary, but I'm not real clear on some of it. I've got an old Ensoniq 8bit ESQ that I've hooked up through MIDI to my Pentium running windows 95. 1) Is there a Drum sound file that matches the drum program in all the MIDI files? It seems like the MIDI drum program has a different note for all these different sounds (hi-hat, bass drum, etc.) but the sound files that are at sound-central are all just single notes. The Power Drums sound file that came with the keyboard does not match the MIDI drum sounds Perhaps a larger question would be: Are there EPS sound files that match all the MIDI standard sounds? 2) I'm trying to use EPSDisk to format a floppy and use it in the floppy drive of the EPS, but the system doesn't recognize it. Then if I format it with the EPS, EPSDisk doesn't recognize it. I can write to other floppies that I inherited when I bought the keyboard, but I'm not sure why it isn't working. - --------------------------------------------- CONgress (n) - Opposite of PROgress Paul Sundquist paulsun@netaxs.com ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Don't know if this will help, but try changing the Disk T)ype in EPSDisk. Maybe also EPSDisk gets confused if you use HD disks and try to format them as DD disks without covering the extra hole on HD disks. The EPS can only read DD disks.

I would definitely NOT RECOMMEND transferring Ensoniq wavesamples to the computer through MIDI for your purposes. Even the smallest wavesample takes quite a bit of time, not only to broadcast, but to process inside the program. Do it the easy way - our Disk Tools program can easy take Ensoniq wavesamples from a Esnoniq file and extract them to .WAV format, then you can work with them in Recycle-Sound Forge, and install them back. You can even auditon the Ensoniq wavesample from within your sound card with Disk Tools. Nevertheless, MIDI-Disk Tools does support transferring of wavesamples via MIDI, for the purposes of wavesample viewing and editing, and it works quite well - I did a little bit of it this morning. Some users might have a certain MIDI problem, or they didn't understand how the program works. If you still want to transfer wavesamples via MIDI, and you are interested in MIDI-Disk Tools; for individual assistance, give us a call - we can get it working for you. Typically, a PC would do MIDI communication in 32K bytes, it's pretty much how the DOS/WIN system works. Get 32K, process it, get another 32K, append it, process it, etc. I believe Epsilon only gets one 32K chunk. MIDI-Disk Tools (and I should add our Mac program EAVES) get's consectutive chunks to build the entire wave, if desired. But I hope you can see the benefit of simply getting it all off the disk file. >The other question is :- I am thinking about getting a SCSI kit for my PC >(adaptec or similar), so could I get my PC to talk over the SCSI bus to the >EPS, this would be great for fast transfer. If so, does it matter what >devices are on the SCSI chain and what software would I need. That's really the next question - why not transfer the wavesample over SCSI? That would be more convenient than just doing it to disk. However, there are no current Windows programs that do this - the only one was Samplevision for Windows, and that is not being supported or sold anymore (although we have 1 copy left), and that program had quite a few problems to begin with. To further aggravate the problem, Win95 ASPI (the SCSI interface "language" that is predominant in Win95) does not easily allow non-target communication with other devices, unlike the Win 3.x ASPI or DOS ASPI did. A target is typically and hard drive or a CD-ROM drive, but the the EPS/ASR is a what's called an initiator, and requires different processes to access it. SO far, no one was come up with a workable solution. To FURTHER aggravate the problem, the ASR does not comminicate via SCSI in the same way EPS did, apparantly. On the Mac side, there are 3 programs that have supported SCSI transfer - ASR-SCSI (licensed to what was Jupiter Systems, which sold Infinity), Alchemy, and Peak. ALL have problems working with the ASR, although as Sim Mims of Syntaur Productions notes in his Hacker article, the EPS 16-Plus works fine in the setup. In addition, Steve Berkely, of PEAK, wrote ASR-SCSI and Peak, but as yet has not got around the SCSI communication problems of the ASR. See what a mess this is? If the writer is interested in SampleVision for Windows, please give us a call - it could work well with his 16-Plus, with the proper amount of support. But you can see the advantages of working off the disk file instead - with a setup of EPS/ASR -> SCSI Drive -> Computer, you really can have trouble-free SCSI communication automatically with minimum cost. To lend support, we use this setup on a day-to-day basis with few or no problems.

I heard (from a Music store salesman) that Soynd Forge supports SCSI. You should contact them and ask if they have support for Ensoniq SCSI transfers- (and if they don't - ask them WHY NOT- and tell them you want it). This may be the only route PC users have (unless that ingenious Garth can save us again....).

Also make sure you have the "Ensoniq ASR-10/88" checked inside of Recycle itself.

I finally got into it a while back when I realized I could take AIFF sounds I made on the Mac and create discs full of instruments to go throw into the EPS/ASR. It's great for this, using downloaded sounds from the net, etc. He also has a program that figures bpm's of loops, and one I've just sent my $$ off for, stEPS which builds instruments for the EPS/ASR. I thought it (epsm)was just good for those with Mac connected directly the sampler, but mine isn't and i find it quite useful.

Epsilon also does this chopping into sonsecutive chunks ( for multi-tasking reasons ). SendEps/GetEps does not chop the data into chunks, but it is not really faster than Epsilon. The main bottleneck is the midi transfer-rate. This is what makes midi-transfers so terribly slow. SCSI transfers would be a solution, but the changes that Epsilon will have SCSI support in the future are rather small.

I don't know. If you have an 8 GB hard disk, then if your EPS16+ can acess that, then that is the largest capacity. This may or may not have been actually tested. I think however that the question may be of a more academic interest. Humongous hard disks are not practical and certainly not on a 16+, in my opinion. If the current trend continues, then very soon you need an 8 GB hard disk in order to run M-softs latest Word processor on your computer, so that you can write a party invitation to your friends and send it off with a M-softs email program. Since you'll never write party invitations with your 16+, you'll not need an 8 GB drives:-). The EPS16+ file system should allow for 8 GB. ( = 512 * 2^24 ) It is then limited by the largest block number on the disk that can be represented by a 24 bit number. The blocks are 512 bytes. The file system is old and 8 GB hard disks were probably not obtainable when the file system was tested out. Then you'll never know. During software development some routines could use signed arithmetic instead of unsigned arithmetic by accident and then the maximum would be limited to 4 GB. These kind of errors may be common. I have seen them in the software tools I have used.

It is way too much work organizing your disk with the ASR. .. and in doing so, your files will be fragmented. If your disk is more than half full, then the loading times will most certainly have degraded when you have reeorganized your disk. If you still want to do it, note that if you have banks, and if you want to keep the banks valid after your reorganization, then you have to load the bank into the ASR first, then save the instruments at their new directories, then save the bank itself. You can not erase any instruments from their original locations before you have loaded all the banks from their old locations. It would be very difficult for you to keep track of what you were doing. You may exeed your disks capacity by doing it this way and it may be impossible to keep banks valid. If you want to start a new and better life with a new and better directory structure, to put new and better sounds into, then of coarse -recommended. What would then be the best directory structure would depend upon what your new and better life should be like. It depends upon what you use the Syquest for; type of music, type of project. It may also depend upon your own personality. You may perhops see some convenient ways of organizing sounds by looking how some others have organized theirs. My own music consist of noises that sounds highly disorganized. The kind of disorganization suitable for that is probably not well suited to many other individuals, but I may still have some points to make from watching others. For organizing many traditional instrument sounds, orchestral, pop and rock band instruments, I would make up a dozen or so categories at the root level. Many prefer to always use file slot number 5 for a Macro. I think two levels of directories is enough for this type of organization. (BASS: BASS-GUIT: STEINBERG 1 ). Ensoniqs SoundFinder(tm) is an example of categorization. It uses only one level and that would usually require many more caregories. It is practical on the MR and probably on ASR-X, but perhaps not so good for a directory structure. If you need to make comparisons between alternatives to sounds when making new pieces or spontanously pick a new sound on stage, then this organization could be beneficial. If you mostly use differents sounds and different instruments for each new song you make then it may work well for you categorizing the samples into projects and not instrument categories. It will serve the purpose of organizing your work and may make the rare event of reuse of material easier, because it may be easier to remember the project a sound was used in than the actual sound name. This should not require all that much planning a head. If your carts are occasionally used in a studio where commercial material is produced and you use larger audio cuts from cds/radio/tv/video for example loops, then the categorization could be a help in keeping track of copyright and legal issues. ( You can use copyrighted material for your own amusement, but not for others ) Other things to consider is the ease of loading and how you want to load sounds in a sequence , if you use one. You can load an instrument by issuing midi commands corresponding to its hierarcical position in the file system or you could load banks. It can be an advantage to have fewer directory levels in the former case because it would then be faster to load a new sample. The ASR allows 11 levels of directories. I have never had a use for utilizing them all.

You can get Awave at this address: http://hem.passagen.se/fmj/fmjsoft.html Then you can use EPSdisk to write it to an ASR disk.

Remember you need to go to the folder you want to save to. If you don't, that file will just go into wherever you happen to be at the moment and that can be a nightmare. Some short cuts. a) Command and double clicking on the inst. button gets you the save instrument dialog. b) If you get lost press the directory button and return to root. c) If you still can't get to your files remember you are climbing directories eg. Root--Sounds--Synths--Analog--###### when you get here##### this is just like using a floppy. Press instrument/sequence song/effects to get the files. Tip: if you are loading stuff in some sort of order, it'll probably be a good idea to start making some banks here. 6) after your done with that make macros to jump to your favorites. 7) make sure to save the new macro file and any system prefs. 8) Now when you start up off that drive you'll be ready to rock. Since the Zip and the Syquest are in the 100 meg neighborhood I usually don't have a problem remembering my directories and locations but you know that paper I scratched out? Tattered to shit it's still taped to my keyboard stand. If you look at it for a month or so you'll memorize it all. Aside from the ASR's fat comp'd sound and the killer effects I think the Macros and Banks is what really keeps me hooked on Ensoniq Samplers. A sound I can't get to fast is worthless to me.

Our Disk Tools program has a complete editable Backup and Restore function - - it works in native Windows, provided your PC has a SCSI interface. (For a very limited time, we might be able to provide a SCSI interface for free as well.) For the person who was interested in turning a .WAV file into a EDA (ASR Disk Image) to use on his ASR, AWAVE -> EPSDisk or EDE method is a good FREE method (although all those programs are shareware, rather than freeware); but if you want to out multiple .WAV or AIFF files into an Disk Image, make your own Disk Images, write them to floppy or SCSI, or even create your own Bank files, check out our Ensoniq Disk Tools program at our web site. It's a commercial program, though.

If you're just wanting to make a backup copy of the disk you have, the easiest (although time-consuming) way to do it is to use the "Backup SCSI Drive" command under Command->System. Basically the ASR-10 will read a section of the disk into memory, ask you to put in a destination disk, then write the contents of the disk it has in memory to the new disk, then ask you to put the original back in again, read, switch, write, switch, read, switch, write, switch...you get the idea. It took me about 2 1/2 hours of half-paying attention with an ASR-10 with 10 megs of memory to copy a relatively full Zip disk. - -TyPe0 On Mon, 22 Sep 1997, Haakon Berg wrote: > Hello, > > I have an ASR-10 and a ZIP drive.... my problem is how to back > up a nearly filled 100MB zip disk.

You can do a "copy SCSI drive" and then sit there and eject/insert both Zip disks about 15-20-30 times (depending on how much RAM you have) while it copies that much data at a time. clark ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

So, you really want to maximize that 37 (?) directory-per-level limit. Here's what I do: Top level contains instrument catagories: keyboards, Guitars, basses, drums, percussion, strings, horns, winds, etc. next level is subdivisions: within keyboards, I have pianos (within this, I have acoustic, electric), organs, synths, clavinets, etc. - within percussion, I have pitched and unpitched Also on the top level, I have project classes - My projects, Nile's projects, commercials, etc. within "Nile's projects", I have artists' names - within those, I have song titles, within which I have all the files pertaining to indiviual songs that aren't contained in the other instrument directories Hope this helps.

This will allow you to backup/restore (which will defragment all your files), quickly make copies (clones) of cartridges... and supply instantly a spare drive if one fails ! (this occurs always when and where you don't expect it). - -I tried to backup with the (DI-10) digital interface & DAT : it works, but is tedious, slow and not completely reliable. - -For the moment, it could be safe and cheap (the price of one zip cartridge) to make at least a single copy of your disk: simply prepare a formated cartridge, and choose "copy scsi drive" in the Command menu, then give the same scsi id# (the Zip's one) both to origin & destination. The ASR will ask you to insert each disk (too) many times, until you get all copied. It's tedious (you'll get what I call "the toaster syndrome"), and remember, you'll end with an "exact" copy of your original disk (which means exactly fragmented or damaged the same, with exactly the same errors). But at least, you won't have NOTHING if your unique and treasured disk fails... Hope this helps !

To format a new SCSI disk, you have to boot/start your EPS from a floppy. This is because when you boot from a hard drive, the format SCSI drive = option is disabled - a safety device incorporated into the SCSI utilities by Ens= oniq to prevent accidental erasing of hard-drives and SCSI disks. And if you have ever accidentally starting re-formatting a 370MB hard drive, you'll appre= ciate this detail. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

This has been discussed too much on the list here, so I will only say that there are a couple MIDI interfaces and drivers which upon initial release did not support sys-ex messages adequately. Newer versions iron out these difficulties. If you have MIDI difficulties with MIDI-Disk Tools, please don't waste bandwidth on this list; it is our product, and we have fixed around 95% of people's problems of that nature usually within 24 hours of the report - we ARE listening! Mr. Anoff has never discussed this with us, and "deveds2" has just purchased the product, and we are checking on his instance as we speak. Oh well, while I'm posting, if anyone has been having MIDI problems with the Tools demo, here is a reprint from the Help file: PROBLEM: When I cluck on ALL or Single in the Main Page, it doesn't get past the Reading Instrument 1 Parameters prompt. Either that or it only gets to Effect 1, and then times out. or, PROBLEM: My EPS/ASR doesn't respond at all when I cluck ALL or Single. SOLUTIONS: There could be several problems. Try any of these: 1) Check if your MIDI SYS-EX=OFF. 2) Go into Preferences and increase the Single HS Delay by 1 or 2, or the Time Out Length parameter by several seconds. 3) Exit the program, exit Windows to reset the driver, restart Windows, restart the program, and try it. 4) It is possible that you do not have the latest drivers for your MIDI interface. Many less expensive MIDI interfaces do not support system-exclusive calls properly, and many mainstream MIDI interfaces did not support them until later revisions of their driver. Please contact your MIDI interface manufacturer for the availability of their latest drivers. If that doesn't work, call us - please have the date and the version numbers of your MIDI interface handy - we have been able to solve most MIDI problems that way.

Hopefully Terje put that into his famous EPSm program - at least through automatic backing up and restoring. The PC programs have that. Otherwise, backing up and restoring with the EPS/ASR itself to a "dummy" drive is always good to do once in a while.

This is my work email and deveds2 is my home email. Also, I have been on the phone with Creative and they can't solve my MIDI in problem. I have eliminated my suspicion of MIDI-Disk Tools and can't wait to start using it. I suspect that it's my MIDI adapter - a MediaVision. It is a really cool box but I think it might be done for. I'll experiment with the adapter that came with my AWE32 - IF I can find it. To The List, MIDI-Disk Tools looks like a GREAT product. I was wondering, have you considered making the application (or enabling it as) a plug-in to Cakewalk or Cubase? I would love to record some of these parameter changes with a sequencer. It would be cool. L. David Smith II Internet Administrator KOVR 13 Online http://www.kovr.com - -----Original Message----- From: Rubber Chicken Software Co.

Not a whole lot and you shouldn't have to go out buying software just to defragment zip disks, that would be silly. You would think Iomega would have put a defragger in with the disk tools if that defragmentization were a big problems with zip disks. Defragmenting was written for much larger drive. If you still worried about it you could use the poor mans defragger which is to copy all the files from the original zip disk onto the hard disk, delete all the files off of the original zipdisk then copy the files back to the zipdisk from the hard disk (defragging in the process) . cheers.

It has a bad connection in it somewhere. I reconnected everything and was able to send MIDI to Cakewalk. However, every time I try to read an instrument from the 16+ into MIDI-Disk Tools, I get a series of errors that state "ERRORED" then a "No on a" then "ERRORED" then another "No on b", etc... I goes through the whole alphabet that way. I have to click OK about 75 times. Any ideas? Also, once you open a wavesample window (the black background one), how do I close it? I keep having to three-finger salute and restart the app just to get rid of it. Finally, is it possible to read my SyQuest drives through MIDI? I would like to be able to use Disk Tools to do this, but the app tells me that I don't have an ASPI DOS driver loaded. Help. L.

This is my work email and deveds2 is my home email. Also, I have been on the phone with Creative and they can't solve my MIDI in problem. I have eliminated my suspicion of MIDI-Disk Tools and can't wait to start using it. I suspect that it's my MIDI adapter - a MediaVision. It is a really cool box but I think it might be done for. I'll experiment with the adapter that came with my AWE32 - IF I can find it. To The List, MIDI-Disk Tools looks like a GREAT product. I was wondering, have you considered making the application (or enabling it as) a plug-in to Cakewalk or Cubase? I would love to record some of these parameter changes with a sequencer. It would be cool. L. David Smith II Internet Administrator KOVR 13 Online http://www.kovr.com - -----Original Message----- From: Rubber Chicken Software Co. [SMTP:chickenEPS@willmar.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 1997 4:09 AM To: eps@oak.oakland.edu Subject: Re: EPS: 16+ Not Sending MIDI at all Before I respond to a post, let me report that a 32-bit version of MIDI-Disk Tools should be available within a week at our web site. For unregistered users, the program is simply a demonstration version, designed to show you the basics of the program. At 03:14 PM 9/24/97 PDT, you wrote: >>I too had problems when I tried out MDI-Disk Tools 3.2 (trial version), even >when >all the sys-ex tests worked out fine. Not that this helps, but just so you >know you >are not alone. >Mr Rubber Chicken are you listening? This has been discussed too much on the list here, so I will only say that there are a couple MIDI interfaces and drivers which upon initial release did not support sys-ex messages adequately. Newer versions iron out these difficulties. If you have MIDI difficulties with MIDI-Disk Tools, please don't waste bandwidth on this list; it is our product, and we have fixed around 95% of people's problems of that nature usually within 24 hours of the report - we ARE listening! Mr. Anoff has never discussed this with us, and "deveds2" has just purchased the product, and we are checking on his instance as we speak. Oh well, while I'm posting, if anyone has been having MIDI problems with the Tools demo, here is a reprint from the Help file: PROBLEM: When I cluck on ALL or Single in the Main Page, it doesn't get past the Reading Instrument 1 Parameters prompt. Either that or it only gets to Effect 1, and then times out. or, PROBLEM: My EPS/ASR doesn't respond at all when I cluck ALL or Single. SOLUTIONS: There could be several problems. Try any of these: 1) Check if your MIDI SYS-EX=OFF. 2) Go into Preferences and increase the Single HS Delay by 1 or 2, or the Time Out Length parameter by several seconds. 3) Exit the program, exit Windows to reset the driver, restart Windows, restart the program, and try it. 4) It is possible that you do not have the latest drivers for your MIDI interface. Many less expensive MIDI interfaces do not support system-exclusive calls properly, and many mainstream MIDI interfaces did not support them until later revisions of their driver. Please contact your MIDI interface manufacturer for the availability of their latest drivers. If that doesn't work, call us - please have the date and the version numbers of your MIDI interface handy - we have been able to solve most MIDI problems that way.

The Banks are probably gone because they now exist on a different SCSI ID number. banks reference this to find the sounds. The Copy OS to Disk, means that the new 44mb drive was being formatted. If you have two 44mb drives hooked up, I bet the middle one is still terminated, probably causing write problems once it tried to write the OS to the destination 44mb. Solutions: Take out the termination in the middle 44mb drive in the chain. Redo the COPY SCSI DRIVE function, and you should be fine. Remember that the banks, if they worked on the source drive, will not work on the destination drive, unless you change the SCSI ID of the destination to the same one as the source drive.

In the message body put: unsubscribe eps My Pleasure Mr. Berg, The rubber chicken was a comedy stage prop used in Vaudeville (some say). I think it was made popular in a magicians stage act. He later played "Grubber" in the television sitcom "McHales Navy". It is literally a bald scrawny chicken (although the ones I've seen have a comb atop the head and so may actually be a rubber rooster) complete with legs and feet and plucked wings at the sides. Quite memorable in sight and name. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Hi All, I bought some Roland sample CDs (Orchestral Collection, Strings, Brass, Winds) and loaded the sounds in my ASR-88. I have to say that I am not very impressed. I'm not sure if it is just the ASR that imports them wrong or if the sounds were so "simple" to begin with. The biggest problem is that the loops on some sounds (Oboe, for example) are off by a fraction. It seems that you can correct the loops by adjusting the fine tuning on the "Loop End" wave edit parameter. Also, the sounds do not respond to the patch buttons in any usable way. I guess, with some work, you could make something decent out of the sounds, since the basic raw material seems to be OK. Does any know if importing AKAI sounds works any better? Are there any PC programs out there that will do a better job at converting sounds ?

Kurt" Subject: EPS: EPS-16+ SCSI + Zip TERMPWR modification Hey all, I've been chafing about needing to carry around a powered terminator (an APS SCSI Sentry) to get my Zip drive to work with my EPS-16+, so I decided to try and add TERMPWR sourcing to the EPS-16+. It was pretty easy to do if you know which end of a soldering iron to hold, and it seems to work quite nicely. Free from powered termination! If anyone is interested in doing this to their own EPS-16+ (and has a decent knowledge of electronics), let me know and I'll tell you what I did. As an aside, when I was working on my EPS's SCSI interface, I was entirely underwhelmed by its quality of workmanship. The SCSI Interface sits on top of the memory expansion card, and connects to it (!) via a cheezy 10 pin header connector. The memory expansion itself is held in place only by the card-edge connector to the mainboard; no holding clamps or screws or anything like that. No wonder people get a lot of "Error - Reboot?" messages! Also, the DB25 connector and its ribbon cable turned out to be intermittent (which caused me about a year of grief thinking it was my external SCSI devics), and one of the bypass capacitors on the board wasn't even soldered down! I soldered down the cap, replaced the DB25 connector, and inspected the board under a magnifier looking for cold solder joints and the like. Everything works fine now and my EPS-16+'s SCSI finally works consitently. Again, if anyone is interested in what I did or how I did it, gimme a buzz. If a lot of people are interested, I'll just put up a web page or three with photos and stuff. :) - -tod - ---- tod@alumni.caltech.edu tod@presence.com == tod@alta.com Tod E.

It is quite normal that the patch button do not provide any spectacular results, since only Ensoniq native samples (at least those programmed by "true" Ensoniq users) include those parameters. Nevertheless, the loops should be perfectly translated, and I had even been impressed by the way the ASR manages multi layering on Roland samples (not on Akai's, which need usually a few adjustments).

I don't miss the keyboard version nor the "keys" for that matter since I am mainly into sample triggering and MIDI manipulation using the Peavey PC-1600, see . With the PC-1600 I can allocate buttons and sliders to call up patch select variations not to mention conjure up a number of other MIDI scenarios. Sorry, I don't mean to plug a non-Ensoniq product on the list but the combination of the two is really neat, especially if you are into experimental, real-time music-making. And besides, I'm so depressed by Ensoniq's latest ASR-X unit that I get excited talking about directions other than "cool, in-the-house and groovy" that Malvern could have taken the series.

I think the ASR10 keyboard is much nicer for a studio setting (if you have the space for it), you will enjoy the patch selection buttons, the nice keys, and... it looks great! ;-) On the other hand, I think the Rack is much more portable, it has the output expander embedded in the case, it uses less space and it is less likely to get damaged in a transportation accident. The question depends obviously upon your needs/constraints/preferences... if you have a nice 88-k weighted action master keyboard of something you fell confortable using to control the ASR10 go for it!

OK, I won't pitch our software. So far, there isn't any Ensoniq EPS/ASR disk software that works in NT, so too bad there. Why not get a SCSI interface for your ASR-10? Sure, it's expensive ($350) - but my ASR would sit if it didn't have a hard drive. The ASR-X has the disadvantage of being difficult to work with if you are looking for full multi-layer musical instruments, but it's built-in rez filters, 16 channel multi-timbral, 34mb capacity, and sharp sound make it very useful. The SCSI is just starting to ship, and it can load existing EPS/ASR sounds.

As it turns out, I had a MIDI going thru to several other devices, a couple drum machines and a DP/4. The DP/4 was at the end of the MIDI thru chain, the ASR at the beginning. I never fully setup the DP/4--was hoping to have the loading of the song in the ASR trigger the loading of a config on the DP/4. When I unplug the thru to the DP/4: no more errors. Apparently, it sensed that something at the end of the MIDI chain wasn't "ready" and, after starting the sequence, would stop after a measure and go to Error 215. If anyone has specific help on the DP/4 MIDI setup, I'd apprciate it! thanks, clark ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Hi all, during a couple of concerts during the last months I ran into an obvious, but nevertheless unsolveable (to me) problem. I use an old EPS ["Classic"] keyboard on stage to control my rack-mounted 16+ Turbo and some other stuff, like a Korg WS/AD, or a Sherman Filterbank. This trusty old EPS is my masterkeyboard (... I still _love_ the double-click-feature...) and a kind of real-time controlled sequencer. While I know exactly which set of sounds (="Banks" &"Presets") I'll use for each part of the gig, the structure of our songs is pretty changable, depending on a lot of influences. What I mean is: I don't simply start "Songs" (= the file-type), but switch between single "Sequences" on the fly during our perfomance. This alone is a big PITA, as I have to change to Edit*Sequence-mode, where only _one_ active Instrument is allowed (whereas I often have up to 8 active MIDI-only-Instruments on my EPS for each "song"). But things even get worse when I try to do Mutes or Solos of certain sequenced tracks while they are played, because - you guessed it -- I even have to _select another Instrument_ than the one I'm actually _playing_ live (... yes, with my fingers, on the keyboard --- I even have to do this kind of stuff ;-). My question: Has anyone the slightest idea _how_ I could control the Mute- and Solo-function from outside, preferably via MIDI (SysEx)? BTW - I don't think that the "virtual buttonpresses" are the way to go, as they cause the same problem as above. ??? Garth? Did you dig _that_ deep while programming the "Tools"?

I go through this frequently. I carry around an ASR with a ZipDrive built in. It's great to program some drum tracks when a drummer isn't around, but playing and controlling the drum sequences are a major pain for just that reason. No kidding. Always a drag - the EPS/ASR is so close to being a integrated sequencer and sound module - it is the Ensoniq PERFORMANCE Sampler, isn't it? >My question: Has anyone the slightest idea _how_ I could control the Mute- >and Solo-function from outside, preferably via MIDI (SysEx)? BTW - I don't >think that the "virtual buttonpresses" are the way to go, as they cause the >same problem as above. >Garth? Did you dig _that_ deep while programming the "Tools"? Well, not in Tools yet, although it's set up for it. You can edit the SEQ status and SONG status tracks via MIDI, but here is a better solution - you don't think you'd take a computer in performance with you... 1) Set one CONTROL instrument, and set it to MIDI STATUS=MIDI 2) Put your EPS's on Multi-Mode 3) Get any MIDI patchbay, such as the the Peavey MIDIator (I think that's the name), Digital MX-8, Ensoniq KMX-8 or -16, or if you can ever find one, the Axxess Mapper (that's what I have). Simpler patch bays just have preset programs to switch how many MIDI channels are controlled by one channel. More complex one's add filtering, key-maapping, and/or volume control - just like what your EPS does with the presets. 4) Route the MIDI-OUT of the EPS into your 16-Plus, and the MIDI THRU of the 16-Plus back to your EPS. 5) Your modus operandi would be to play the Original EPS with the EDIT-SEQUENCE/SONG activated, watching your sequences and adjusting them. You would use the patchbay to do your presets, etc - and the cable routing enables you to play all 16 MIDI Channels - 8 on the 16-Plus and 8 on the Original EPS - even the one you are using as a MIDI control isntrument! I know a MIDI patchbay is an extra expense, but nobody should be without one. Too bad Ensoniq didn't designed the EPS/ASR fully to manage this type of thing. Added tip: Put internal Program Changes into your sequences that remotely change the setting of the patchbay itself - it's of an automated thing, but it frees up something - sometimes.

This one formats for about 15 minutes, then says, "not an eps hard drive" or something like that. Could this be because of an incorrect interleave? The other HD is a Maxtor 1.2 GB (wow).

Boot off your floppy os. Command/SysMIDI to format SCSI device. >What the hell is interleave? basically it's a setting to make the Drive and your EPS/ASR work together to maximize efficiency. You have to experiment with this. Format your drive copy a fairly large sound and use a stopwatch to see how long it takes. Reformat with another setting and do the same thing. Choose the setting that gives you the best performance. Some setting will make it so you can't do anything, if that happens don't use that one. > How do you know the scsi #? This can be set to your preference. If you're using CD ROM, don't use ID#4 since that is reserved for CD ROM's. You can use a CD ROM on other numbers but you can't use macros if you do, not a good idea. I could explain further but just use 5 or 6 and you'll be fine. > I have searched the unsearchable archives for hours (literally).

Could this be because of > an incorrect interleave? Hmm. don't know. Some other factors are termination, and cables. I think there is a primer on using SCSI in the RUBBER CHICKEN SITE. You should check that out. Good luck, getting the compatibility issues ironed out is 90% of the battle, once you get that everything should be a snap. One tip. Once you get a way that works don't change it ie: the order of the chain the ID's the Termination, the order that you power up, everything. SCSI is really weird, when it's working it's great but sometimes it's behaivior defies logic. Some sort of Black Magic.

The new Jaz Drives do not work with Ensoniq equipment - their firmware is still using non-standard SCSI commands. If you have any way of getting an old Jaz, made in 1996, that would work, If you need a large removeable drive, the SyJet is a possilbe solution, or we sell a 540mb removeable drive (fully compatible with a 16-Plus) for $179.95.

I used to own an EPS-16+ and doing a lot of sequencing directly on it. A couple of yars ago, I sold it for the reason of upgrating to a "more comprehensive" sampler, computer and all that stuff. About 3 years ago, when I still had the EPS-16+, I sequenced a piece on it which I now would like to put onto tape. I still have the floppy with sounds and the sequence. It requires only 2MB RAM and analog stereo output. So I'm looking for someone in LA area who could kindly allow me to come into their studio for half-hour and dump the song onto DAT (the song lasts about 7 minutes). I can pay $30 or so for that. I don't have much to through around at this point, otherwise I'd just rent the thing. If you could help me, would you please email or call me at 818-563-1464. Thanks!

Out of 14 disks we have bought, we've had problems with 5. I've been on the daw-mac mailing list asking about this and it seems to be the general concensus that the Jaz drives are _very_ unreliable. Almost _no-one_ has _not_ had problems with theirs. I love having a 1gb removable drive, but I _hate_ the Jaz (you would too if you'd lost weeks worth of work to one). I would only trust it if you had your data duped on _three_ disks, and at that price you might as well be buying fixed HD's. I havn't tried or heard about the new 2gb drive, but with the experience of the Jaz I wouldn't expect different. Also, Iomega pretty much doesn't give a shit. They know the product is a lemon yet they keep pushing it. They wanted to charge me $100 for each disk to recover data. Fine for a commercial outfit, but I personally can't afford that. Also, the tech guy basically indicated that if we couldn't get our disks working we could just return them and they'd recover the data free. Gave me another number to call for a return purchase#, and _they_ said "$100-- put up or shut up". Fuck Iomega. Anyone had any experience with the SyJet from Syquest?

Interleaving refers to how data is physically stored on the disk. For various types of drives, you can optimize performance (speed) by altering the interleaving factor (this can only be done when formatting).

While viewing the actual tempo of your current sequence (i.e., the BpM-value underlined), you may tap-in the tempo by hitting the Enter-button. I seem to remember that the EPS's sequencer is not allowed to play during the procedure, but I may be wrong about this. This seems to be a great feature at the first glance, but I made the experience that it's practical value is not too big, because there's no "averaging" between several hits. The measured tempo depends always on the interval of only two taps, so you better train your timing ;-) ...

With the SCSI I also got OS 2.03. Installation was no pronblem at all. The ASR-X now reads in EPS cd's and AKAI cd's. Works fine. The conversion of the AKAI format seems to work better than the conversion of the EPS format. I think that is mainly because of the more complex sounds of the EPS. It is really bad that you cannot adjust the loaded EPS sounds. The ASR-X just does'nt let you edit them. I had a strange effect that in the BOESENDORFER piano on eps cd-2 all samples but one reacted to velocity. Ensoniq has definitely to work on the conversion or give some tool to adjust the parameters of single waves. I also installed the ASR-X in a SCSI-chain with my PC and a SCSI-hard disk. (Two masters on the bus !) The ASR-X and the PC could read and write on that hard disk. It is possible to edit single waves on the pc and store them on the hard disk and then read them in with the ASR-X - cool. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I have one, and it is fairly reliable, provided you don't throw too much garbage at it.

I also just installed a Sound Logic memory expander and scsi port for my 16+.

Hey, I am new to this list and this is the first I have heard of a non-Ensoniq SCSI port installation. I have a ASR10 that I bought the week they came out. I too have been living w/o SCSI (the option was not offered immediately and I have never been willing to live w/o my deck long enough to send it to Ensoniq for install). Does this SCSI port work on the ASR10, or is there one available for the ASR10?

The ASR-X is clearly for DJ/ and other applications but not a continuation of the Ensoniq samplers/workstations. I think Kurzweil still produces and promote the k2000, however, they developed the k2500. I hate E-mu but let's recognize they're taking a big step with so many samplers and products (from the new ESI to the E4, E4 turbo, E synth, etc). They provide internal sounds, 128 voices, expandable midi inputs, audio outputs, and any thing you can imagine. I bring this to the list because I just bought a fine book: Vintage Keyboards, and it's really amazing how fragile is the keyboard market; many fine products such as Moog, Sequential Circuits, ARP, etc., were erased from the map when new developments appeared (such as... well you know that old story).

Let me tell you a story: In march I ordered an ASR-10 keyboard w/SCSI from Musician's Friend. I was going to pay $2,399.oo for it (the same price than the E-mu E6400 expandable to 128 voices, etc, etc). I place the order and waited one week, then two, but every time I called Musician's Friend they told me they were waiting for them to be supplied from the factory. I even contacted someone at Ensoniq who told me the were going to be supplied in one week. After 2 more weeks I got sick of waiting and cancelled the order. I found a used one on the internet (2 months, still under warranty) for only $1000 dollars...! If you think about it, this story reflects more than one problem at Ensoniq.

Does any one know: will the DP/4 load a config from an ASR song select? I have the ASR sending out song select data, which the drum machine picks up and loads the proper song, but I can't seem to get the DP/4 to do the same. According to the DP/4 manual, it recognizes Song Select info. Or is it that it only recognizes the info for presets and not configs?? The only way I have figured out to load a config via MIDI in the DP/4 is to send a program change--which means I have to use an Instrument channel on the ASR to do so AND I have to somehow change my synth from "OMNI ON" to "OMNI OFF" so it won't also read the program change info (it naturally goes to "OMNI ON" mode at rebooot) Supposedly, I can send a Sys Ex command via MIDI to switch this (mode 1 to mode 3...omni on-> omni off) but will the ASR even do that??

In the message body put: unsubscribe eps Hi Simon, I guess you mean "quality is no guarantee of success" ? I don't know any real guarantee but quality is the first and most powerful, longest lasting, and most honest way to attain whatever "success" might be. Ensoniq is so high quality thatthey may have problems for their resale or "return buyer" market because much of their products are built so well that they don't get replaced because they're like the Timex wristwatch: (Takes a lickin' keeps on tickin') Consider this question regarding the manufacture of durable goods: Does quality invite failure? The other thing is this music industry. The home.consumer market is buying Casios, Technics, etc. A little more "pro" is Ensoniq, et al. But Im finding out that major employers (Media, Recording industrys) are keeping about 300 people getting ALL the work and we are unable to break in. We don't buy new equipment because we cant get rewarded for the sound we coax out of these fine products. Thats why Sequential Circuits, and the others you mentioned bite the dust. (Sequential was the paramount force in developing MIDI and getting the rest of the worlds product manufacturers to adopt it. They gave it to us for FREE) It makes me sad to know about the worlds talent that would buy all the quality gear they could get hands on if the industries would let them earn enough to do so. Maybe the world has enough as it is...I'm shutting up. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I am looking for a mixer with : 4 1/4" inputs and 4 XLR outputs. I have been told that it does not exist. Is that true? I need that for live purposes. I have a ASR 10 sampler and i use 2 stereo outputs. I want volume control on these 4 outputs (main out L+R & Aux 1 L+R). I also want to eliminate the 4 direct boxes I usually need. So i would send the Main out and Aux 1 in the mixer, and the XLR outputs to the main console. So that way, the soundman would have different EQ settings on, let's say, track 17-18 for the drum loop, and track 19-20 for the sampled sounds. I hope you understand what i'm trying to explain.

Is that true? Hmmmm. I think they're right that doesn't exist in a keyboard mixer. If you get a 4 or 8 bus board you could do that but man that would be a pretty big desk to be carrying around just for your ASR. > I have a ASR 10 sampler and i use 2 stereo outputs. > I want volume control on these 4 outputs (main out L+R & Aux 1 L+R). > I also want to eliminate the 4 direct boxes I usually need. > So i would send the Main out and Aux 1 in the mixer, and the XLR outputs > to the main console. > So that way, the soundman would have different EQ settings on, let's > say, track 17-18 for the drum loop, and track 19-20 for the sampled > sounds I have a cost/space/trouble saving solution though. Get a Mackie 1202 or a 1404. They run about 400-600 bucks new, they sound great, are handy in many situations and are built for the rigours of gigging. 4 ins is no problem but to solve your 4 out problem. First of all when you buy a mixer you have EQ. So EQ your sampled sounds on the mackie and send the soundman a XLR stereo mix of the 4 tracks. You can even add outboard effects there and basically you've got your sound the way "YOU LIKE IT". I gig all over and while i've run into some very good sound guys most are mediocre at best. For instance when i'm playing a ballad they don't give me more reverb, when i'm talking they don't shut off the reverb..........you know they're not listening to the music it's just a job for alot of sound guys. (sorry if there are any sound guys on the list but I was a sound guy for over 2 years and I always had a song list and I would be a active part of the performance changing levels, adding effects, fighting feedback, etc. so I know it's a art and just as creative and important a part of the performance as what the musicians are doing on stage) Right now I have my saxophones mic, vocal mic, Guitars, synths, all plugged into a Mackie 1404. I have effects hooked up and have footswitches to control them. I make my sound and send the sound guy a stereo mix. He sets me at Unity Gain and does some mild EQ and Compression. With this system I can get basically the same sound anywhere I go. No feedback, effects get changed for each song, if something doesn't sound right I just turn around and tweak it till it's right, and when i'm talking I hit my footswitch to cut effects. It sounds perfect so i'm always inspired and I can concentrate on performing instead of getting pissed at the soundguy for fucking up and you wouldn't even believe some of the clusterfucks i've been through. Oh and there's one thing that I feel is really effective when using Drum Loops. Since drums are supposed to come from the stage with a bleed through the PA, I connect a Hartke Bass Amp(Biamped with tweeter) to one the Sends. I send the DRUM LOOP track and pound that on stage. This way the drums are coming off the stage as well as through the PA. This helps me and the band groove better. Since the Drum sound should be rockin the Players as well as the audience, i've found that this is a necessity. Sure you can get a monitor send from the house but I never liked having drums coming to me from the front. That's weird and it don't shake yo bootay. Also I like my monitors with only vocals. I should be able to hear everyone else on stage. What I learned from my 2 years of sound work is a nice stage mix makes musicians happy, happy musicians perform well, well performed music is easy to mix. If you don't want to bother with shaping your own sound, well you could get the 4 outs you need by using the sends on your mixer. But usually only main outs have XLR. you'll have to use DI's for the other two tracks. hope that helps. aloha, ICHI >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ENSONIQ JAPAN INC> Nishi-Shinjuku Toyokuni Bldg. 1F 2-5-8 Hatsudai, Shibuya Ku Tokyo Japan 151 Tel 81-3-5351-1401 Fax 81-3-5351-1430 E mail: ens-mi@mail.at-m.or.jp URL: http://www.at-m.or.jp/~ensoniq >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Then that messes up all >the banks so they won't load, right? Yes, right >So then he renames it back to the original name, and they still won't >load right? No, not right Naming ZIP disks by an idiot is a completely reversible process. I have assumed that you by the expression 'the bank won't load' mean that the files which the bank is referencing will not load. ( whereas the bank file itself loads ) If we for a minute suppose you have 'a bank that won't load', then you have mainly two options... 1.) Make a better song than the original with better instrumentation and mixing, master it on CD, send it off to your record company and have them sell a few millions of your song on CD. That way you won't have the problem of remembering what the ZIP name was the next time you want to listen to your song - just call the local radio station, send a birthday greeting to your friend and ask them to play your song. 2. )Make the bank valid. A likely cause for your 'banks not loading' is that you, or some else?, have changed the SCSI ID on your ZIP disk since you created the bank. Just changing it back would then make it work. Since you have a Mac and have the program EPSm, you can see exactly why your 'bank is not loading', since you see the file reference information contained in the bank. As you know the bank contains information on which instruments and song to load. Those are the file references. Those references contain a)the SCSI ID,b)the Disk Label and c) the hierarcical key. Here a) and b) will tell which disk the instrument is on and c) tells where on the disk the instrument is by specifying the directory. You can change the disk-label of the file reference in the bank by EPSm or you can change the disk-label of your ZIP. Similarly for the SCSI ID. If you at some time want to change the SCSI ID of your ZIP, perhaps because you want to add a second ZIP or some other SCSI device, then all your banks are left invalid, but you can change all of them in one operation in EPSm and thus make them valid.

The scenario was this: The ROM 44khz delay and reverb both crackled whenever I used them. Pat Finnigan of the Transoniq Hacker advised me that it was a sign that the output board was about to go and that I should have it fixed by the Malvern pros. Well, before shipping it off I loaded in a newer O.S. version (3.5.3.) to see if it would make a difference. It _seems_ to have corrected the problem. I think that I was using version 2, or something like that, beforehand to save space on my hard drive. Does anyone know if the older O.S. would result in the 44khz snap-crackle-pop I experienced? I no longer get the "ssszzzzzwwWWAAAHHH" sound whenever I switch into the 44KHZ effects. Anyhow, I'm hoping that someone can confirm my optimistic hypothesis that the newer O.S. is saving me from shipping my baby off to the big bad Ensoniq doctors.

Terje is quite correct. Banks simply hold a "fully-qualified path" to where the sound was loaded from, e.g. SCSI 5:\DISK000{disklabel}\{dir}1\{dir}5\{file}32 Ironically, somebody recently mentioned that the 16-Plus and EPS-type banks are unable to store over 5-6 directory levels - yep, that's correct. The apparant reason is that Ensoniq only put 5-6 bytes of space for the sub-dir levels - this was changed with the ASR bank type, which I believe can hold up to 18 levels.

I have had the same problem but since as of late all I needed was a MIDI controller keyboard, my EPS has been just fine for that. The sequencer works fine, too, but there is no "click out" from that either. Just no sound no way no how. By the way, for a few months before all sound ceased, the keyboard would need to "warm up" for a few minutes before the volume came up to normal--which was low to begin with.

It seems that we have the smae problem. I guess it's time for the repair shop. Unless somebody has a DIY??? !!!! (hint, hint!!!) Thanks!!

If you sign, please forward it on to others (not back to me). If not, please don't kill = it; send it to the e-mail address listed here: wein2688@blue.univnorthco.edu PBS, NPR (National Public Radio), and the arts are facing major cutbacks in funding. In spite of the efforts of each station to reduce spending costs and streamline their services, some government officials believe that the funding currently going to these programs is too large a porti= on of funding for something which is seen as "unworthwhile". Currently, taxes from the general public for PBS equal $1.12 per person per year, and the National Endowment for the Arts equals $.64 a year in total. A January 1995 CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll indicated that 76% of Americans wish to keep funding for PBS, third only to national defense and law enforcement as the most valuable programs for federal funding. Each year, the Senate and House Appropriations committees each have 13 subcommittees with jurisdiction over many programs and agencies. Each subcommittee passes its own appropriation bill. The goal each year is to have each bill signed by the beginning of the fiscal year, which is October 1. The only way that our representatives can be aware of the base of support for PBS and funding for these types of programs is by making our voices heard. Please add your name to this list and forward it to friends if you believe in what we stand for. This list will be forwarded to the Presi= dent of the United States, the Vice President of the United States, and Representative Newt Gingrich, who is the instigator of the action to = cut funding to these worthwhile programs. If you happen to be a 350th, 400th, 450th etc. signer of this petition, please forward a copy to: wein2688@blue.univnorthco.edu. If that address is inoperative, please send it to: kubi7975@blue.univnorthco.edu. This way we can keep track of the lists, collate and organize them. Forward this to everyone you know, and help us to keep these programs alive. To keep the list clean looking, please cut this message and paste into your own new message. That way, we can avoid the ">>>" that lengthen the lines every time someone quotes the message.

You will have to work around it by canging the ID's of you other devices. BTW The CD rom drive will perform equally well on any ID # (as long as it is not #3) but you might like to consider setting the CD rom to ID #4 because all the Ensoniq CD's that have demo banks on them are set to ID #4.

Sorry to bore you. thanx. OK, Each Instrument on the ASR10 is automagically set to a different MIDI channel cossecutively at power up (i.e. Inst.1 = MIDI Channel 1, Inst.2 = MIDI 2, etc.) You have two choices. You can set your pads 1-8 to MIDI Channels 1-8 to coordinate w/ the ASR10, or you can set the ASR10 Inst. Channels to the MIDI Channels assigned at power-up to your pads. I do not own an MPC, so I can't speak for its configuration, but most likely all the pads are set-ut on one MIDI Channel to trigger different notes (probably on Channel 10 since that is the GM standard for percussion sounds - is that what an MPC2000 does? I am assuming so since this is a question about pads triggers). My advice, get into the MIDI parameter settings of the MPC and set each pad to a different MIDI channel, coresponding with the ASR10 Inst. 1-8. This parameter should be somewhere in either a SYSTEM or a MIDI menu, under TRANSMIT or SEND CHANNEL. If you have the MPC manual, look for any info on using the MPC to trigger MIDI devices.

HI folks, I've been trying to get on Iomega's web page for several days now, but to no avail. I don't know if my slow computer or what. has anyone else had this problem? I somehow lost the first installation disk for the Iomega zip drive, I think it was called 'zip tools'. I didn't use it much until I finally got Rubberchickens latest version of 'EPS/ASR tools' for windows to finally work with my setup. anyway, I don't want to go too far off of the original subject; The zip drive keeps locking up my computer( Aptiva 166}. I 'm able to see what's on the drive but if I try to run a program from it, it locks up. After reading the scares trouble shooting pages I did see that adding the DOS driver into windows could mess things up thus that's what led me to the search for the current windows driver for that unit. any suggestions would be very much appreciated Thanx, Pete Davis, wanna be musician peterlyn@msn.com ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

In order to find what you are looking for fast that way, other people must have choosen the subject line with that in mind. I thus changed yours. To create a macro Navigate to the file you want to assign the macro to, Then press [Load] and hold that button Then "dial" a number between 1 and 27, this is the Macro Number Press [Enter/Yes] Then lift your finger (or toe?) holding the [Load] button To invoke a macro Press [Load] and hold it Then enter the Macro number - 0 to 27 - by the number pad, Then lift your finger holding the [Load] button. You can save all your macros to disk and also load them into memory again. Macro 0 can not be created, but can be invoked. Macro 0 always points to the location where the macro was saved/loaded from. You can set macro 1 to whatever you like, but many people like to resrve it for taking them quickly to the floppy disk. You can invoke these macros by program changes from an external Midi device. Midi program 101 to 127 will invoke macro 1 to 27. Macro 0 can not be invoked by Midi. >I would really like to be able to load a bank on startup, is >that possible? No, it's not possible on the ASR-10/EPS16+/EPS-CL Though I learned last week on this list that the TS10/12 actually can do that. I like to have the macros I need at entry number 5 in the root directory, because that is where the system will wait at startup, I then just have to hit [enter] for the macros to load at startup. I then invoke a Macro to load a bank of midi instruments. Then my system is ready to load all further instruments by beeing fed program changes from a computer. A few easy to remeber button pushes is the closest you can get auto loading at startup, you could writethat sequence down close to the power-on button if your setup sees longer periods without use or your brain memory is volatile.

First, I know nothing about the ASR, but this is just a guess... I have no idea about the ASR, but I suspect it reads HD-disks at 1440k, = right? So.. Same problem here maybe as when formatting eps-disks on your pc? What I'm saying is that the ASR might be expecting 1.44MB disks if the = disk has 2 holes in it. And the EPS doesn't care about that since it only handles 720k disks... Try putting some tape over the hole (not the write-protect hole, the = other one) and see if it helps. /Peter Peter M=F6rck ime95psa@student1.lth.se ie9595@malmo.lth.se http://www.student1.lu.se/~peter_s/index.htm ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

At least DX7 data is compatible with DX7-II, the problem is that cartridge are not same size... There were (are ?), though, some physical adapters interfacing old DX7 cartridges with DX7-II slots.

One way to make samples sound "fat" is to = layer them. I don't know how much you're into samplers, but it means you play more = than 1 sample when you press a key. So.. If you've got a 5 note chord with 3 layers you use up 15 of your 20 = voices..=20 Take a look at the instruments and try editing them and disable some = keydown-layers in the edit instrument page unless it changes the sound too much. And you mentioned .mid-files... They are (as far as I know) General Midi = format files. You should be able to import them in Cakewalk. You might have to change playback device from the = soundcards internal synthesizer (Yamaha OPL or AWE-32 or whatever) to Midi-Out. Of course this means = that you will have to load appropriate samples in your EPS if you want it to play what's coming out from your = sequencer program. If you were implying "record .mid-files to the EPS sequencer", then I'm = not sure how to do it. I think the EPS should be capable of recording incoming MIDI as well as keypresses, but = you will have to mess around a bit to make it work.. For example you need to set the EPS MIDI clock to = external (not internal as default) and probably you can only record one track at a time. So you would need to = mute all other tracks but the one you're recording at the moment on your sequencer. Experiment and try changing = everything until it works :) It's the best way of learning... Hope this helps a little. /Peter Peter M=F6rck ime95psa@student1.lth.se ie9595@malmo.lth.se http://www.student1.lu.se/~peter_s/index.htm ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I don't have an answer for your question but I do have a system for managing multiple macrofiles on one large volume. What I do is make the first macrofile...then use the first 27 locations and then make macro 28 take me to my next macrofile. I can just load it and go on using the new file. macro#28 of this file would idealy take me back to my first macrofile. You can use this system to manage as many macrofiles as you may have on a large hard drive. I have never had the need to use more than 2 macrofiles. If I did though, I might think about making more than macro#28 of each file a pointer to the next macrofile. If I had 3 macrofiles I might reserve 26, 27, &28 of each macrofile to get me to ANY other macrofile. Hope i'm making sense. I like the way the CD's have that four digit direct dial system....four keystrokes to get you anywhere on the disk. With my system it might take you up to 5 or 6 keystrokes....... ==/==/==/==/==/==/==/==/== Paul Najar Jaminajar Production Composition Arrangement Performance 61 2 93607234 (fax) 61 2 93601985 ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Yeah, we know about this one - unfortunately, the only fix is to hack the 16-Plus OS itself and fix the problem, which is virtually impossible at this point to do without help from Ensoniq, which in itself is virtually impossible. Even Steve Berkley of PEAK, who knows the SCSI of the Ensoniq quite well, has not succeeded in flawless SCSI transfer with all Ensoniq's and all Macs. But we'll keep our ears open for anything that's possible.

You don't say which computer platform or software you have.....but if you use a mac and toast software then the best format to use is "SCSI Copy" format. Basicly it is a blind copy scheme which means you can copy any disk format you may run into. I imagine other software would have this generic copy function also.

Michel wrote.. >Do you (or anybody else) know how some CD-ROMs can have 4 digits macro >numbers? Is it possible to create such macros on other medias and on any >SCSI id# First of all let's appreciate that we have 4 digit Direct Macros for CD ROMs. They are nice. Amen. You can not use 4 digit Direct-Macros(TM) on other media than CD ROMs. The CD ROM can be on any SCSI ID (exept 3) for the Direct Macros to work. Only one single CD ROM can be acesssed. This is not the law, but my understanding. Just in case... The 4 digit "direct dialing" you can do with a CD-ROM is a somewhat different thing than the the macros you create yourself. It may be best to regard them as separate things when you organize things mentally in your huge brain. They are however invoked in a similar manner and serve similar purposes. It is still a good idea to not mix them up - similarly to that it is a good idea to don't mix up appointments when dating two different girls. ( I know all about you French guys from movies :) 4 digit Direct-Macros(TM) are built into the OS and are sort of always in a standby mode. You do not load any file from the CD ROM in order to direct dial. The CD ROM itself should of coarse be organized in a way to make most out of the 4 digit direct dial ability, -something to consider when you burn your own CDs. My way of logically rationalize the behavior of 4 digit Direct Macros is...The ASR/EPS16+ will decide whether there is a CD ROM connected at bootup, The Direct-Macro(TM) 4 digit code will navigate on that device. You can test that for yourself. You can not easily "trick" the OS to think another device kind is a CD ROM. The operation behaves as if the OS checks what kind of device the unit is before every access. It is the controller built into the CD ROM that tells what kind of device it is. Perhaps an interesting point is whether any of the new rewritable CD ROMS will work as a CD ROM or Hard disk or at all on the Ensoniq machines. Oh, regarding your title, There are actually 29 Macro locations that can be invoked from the number pads on the ASR, there is only 28 you can define from the front panel and there is only 27 you can acess through Midi. Paul Najar told he used two sets of macros. That is 58 different macros. I'm impressed. I only use 3 macros I define byself, but have difficulties remembering which is wich, so I make several numbers with identical content:) Now I mostly load instruments by the computer. It is less to remember. Ha det Terje ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I have just taken delivery of the Ricoh CD-RW drive that can use the rewritable media. One thing I did not know about this format is that you can't erase selected parts of the disk. If you want to erase it you have to wipe the whole disk :-( All the same it has been a great device so far with no problems.

I have an ASR10-R. I am having difficulty integrating it into my midi setup. I am using Opcode Vision software, a Kurz PC88 controller, and assorted tone modules. The rest of my setup works appropriately. I have tried getting help from Ensoniq tech support.. but after much waiting, I gave up with this route. I was excited to discover this mailing list. Here are my questions: (1) The ASR-10 sounds whenever I play the PC88. For example, it plays while I am recording a PC88 instrument track within Vision. The ASR-10 does not, however, play when I play back a sequenced PC88 track. How can I correct this? (2) How do I configure Vision and Galaxy to work optimally with the ASR-10? I could use some concrete help setting this up. Does this info exist in written form, perhaps in an archive of this group? I would gladly shine the shoes of the person who can help me with this. Thanks in advance for your help.

Many CD-ROM drives in use today can't read ReWritable CDs (CD-RW). You should test a CD-RW disc with the target drive before purchasing the drive. However, you can use the CD-RW drive to burn a CD-R disc which any CD-ROM drive can read. (The CD-R discs are currently selling for less than $4 compared to $20 or more for a CD-RW disc).

This may be known to most of you, but anyway: This weekend i made a discovery, that makes life easier for me. I have both an ASR and the EPS 16+, and thought that the EPS no way could play samples made on the ASR. However i loaded an EPS instrument into the ASR and copied a stretched breakbeat into the EPS instrument, then saved to the floppy, took the floppy over to the EPS. And what do you know: The EPS sees the instrument AND plays the stretched sample. and no error messages even after many hours of tweaking and sequencing. Normally the EPS will not recognise ASR instruments at all, i believe. It seems that if the instrument/file is originally made on the EPS, the ASR will not change the file format when saving. Now, theres a question related to this: Am i running a risk that the EPS will hang during a live performance because of having "unlegal" formats loaded into it? Im doing quite a bit on the live front, and dont want an error 144 during the show. anyone with a view?

I am working now with an ASR-X for a while and I also have an EPS-16+ so here are my experiences: hardware expansions: - installed a 32MB SIMM in the ASR-X, no problem works fine. - installed the SCSI interface: it can read ASR-10 cdroms and akai. I tried to read plain iso cdroms with .wav sample, does not work, strange because it can read MS-DOS formatted hard drives. - installed the 8x output expander. works fine, I now have 10 outputs. effects: the effects of the asr-x are great. btw they are exactly the same as the mr-rack effects. the whole structure of the instruments resemles very much the mr-rack. it also only possible to edit the instruments via midi, like in the mr-rack. the only difference is that for the mr-rack there is an editor freely available from motu, but for the asr-x they did not yet reply on my e-mail. controllers: when you have a gs-instrument like a sound canvas you know what you can do with midi controllers. like setting cutoff frequency, resonance attack etc. the asr-x understands most of them. editing: very limited without sys-ex software. conclusion: the asr-x compares to the the asr-10 like the mr-rack compares to the ts-10. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Renaissance or baroque instruments, such as Viol (Gamba) would also be great. I'm not interested in cheap little sounds (unless of course they sound good). Its OK if one instrument takes up 15 or 16 MB or more. I have a catalog with some sampling CDs (AKAI and Roland format) that might be what I'm looking for. I have an Ensoniq ASR-88 that can import AKAI and Roland, although I am considering adding a K2500 or AKAI-S2000 at some point. Peter Siedlaczek's Advanced Orchestra Library looks pretty good, although I'm not as interested in prerecorded trills and scales as I am in just some good expressive solo instruments (if such a thing is possible at all). The Miroslav Vitous Orchestra might also be good, but the price is even more outrageous than Peter Siedlaczek's. Any comments?

You currently have less than 2 meg. The largest memory expander is the 4X, which gives you 2 meg. You'll have to look for a used expander - I doubt that any commercial vendor (including Ensoniq) carries them anymore.

I think the 2Meg expansion is the max one.. The EPS has 512k unexpanded, and the 4x-expander adds 2Megs, right?

Just keep in mind,though,that : - - The EPS-16+ does only what it can with ASR's effects parameters (EPS classic doesn't have any effect...). - - On EPS, filters range from 0 to 127 (on ASR, 0 to 150). This might sometimes induce slight mistranslatings. - - A few other minor differences may appear. I noticed for instance that the Pan=3DRandom setting is not implemented on the ASR : pan is instead controlled by the Noise modulator, so in order to get the same effect (a steady new pan setting for each note), you'll have to manually set the Noise Rate to zero. Otherwise notes will be panned on while they are sustained - not only at each triggering. I'd be interested to know if anyone experimented other such differences when reading ASR instruments on EPS and vice-versa. Thanks !

Here's that same page reprinted, hopefully it is clearer and makes more sense. Electronic Solution to apply Termination Power to a ZipDrive - 16-Plus chain Connect a Schottky diode (a 16A power one, coz that's all I had) from the +5v supply line on the SP-2 board to the appropriate pin of the 26 way connector on that board. Please use a Schottky diode because of the low voltage drop. The term power line on the SP-2 board goes straight into a capacitor on the top of the board, as does the +5v line, so wire the diode between the appropriate legs of each of these capacitors - which are separated by about half an inch. The only reason for using a diode at all is to prevent some other peripheral, which does supply termpower, from potentially becoming the +5v power supply for my EPS16+! (which would probably exceed its current capability). The diode only lets current flow in one direction, from the EPS's +5v power supply _into_ the termpower line, but it will not let current from an external source flow back into the EPS's power supply, which, of course, feeds much of the other circuitry in the EPS. Concerning the Schottky diode; there are several types of diodes. The most common, nowadays, is the silicon diode (in its various forms), and when current flows though this, a voltage drop of about 0.7 volt (or more) appears across the diode - a true 5v supply would only put 4.3v (or less) on the termpower line, which would not be ideal since it is specified to have +5v (I don't recall the specified tolerance, but it's probably smaller than +/- 0.7v). There are some other types of diode which perform the same function but give a considerably smaller voltage drop, and the Schottky diode is one of them. This uses a metal/semiconductor junction rather than the p-semiconductor/n-semiconductor junction of the normal silicon diode, and achieves a voltage drop of about 0.2v (or less). In my case, I will probably never connect another peripheral to the SCSI port, so I could have just used a wire, but it seemed like a reasonable safety precaution (I have read that others have put a low-current fuse in series with the diode in applications like this, which is another reasonable safety precaution - but I didn't bother). A Zip drive won't format a disc until you apply termpower. Before I committed myself to the modification with the diode, I really did apply external termpower, using a pair of 50-way Centronics (i.e. SCSI I) connectors connected back-to-back by a short 50-way ribbon cable. With this arrangement, I was able to tap into the termpower line (pin 26 on the 50-way) and one of the many ground lines (I needed to rig this up for another problem I was trying to solve, which is the use of the ICD 'Link II' SCSI interface for the Atari ST computer with a Zip drive - similar problem; lack of termpower from the drive). I found that applying +5v to the termpower line sorted out the problem with formatting, and since then I haven't looked back! I don't know if the EPS is happy to save and load files to the Zip without the termpower - but I guess I could find out if that was important.

The two "majors" are the BOOST and the LAYER DELAY. Both have the most adverse effect when it comes to sound, With BOOST, look through and increase the WS Volumes up to 99 for the WS that seem low in volume. In case of LAYER DELAY, not much you can do.

Well, in fact the ASR just comes back from the french distributor's workshop, which diagnosed weak connexions of the OTTO chip (the main DSP, I believe). They said this could be caused by heat (although I have also a much older - and of course overheating - ASR-r that works OK...). They finally replaced that OTTO chip.

Hi Marshal, I haven't looked recently to see what the current crop of SCSI cards = are but if your only purpose is to connect your PC to a Zip and/or CD-ROM then to an ASR10, a simple SCSI-I card will do the trick (I use a Zip Zoom card which is basically an Adaptec 1502). You should be able to find something like an Adaptec 1505 for somewhere around $55US (I think they sell for around $80 CAD). It all boils down to what you plan on doing with your SCSI setup. =20 If memory serves me correctly, the bus throughput for each type of SCSI chain goes as follows: SCSI-I and SCSI-II --> 5MB/s=20 SCSI-II-Fast --> 10MB/s SCSI-II-Fast-Wide --> 20MB/s SCSI-II-Ultra (SCSI-III) --> 40MB/s The throughput is based on the total data transfer of the bus (over 7 devices) per second (ie just because you have SCSI-III you won't magically get 40MB/s out of your costly SCSI-III hard drive!) The connectors are all different between the "generations". SCSI uses either a typical DB-25 (eg ASR) connector or a 50-pin centronics end. SCSI-II, SCSI-II Fast and SCSI-II Fast/Wide use a mini 50pin connector and SCSI-III uses a very expensive connector (can't remember # of = pins). You will also find options such as bus mastering, bios on board (so you can boot from SCSI) and various other things to assist with throughput and offload tasks to the SCSI card as opposed to the o/s. Windows NT really shines from SCSI due to its true multitasking capabilities as opposed to Windows 95's co-operative style multitasking where EIDE or UIDE will suffice. Note: if anyone spots an error in my explanation, please feel free to correct me! I'm not a SCSI guru by any means. This is just my current understanding of the situation. For a more thorough (and likely accurate) description of SCSI and all the differences, there is an excellent SCSI FAQ than can be found on = the net which explains all this stuff. I can't remember the URL but typing "SCSI FAQ" into AltaVista or otherwise should point you to the right direction. Good luck! p.s. if you need any help just let me know as I've got my SCSI setup working excellent. Just remember to tell Windows to ignore your SCSI card when you plan on using SCSI devices on your ASR. Windows tends to be greedy about anything it sees. Alternatively, you could use a SCSI switch box (Transoniq Hacker a few months ago published a "how to" on this) to handle connections but I haven't found a need for such a device. - -- Jason M.

I have SCSI and EPSm and I still move data between the ASR and mac on floppies. Having the ASR and mac on the same SCSI bus is wobbly at best. Most others I imagine, will support this opinion. But don't be discouraged. I recommend you use SCSI for many other reasons. Have a hard drive for your ASR library puts the whole creative process of using your sampler into a new realm. For the first time it becomes possible (from a time point of view) to audition many sample instruments because of how fast the samples load. If you had to do the same with floppies the time it would take makes this style of auditioning not worth doing. This is a major advantage of having SCSI and hard drive. Also I found that whenI first got SCSI on my original EPS and arranged all my floppies into hard drive directories all of a sudden I KNEW what was in my library rather than fumbling through a box of floppies. Hope this helps. ==/==/==/==/==/==/==/==/== Paul Najar Jaminajar Production Composition Arrangement Performance 61 2 93607234 (fax) 61 2 93601985 ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

The latter. It makes new samples. The net result is the same, BUT you won't have a version of the WHOLE LOOP like you would doing a parameter copy and setting start stop regions by hand on the ASR.

Here, here no doubt. The ASR becomes a new instrument with SCSI. The two points that Paul talks about are absolutely true. I mean a sound you can't get to is a non sound. Also having sounds organized and filed will mean you won't quickly settle for a sound since you'll be able to audition until you find DA ONE> 240 sounds like a good deal. You'll probably have a few set up headaches in the beginning and getting used to the directory thing will take a few days but by all means Go get it. Nothing else could so dramatically change the way you work.

I have the TS-12 and I have a problem. Is there a way to get more than four (4) audio outputs from the TS-12? I=B4ve heard about some multi-output-connections in other Ensoniq=B4s. Why I want it is because I=B4m playing in a "live-jam-techno-fusion" band with drums and base and other stuff at sequence and a lot of other instruments without sequence. I=B4m mixing the different track-volumes at the TS-12 while we are playing. But we are going to record our music now and I would like to record the tracks separately so I can mixdown the sequence-tracks afterwards too. I=B4ve been thinking about first record each track separately on a harddisk-recorder and then use it as a seqenser/mixer while we are playing instead of the TS-12. Our band must be recorded in a "live" situation and that complicates the record session. But is there a better way? Any ideas? By the way; why does not the TS-12 effect parameters include the combination DDL + VCF??????

I then imported them into EPSM along with the Groove MIDI file that Recycle can create, created the disk and loaded it into the ASR no problem. Of course I had to load each individual sample, copy the wavesamples back to one instrument and map the individuals wavesample along the keyboard to match the MIDI notes with the Groove file. What a chore, but I also became more knowledgeable of my ASR. THIS is what got me thinking I really need a SCSI interface for my ASR. By the way thank you all for the input on benefits of the interface. I will be purchasing it very shortly, actually soon as I hear back on whether that $240 included the installation...

Hey Rick, It's not rocket science but it involves opening the bottom of the keyboard, pulling and replacing a flat cable and screwing in the adaptor itself. It comes with instructions, follow them closely and take it nice and slow. You have to take the standard Static electricity precautions etc. and make sure you have the right tools, (phillips drivers and a scribe) If you're not the tweaker type you should have a authorized ensoniq repair station do it for you.

Our Tools programs can batch process any amount of .WAV or AIFF files into a single or many separate Instrument files (EFE/A's); or a single or many Instrument files on Floppy/SCSI storage device. We consider our Tools programs as the premier method to convert .WAV-AIFF files into Ensoniq format - they allow you to keymap during the process, adjust the Root Key in process (or have it do it automatically), and it is the only PC program that allows you to insert .WAV-AIFF files anywhere within an instrument (build your own files!) Our MIDI-Disk Tools program will transfer a .WAV file through MIDI to an EPS/ASR, but it's so slow it's not what you really want to do. There isn't really a reliable program either in PC or Mac form that can transfer WS back and forth via SCSI on a ASR - perhaps with the 16-Plus Alchemy works better with the Mac. (NOTE: if someone does do this with constant success let us know.) The is no program that transfers full Instruments via SCSI or MIDI, mainly because the Ensoniq protocol makes that very difficult if not impossible. EXTRA NOTE: Our Tools products can read/write/create Audio Track files now, and extensive Effects support is coming. Tools customers may contact us and ask us for a new feature anytime, and chances are we'll put it in within hours or a day.

Now all I have to do is back up my 150 or so floppies that were not created in ASR-computer ;) format... however: When I first ordered the SP-3 (or whatever #) I was quoted a price NEW at about or the same - $240 (I thought this was too good to be true) plus installation. However, my authorized Ensoniq dealer called me a week or so later to inform me that they had an incorrect price list from Ensoniq- $240 was the REPAIR cost! The new unit was actually $349! (same price originally quoted at Sam Ash, who said they weren't an authorized repair center) Lucky for me, they were apologetic about the misunderstanding (even though it was more Ensoniq's fault than theirs) and gave me the installation at no charge (which by the way took about only 45 minutes, I waited for it there). I would have paid it regardless, but it was a nice thing for them to do- unless of course they're supposed to do it for free... but I don't think so. This isn't a huge profit for them, that's the order price from ensoniq for authorized dealers. So anyway I decided to wait on the Output expander, after spending $100 more than expected on the SP-3. All in all, it's still COMPLETELY worth the cost, IMHO, you will be amazed how quickly your samples load... but beware of the outdated price list/misinformed repair center... I don't know- maybe you've got your hands on a used one(?!) Just be aware of the possibility that you might have to come up with some extra dough. I don't know about installing the SP-3 yourself- if you are even able to order one that is. If you still have a warranty then have them do it- or even if you don't- I think you'll have to pay them to remove the interface you installed should you need any repairs later. You may save a few $$ now but you could pay more $$$ later. I'm obviously not an electronics repair expert so I wouldn't take any chances with a $2K sampler anyway.

I use his string, accordion and woodwind samples a lot. Keith's a composer/sound designer who works in theatre here in Canada, and my guess is he's done most of his sampling for his own work, at the Stratford Festival, etc. Samples available from him aren't as inclusive as the orchestral CD ROMS, but they are a hell of a lot cheaper!

Please ignore the errata. Given a proper setup (using MSCDEX and the correct CD Driver for your CD-ROM Drive), the feature works great. We use it with our 3 systems computers here, and if it doesn't work, I must be having illusions. J.D. has an older version of Disk Tools (I believe from this summer), which did not properly implement this feature (the function expired).

Of course, I had to spend a hour with J.D. explaining to him how to work a left-mouse button and a right mouse-button, so you decide. P.S. Disk Tools now supports Audio-Track to .WAV-AIFF file conversion, and now supports Ensoniq-to-Ensoniq transfers. P.P.S. Awave does not suppport Ensoniq disk reading/writing/formatting, but is a handy file conversion utility. It supports more formats than I've seen elsewhere. It's editing is limited, but what is there is done very well. Probably the largest editing program is SoundForge - but that does not work directly in any way with the EPS/ASR.

You may also have a look at Rubber Chicken's "Medieval & Renaissance" series for a few viol & rebec interesting samples. The problem with most "luxury" classical instrument CD-ROM sounds, is that even if you could have 128 M RAM, you still could not PLAY live strings or woodwinds or whatever. I've always had much better and conveincing results with well programmed short instrument for the EPS, than with huge "high-resulution" but dead files of samples for anonymous samplers.

If I buy a SCSI interface for my EPS16+, will it be SCSI - 1 or SCSI = - - 2=20 or....?

If I want to connect a hard disk (1.2gb or bigger) a CD - Rom drive, = and=20 maybe a ZIP drive at some point, do I have to worry about terminators = etc.

Are there any makes of drives that don't work with the EPS ?

If I add a SCSI card to the PC, can the PC and EPS share the same=20 peripherals, i.e use the ZIP drive or CD - Rom for the PC as well as the = EPS ?=20

Finally, I am in England, so does anyone know if I can get hold of a = SCSI=20 interface here ?

I would really appreciate any help on this, thanks in advance

Do you need venture capital to get you there? Are you frustrated with your bank turning you down for the capital your business needs to grow? Be frustrated no more. Zion Worldwide can put you in touch with hundreds of offshore investors waiting to invest in a viable business just like yours. What Is An Offshore Investor? An offshore investor may be an offshore bank or a group of offshore lenders looking to invest in and to lend money to viable business enterprises both in the United States and elsewhere around the world. Why Not My Own Bank? U.S. federal banking law permits American banks to tie up a lot of their money in overhead expenses and advertising costs. Which means that American banks have less money to lend out to their customers (the ones who gave the banks their money in the first place!). Offshore banks, on the other hand, are required by offshore banking rules and regulations to lend more of their customer's money to, you guessed it, their customers. And groups of offshore lenders (often referred to as 'conglomerates'), are not necessarily restricted to the number or type of businesses that they can invest in, as long as these businesses are viable and show potential for future growth and profit. How Do I Take Advantage Of These Offshore Lending Opportunities? Zion Worldwide works with literally dozens and dozens of offshore banks and conglomerates across the world to put American businesses in touch with reputable offshore lenders. By submitting an offshore loan application to Zion Worldwide, your businesss automatically becomes eligible for the following types of offshore funding: Venture Capital Loans, Signature Loans, Equipment Leasing, Cash Grants, Self Liquidating Loans and a $25,000 Line of Offshore Credit, as well as offshore corporate credit cards. How Do I Apply And How Much Does It Cost? To apply simply write to: Zion Worldwide 5015 W. Sahara Ave., Suite 125, Las Vegas, NV, 89102. ..and ask for an offshore loan application. There is a non-refundable application fee of $200US payable to Zion Worldwide via money order, cashier's check, Visa or Mastercard. Why The $200 Fee? When you make application for offshore lending opportunities, Zion Worldwide literally sends your company's loan application to several major funding institutions around the globe. The $200US application fee assists our organization to cover the costs of shipping your loan application documents around the world. How Does Zion Worldwide Make Its Money? When your company's loan application arrives back to our office, Zion Worldwide receives a brokerage fee from our offshore lenders for finding them viable businesses to invest in. Can I Apply? Any viable business in the US or abroad may make application to Zion Worldwide in order to receive serious consideration from Zion's offshore lenders. Is It Hard To Apply? Absolutely not. Simply prepare to provide your company's past earnings as well as future earnings potential, as well as some documented business plan and, of course, some basic business details (e.g. your company's name, address, phone, fax etc.) and you're set. In fact, we want you to succeed in securing your loan, because when you succeed, we succeed. Why Is Zion Worldwide Located In Las Vegas? Nevada is America's last haven for judgment proof corporations (better than Delaware, better than Wyoming). Zion Worldwide strives to take full advantage of all of the incorporation benefits that the State of Nevada provides. What's The Catch? Sometimes interest rates on offshore loans are higher than interests rates on similar loans in the United States. However, apply for an offshore loan, then immediately turn around and expand your business with it, and of course, enjoy the increased profits your business generates, repay your offshore loan early, and the interest charged to you on your offshore loan will total no more than the interest on a loan you can (or can't) get in the US. AnyThing Else? Nope, except 'Apply Today' ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I don't even want to think about what would happen if you didn't use them. Luckily, terminators aren't much of a pain and they're easy to use. You will need to worry about terminators no matter what. This is an important fact. No matter if you have 2 devices (ie, EPS and hard disk) or up to the max (ie, eps, cd rom, 3 hard drives, ZIP, etc)..

It is my belief that you can share the devices on the chain, ie, the ZIP drive, but the EPS will only recognize it if it contains EPS-formatted media. Likewise, the PC will not recognize the ZIP media if it is not formatted for the PC. The only exception to this rule is any specially-written software for the PC that will read and write SCSI devices on a PC. >Finally, I am in England, so does anyone know if I can get hold of a = >SCSI interface here ?=20 A SCSI interface for an EPS, or a SCSI interface for a PC?

You always have to terminate the two ends of a SCSI chain.  Most peripherals have optional terminator settings, including Zip drives and most hard drives.  However, many older hard drives used terminators which you manually inserted - if so, and you buy a used drive, make sure it still has the terminators.  The EPS SCSI adapter always terminates it's end of the line, you don't need to worry about that.

No, the EPS16+ and the ASR10 use what appears to be SCSI-I. I've done traces on this bus, and they do some odd things (no retry on drive not ready for example).

Sorry. Forgive me, but how can the older "EPS use[s] SCSI II" and the newer EPS 16+ doesn't? What the first line a quote from a different message or did I miss something? Anyway, this is where I base my statement: When I called Ensoniq, years ago when I purchased the EPS 16+ Turbo, they told me I need to use a SCSI II drive with the EPS 16+ Turbo, so that's what I bought and that's what I use to this day. I much rather have purchased a SCSI I drive since they were hundreds of dollars cheaper then the SCSI II drives back then. But, the fact is I had the option of purchasing a SCSI II drive, so they *were* in production at the time I bought my EPS 16+ Turbo. I bought it new from the store, within a few months of Ensoniq's annoucement of the EPS 16+. I can't say that the EPS 16+ takes advantage of the SCSI II instruction set, but I went by Ensoniq's word. BTW- I called Ensoniq's techinical support directly. I didn't get this information the local dealer because the dealer was clueless. Anyhow, take it for whatever it's worth. At a minimum a SCSI I drive will work whether the EPS 16+ is SCSI I or SCSI II. Other than that, I'm bowing out of the SCSI discussion. I think all the questions were answered sufficiently. - --James +===================================================================+ | james@dpc.net http://www.soundcentral.com/~james | +===================================================================+ | Senior Software Architect Multi-Ad Services | +===================================================================+ | Webmaster of SoundCentral http://www.soundcentral.com | | webmaster@soundcentral.com | +===================================================================+ | Part of the webmaster team of dpc.net | | webmaster@dpc.net http://www.dpc.net | +===================================================================+ ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I also thought that the different SCSI types used different connectors ? It's not as confusing as it seems. If you really need all this broken down for you check out the SCSI FAQ which you should be able to find on the Net (try AltaVista with keywords SCSI FAQ). As for the SCSI 1 and SCSI 2, My ASR has a SCSI 1 (DB25 connector) interface. This feeds into my Mediavision Reno CD-ROM which has a SCSI 2 (50 pin mini-connector) interface. These are connected via a SCSI 1 <--> SCSI 2 cable. My Reno then feeds into my Zip (SCSI 1; DB25 connector) drive using another SCSI 1 <--> SCSI 2 cable. From here, my Zip is connected to my Zip Zoom SCSI 1 card in my PC using a simple DB25 (ie shielded printer cable) cable. This setup works great. Basically, the differences between SCSI 1 and SCSI 2 are only the connector. Both handle up to 5MB/s on the bus.

If I am incorrect here, please let me >(and the list) know! Jason is right - also remember that SCSI-II is technically downward compatible with SCSI-I, so many SCSI-II drives will work with the SCSI-I compatible EPS's. I believe the ASR only uses the SCSI-I instruction set as well. The ASR-X uses the "SCSI-II" connector (that's an awful way to describe it - -what it really is is a DB-50 SCSI connector), and I believe it uses the SCSI-II instruction set. At least that's what it describes in the manual. If a SCSI-II drive does not work, it's probably for other reasons besides the instruction set. For, for reference, the ASR-X is very versatile in SCSI - I think Ensoniq got wise to all the prior SCSI problems there were. The is a SCSI reset command. So now we hope that it can do SCSI transfer of wavesamples properly. RCS New Products: - ------------------------------------------------------ "The Demo's" CD-ROM by Pelle Piano! $59.95!

All you do is use the "SCSI Copy" mode. This is the "track by track" copy function. The CD that is burnt using this method will be read by the ASR with a CD Rom drive connected. Ive done several of these. They work fine, but don't forget that CD drives are much slower than a hard drive so load times are slower. ==/==/==/==/==/==/==/==/== Paul Najar Jaminajar Production Composition Arrangement Performance 61 2 93607234 (fax) 61 2 93601985 ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I currently have 2 - 300 meg CD ROMs on the market. http://www.midimark.com - self promo! You must make a Hard Drive that is formatted by the asr-10 and save all of your sounds onto it. It is recommended by Ensoniq to use Scsi ID#4 when making your master drive. This is because it is an industry standard for folks to have their CD ROM drives set to ID #4 and that way, all of the CD's will work the same. Do not use scsi id#3, it is reserved for ensoniq product communication. The 4 digit code commands that are in the MACRO file (#5 on the root directory) cause the 4 digit codes to access the appropriate sounds. Also, banks will not load correctly if you/ve saved a bank file with a different SCSI ID then the CD-ROM drives SCSI ID that you are using. The bank file looks for the original drive scsi ID# when locating sounds. When a bankfile is saved, the file path is saved all the way back to it's scsi ID#. BTW, if you don't know about the 4 digit codes, this allows you to access any sound off the CD-ROM by simply holding the load button down, typing the four digit code, releasing the load button, and the sound pops up in the window. The first number takes you to the corresponding root directory, the second digit takes into the proper sub-directory, and the last two digits takes you to the corresponding instrument or file. This saves you time to go through many file folders from the root directory. Once you have your master hard drive ready and complete, you can simply make a copy of the drive from your CD Burner in a direct scsi copy on the CD ROM disk. Now, the CD ROM disk, is an exact copy of your drive. So plan ahead, make sure it is all correct before burning. If you/ve never used a CD-ROM drive before, I suggest buying a disk from a reputable company and seeing what they did before attempting to make your own! ******************************** * * * new product dec 1st 1997 * * vocal bytes vol. 3 * * * ******************************** Good luck, have fun, I know I did! http://www.midimark.com ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

That way, your user macros are automatically in the machines without you having to load the MacroFile automatically. Most CD-ROM's don't have the OS on it, so it is moot. BTW, I agree, it is not a good idea to have the OS on a CD-ROM. I thought at first that it would be advantageous, since if one only has a CD-ROM drive hook up, especially to a 16-Plus, the OS boot up would be that much faster. But there's more problems that are created. 1) If you have the 16-Plus OS on CD, and you are using an ASR, it can cause various problems - one being the ASR will never boot off a SCSI drive if that CD is in your CD-ROM Drive. 2) What if the OS becomes upgraded? 3) What if you want to change the Global Parameters? 4) It introduces a bug in the Diret Macros (it's hard to notice) 5) My gosh, it takes up 150-350 blocks!

The file does not have to be named MACROFILE 1 in order for it to load automatically at boot time, it simply has to be file #5 in the root directory. On both my EPS Classic and EPS 16+, my macrofiles were named "TODDS EPS" or something like that-kind of need to see a personalized message come up each time at startup. I cannot, however, verify it this applies with the ASR, but I would assume so. CU L8R... - -------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Todd A.

I dont use recycle but I chop loops into 16 peices (each a 16th note long) and then I can play a pattern of 16th notes into the sequencer, one note for each sample. If your loop is not cut into exact 16th notes you should still be able to 'play' it by hand, just triggering one note after the other. You can sequence that and then quantize or what ever to make it fit.

Do you need venture capital to get you there? Are you frustrated with your bank turning you down for the capital your business needs to grow? Be frustrated no more. Zion Worldwide can put you in touch with hundreds of offshore investors waiting to invest in a viable business just like yours. What Is An Offshore Investor? An offshore investor may be an offshore bank or a group of offshore lenders looking to invest in and to lend money to viable business enterprises both in the United States and elsewhere around the world. Why Not My Own Bank? U.S. federal banking law permits American banks to tie up a lot of their money in overhead expenses and advertising costs. Which means that American banks have less money to lend out to their customers (the ones who gave the banks their money in the first place!). Offshore banks, on the other hand, are required by offshore banking rules and regulations to lend more of their customer's money to, you guessed it, their customers. And groups of offshore lenders (often referred to as 'conglomerates'), are not necessarily restricted to the number or type of businesses that they can invest in, as long as these businesses are viable and show potential for future growth and profit. How Do I Take Advantage Of These Offshore Lending Opportunities? Zion Worldwide works with literally dozens and dozens of offshore banks and conglomerates across the world to put American businesses in touch with reputable offshore lenders. By submitting an offshore loan application to Zion Worldwide, your businesss automatically becomes eligible for the following types of offshore funding: Venture Capital Loans, Signature Loans, Equipment Leasing, Cash Grants, Self Liquidating Loans and a $25,000 Line of Offshore Credit, as well as offshore corporate credit cards. How Do I Apply And How Much Does It Cost? To apply simply write to: Zion Worldwide 5015 W. Sahara Ave., Suite 125, Las Vegas, NV, 89102. ..and ask for an offshore loan application. There is a non-refundable application fee of $200US payable to Zion Worldwide via money order, cashier's check, Visa or Mastercard. Why The $200 Fee? When you make application for offshore lending opportunities, Zion Worldwide literally sends your company's loan application to several major funding institutions around the globe. The $200US application fee assists our organization to cover the costs of shipping your loan application documents around the world. How Does Zion Worldwide Make Its Money? When your company's loan application arrives back to our office, Zion Worldwide receives a brokerage fee from our offshore lenders for finding them viable businesses to invest in. Can I Apply? Any viable business in the US or abroad may make application to Zion Worldwide in order to receive serious consideration from Zion's offshore lenders. Is It Hard To Apply? Absolutely not. Simply prepare to provide your company's past earnings as well as future earnings potential, as well as some documented business plan and, of course, some basic business details (e.g. your company's name, address, phone, fax etc.) and you're set. In fact, we want you to succeed in securing your loan, because when you succeed, we succeed. Why Is Zion Worldwide Located In Las Vegas? Nevada is America's last haven for judgment proof corporations (better than Delaware, better than Wyoming). Zion Worldwide strives to take full advantage of all of the incorporation benefits that the State of Nevada provides. What's The Catch? Sometimes interest rates on offshore loans are higher than interests rates on similar loans in the United States. However, apply for an offshore loan, then immediately turn around and expand your business with it, and of course, enjoy the increased profits your business generates, repay your offshore loan early, and the interest charged to you on your offshore loan will total no more than the interest on a loan you can (or can't) get in the US.

A couple of days ago Rubber Chicken posted something about replacing the floppy drive with a Zip. This is very tempting, but several questions arise: - - how is this possible? I suspect the floppy is not connected by SCSI... - - do I need a special kind of drive, or any internal drive will do? - - if I have the drive, can I install it myself? (provided I know how to use a screwdriver :-) I looked all over the RCS site, but didn't found any info on that. But in my searches, I came across another curious thing. In the Hardware Shoppe, it is stated that SyQuest EZ-135 is faster than the Zip, but its price is (quote) "slightly higher". However, this contradicts the prices listed on the same page: Zip-100 - 179.95$, EZ-135 - 159.95$, and the media for both is 19.95$. So, if SyQuest appears to be both faster and better, are there any cons to it? I'm a little worried that it isn't listed in Ensoniq's official SCSI compatibility list (also, Zip's are now everywhere, unlike SyQuest - is there a danger that SyQuest drives become extinct, and the media becomes hard to find?) As a reward for reading (and hopefully answering :-) all these questions, I'd like to share a formula which has made the drum-looping process MUCH easier for me (I like to sequence a drum loop and then sample it). Here it goes: (at the sample rate of 30kHz,) 1 quarter-note = 1785714/bps samples. best regards, Boris (gboris@cs.huji.ac.il) P.S. Oops, I just spotted a typo in the above. Instead of "faster and better" read "faster and cheaper". Well, anyway... ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I recently bought a used ASR-X with 32mb of RAM and an EXP-2 in it. When I booted it up after getting it from UPS... I found all of the memory the seller claimed was in it... but guess what... The EXP-2 card had some sounds which make an annoying sin wave over the actual sample. The sound was awful and indescribable. I thought the machine was broken. Bert Neikirk, at ENSONIQ TECHNICAL SUPPORT told me in e-mail, "If you're using an EXP 1 or 2 expansion board, there are some sounds that are built using waveforms only available when used with an MR product." I called Ensoniq marketing and spoke to Sal Purler (sorry if that's spelled wrong), who, as a part of marketing not only confirmed the lack of total compatibility, but that the EXP-3 was also not fully capable of playing all of it's sounds with the ASR-X architecture. While right now they market bundles containing the EXP-3 Urban Dance Project with no mention of this. I was wondering what the people of this list community would call this type of marketing, when all of the literature that I've looked at states that the ASR-X is "expandable" with the EXP cards. In actuality, it is not "fully expandable". Sure, the physical interface is the same, but I'm paying for the total number of sounds and only getting "most of them" ...

I seem to recall ads that said the EPS had a 16-track sequencer. THAT was false advertising (don't even give me the 8 song tracks + 8 sequence tracks speech). I don't expect any Ensoniq upgrade/add-on to work with anything else unless I've spoken to someone who has actually done it (used it). Sad commentary- but when you hear of massive lay-offs, a mixer that's been promised for close to 2 years now, (and I can go on and on...) it leaves one with little confidence (does'nt it ?). Still - those flashes of brilliance (the ASR_10, and Ensoniq effects units) keep us from abandoning ship.......

The sound was awful and indescribable. I thought > the machine was broken. It's the base Rhodes wave. I think it maybe happens on 15 or so out of hundreds on each expander. For example, if a sound programmed for the MR series uses a jawbone sample, it plays the jawbone. If the ASR-X tries to play that sound, there is no jowbone in the waveset, so it plays a default wave. No, it can't synthesize a jawbone when it needs one. It's what can happen when expanders originally designed for a 12MB ROM set are applied to a 2MB ROM set. > Call 1-800-9SOUNDS.

I have many clients who bring in their ASR 10 disks and I have never had a problem opening them in the K2000. Since .EFE Files are image files, the K2000 won't load it.

You could try out AWAVE at: http://hem.passagen.se/fmj/fmjsoft.html It can export to some Emu and Akai formats but I'm not sure which. The problem is that these companies won't release the information for their sample formats. - --------------------------------- larsli@ifi.uio.no Check out the RA homepage: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/8753/RA.html ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

If no, is this an OS or hardware limitation. Is 2.49 the latest OS? I also have a memory expander which seems to have a connector for a scsi board (socket for about 10 pins). Is there an alternative to the US $150 connector that plugs into this? I'm still looking for an OEX-8 if anyone has one.

Unfortunately, I think the phrase "Computer" is slightly misleading. On the ASR-10, it has two format options, ENSONIQ and COMPUTER. ENSONIQ is the normal 1585/3167 block option. COMPUTER does not use Sector 0 of the volume, and results in slightly less blocks available on the disk. The reason for this is because the poorly-designed (NO FLAMES - I'M JUST KIDDING!) Macintosh cannot read the Sector 0 - so a COMPUTER-formatted Ensoniq volume can be read by a Mac using the "appropriate software" (i.e., EPSm). NOTE: The superbly-designed Wintel computers can access entire Ensoniq volumes with no problem. =) Ensoniq should have named this MAC-COMPATIBLE, not COMPUTER. Even worse, some people think that the COMPUTER option writes an MS-DOS disk format or a Mac disk format on the disk. Not true. Since I'm not really a Mac user, is it really true that a COMPUTER-formatted floppy won't work with a Mac? I would be surprised if it didn't.

Terje, please step up to the platform. =) That's not a flame- its the truth. (about the Ensoniq format and the macs). Macs with EPSm can handle the "computer format" disk Images O.K. According to the honorable Terje- the floppy access ability is hard-coded into the Mac ROM and does not allow the programmer- (even clever ones like the aforementioned) access to the first disk sector (Sector 0). The CHRP (Common Hardware Reference Platform) that is proposed by Motorola would allow the Motorola clone macs to use PC hardware (inexpensive floppy drives etc..) and may alleviate this Ensoniq format obsticle. That is.. IF Steve Jobs does'nt completely KILL the clone licencing... Does anyone here have the 'scoop' on this ??? We will see if Rhapsody (the new Mac O.S.) will help also- but only on powerful Power PC chips (603 & 604 and above I think)- next year or so..... Sure would be nice to see Ensoniq release a new O.S. for the ASR (cause its still currently in production) that allowed the ASR to format a disk to IBM PC format (Does'nt the ASR-X do this already ?)- How big a job do think that would really be ?

Hi, I'm posting to this list for the first time so be gentle. I have an EPS and ASR10 (both rack w/scsi) Both (when COMPUTER formatted) can be read by a Windows Utility called Ensoniq Disk Extractor, and written onto disks as well. I thought this little utility would be well known? It works for Win 3.1x and Win 95 (NT?) and can read/write instruments/banks/sequences/... Taken from the EDE readme: Note: Only Ensoniq disk image files can be converted to diskettes using EDE. Disk Image Files are stored in the Ensoniq Diskette Manager Format. File extensions are assigned according to the type of data contained in the file. The first character of the file extension is always 'E' for Ensoniq files. The middle character is 'D' for disk images and 'F' for individual files. The last character of the file name extension represents the particular product family: A = ASR E = EPS T = TS K = KT S = SQ80 V = VFX-SD Examples: *.EDA ASR Disk Image *.EFA ASR Files *.EDE EPS Disk Image *.EFE EPS Files *.EDS SQ80 Disk Image *.EFQ SQ1/SQ2/KS32 Files *.EDT TS Disk Image *.EFT TS Files *.EDV VFX,SD Disk Image *.EFV VFX, SD1 Files If you wanted to create multiple floppy disks (maybe backups), or different sets of banks, you could use your PC Hard Drive and EDE instead of the front panel of your ASR/EPS.

Do you need venture capital to get you there? Are you frustrated with your bank turning you down for the capital your business needs to grow? Be frustrated no more. Zion Worldwide can put you in touch with hundreds of offshore investors waiting to invest in a viable business just like yours. What Is An Offshore Investor? An offshore investor may be an offshore bank or a group of offshore lenders looking to invest in and to lend money to viable business enterprises both in the United States and elsewhere around the world. Why Not My Own Bank? U.S. federal banking law permits American banks to tie up a lot of their money in overhead expenses and advertising costs. Which means that American banks have less money to lend out to their customers (the ones who gave the banks their money in the first place!). Offshore banks, on the other hand, are required by offshore banking rules and regulations to lend more of their customer's money to, you guessed it, their customers. And groups of offshore lenders (often referred to as 'conglomerates'), are not necessarily restricted to the number or type of businesses that they can invest in, as long as these businesses are viable and show potential for future growth and profit. How Do I Take Advantage Of These Offshore Lending Opportunities? Zion Worldwide works with literally dozens and dozens of offshore banks and conglomerates across the world to put American businesses in touch with reputable offshore lenders. By submitting an offshore loan application to Zion Worldwide, your businesss automatically becomes eligible for the following types of offshore funding: Venture Capital Loans, Signature Loans, Equipment Leasing, Cash Grants, Self Liquidating Loans and a $25,000 Line of Offshore Credit, as well as offshore corporate credit cards. How Do I Apply And How Much Does It Cost? To apply simply write to: Zion Worldwide 5015 W. Sahara Ave., Suite 125, Las Vegas, NV, 89102. ..and ask for an offshore loan application. There is a non-refundable application fee of $200US payable to Zion Worldwide via money order, cashier's check, Visa or Mastercard. Why The $200 Fee? When you make application for offshore lending opportunities, Zion Worldwide literally sends your company's loan application to several major funding institutions around the globe. The $200US application fee assists our organization to cover the costs of shipping your loan application documents around the world. How Does Zion Worldwide Make Its Money? When your company's loan application arrives back to our office, Zion Worldwide receives a brokerage fee from our offshore lenders for finding them viable businesses to invest in. Can I Apply? Any viable business in the US or abroad may make application to Zion Worldwide in order to receive serious consideration from Zion's offshore lenders. Is It Hard To Apply? Absolutely not. Simply prepare to provide your company's past earnings as well as future earnings potential, as well as some documented business plan and, of course, some basic business details (e.g. your company's name, address, phone, fax etc.) and you're set. In fact, we want you to succeed in securing your loan, because when you succeed, we succeed. Why Is Zion Worldwide Located In Las Vegas? Nevada is America's last haven for judgment proof corporations (better than Delaware, better than Wyoming). Zion Worldwide strives to take full advantage of all of the incorporation benefits that the State of Nevada provides. What's The Catch? Sometimes interest rates on offshore loans are higher than interests rates on similar loans in the United States. However, apply for an offshore loan, then immediately turn around and expand your business with it, and of course, enjoy the increased profits your business generates, repay your offshore loan early, and the interest charged to you on your offshore loan will total no more than the interest on a loan you can (or can't) get in the US.

(throw in the price of your favorite cd as well)?? 6. does anyone still make the output expander for the asr?? if not any leads on where i could get one?? 7. i also like a zip option instead of a cd rom (only because it is recordable) but i see that not many people offer sounds on zip carts. am i wrong?? or would this be better as an option to look into AFTER buying a cd rom drive?? 8. if i use my computer cd rom through scsi could i save instruments on my hard drive instead of a zip. (i really DON'T need REMOVABLE storage) 9. how do i access the archives of this list?? thanks alot for your answers comments. my concern is that i drop alot of money and do not get the performance i was expecting. however hopefully with your answers i will get more info on what a scsi system will do for me (and not do for me if that is the case). again thank you and perhaps i may someday be able to provide you with info or on a question problem you may have. donald hugh andes ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Can you boot off of a flashbank, and if so in what order will the system boot (floppy, flashbank, HD; floppy, HD, flash)? Also, I have seen and am in the middle of purchasing a second hand Psion PDA, and the way flashbanks work on it is that once data is stored there, it cannot be erased--well, it can, but you don't regain the space it used up until you reformat the flashbank.

Hey Todd Speer - it's my pet peeve too. "deveds2" is correct - all of us old-timers know that it's almost false advertising to say it has 16 tracks. Ensoniq used to say it when they first released the EPS - ASR keyboards, but now they are more accurate and whisper it every so often. Anyone's definition of tracks means DISCREET tracks - meaning a sovreign track that plays a different sound with it's own seperate information. The EPS/ASR has 8 DISCREET tracks, called SEQUENCE tracks. A Song also can contain sequencing infomation, but it has to correspond to the 8 sounds loaded. So really they aren't seperate DISCREET tracks. One could say that the ASR-10/88 is the most modern professional keyboard that still isn't 16-channel MIDI multi-timbral. The ASR-X clears this up by offering 16 very nice DISCREET trakcs, and is 16-channel multi-timbral as well.

Do you need venture capital to get you there? Are you frustrated with your bank turning you down for the capital your business needs to grow? Be frustrated no more. Zion Worldwide can put you in touch with hundreds of offshore investors waiting to invest in a viable business just like yours. What Is An Offshore Investor? An offshore investor may be an offshore bank or a group of offshore lenders looking to invest in and to lend money to viable business enterprises both in the United States and elsewhere around the world. Why Not My Own Bank? U.S. federal banking law permits American banks to tie up a lot of their money in overhead expenses and advertising costs. Which means that American banks have less money to lend out to their customers (the ones who gave the banks their money in the first place!). Offshore banks, on the other hand, are required by offshore banking rules and regulations to lend more of their customer's money to, you guessed it, their customers. And groups of offshore lenders (often referred to as 'conglomerates'), are not necessarily restricted to the number or type of businesses that they can invest in, as long as these businesses are viable and show potential for future growth and profit. How Do I Take Advantage Of These Offshore Lending Opportunities? Zion Worldwide works with literally dozens and dozens of offshore banks and conglomerates across the world to put American businesses in touch with reputable offshore lenders. By submitting an offshore loan application to Zion Worldwide, your businesss automatically becomes eligible for the following types of offshore funding: Venture Capital Loans, Signature Loans, Equipment Leasing, Cash Grants, Self Liquidating Loans and a $25,000 Line of Offshore Credit, as well as offshore corporate credit cards. How Do I Apply And How Much Does It Cost? To apply simply write to: Zion Worldwide 5015 W. Sahara Ave., Suite 125, Las Vegas, NV, 89102. ..and ask for an offshore loan application. There is a non-refundable application fee of $200US payable to Zion Worldwide via money order, cashier's check, Visa or Mastercard. Why The $200 Fee? When you make application for offshore lending opportunities, Zion Worldwide literally sends your company's loan application to several major funding institutions around the globe. The $200US application fee assists our organization to cover the costs of shipping your loan application documents around the world. How Does Zion Worldwide Make Its Money? When your company's loan application arrives back to our office, Zion Worldwide receives a brokerage fee from our offshore lenders for finding them viable businesses to invest in. Can I Apply? Any viable business in the US or abroad may make application to Zion Worldwide in order to receive serious consideration from Zion's offshore lenders. Is It Hard To Apply? Absolutely not. Simply prepare to provide your company's past earnings as well as future earnings potential, as well as some documented business plan and, of course, some basic business details (e.g. your company's name, address, phone, fax etc.) and you're set. In fact, we want you to succeed in securing your loan, because when you succeed, we succeed. Why Is Zion Worldwide Located In Las Vegas? Nevada is America's last haven for judgment proof corporations (better than Delaware, better than Wyoming). Zion Worldwide strives to take full advantage of all of the incorporation benefits that the State of Nevada provides. What's The Catch? Sometimes interest rates on offshore loans are higher than interests rates on similar loans in the United States. However, apply for an offshore loan, then immediately turn around and expand your business with it, and of course, enjoy the increased profits your business generates, repay your offshore loan early, and the interest charged to you on your offshore loan will total no more than the interest on a loan you can (or can't) get in the US.

This is a tough question. I wouldn't be without my SCSI and CD-ROM access on my ASR. Having said that, I have an Orbit and a Planet Phatt (both derived from the venerable Vintage Keys design and motherboard). Both are fantastic and very useful instruments in their own right. Great synthesis engines, and very good ROM sets. You can get 'em for less than $800 - at least I did. You might want to try calling Sound Deals in Alabama (1800-822-MIDI). I buy a lot of gear there, and they're both fair and knowledgeable. Tell 'em I sent ya. One thing you might want to consider is this: I have observed with increasing regularity that when you load up the ASR with a lot of instruments, and trigger a lot of MIDI stuff multitimbrally, you begin to get some pretty serious log-jams with respect to the timing of the notes. I usually try not to use the ASR with more than about 4-5 things going on at once, especially if one of them is a regular rhythmic componant (like hi hat for instance). If the ASR's too bogged down with MIDI data, those hi hats start coming around with pretty serious timing errors. At work, I've got 2 of 'em for this reason, and because 16 meg just ain't enough. >3. how good is the use of NON ensoniq cd roms?? i know the asr READS roland >and akai samples but do i loose editing capabilities, sound quality, ect.?? Generally, loading samples from one company into another's instrument has some limitations, and sometimes problems (manufacturer's claims to the contrary notwithstanding). There was a big Keyboard article a year or two ago about the specifics of what happens in each company's instruments when you do this - some lose loop points, others don't read the envelopes right (or at all). I can tell you for sure that my ensoniq sounds are almost worthless as instruments in a K2000. Perhaps as wavedata for further synthesis and manipulation they'd be more useful, but to just load up an instrument and play it, the ASR is tons better with the ensoniq sounds. >4. i myself am >doing mostly dance type stuff but i would also like to get some cd rom >information on other styles of electronic music as well because i would like >to expand my production into other fields as well. so go ahead tell me what >cd rom you thinks kicks. The 2 LA Riot disks, the Jazzy Jeff disk, and the "Dance Tools" discs are all really good. Also, the keyboard disk (CDR14 I believe). The Invision ensoniq stuff is spotty, though they do have their moments, and less consistant. I would never be without CDR2 and CDR3, which have most of the original programming for the EPS and ASR that was done, as well as almost all the signature series stuff (including stuff I did for/with Nile Rodgers). >5. also APPROXIMATELY how much will it cost to get me up and running with a >scsi port and rom drive.

So really they aren't seperate DISCREET tracks. Not true, sir. You can access sounds outside the instrument with those song tracks. They basically, 10 years ago, had an instrument that could support 8 instruments simultaneously. When they went to design the sequencer, they realized they could support 8 more tracks in song mode than they had instruments for. So, you think they should have just left it at 8 because that's all the instruments that it'd load? I'm sure they felt that they could improve the versatility of the product by including those extra song tracks, either for song length performances (like crash cymbals, for example, which you don't want the same each time the chorus comes around) or for the triggering of other devices. I guess the trouble comes in when, after all this time has passed, there has come to be a common language usage regarding tracks/instruments being the same number.

It *can* be used to access 8 internal and 8 external sounds. That's "almost" true... but of what use is a track if it can't be assigned a different sound? The only advantage I see is that you can edit it seperately - especially with SHIFT CLOCKS, which does not have a SET RANGE option. It's just like calling a VS-800 a 64-track digital recorder - only 4 tracks simultaneous recording and 8 tracks playback. The other "tracks" are just storage, really. As for the external sounds, that's a moot point - sure, it's 8 int and 8 ext, but they are paired - 1 int also plays 1 ext, 2... etc. That's not flexible at all, and hardly what I call a 16-track sequencer. And that's the peeve that get's Todd and I - Ensoniq would advertise without qualification "16-tak sequencer". The most the ASR has is an 8 paired-track sequencer. 8 sounds, 8 MIDI channels. >>Anyone's definition of tracks means DISCREET tracks - meaning a sovreign >>track that plays a different sound with it's own seperate information. >Sorry, no sale.

Different issue. Yeah, I see what you mean - but since I'm pushing for a perfect world, I'll insist that the word "track" means more than what the Song Tracks in the EPS/ASR are. And I really believe that's what the general consensus is, as well. Every so often I get people calling me, asking where the other 8 tracks are. Then they go back to the store and cuss out the salesman, who was just reading Ensoniq's claims. >>The EPS/ASR has 8 DISCREET tracks, called SEQUENCE tracks.

I dunno, but can you save >anything less than the whole instrument to disk on there yet? Ensoniq could've upgraded the ASR sooner. Consider... EPS is 1988, 16-Plus is 1990, ASR is 1992. The X came out in 1997 - 3 years "late" - and even that isn't being touted as a "replacement". But that was Ensoniq's decision - - that's OK. Even in late 1992 when the ASR-10 came out, 16-channel multi-timbrality was quite common. My Wavesatation is 16-channel multi-timbral - that came out in 1989, and it doesn't even have a sequencer onboard. IMHO, the ASR-10 was the last Ensoniq stretch of the EPS design - they didn't allocate new R+D to a new sampler until much later. If you have a successful design, take it to the limit - that's good philosophy. To improve beyond the capabilities, the whole thing has to be designed from square 1 - and that seemingly hadn't been possible until the ASR-X. You make a good point.

Deved is absolutely correct about this, and I was wrong. Sorry for the misinformation. I still see the "additional seq tracks" as just a sort of compromise bonus, nothing to complain about. The alternative for them would've been to just leave 'em out, which, limited though they are, wouldn't have been as good.

First off, once again, I mislead about the song tracks ability to play external sounds in addition to the 8 internal. It can't, and I apologize. I was confusing it with the VFX/SD/TS sequencer, which will. The idea was that you could record events that occur only one time through a song on these tracks, which would then play along with the events in the sequence for a particular section (drum fills at the end of a chorus, for example, that you'd want different for each sucessive chorus but are based on one piece of sequence material). That was their explanation at the time. >And that's the peeve that get's Todd and I - Ensoniq would advertise >without qualification "16-tak sequencer".

That's slightly closer to the absolute truth, because you can assign different sounds to the song tracks, either internal or external. >Yeah, I see what you mean - but since I'm pushing for a perfect world Don't forget to reserve me a spot there. >I really believe that's what the general consensus is, as >well.

Hello Fellow Ensoniq users!!!! It's my first time (a post to this list), so be gentle sweetie. I have a few answers to these questions from Donald............. >1. I am/was considering buying a sound module (Emu orbit) BUT I know it is a >SAMPLE playback type module. I have an asr-10 and i was wondering if i would >be better off spending the money on a scsi port and cd rom drive instead?? >considering the orbit is around $800 and i could get a scsi set up AND some >cd roms for the same amount. If you already have a 'second' (or third) sound source then I would strongly suggest the SCSI option for your ASR10. If you do NOT have a (different make) sound module or synth AS WELL as your ASR10 then I'd but the Orbit. Every module has its' own sound, and everyone can benefit from having a few sound sources in a rig (you also get more notes and MIDI channels to work with). >2. is there any way to use the cd rom drive from my computer with the asr?? i >have a 200 mmx pentium with win95 and 32megs of ram. i don't have a scsi port >but i would get one if necissary. i basically want to know if it is a) it is >possible?? and b) does anyone know of any complications of a setup like >this?? NO!, you would need a SCSI CD ROM drive (not an IDE CDROM as supplied with your system). You could replace your CDROM (or add another), and get a SCSI card, but then you'd also want to 'write' samples as well (I hope!!!). You would want a SCSI Hard Drive as well (why not buy a ZIP or Syquest removable drive?), then you'd gain all the benefits of such a device. (Back up your PC to cartridge, etc...) >3. how good is the use of NON ensoniq cd roms?? i know the asr READS roland >and akai samples but do i loose editing capabilities, sound quality, ect.?? The 'raw' recorded samples on Akai and Roland CDROM's are compatible but you loose all 'patch' information. This is usually easy to recreate with the ASR10 editing functions, provided you 'convert' the sample to the ASR10 format before using the sample. (You might need the Waveboy Disks and a miracle to recreate resonating filters though!) >4. what cd roms would you recommend/ not recommend, suggest?? i myself am >doing mostly dance type stuff but i would also like to get some cd rom >information on other styles of electronic music as well because i would like >to expand my production into other fields as well. so go ahead tell me what >cd rom you thinks kicks. I don't reccommed you buy ANY CDROMS!, I'd suggest you buy a Syquest or ZIP drive, and build up your own sample library. There are only a small number of Ensoniq format CDROMS available (that I know of), that provide high quality re-usable samples. Most of the CDROMS have drum loops and silly little riffs that will soon become: a) out of 'fashion', uncool, and plain boring. b) really annoying to the performer (believe me!) c) an expensive regret!! I would suggest that if you build up a library of 'raw elements' or building blocks (from any audio source!), and experiment, you would: a) learn alot about sound, sampling, and music. b) gain a sense of 'achievement' by using you sophisticated instrument (ASR10), as an instrument, and not a 'wank machine'. 5. also APPROXIMATELY how much will it cost to get me up and running with a scsi port and rom drive. (throw in the price of your favorite cd as well)?? In Australia (home for me), you can get a SCSI CDROM (2x) for around $80, a cable for $30, but the ASR10 interface is around $300! This is bloody robbery!!! as you can fit your PC out with the 'best' SCSI interface for that price. CDROM's range from $50 to $500 and mostly suck. A blank cartridge for a ZIP drive will cost around $30, and a Syquest cartridge (270MB) around $85, and the drive around $300. >6. does anyone still make the output expander for the asr?? if not any leads >on where i could get one?? Electric Factory in Australia still sell 'em (if that helps). >7. i also like a zip option instead of a cd rom (only because it is >recordable) but i see that not many people offer sounds on zip carts. am i >wrong?? or would this be better as an option to look into AFTER buying a cd >rom drive?? You know how I feel about this.... I dont know of any 'commercial presets' available on ZIP but it would be easy to do. There is bound to be someone in your area that can help. >8. if i use my computer cd rom through scsi could i save instruments on my >hard drive instead of a zip. (i really DON'T need REMOVABLE storage) You need a CDROM or hard drive with its' own 'SCSI ID' number, therefore your current system won't do. If you buy a SCSI Hard drive, make sure your interface has external SCSI ports (some PC SCSI cards only connect to SCSI drives internally - in the box). >9. how do i access the archives of this list?? Dunno? About me...... I use my ASR10 six nights per week live(different venues) , and 'lend' it to a studio through the day. It is turned on and being used about 12 hours per day ,and gets knocked about all the time. It is the MOST reliable keyboard I own (and I own many), and my favorite. I have been treating my ASR10 like this for three years! My SCSI setup on the other hand, has been a pain in the arse, breaking down (about) every six months, and taking a lot of my time. I have recently purchased a CDROM recorder(the fourth SCSI device in three years), and have come to the conclusion that SCSI hard drives are not 'Gig safe'. If you intend to play live, I'd suggest you buy a SCSI re-writable CDROM drive and save yourself a heap of trouble. Burning a new CD, or buying an $80 CDROM drive, is much cheaper in my experience. Learn from my mistakes!!!! The ASR10 is an awesome instrument, and there are heaps of people who have proven its' capabilities. If your music DOESN'T sound good with the ASR10, then work harder!! BTW I'm selling my ASR10R w/SCSI and 8 outs, Syquest 270MB, and three cartridges full of sounds for only $3000(Aust Dollars) all in a TKL rack! Anyone interested should reply to me (not the list). Sorry for the length of this post (there was a lot to say). regards, Matthew Harrold [26 yrs old and going grey!!!] I like brackets!. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I believe Logic Audio can quantize Audio to Audio, Audio to MIDI, MIDI toAudio. I use regular Logic so I don't know exactly how it works but I have seen a demo and well it's a mind blower. I think the guy sucked the groove off a sample of Funky Drummer and quantized a really shitty sounding midi track with the template. It really came to life. Also you should check out Steinberg's Recycle, it's nice for dicing loops and for changing tempo in small increments. A must have in the bag of tricks. Almost the same thing can be achieved with the X by using the fine tuning and your ears so for just nailing loops I usually use the X, once you get it it's fast, could be the fastest Sampler interface ever created. Recycle is quick and good for many things though, I use it to build drum kits since the cuts are so exact. > What is the secret for doing this... let's say that I wanted to > quantize a series of cymbal hits over a sampled drum track... and make > the cymbal hits match the sample... On the X you could1) Param Copy the cymbal hit sample across several pads 2) Tweak the start and end points on them so you get several versions starting at different points 3) Trigger em when you need em. This is a really cool way to do the Poor Man's Recycle. One benefit over using Recycle too. Your using less memory because it's a Param copy and you have multiple versions of the whole loop to work with instead of tiny little snippets. Other then that, it's just getting to know how those numbers work. After a while you get a feel for how much you need to trim to nail it. What sometimes sounds perfect is not when you put it in a sequencer so don't be too hasty with the truncate. Once you get it in, loop it. Use Tap Tempo to get in the ballpark, loop it in a sequence and fine adjust the tempo, sometime you can nail it here. If not go to the loop points and see if you didn't lop anything off, sometimes you did and you can nail it here, if it's still skipping a little, go to the fine tuning and crank a few cents. You should get it here. If not practice. Keep doing it until it's second nature. It's really easy when you get it. After you got it tweakin, truncate, normalize, name it with a BPM and stash it in your library. Hope that helps.

Be aware that there may be a law of diminishing returns here though. Consider this "Grasshopper"... Am I not limiting myself by using only MY samples on every song (ALL THE TIME) ??? (exception- Nitzer Ebb's exclusively Xpander tunes- gotta love em') Why do major sound development companies (including Rubber Chicken) use different programmers ??? well- yes...to expand their catalog, BUT ALSO - To play upon the individual Forte's of programmers and provide a more diverse sonic pallette. This is the same reason you/we have synths from different manufacturers. Why not view your sampler as a collection of synths from different manufacturers ? Tracks 1 through 5 could be Your signature instruments, and 6-8 could add that extra cool spice (NOT spice girls.... please) to your tune. I use some factory samples in my ASR-10. I don't use ultra-identifyable samples that you can pick out ("hey- he's using a D-50 Native loop !! KILL HIM!!"). With that in mind- when there is no backlash of exposure, you can only improve the sound of your tunes (just mix your stuff with some other stuff), you are already doing that if you are using ANY synth module based on sampleplayback synthesis (includes Emu modules). Matt makes some excellent points (about 'wanking' and benefits of making your own sounds). I would agree that you should buy a cd that does'nt use trite riffs- try and get one that has fully looped "instruments". CDROMS have come WAY down in price and can be had for $59-99 ( a steal). When you get a CDROM- you can do two additional cool things... 1. Learn about programming by analyzing the work on the CDROM. ( this is the highest form of flattery- don't-cha-know ) alternately- if we're lucky, some kind soul will make a book that tells all the timeless secrets of the ASR universe... that would be cool huh? 2. You can DESTROY the samples on the CD by mixing them together (DSP), running them through effects and resampling them (an ASR makes it easy), looping their attack portions (loopstart-X.. Nasty !!) etc..... and PRESTO !! New samples! (fanfare here).. to sum up.....

As you say, you can take the groove from any audio source and turn it into a quantise template that can be used to quantise either midi tracks or audio files. On of my favourites is to get the quantise groove from a loop that you don't use in the track, and then apply the groove to your midi drum parts - sublte but very effective. ==/==/==/==/==/==/==/==/== Paul Najar Jaminajar Production Composition Arrangement Performance 61 2 93607234 (fax) 61 2 93601985 ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

A typical floppy drive available these days will not work in a EPS - or an ASR for that matter. Typical replacements are hard to find - direct replacements are not made anymore. Places specializing in Atari parts might have the drives - one is Toad Computers, but the customer service there is extremely nasty. The only direct replacement model I know of is the Sony MPF420-2-121 or MPF520-2-121 (preferred). We have a limited stock of these on hand. Ensoniq had called me a while back looking for a source for the drives too, to give to their ASC.

Also, the 270 requires 12v power - not available inside the EPS/ASR case, unless you are willing to drillholes for an adapter or install a power supply in the case as well. We say a better option is the Zip or EZ135 - they take 5v, which is what the floppy takes. And the media is appropriately priced. And of course you have to get around the obstacle of cabling - the EPS/ASR has a 25-pin SCSI port inside the machine, and drives have 50-pins.

You could Giebler's EDM, but that is not able to write operating systems on hard drives. I'm not sure if EPSm can, but I know Tools can. You can defintely route the floppy interface out to an external source, but that takes custom cabling too.

In other words, is there any way to achieve the same result with an ASR-10 or some sort of sampling software like SoundForge or WaveLab? So far, the only thing I've been able to do is reduce the sampling rate NOT the bit-depth. Actually, both the programs will let you reduce bit-depth to 8-bit (for multimedia applications) but you can't go to 4-bits....which is what gives you all the cool noises. I saw a guy do the bit-reduction thing on the ASR-X to some drum loops and it sounded really cool.

OK everybody heres MY A... You can't rate 'em out of ten because they are unproffessional (dock 0.4 off the whole scheme and bugger up the stats). I bought the disk, was disappointed at its position (in the effects section) but then bought a foot pedal (volume type) Now my left foot is busy adding "elements" to all sorts of music I play. It gets a rating of 6 out of 9.6 because I have found it useful for adding "sweep" or "schwing" etc...to otherwise "unsweepy" or "unschwingy" sounds. It is noisy (like the ASR "Guitar AMP" and Comp/Dist/Wah effects) and therefore is almost useless for recording. It doesn't compare to "real filters", but does give the ASR10 some new functionality. Unless you a really poor (or have another sound source with resonating filters) I'd suggest you should buy it. >I so want to buy this little goodie..............WILL IT BE AN IMPROVEMENT???????? Yes and no (as I have said) I invented a new word back there (unless someone else wants to claim 'unschwingy"). PS I have now bought an "external" filter (old Roland analog Cynthia) which although LESS programmable, has a meat packed MF sound. (and it only cost three beers!)

The quantise is not that "mysterious" You tell logic what subdivision you want the new template to be based on. 8th's, 12th's, 16th's etc......So the resultant template will be for eg. a 16 template but with some beats slightly pused and others slightly retarded. > And once you create a loop by smapling it, all of >your quantizing functions are no longer available right? Not in Logic. You could for whatever reason, create your groove template from a sample loop, then, as in my example, use that template to quantise some programmed drum parts, and then if you wanted, turn part or all of those parts back into a sample loop and requantise the sample loop at a later stage, although this to me would be chasing your tail a bit....but it is possible. >I mean it is >sampled at this point, so it is one big piece. Correct.

I think the problem may lie in the CD-ROM drive I'm using, but at any rate so far I haven't been able to access the Akai format. Here's my current setup: ASR-10 keyboard with SCSI (of course...), 16M RAM OS 3.53, ROM version 1.50 CD-ROM drive: Apple CD150 (single speed), I believe it has a Sony mechanism I've used this drive for a long time now, first with my EPS-16+ and then with my ASR-10 since I upgraded earlier this year. I've used a handful of Ensoniq-formatted disks, and have have no problems reading any kind of data or files from them. When I try to load from the Akai disk, I go: 'Command-Instrument'/'Import non-ASR sounds'/'Device type = Akai'/''Load device = SCSI 4'. After that, I have to wait 3 or 4 minutes at the last display, and then after the wait is over I can interact with the ASR again. However, I am unable to read anything from the disk, no directories are available, etc. I've checked the obvious Web sites (Ensoniq USA, Ensoniq Japan, an Ensoniq related site in Australia, one or two more) and can find nothing detailed about accessing Akai format disks, and nothing at all about how to deal with this problem. I also talked on the phone with a tech support guy here at Ensoniq Japan, he at least knew what I was talking about, but had nothing in the way of concrete advice or suggestions. My guess is that the problem is with the specific CD-ROM drive. It's slow, and possibly the disk I'm trying to load (it was released in 1995) can't be read from my current drive. Any suggestions about other CD-ROM drives to try? Maybe a newer, faster drive will do the trick? I'm willing to find another drive, but I don't have the time or money to just go out and buy drives at random in the hopes that it will fix the problem.

Any ideas for a poor non-ASR-Xer? All you need to do is reduce the amplitude of your sample and then normalize. You can do that on the EPS Classic as well as the ASR and with most any Audio software. To get the dirtiest sound, reduce the most. You can do it in several steps if needed. Too much reduction will give you absolute silence, but that can be cool too.

In regards to my, then Jari Salos' comment regarding the Waveboy filter. I was trying to point out to the 'unsuspecting' buyer that the Waveboy Filters are noisy which they are. They are also dirty and have a loud 'kink' in the 'sweep' (did I explain that right?), that often needs compressing (to stop an input clip in the signal on my desk). The GuitarAMP effect and Comp/Wah/Dist effects generate a loud 'pop' sound when selected (sometimes), and are quite audible when no signal is being sent to them. For these reasons I mentioned what I did, because in my experience they ARE NOISY. My comment "It is noisy (like the ASR "Guitar AMP" and Comp/Dist/Wah effects) and therefore is almost useless for recording." should perhaps have read: "It is noisy (like the ASR "Guitar AMP" and Comp/Dist/Wah effects) and therefore requires an additional noise gate if used in a situation where you want the ASR10 to be SILENT inbetween phrases. If you don't mind a small amount of hiss, the occasional 'pop', and a few uncontrollable quirks in your sound, or this was your intention then the WaveBoy,Guitar AMP,Comp/Dist/Wah effects are a worthy addition to your rig." >I personally hate too clean "digital" sounds, and prefer fat & dirty sounds. I also must say that Waveboy >resonating filter combined with the internal filter (pedal is essential for testing the sounds!) can be a real killer. Me too! I mentioned these effects because they are the ones I use the most live, they are my favorite, and mostly for the same reasons Jari defended them for recording. They certainly add heaps to a live gig (where less sound control is necessary). Shit, maybe I'm just fussy. I was actually praising WaveBoy Filters. 6/9.4 = 64% = high pass = praise A point Jari was making (if I'm right) is that he likes them too, just more than me (Jari: what do you give 'em outta 10?) > I'm not trying to produce the exact sounds of the past or sound like everyone else (this is not good! >It doesn't sound like a minimoog!), and if think the same way, go ahead and experiment. Neither am I One last comment: I play my ASR10 thru 2x JBL System 1400 bins (PA), 2x JBL powered EONS (bass 'n' drummer monitors), and four 800W wedges. (This replaces our old shitty EV1810 system.....gag), and is in a small room (350 -500 people). When I 'go thru' the sweep on a WAVEBOY filter (rez>30 - medium rez), it clips audibly in two places taking scalps off everone on the dancefloor. I can use the kink in a Waveboy sweep to make 500 people blink simultaneously.... what fun!!! bye now, Matthew Harrold ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I just bought an EPS, and I have a few questions about it. First, I'll say that I don't think I did enough research on it before buying it. I think I mistook what I read about the 16+ for what I was getting. So, just to make sure, I have a 2-meg limit, right? And I have no effects, and can't use things like those waveboy effects disks? Also, in order to use a scsi device, I need to get the proper memory expander? And is that the only way to expand the memory? Where does one purchase these? Also, the sequencer, from what I can tell, isn't very useful to me from what I can tell. I only got the musician's manual with the keyboard, so I'm not sure if there's more it can do than what that tells me. Is there any sort of step-record feature? I'm not much of a keyboard player, so if I have to play live to use it, well, I can't. I could use midi software on my computer, but I want to be as independent as possible from my computer. Do any of the later ensoniq products have more full featured sequencers? I'd like to be able to edit the sequence, and, say, add controller movements on a separate pass, and things like that. Oh, and I tried using sendeps and geteps so I could send it .wav files, but it tells me it can't find an mpu. Is there any other way that I can use .wav's with it? Oh, and is v2.49 the last OS? So, now I have to decide if I should keep this or not. I know that if I get a later ensoniq product I can use on-board effects and the effects disks, which really would be quite important to me. Do any of these have more full-featured sequencers? Also, I paid $350 for mine--is that a decent price? What sort of price range would I be looking at for a 16+, or one of the ASR's? Well, I guess that was more than a few question. Any help/tips/advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks, kayvon@metro.net ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Yep. Glad you brought this up - I had been researching this recently, and here's the conclusions: This bug has been present ever since the EPS came out (1988). Every so often, I've heard Ensoniq either acknowledge the bug or say it's fixed. Unfortuantely, the bug still exists. I deal with it personally all the time. (DISCLAIMER) Some of this infomartion may not be word-for-word accurate, since I never have worked at Ensoniq. But the main gist is correct. Let me explain how the EPS/ASR uses Song/Seq in memory and what happens on disk. When you are recording a Sequence, the EPS uses a Sequence structure in memory, and expands/reduces that. Those operations are fine. However, when you start "adding" to your Song, a Song structure is formed in memory. This is based on the Sequences that are entered into the EDIT SONG STEPS. A Song structure looks like this: Pointers to all objects in the file Song Track Info (pointers, Song steps info, Song track info, other) (Probably) Invisible pointers to all Sequence structures present in memory Here's where the bug "steps" in. Apparantly, there is an allocation problem as the Song structure is updated when you are working on the Sequences. This is apparant when you look inside a Song file saved to disk. This is what you see in a overly large Song file: Pointers to all objects in the file Song Information Sequence structure (intact, including size count etc.) Junk, based on what was in memory at the time of saving Another Sequence Structure More junk, based on what was in memory at the time of saving etc. In other words, the Song file is "assembled" in memory incorrectly. In my opinion, this seems like a fairly simple problem to fix in the OS - but I don't really know anything about that either. Anyway, to FINALLY answer your question, yes - "reassembling" the Song file is the way to fix this - but of course, you will lose any Song track information - but by writing down the Song step info, you can recreate that easily. Let me add some remaining hints: Our Tools programs have a "reassmbler" for Song files implemented - this way, you can reduce the Song files down to their smallest size, while retaining all the information. We also are working to extract the code out from the program and make a small freeware utility for anyone's use. We'll announce it and post it on the SC site when it's ready. Also, there is a way of working that reduces this problem as well. 1) Sequence away, saving each individual Sequence to floppy as you go - DO NOT using SAVE SONG + ALL SEQ - you may use the EDIT SONG STEPS feature. 2) Do not use Song Tracks at all (no loss, in my opinion). 3) Once you are ready to save the entire Song, write down the Song Steps information on a piece of paper. 4) Save your Sequences individually, if you haven't already. IMPORTANT: The EPS/ASR has a kind of funny way of storing Sequences. There are 80 "slots" in which to put Sequences, but there is no obvious, easy way to find out which slot a particular Sequence is in - And that is important, since that is what the Song Step's point to. Also, two seperate Sequences can have the same name. That's why we suggest using the default Sequence names (SEQUNECE 01, SEQUENCE 02, etc.). That gives you an easy way of seeing which "slot" it is occupied in, and perhaps it would prevent having two Sequneces wiht the same name. 5) Invoke ERASE SONG+ALL SEQ. 6) Load the SECOND saved sequence (the one that occupied Seq slot #2) first from floppy. 7) Erase SEQUENCE 1 - this is the default undefined Sequence that is naturally in the EPS/ASR. P.S. The reason you do this is that it is impossible to erase this "natural" Sequence unless there is something else loaded. It's an OS thing... 8) Load the Sequence #1 into the EPS/ASR. 9) Load the rest of the sequences in, IN ORDER. 10) Re-input your Song Step info. 11) Invoke SAVE SONG+ALL SEQ. Done.

And remember the > LOOPSTART and END are not fixed, they move as the MOD SRC changes. The crossfade functions, won't really help you here. (-allthough there is a tiny chance that it might help just a little, but you should xrossfade the whole sample, not just the loop you are using in your transwave ) The key to get rid of the klicks lies in selection of starting material. If you sample, only certain samples are suitable. Only certain sound sources are suitable. Analog synths are OK, but typically don't make a sample of a fat sounding patch. Use only one oscillator. Sounds containing inharmoniq content is not optimum. Thus drums, Xylophones, small pianos, hard blown trumpets - are not sutable. You may get your best results from programs such as CSOUND.

In the message body put: unsubscribe eps ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Dec 1997 12:05:05 -0600 From: "Rubber Chicken Software Co." Subject: EPS: OS Changes I made this a seperate post, since it is slightly a different thing than the large Song problem. Ensoniq has never said officially (at least not to me) that the ASR OS was "closed", meaning they were not intending to update it. Even that said, I have a feeling that "that is it" for the ASR OS. Which, considering the existance of some pretty irritating bugs, is not an acceptable situation (for me, at least). So let me propose something. Why don't we as a list band together to persuade Ensoniq to at least finish up the OS, and then they can leave it alone and pursue the other things fully (PARIS, ASR-X, hearing aids, etc.)? Ensoniq hardly has a financial stake in the ASR-10/88 anymore - if money talks, then they really don't have any incentive to fix the ASR OS. So let's speak up while we still can. The last thing I want is a bunch of unorganized random complaining to Ensoniq, trying to obligate them to do this. Instead, I would like to gring it up constructively so it would be a matter of public insterest that they did it. So, let's adopt a platform first: I propose the following bugs be fixed in OS 3.54. These are LIMITED to problems that seems 1) easily fixed, 2) important to operation, 3) documented and reproduceable. 1) The Song file allocation problem This is where a Song file is inaccurately sized so it is way larger than what it should be. This has to be fixed. 2) CONFIGURE AUDIO TRACKS parameter be saved in the Global Parameter settings Presently it is not, and I get really tired of changing all the time - otherwise, you get CONFIGURING AUDIO TRACKS messages all the time. 3) Fix the SCSI reception/transmission problem when working with computer requeesting/sending wavesample information The ASR has problems sending or receiving wavesample information via SCSI. The EPS and 16-Plus could do this fine, but for some reason the ASR has problems. This would benefit computer editors immensely. 4) Fix the EFFECT CONTROL settings. This is a problem where when you load a Bank, it is supposed to load in new EFFECT CONTROL settings in the EDIT-TRACK page. It does visually, but actually the old settings are used. This problem came up using the Waveboy effects, but it applies to any other effects as well. 5) Fix the sliding sector problem when writing DS/DD disks There is a slight problem when the ASR formats DS/DD disks. This is noticed when you take a formatted DS/DD disk from an ASR, stick it into a PC, and try to use EPSDisk on it. Doesn't work exactly right - it can't be accessed. However, the disk can be used on any ASR or EPS. 6) Fix the Sys-Ex Virtual Button Presses A VBP is a sys-ex command where sending a certain sys-ex command simulates pressing any button on the EPS/ASR. The problem is that when you send this message, it works for a millisecond, but then the EPS/ASR "reacts" to the sys-ex command being sent, and snaps right back to the EDIT screen. having the VBP's work would open up many more functions being able to be accessed via remote control. (NOTE: there are many other sys-ex things I would like to see revised, but I'll settle for this.) Please Let's spend a small amount of time discussing this - please post any more bugs that adhere to the previous criterion, and then we'll send it on to Ensoniq with our "sigs" and try to get a committment out of them. Ways of pressure include: 1) Posting the bug list in TH, Keyboard, and EM. 2) Posting it on our FAQ and other means 3) Calling Ensoniq and following up on it Remmeber - I don't consider it any obligation, moral or otherwise, that Ensoniq HAS TO do this. I just consider this repectful, friendly persuasion - - I certainly don't think that Ensoniq any financial incentive to fix up the OS - and with their hot seat with PARIS and other products, it's going to take a push to have them pay any attention to ASR-10/88 anymore. Remember - the 16-Plus OS 1.3 (which has been "closed" by Ensoniq) retained a bug which affects the translation of EPS Songs to 16-Plus spec. They never bothered to fix it. EPS OS 2.49 never included the Backup/restore function that is listed in the functions (that supposedly was to be 2.50). They never got to it. Do you want 3.53 to be final ASR OS? I say not.

Excellent (although I'm a bit pessimistic). Forgive me- but I have two more suggestions (Garth- I think you can comment on the feasability here). 1.Would it be a MAJOR fix to ask for the ASR to access 32 megs of ram (via an aftermarket simm slot expander ?)- if yes then forget it. 2. I would also add (and Mauchley will love this one) that Ensoniq should licence the waveboy efx from herr waveboy, and include them in the new ROM.

Well, under some circumstances, both. In the case that you mention in particular, I mean dedicated hardware sequencers i.e. - devices that live only to perform sequence tasks, though I'm sure the Akai MPC line (which also houses samples within its architecture) is quite good as well.

I agree - but a couple things... there is very little in the 16-Plus OS that needs documented fixing, other than the problem with EPS Song translation - and OS 1.1 is able to do that translation (the bug appeared in 1.3). If there is enough that warrents it, let's do it.

Well, maybe so - but I'd rather try than not try. But on this thought I say LOL too, in a way. I don't think we ever could present enough buying power IN PERSON to affect their decisions on projects and resources. But it's helpful to include that staement in with the presentation - "I might not be so willing to buy further Ensoniq products, because you've shown that you are not as responsive to comments as I'd like"... But I think the main problem with that is that NO OTHER COMPANY is any better at resposiveness. I don't think that any sampler manufacturer has any reputation for really listening to customers requests. And that isn't sour grapes - I've seen this over years of being in the industry. It doesn't mean that companies should do EVERYTHING the customers asks for, but they should at least aim for COMPLETION and QUALITY in what they do have. That's the reason that I'd like to limit this to BUGS and not FEATURES. Have them fix what they already have implemented. Ensoniq has been OK at responding to GENERAL customer comments, but there's been many things that have slipped through and ignored - for whatever reason. (the SONG bug has existed since 1988...)

The only way of verifying is to: 1) Turn the ASR off, and on again 2) Load the Bank I have heard many complaints about the same type of thing, but for me - I have always seen the Bank feature work as advertised. Here's my method. When I am ready to save a Bank, I: 1) Make sure that no floppy or SCSI device have the same Disk label 2) Save every sound to it's desination, and the Song, if I want it... 3) Reload every sound after I save it, and the Song 4) Save the Bank Works EVERY time. Of course, most of the time I compose the bank within Disk Tools - that's much easier. >also, it is a real pain that the save bank does not record which output >(effects 1,2,3 - expander 1,2,3) i have the sounds routed to. so each time i >load the bank i have to go in and reconfigure each sound. definitelly causes >a slow start-up when i first start working. any ideas on how i can save the >output setting with each sound in the bank? When you save the Bank, it remembers the: 1) MIX or VOLUME for each track (viewed on main screen or EDIT-TRACK) 2) PAN (WS or -99 to +99) - EDIT-TRACK 3) OUT (WS, BUS1, BUS2, BUS3, AUX1, AUX2, AUX3 - different for EPS people) - - EDIT-TRACK 4) Effects Control EDIT-TRACK (remember, there is a bug in which the EPS/ASR does not respond to new settings) Try it.

The output settings of your sounds must be saved as part of the sound information. Save the bank setting last. The bank save will save the information of the location of the sounds on the HD or floppy that are loaded. So if you move sounds around on the HD, the asr will not know where to look for them. The best suggestion is: When you finish a song, resave all of the sounds in one area of the HD and save the bank settings too. This way, you still have your original sounds in one area of the HD and the edited sounds in another area that are specific for your song. Effects setting can be saved also, I believe this is under command, effects buttons. sincerely, mark http://www.midimark.comDGianeto wrote: > > season's greeting everyone.. > > i have the ASR w/ SCSI saving to a ~870MB Lacie hard drive (works great with > the ASR by the way). when i save a bank, sometimes it does not 'remember' all > the instruments that were in the bank when i saved. so if i have 8 soudns > loaded, it may remember only 2 or 3 or 4,ect. i haven't seen any pattern as > to which ones it remembers and which it doesnt. sometimes it saved them all > just fine. anyone know whats going on with it? is there any way to 'verify' > the save bank after i save it? > > also, it is a real pain that the save bank does not record which output > (effects 1,2,3 - expander 1,2,3) i have the sounds routed to. so each time i > load the bank i have to go in and reconfigure each sound. definitelly causes > a slow start-up when i first start working. any ideas on how i can save the > output setting with each sound in the bank? > > thanks.. dave > ============================================================================= > This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University. > If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing list, send electronic mail > to majordomo@oak.oakland.edu.

A long time ago, I discovered a little known aspect of the EPS, and now ASR, OS that could cause this. If the directory structure on your SCSI drive is more than 6 layers deep, any instrument deeper than 6 layers (or maybe even ON the 6th, I don't recall) will not load into a saved bank. When I say "layers" in a directory, I'm talking: - --> ROOT dir--> My Sounds dir--> Keyboards dir--> Pianos dir--> Acoustic Pianos dir--> Grands inst--> Steinway1 In this scenario, the Steinway will not load automatically into a bank load, even if the bank was saved with it having been loaded from there. For this reason, the first thing I do when I format a SCSI device for an Ensoniq sampler is disregard their default directory structure, and make my own. You see, because of this limitation stated above, and the fact that any directory can only have 38 entries, you really want to use as many of the 38 locations/"layer" available, to maximize the number of total entries available in the structure. So, the root layer of my main SCSI drive has all the instrument types/families, like keyboards, guitar, basses, drums, brass, strings, woodwinds, percussion, loops, etc etc etc. I then subdivide catagories from there. Any of that making sense? >>also, it is a real pain that the save bank does not record which output >>(effects 1,2,3 - expander 1,2,3) i have the sounds routed to. so each time i >>load the bank i have to go in and reconfigure each sound. definitelly causes >>a slow start-up when i first start working. any ideas on how i can save the >>output setting with each sound in the bank? You need to save a blank song with your bank, the song will remember the output routings, but NOT the MIDI channels of the instruments. The way I do this, when saving a bank, is save the bank first, then all the instruments, then "song and all sequences" (I don't even give the song a name, the ASR identifies it by location, not name), and then I RESAVE the bank (VERY important). The reason I do it this way is so that file #1 in any song's directory is the bank file (having been saved first,and then overwritten), not an instrument, effect, or song/seq., thus making for easier identification and loading (I work fast, and usually under pressure). On this subject, Mark wrote: >The output settings of >your sounds must be saved as part of the sound information. This is not correct, strictly speaking, although it will, of course, work. It is not the only way, and in some cases isn't the best way. I only have to resave the sounds if I modify them, not just to have their routings preserved, by doing what I suggest above.

Well, most/all of what you reposted after the first sentence was complete and total BS written by a known kook with a love/hate vendetta against Ensoniq. The author, who does not post his real name, is the infamous "Lance" from NYC. Some Ensoniq folk may remember his rec.audio.pro Usenet rants and conspiracy theories about the DP/4 from a few years ago. Lance changes his Net username and ISP from time to time. When I call him a "kook", I'm being kind. The truth (which surprised me when I first read it today) is that Creative Technology Ltd. is going to purchase Ensoniq Corp for $77 million in cash, pending regulatory approval. Here are a few Web pages that I found with PR details: http://www.creaf.com/pressroom/1997/p971210.html http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/971210/pa_ensoniq_creative_1.html http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/971210/creative_acq_ensoniq_1.html http://biz.yahoo.com/finance/971210/creative_crea_si_bu_1.html As far as what the short-term and long-term ramifications are going to be for Ensoniq's past, present, and future customers is anyone's guess. FWIW, I worked (note my use of the past tense) as a software engineer at Ensoniq for over 4 years, and my somewhat knowledgeable guess is that this acquisition is good news for everyone in the short and long-term. It's good news because Ensoniq has been traditionally strapped for cash, and now they'll have tons of it to run the business, improve many areas, fund engineering efforts, fund marketing efforts, etc., etc., etc. I would also point out that unless others have real inside knowledge of the way Ensoniq or Creative conducts their business, that any comments or pontifications they make regarding this topic are going to be a complete guess, and probably also completely wrong. Hey, how's that Prosoniq Web page coming, Garth? I'm eagerly awaiting it's completion. And in a related topic, I can't believe that Werner Klemperer is on ABC's Politically Incorrect right now!

Thanks for the clearing up of the scoop Mike !!! Did't Creative labs buy up EMU a few years back ???? And now they have the wonderful ESI-4000 (64 vouce poly at less than $1200)! ahhhh... visions of a 64 voice ASR that brungs the "other guys" to their Knees (provided it's 99% bug free). OK back to reality- Does this mean that EMU and ENSONIQ will MERGE ???? (why would creative need 2 companies that do about the same thing??) If Ensoniq can now expand due to large cash influx from Creative, will they hire back the great people they laid off ?? (my definition of great is those who worked on gear I've used and loved).

Hi, I've just acquired a 486DX2 66Mhz PC and want to set up a modest MIDI sequencing workstation based around my TS-12. Do any of you guys have any suggestions on what I should consider when looking at MIDI interface cards and sequencing software? I'm wondering what you think works best/worst and hopefully why!

Well, I just acquired a TS-10 and want to set it up with a notebook 486DX2 100MHz... Close.... :) A few years ago I had an Ensoniq VFX-SD, a 286 pc, and a simple 1in-1out Midi Quest midi interface. I used Band in the Box (I think version 1.0), and Cakewalk (an early version). For a hobbyist like me, this setup was great. There was nothing I wanted to do in terms of composition that I couldn't. So, I think with a 1in/1out midi interface and some sequencing software, you'll be fine - depending of course on your needs. I had an internal midi card. I think you can now find midi interfaces that connect to a serial port. I don't know what advantage or disadvantage they have compared to internal cards. There are also editors/librarians, like the one from Music Quest, which has templates for the TS10/12, but I've never used it. This program will allow you to edit sounds on the much better software graphical interface rather than the synth's screen and its buttons. It will also allow you to save banks and sequences directly to the hard drive instead of on diskettes, which hold much less data. I'm not sure about the hardware requirements needed. The latest versions of Cakewalk have comparably steep hardware requirements. Their Pro Audio and Professional packages require a Pentium 75 and minimum of 16 megs of memory. I'd guess that a faster processor and at least 32 megs will make the software much more useable. Their Home Studio package can run on a 486 dx2 and 4 megs of memory, but if you run win95, anything less than 16 megs will make its use kinda slow. There are other packages on the market, but it's been too long since I kept up with them. The TS12 is a complete midi workstation by itself. The use of a computer (in a modest setup) will help you a lot with its graphical interface in sequencing, editing and storing of information for the synth. If you are not too familiar with computers you'll have to spend some time in learning the technical details which, at first, can interfere a lot with composing/performing. But it will save you a lot of time in these tasks. I'd recommend running Windows 95 on your system with 16 megs of memory or even 32. Memory is very cheap these days. Win95 can automatically configure some of the technical details you'll need to set up with the midi card. Or, you could still use DOS and old software versions if you can find them anywhere. I'll also be looking forward for other users' TS-specific suggestions and information on sequencing or other related software.

An ASR with extensive loopmodes and > > morphing filters? > Overall for ENSONIQ, Creative, and all us ENSONIACs this should be very good news. Audio PCI is a cutting edge technology, Creative wanted the technology for their defacto standard Soundblaster lineup no doubt. With this sale Creative gets PCI technology it needs to stay competitive in the Sound Card industy, plus they get Paris and the synth and sampler, software and sound technology almost as a bonus. Ensoniq gets badly needed cash to develop synths, samplers, paris and who knows EFFECTS even. If anyone here is a business person it should be obvious that the global pie for digital instruments has shrunk, all the goliaths are not doing as well as their marketing facades would make you believe. This consolidation of power is a good thing. Come on guys, we're gonna get better products and ENSONIQ lives. I don't think any of us could imagine a world without having ENSONIQ as an option. ENSONIQ has always been the bad boy agitator, how many ENSONIQ innovations have been copied/stolen by the big boys, now the Malvern Posse have some cashola. If Emu's recent product barrage is any indication of what's to come, time to save your pennies boys and girls. > > > I was wondering the same things ... it seemed that ensoniq had no > interest/money in developing any new samplers (asr-x is just old stuff > repackaged) I don't tink soooo, lets take a look at this. How many of you own the "HI END" K2500's, E synths, or EiV's. I think people who buy Ensoniq love the ease of use and Cost Performance. Yes the new EMU pieces are the BOMB but most of us don't have 4000 dollars for a sampler or synth. Hell i'd rather have Paris. My TS, ASR 10 and X have paid for themselves over and over in pleasure and $$$$$$. I live for the amazed look the engineers give me when I walk into a recording or arranging gig with my Powerbook, TS10 and ASR 10r, "that's it?" he'll say and I say "YeeeUP"(ala Cowboy BUGS) I have 2 racks full of modules but carrying em got to be a pain in the ass since most times I never use any of them. They keep calling me so I guess my minimalist rig must sound good enough, they know I have more gear. I'm slowly working the X into my rig and the more I use it the more I fall in love with it, old stuff??? What's so new about the NEW samplers. Man people are finally catching up and you gotta fork over the freaking farm to get shit that the ASR could do for years. Let's look clearly at the options AKAI Sounds thin, shitty effects, hard to use, ha the MPC isn't even freakin Multi Timbral and can't NORMALIZE, EMU and Kurzweil stuff sounds good, cool filters, decent effects but too damn expensive. Roland, Korg and Yamaha samplers yeah right. I have been tempted by the ESI-4000 though. I kinda have this dog type loyalty thing in me so I never even looked at a Emu sampler, makes me feel like i'm cheating on my ASR, but well since Emu and Ensoniq are now family maybe it's time to check out the ESI, the price is definately right, if they axed the right things and kept the right things I might have to get it. I have always been envious of the Emu library and filters. > and with this merge they will have even less reason, since > E-mu does it better and has a much larger market share. I don't know for sure but I think that's incorrect. If what I see people using is any gauge ENSONIQ has bigger market share. I see an occaisional Orbit, Planet Phat maybe a rich kid who doesn't know a coffee filter from a rez filter with a EiV. But I see tons of TS's, ASR's, MR's, KT's DP's and X's. Maybe it's just the people I hang with but well Emu is definately not as big as their marketing would have you believe. > Maybe they'll > continue ensoniq samplers/synths as their low end gear, as this is where > ensoniq has placed itself in the past anyways. You say low end I say bang for the buck. All together now lets do the finger gunk test, which instruments in your rig have the most finger gunk. That's the true test my brutha. > > > My guess is that creative labs' only real interest is PARIS Doesn't sound like a bad plan to me.

ENSONIQ is a key Hey, it had to happen.... My opinions? This seems like a cash infusion. I don't think there is a concern of whatever association Creative has with E-mu. Yamaha "owns" Korg, and if Boeing can buy McDonnel Douglas, Creative can buy Ensoniq... In the past, I've seen the majority of companies (musical or not) leave the companies that they buy alone - but they do force them to focus more specifically and turn a profit. As for the strongly opinioned article about DOA Paris, well - I hope it's successful for Ensoniq's sake. But I go on record as saying that I don't understand who they are going to sell it to - will the market support PARIS in it's price range? Is it a broad enough product to make lot's of sales? Or is that it's intention? I have extensive firsthand information inside Ensoniq, and knowing that the issue of cafeteria food has been a longstanding issue internally and externally with the company, the good news is that yes, the quality, quantity, and overall credibility of the food will improve. Creative has a good reputation for Food Improvement, and certainly they will carry that strong tradition to Ensoniq. And lastly, wouldn't YOU want a chunk of that $77 million?

IMHO Yamaha has never really taken samplers seriously. I liked the fact that you could use multiple blocks of effects BUT to my ears I think the ASR 10 effects sound fatter and you can add to the stock pallette, the X albeit has lost a little bit of the Grunge/Compiness but it does sound good and the EXP -3 turns it into a monster, the X is by far the fastest sampler i've ever used. The knobs on the A are way cool but if its in a rack isn't it kinda hard to get to em. I only played with it for about half a hour so I am in no position to make a judgement, but since you've got it and have been working with it can I ask you a few questions? 1) can it resample. 2) does it have a feature like BOOST in the amp section. 3) can you do transwave type modulation 4) how's the library especially the strings, brass, pianos, and other pain in the ass multi layer stuff. 5) can it import any other file formats 6) How elegantly does it handle layers and wavesamples 7) I don't think I even need to ask but how's the SCSI, it has to be better then the ASR's. 8) How are the filters and editing 9) What kind of DSP functions, Normalize, Time Comp, etc... 10) if it can time comp how fast? I don't even bother trying to time comp in the ASR anymore. 11) do the knobs transmit data, can I record my moves in my sequencer. 12) They talk about a beat matching thing in their ads how does this work. Sorry it came out to more then a few. If you can give me the lowdown i'd really appreciate it.

Hi, I bought an ASR-10R RACK version almost a couple of years ago for $1500, I think. It had two Meg of RAM and I immediately expanded that to 16M. One advantage is that SCSI is standard. One disadvantage (to some maybe) is lack of Polytouch with a third party keyboard.

I've got a Syquest 270 (yuck-o) and I have the same problem (spooky). I think it has something to do with inteference and the SCSI cable (complete guess actually). I moved all leads away from my SCSI cable and wiggled the power cord (hey presto, no whizzing motor sounds). The problem used to happen all the time, but hasn't returned since I 'reorganised' my leads. Might be a co-incidence, might be the solution. Give it a try.......

It senses whether I have just the PC or both turned on. It is really great to be able to edit files on the PC and save them for immediate loading to the ASR-X. I travel with my ASR-X often and use a laptop computer which doesn't have SCSI. However, with the Zip+ I can also use the drive with my laptop's printer port.

Also, I'm not using the standard Ensoniq SCSI connector, instead I bought the connecter from Sound Logic (they advertise in Keyboard mag) which might be the reason there is no problems with termination. For those of us with a PC, the zipplus can connect by SCSI to the sampler, and by the parallel port to the computer, with no need to buy an additional SCSI controller for the PC. It's also quicker than the old Zip drive. A perfect solution?

There is no need for a blank song. I know Michel had good in his heart when he wrote this, but he's only half right. No, you don't want to do these edits on the edit-amp page if you don't want to have to re-save the instruments every time you want different routings. He's right about that part. If you want to do the edits on the edit-track page, where I suggest you do them where possible, you WILL need to save the blank song if you want to have those routings come back in a bank load. This is where he's mistaken. I DEFY anyone to prove that this isn't the case.

(I know this request is slightly off topic for this list, but knowing that there are a lot of knowledgable & helpful people out there, I'll have a go anyway:) I just got myself a new PC (yes, I *know* I should have bought a Mac, but then there is the question of money...) for the purpose of running Cubase Audio. The PC is a Compaq Presario 4526 (?) that comes with an internal soundcard, which - - according to the grapevine - is not very good. So I need to get a new one. The problem of disconnecting or disengaging the *internal* sound card remains, though. Neither the shop where I bought the PC nor the Cubase shop knows how to accomplish this (if sales people actually *knew* soemthing they didn't pick up from a price list they wouldn't be sales people, right?). Does anyone have any experience with this sort of problem?

I've found something about the OEX for the EPS16+ in the net, but I'm not so sure about it - read this: - ------------------------ 9. OEX - Output Expander - ------------------------ The output expander for the EPS is not just a pin-for-pin audio plug. It has complex circuitry with op-amps and multiplexing so you can't just make your own cable. Here are some details. This information is not too useful to anyone without a basic experience in the design of simple operational-amplifier chip-based circuits. "Inside The EPS" - that happens to be the title of an article by Dick Lord in issue #39 of the Transonic Hacker, way back in Sept. 1988. Here, the signals inside the EPS which drive the OEX are explained as follows (a short excerpt): "The 8-output expander uses these output selection lines to route the differential signals at pin 5 and pin 9 of J16 to one of the eight outputs. Since only three pins are available for action, outsel0 and outsel3 are combined by an op-amp and fed to pin 2 of the connector. When pin 2 is non-negative, it can control bit 0 of the external output selector. Pin 1 supplies a clock to gate each output sample. In the Ensoniq expander the differential signals probably are not re-combined immediately, but pass through a differential pair of output selectors to minimize switching noise. Power for the output expander circuitry is available from the positive and negative 12V supplies on pins 3 and 4." J16 OUTPUT EXPANSION 5 4 3 2 1 9 8 7 6 1 -> OUTCLK 2 -> OUTSEL0/3 3 -> +12 4 -> - 12 5 -> Differential output - 6 -> OUTSEL2 7 -> OUTSEL1 8 -> GND 9 -> Differential output + (OUTSEL0/3 is described in a graph, but since I can't do graphics here I'll just transcribe it into a table:) J16-2 (pin 2 -> OUTSEL0/3) Level OUTSEL3 OUTSEL0 - ----- ------- ------- +5V 1 1 +0V 1 0 - -2V 0 1 - -7V 0 0 EXTRA - ----- I have a few things to add to Dick Lord's notes, but I haven't actually looked inside an OEX. Siliconix makes a few analog multiplexer chips, and they have one which fits the bill for the OEX exactly. The DG507A is a Differential 8-Channel Multiplexer. Here is how it would connect to the DB-9 on the back of the EPS (J16 in the article): pin 1 (V+) = J16-3 pin 2 (Db) = J16-9 pins 4 - 11 are + outputs pin 12 (GND)= J16-8 pin 15 (A2) = J16-6 pin 16 (A1) = J16-7 pin 17 (A0) ="OUTSEL0" from J16-2 through a dc-shifting op-amp circuit pin 18 (EN) = J16-1 AND ("/OUTSEL3" from J16-2 thru op-amp comparator) pins 19 - 26 are - outputs pin 27 (V-) = J16-4 pin 28 (Da) = J16-5 OTHER NECESSARY CIRCUITRY - ------------------------- You would probably want to buffer the signals instead of taking a chance on blowing out the DG507 or the EPS. Of course, the more difficult circuit is the op-amp comparator and the 8 sample-and-hold op-amps to store the individual channels as they are clocked by the EPS. The op-amp comparator would need to generate OUTSEL3 by generating 5V whenever OUTSEL0/3 is greater than -1V and generating 0V whenever OUTSEL0/3 is less than -1V. Another section should use an op-amp to generate OUTSEL0 by passing through OUTSEL0/3 when the comparator says OUTSEL3 is logic 1, but a positive dc offset of 7V should be added to OUTSEL0/3 to generate OUTSEL0 whenever the comparator has OUTSEL3 as logic 0. Not too tricky to design this, but I don't have a working/ proven circuit to share. The 8 sample-and-hold op-amps should be connected to combine the respective differential outputs (e.g. S1a, pin 19, would connect to the inverting input, and S1b, pin 11, to the non-inverting input - the output of this would be Solo 1). This circuit would be repeated eight times to combine each demultiplexed differential output, this design cancels out any switching noise generated by the DG507 during demultiplexing (thanks, Ensoniq!). Also, it would be just as easy (sure :-) to do a 16-channel output expander. In this case the 8 pre-panned settings would be available individually as monophonic outputs (hopefully without affecting the quality of the internal stereo outputs). A second DG507 would be wired like the first, except that its pin 18 (EN) would be J16-1 AND OUTSEL3 (instead of the inverted /OUTSEL3). [Taken from: FAQ for EPS16+, but I don't remember where I found it] If anybody is interested, I could create a scematic for the above, mail me at: BTW: Did anybody try this? I would be happy about any hint. As far as I know, the OEX has 6 extra Outputs: Bus 2 L&R, Bus 3 L&R, Aux1 L&R. What about the other 2 outputs mentioned above? How do I have to route the signals to get them out of the last two outputs? Or if I fully decode the outputs, how do I use the extra 8 channels (16 channels in all)?

I still own the thing, but since its first trip back to the factory, and due to the opinion of the seller, (and of many on this and other audio lists) i use it only for backups. My feeling is that if use use a Syquest as a primary, frequent access drive, you MIGHT be okay. Might. But you're probably better off spending that money on a big fixed drive (ask yourself: are you _really_ going to go through gigabytes of HD space that rapidly?)

I'm a new TS10 owner and very happy to be back in the Ensoniq users circle. I haven't done the manual thing completely yet and I'm going over old Hacker articles to find info on the tempo track on the TS10 with OS version 3.04. Where is it? In the song or sequence setup somewhere? Is anyone using Music Quest's TS10 editor? Can it edit wave lists in a wave sequence? I have their demo to check it out but no computer at home yet - hopefully I'll have one soon. By the way, I played a little with the drum and bass wave sequence on the Ensoniq wave seq. manual. I set the wheel to modulate the loop start step and while playing a key, I was turning the wheel up and down in rythm with the wave sequence. The patterns coming out were absolutely amazing! I guess it will take a little practice to be able to control the wheel in perfect timing with the rythm of the whole sequence (for live playing) but with a computer, editing the resulting pattern would be a piece of cake. Is this a great instrument or what? Happy TSing!

Here is my problem. I have an Ensoniq EPS 16+ and I use Cakewalk proaudio 6.01 (I know this is not a cakewalk forum but someone might have some tips). I usually start a new song by loading a new sound on the EPS say in patch 1 and then sequence whatever music I want to in cakewalk. Then I'll load say drums in patch 8 on the EPS and sequence the drum part. Everythign works fine. The problem is the next time I got to load the sequence and sounds again. I have to remember which sound gets put into which patch on the EPS before my sequence will sound right. On the EPS I can load all sounds into the appropriate slots, sequence using the onboard sequencer and then do a "bank" save which takes a snapshot of which sound was in which slot and which sequence to load into the inboard sequencer. I want to be able to do that only all from Cakewalk. My goal is to load a sound onto the EPS, save that sound in cakewalk via sysex (or something) and then have cakewalk load the sound back onto the eps whenever I reload the sequence from my computer. Is this possible? Is there another way? I know about sending patch changes to the EPS to have it load sounds but with that I have to insert a patch change event into the sequence which then proceeds to load the sounds every time the sequence is started as opposed to sending sysex only when the sequence is loaded.

I use EZ-CD Pro for Win 3.1 - and that is quite easy. I've seen EZ for Win95, and I found once where you can do this in the Help file, but I can't find the reference anymore. I thought EZ Win3.1 was more versatile than EZ Win95, but it's always bummer that it doesn't support long file names. Why not call Adaptec and see? Just an afterthought - perhaps we can start a thread here: didn't it seem obvious to this poster (Pete) to check with Adaptec (the owners of the software) first, to see if his software supported this feature, instead of asking us, who maybe don't know? I'm not criticizing Pete at all, though. Here's my random thoughts on this: 1) Too many people don't realize that they should ask the "most likely to know" person, ESPECIALLY the makers of the software. I say this because SO MANY people I deal with ask me questions about the capabilities of other software they own, where the infomation was so easily available in 1) the Help file, 2) the printed manual, 3) technical support. Remember how nuts Ensoniq went in the Hacker Interface, when they constantly had to ask people "call Customer Service"? Maybe they had a point. 2) On the other hand, most company Customer Service is hardly helpful. Some is good, though. No wonder people get "Customer Service Shy". Reasons: a) Long wait times b) Confusing recorded prompts c) Offending, hurried, and impatient Service personel d) Poor information e) passing the buck f) Service 900 number fees, or just non-800 service numbers Any comments?

That's why you need to use the byte-by-byte copying method. Unless somebody could write that software... Only method is to get a larger hard drive and copy everything to that using the computer or the EPS/ASR itself. I have a 700mb SCSI drive I use just for this purpose. The great thing about a SCSI drive that closely matches the CD-ROM size is that at least if a disk is full, the FAT isn't any larger than it has to be.

When the 16-Plus is in Multi-In Mode you can send Program Change commands (not Sys-Ex) and load the corresponding file in the current directory. Also, Program Changes 100-127 will invoke Macro's 1-28. using this information; 1) Setup a macro to go to File 1 of each directory on your hard drive 2) When you want to load a sound, a) Send the Program Change (100-127) to go to the appropriate directory b) Send the Program Change that corresponds to the appropriate file Make sure the two Program Changes are spaced in time long enough for the SCSI drive to respond. Another technique is to use Bank Files to load multiple instruments (16-Plus OS 1.3 only). Just go to the directory where the Bank Files (can be the Root directory, or better yet, the FLOPPY!), and load the Bank File with a Program Change.

Saving samples (banks) via sysex from cakewalk WOW! What a great response! Thanks all. It seems that everybody is pointing to sending patch change data to the EPS via cakewalk to load the correct sound. As I stated previously I have done that before. The problem with that is that the way cakewalk (as far as I know) works with regards to sending patch changes is that I need to insert an event somewhere (obviously at the beginning) in the sequence to send the appropriate patch changes to the EPS. This DOES! work! BUT! since it is embedded into the beginning of the sequence everytime the sequence starts it sends the patch change info to the EPS and it reloads the sounds all over again! With a regular synth this is not a problem. Sending a few bits to do a simple patch change is trivial but sending the same info and then having to wait for a sound to load (multiple times) is slow and inefficient. My goal is to either save the sounds via sysex into cakewalk and then load them only at the time of loading the sequence...which I know from cakewalks point of view can be done; of only send the patch change data ONLY the first time the sequence plays. Another advantage (I think) to saving sound data via sysex is that it would also be a way to store the sounds on the computer without using a 3rd party program (which I do have if I need it). I realize that this may be impossible but I figured if anyone knew how to do it they would be on this list! Thanks again in advance and thanks to all who responded initially!

There is a way around this. What I do here in this studio is put all my patch changes on different tracks. That way, when I need to load the sounds, I solo each track and send it. Then, once the sounds are loaded, I mute those tracks and work on the actual note tracks. The key to getting this right is moving the patch changes from the note tracks to the spare (We call them "Patch Tracks") tracks. >>My goal is to either >>save the sounds via sysex into cakewalk and then load them only at the time >>of loading the sequence...which I know from cakewalks point of view can be done; >>of only send the patch change data ONLY the first time the sequence plays.

If fact if you load a bank in a empty 16-Plus, and then load it again - the the second load simply says Disk Command Completed immediately.

You should be able to do a track by track copy directly from one cd to the other...assuming that your ram and cpu and scsi bus and Cd rom speed are up to it.

Thanks to Mario and Michael for suggesting a nice little DOS freeware program that copies from a scsi harddrive to the CDR. I got this to work for copying ASR zip disks to CDR. I don't have a normal scsi hard drive. It worked like a charm though. I'd suggest that maybe Garth would like to put a copy or link to this program on his site.. only 175KB. It seems this feature has been forgotten on newer versions of bundled CDR software (EZ CD PRO 95) It's DISK2CD.EXE, which is in a collection of freeware programs currently at http://www.goldenhawk.com/products/freeware.htm I think you have to download a larger .zip file that contains this and other widgets.

I spent two days tryin to tune some loops to 131.6 bpm and i's not happening unless I use the pitch fine tuning parameter in pad edit. Fine, no problem for drum loops-- but what the heck am I gonna do when using it fir pitched instruments. Any advice or a crash course in time manipulation for a midi phobic guitarist?

The answer is , as Terje of course pointed out, is to load EPSM first then insert the CDRom - this way the Mac does not eject the disc and when you switch to Toast it sees the CDrom in the drive and you can do a SCSI copy - works great!

The workaround is to set transmit MIDI start/stop/continue to on.

In the past few days my SQ80 audio has begun to cut out. The (not so )short of it is: If I press a single key and hold it , it will play for a while then suddenly cut out. Once it cuts out, no other note will sound .....Most times I can get it working again by pressing a whole bunch of keys at once, but sometimes I have to cycle the power to get it to work. This is very repeatable but the time required to lose the audio can vary >from a minute to 6 minutes....but it always cuts out Fearing some strange midi loop eating polyphony, I disconnected all midi cables so the SQ80 was isolated from the rest of my gear (midi-wise). I tried a cold reboot (reinitialize) of the system and retuned the filters to no avail. I have since performed a few more tests. If I record a sequence and let it play in loop mode, the sound still eventually cuts out.....I had thought that holding a single note for so long triggered the problem and that the repeated note on - note off messages of a sequence would not trigger it......wrong. I also monitored the midi out while the sequence played. When the sound died, the midi data out did NOT stop. So the keyboard as a whole is not locking up. I can still switch menus etc. Finally, The problem is beginning to look like it occurs after a certain period of time regardless whether ANY notes are played or not. I found that simply leaving the SQ80 on and playing NO notes for say 10 minutes causes the audio to cut out. That is, if I try to play notes when I turn the unit on....OK. But if I turn it on and NOT play a note for 10 minutes......No sound!!! I'm sorry for this long post but I wanted to add everything that I've discovered.

You probably can find a second-hand, very cheap one (less than $100) from people who need new fast drives for games or graphic applications. Transfert speeds won't be as amazing as with a hard drive, but really fast enough. Plus, it's extremely sturdy. And you'll be able to load and convert Akai & Roland files. Be aware that fast drives do not work properly with the ASR. Hope this helps. Greetings to all the members !

And what do the error numbers mean? > AAAAHHHHHH. Please help. > Sounds like you have the wrong kind of RAM. The ASR-10 is notoriously flaky when it comes to what sort of RAM it will accept. I also have 10megs of memory and recently tried to upgrade to 16 like you are doing. I ran into the exact same sort of problems. I came to find out that all 4 chips in the ASR must be EXACTLY the same in order for this to work (at least that is what my local authorized Ensoniq dealer told me). I believe Terje had recently posted something about the ASR-10 and RAM. If you don't mind, Terje, could you clue everyone in on the all the details of exactly what kind of RAM the ASR-10 will accept? I would like to know for sure myself, so I can ugrade my ASR also. The manual is very vague about the whole issue and doesn't explain anything about what kind of RAM you must use. My friend has an ESI-32 and it will accept virtually any kind of RAM you can think of without a hiccup. I know the ASR is older, but I wish Ensoniq would design their architecture so it was a little more flexible.

I created 8 instruments that send to 8 different midi channels that I load as a bank, but it sounds like you need at least 1 instrument. Set the Midi Base Channel to 1, Transmit on Instrument Channel. On the instrument, Send Keys to midi, midi out program to 1 and send keys to midi. The one important thing that had me going for awhile is the midi output cable from the computer goes into the midi input of the EPS and input goes to EPS output.

Moreover, why not get 30 friends in, one at a time, sample each one, and lay them across the keys one wavesample at a time (you can even layer different groups of 'em across different keys)? Use different groups of 'em for each clap you need, insuring that each hit won't sound the same. I have had good results using a small number of people to generate the sound of a large group using ideas like this one.

I once did a very convincing version of this. It was in a gospel inspired setting. Using a 4 track recorder (Yamaha CBXD5) a friend and I got on the mic while playing back the track and clapped along for about 8 bars. We did this on 4 different passes to different tracks and then merged them together.(If you are using a 4 track cassette you can do the same thing by sampling off the 4 tracks into the ASR) We then repeated this whole process another 3 times. The equivalent of 32 clappers. I then found what I thought was the best sounding bar or two, (not too tight and not too loose) and looped that, balanced the volume (there was a drum kit present) and then stuck the claps through a multi tap delay with a very short delay time. The effect was most realistic. If you don't have a multi tap delay you can use a reverb that has lots of early reflections. BTW the whole recording thing took about 15 minutes, and you get the added satisfaction of saying "I did it myself".....

This is an interesting comment from your "(ex-) Ensoniq dealer", especially since 8th Street Music has never been an authorized Ensoniq dealer - at least not in the last 8 years. The staff I've encountered there are generally clueless regarding keyboards, and apparently even more clueless regarding their own relationship with Ensoniq (or lack thereof). If there is one universal truth on this planet, it is that keyboard salesmen are totally incapable of providing factual information on products they don't sell, and on companies they don't carry. And it's usually a minor miracle to get truthful information about products which they *do* sell. On another note, I've decided to redo my Ensoniq Resources Web page - hopefully in the next week or two. I'll be reorganizing and rechecking all my links, and adding more. If any of you want or know of any pertinent Web links to be added, let me know.

Emu's sampler offerings are quite strong, with 3 or 4 different samplers in addition to their impressive synth products. Ensoniq seems to have the edge in sound cards, audio recording, and basic technologies (they have an ASIC design group). I think that this is a *very* smart move by the parent company to diversify into the electronic sound markets, but I would also think it would likely be the end of Ensoniq samplers and synths. This is all pure conjecture - I have no direct knowledge of the motives of Ensoniq, Emu, or the parent company.

Yeah, that's all true. I do think that Roland dumped it's agreement with Iomega for similar reasons why the Jaz stopped working with Ensoniq's. Iomega isn't known as the most compliant company. I have been using a Jaz for about 8 months, and am rather pleased with it. I have used Jaz's with a VS-880, and am not so pleased. Perhaps Iomega doesn't respond to Roland well enough for Roland.

I just found out that the Ensoniq soundscape soundcard does not work with the Cubase VST that i just purchased, well I would like to know what digital card does anyone recommend for use with Cubase. I was looking at that gals at Event. (i.e. Gina, Darla, and Layla (which is not out yet)) I wanted both audio inputs and MIDI inputs but from what i here something like Layla is the only card/rack that does that! Second, Does anyone know of a mailing list or news group with Roland A-90EX stuff on it? I cant seem to find much about the A-90 either..

I obtained it rather quickly (2 to 3 weeks) from Ensoniq. All I had to do was send an E-mail to Ensoniq customer service requesting the "Sysex Bible" and they sent it to me free of charge. It provides me with enough information to program my Peavey PC-1600x MIDI controller to manipulate pretty much every instrument, bank, sequence parameter in _real time_ (that's right, the ASR-X can kiss my ass!). I wonder if this is the "development" tool you fellas are lusting for. Note: The document does not provide substantial info on sysex control of the effects. I do not know why this is.

The SYSEX implementation will allow you to manipulate all button-press type operations on any of the instruments or effects, if there is not a specific SYSEX code for that operation you can resort to the "button-push" sysex codes. This is not even close to what Ensoniq and WaveBoy do when they generate new effects algorithms using the DSP chip, which is REAL programming in machine language and not at all comparable to sending SYSEX commands to the box. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Yes, I understand that there is a deeper level of real programming that drives the ASR-10. I can also understand why _this_ information might not be made available to the public. My suprise is at the lack of information about sysex control of effects in the Sysex Manual which is so detailed in other areas such as instrument, sequence, bank control. Since, as you state above, "it is not even close to what Waveboy and Ensoniq do" to make a living, why can't I get the info?

All I had to do was send an E-mail to Ensoniq customer >Note: The document does not provide substantial info on sysex control of the >effects. I do not know why this is. Don't confuse sys-ex with hacking the effects files proper. Currently the EPS/ASR sys-ex struggles with editing the effects parameters real time. You have up to 9 parameters to edit - and even so, most of the time the sound does not change unless you edit them with the front panel. Internally (and I'm honestly guessing here), the EPS/ASR uses a "mapping" device to map outside interfaces (buttons, sliders, and sys-ex) to the proper "channels" within the OS and/or internal chip. It is no coincidence that the 9 effects parameters you can edit are the same ones - in order - that use the Quick-Edit mappings, i.e. EDIT-EFFECT-1 brings up REVERB MIX BUS1, etc. You will also notice that that is how ALL the buttons are mapped - - identically to the sys-ex functions. My conclusion is that Ensoniq has a great design with there EPS/ASR models, but they did stop short in making it fully accessible via sys-ex. There is evidence of design that they could make it work completely, but I am sure they ran out of justifiable resources to finish (finsih in MY definition) the whole thing. I'm sure their reasoning was "not enough people would use those features for us to justify finishing them". >Politics governing decisions on Mount Malvern? Say it ain't so! Well, you can't argue with that decision. I don't respect them for it, but I don't blame them, either. >I suggest contacting Ensoniq to get this document.

Has experience with that ? >As i know the Ensoniq Samplers uses the Motorola 68000, so that you >could use an normal Gnu C - Compiler to create own software Wanted to make a comment of this "development kit" stuff... The only thing Ensoniq has published officially (that you can get) is the External Command Spec. That contains all the MIDI sys-ex information, most of the details on the file format, and a small bit on the SCSI communication. It's sure worth having. Recently, Ensoniq has made the EPS schematics available. $125. Don't know how valuable these would be, but at least they are out there. The example given above from the Keys magazine originates from the author of the Prosoniq effects that appeared briefly and disappeared. (For a full story of these, go to http://www.soundcentral.com/~chickeneps/prosoniq.html) Effects files can be called "plug-ins" to the EPS/ASR operating system. They use a combination of 68K code and the Ensoniq ESP code. The 68K stuff is well documented and anybody who knows enough or can spend the time can write code that can be compiled into the effects file (e.g. the memory monitor example). Ensoniq has not documented their ESP chip details, so that portion is anyones guesswork. So to answer Sean's original question - hacking the OS and/or effects files is no mean feat, and Mr. Prosoniq is the only one to my knowledge to successfully do it. It's not easy to do, but the call is out for anyone to try. As for the Prosoniq demo, that contains pirated code of Waveboy's effects, so please don't even consider downloading it - let's respect Waveboy and the good work the they do by paying for their work honestly.

I've got an EPS16+, and much as I love this black box, I'm in the market for a new sampler. What I'm looking for is: Resonant filters Re-sampling Nice/wacky effects Decent SCSI Ease/Speed of use etc. etc. I was looking at the new Yamaha A3000, which seems very popular, but the A3K list are moaning about the SCSI speed, and the regular loss of data with zip disks (Yep, I got a Zip drive). Also it's missing transwaves and alternate keyboard scales, and has a strange OS. The Kurzweils looks nice, but are pricey and getting old now. Hence I re-evaluated the ASR-X. When this came out, I pretty much ignored it, since I thought it would be a drum machine with cut-down sampling. I had a tinker with one today at a local store, and was impressed with the filters (do they self-osillate?) and pads, but the guy had no manual for it, so could only show me the ROM stuff; we couldn't even get onto the sample editing pages. Can anyone tell me what nice ASR/EPS bits they've missed out on the ASR-X? (I read that cross-fade looping ain't in there, or time-stretching... but if it works nicely with a PC editor I could manage without them :-) Also, do you think it's a good idea to use one as a main samper/ replacement for an EPS16+? I love all the detailed editing you get with my EPS16+, and am loathe to compromise. How about the SCSI on the ASR-X? Good? Bad? How about a Win95/Zip/ASR-X SCSI chain - good idea? I was hoping my next sampler would have a nicer screen, but the ASR-X would be a down-grade! How do people feel about Ensoniqs stature/future in the industry right now? I hear they're now owned by Creative, so will they get merged with Emu? From digging around the net, it seems Ensoniq stuff isn't as popular as it once was... Do I want to invest in an expensive purchase from a company that could be winding up soon? I realise I've put far too many question marks in the above, but I suppose it just shows how difficult choosing a sampler is now - they're all pretty good.

The joystick port adapter is not really a joystick port adapter, it is a sound card adapter that allows both MIDI and joystick access. I believe that is why it is cheaper, because the MIDI hardware is on the sound card. For a serial port interface, the interface has to contain some hardware to convert the RS232 protocol to MIDI protocol. As to which is better, that depends on your sound card. Many of the older, less expensive sound cards have minimal MIDI compatibility in order to save money. However, I had no problem with my SB 16 or with my newer Crystal Audio built-in sound cards. The serial port interface may work just as well, but be sure that you have a dedicated IRQ for that port (same is true for the sound card, of course). One potential problem is that alot of software assumes that the MIDI port will be on IRQ 9, which is not available to most serial ports.

I'm about to have Cubase audio XT installed on my Power Mac G3. I use an SQ-1 keyboard to play my ASR 10 sounds. I DON'T want to use the SQ-1's internal sounds. (SQ-1 MIDI OUT to ASR 10 MIDI IN) I have a midi converter box with 1 input and 2 outputs. Now, how can I plug everything so that I can play everything from the SQ-1 (the ASR 10 sounds) and have it sequenced with Cubase? Therefore, hearing the sequences from the ASR outputs. The only way I know right now is to constantly unplug the SQ-1 keyboard, when I want to hear the sequences.

That way the computer always controls what you hear, and the keyboard always is the input to the computer. I don't know how Cubase works, but on my system when I boot I get straight through from IN to OUT (I default to MIDI Through ON), and then when I start Cakewalk the IN is always mapped to the channel of the currently selected track. This works perfectly for me, except when I want to play sounds from my keyboard. I need that splitter of yours so I can split the computer output to both my module and my keyboard...

The parity chip is the very last chip on the board (if you are looking at it with the connector facing you and chips facing up)-it should have a different chip number on it as well. If you remove it the SIMM will turn into a non-parity SIMM. Alternatively, you can cut the power pin of the parity chip if you don't want to remove the entire chip (I'm not sure which corner it is though, but you could cut all four just to be sure). I had a SIMM module that I was testing in a tester once that had 3 chips, but the tester said it was non-parity. Examining the chip with my eyes found a bad solder connection on the parity chip, so I applied a slight amount of pressure to it while it was in the tester, and then it was read as a parity chip. Resoldering the bad pin and the SIMM has worked fine as a parity SIMM to this day. Of course I wouldn't recommend removing the chip unless you are sure that these SIMMs will never be used for anything else other than your ASR, which nowadays isn't too big of a concern I don't think.

( If not sorry) , but anyway when I first used it, it seemed to be doing the same thing as loop forward. The sample would play to the loop and then keep looping as normal but when I released the key it would stop as normal. So I went to Env3 the TIMES page and set the last number to 99 ( ex. TIMES = 0 0 0 0 99) and this did the trick. Now if I hold down a key it will play to the loop and loop normally as long as I hold down the key and when I release the key the sample will play to the end.(ex. If I had a sample of me saying 'loop and release' I could loop the word 'and' , then it would 'sound' something like this-> loop and, and, and, and, release. the word 'and' would loop until I let the key go and then the sample would play through the word 'release' I hope some of this makes sense to you , And good luck !!

The Ensoniq cannot deal with partitions. It wants and will take the whole physical drive. There isn't any software that can make it otherwise, since it is the incapability of the Ensoniq OS itself to do this.

In "Loop & Release" mode, the "loop" portion of the sample has to be somewhere BEFORE the end of the sample, otherwise there is obviously no "release" portion to be played when you release the key. Wherever you are in the loop, when you release the key, the sample will play from this point to the end, as in "Forward" mode. It doesn't "jump" to any start or end point. Then, the envelopes (amp, but check also filter) must allow the sound to be auditioned : choose "Finish" mode, or set the 5th time parameter, or go to 2nd release, or use all of them if you want. Start Loop start Loop end Release (end) !________________!___________________________!___________________! (Hit the key) (Hold the key) (Release the key) As the "release" part can hardly be modulated, you could prefer editing it and copy it in "Key up" layer. In many cases the "key up" solution is much more interesting than the "Loop & release" (at least for my personal taste=8A) Hope it's clear and helping, Raino, Hello to Vienna and sorry for my approximative english.

I believe there is nothing illegal in doing so. - - Then, I would not recommend updating from 7.x.x. to OS8, I mean it's much healthier to deinstall & save everything, format your disk entirely and then install OS8 from scratch, especially if you use an international version of Mac OS. You'll avoid conflicts and double files (I tried to move from 7.5.3 to OS8 and as a result I got one "Sytem Folder" PLUS one "Dossier Syst=E8me"...). - - The system itself seems very stable. Only it's installation behaves strangely sometimes : some control pannels might be missing, but if you reinstall they'll be there... - - The interface and a few utilities are nice, but you sure could live without. (I could). Some incompatibilities are already known (for instance with Logic V.2.0), no doubt that others will be found. As for me and until now, the most enjoyable part of OS8 is in the use of Internet : incredibly easy setup, no more crashes, smooth access to all the fancy pages with java, VR, sound & other funs. I hope there are enough Mac users in the list, I'm sincerely sorry for the bored others !

I suppose the info is the same for the ASR but I can't find the thing. Otherwise, can anyone explain how to store the program changes in a sequence (LogicAudio 2.6 for win) neccessary to recall a certain bank of sounds in the EPS from an external SCSI storage device? I don't understand how one uses a macro file differently than a directory. - Do you send the macro file number plus 100 first? - -If so does the program change for the directory or the bank follow next? - -When formatting a SCSI drive which one do you create first? MACRO----DIRECTORY 1----BANK 1 ----INSTURMENT 1 ----INSTURMENT 2 Any insight much appreciated. **************************************BlueAlienHouseInc. ***** ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

The Ensoniq's ASR/TS/EPS do not use partitions (in a traditional way). Further, no OS for the Mac or PC can use partitions in a traditional sense if there are Ensoniq data on the drive. Your disk can thus normally contain (ASR xor ( Mac or PC )) data. Technically it is possible to use the same disk for both ASR and Mac data, I've done it, but not through standard partitions. It is of limited value to Sam Ricci to know since I have no possibility to serve him. Maybe somebody else can. I made a driver which will treat your drive as a special device and acess only the 'top' part of it, ( while your MacOS thinks it acesses the 'bottom'). You also need to Ensoniq format the drive to a capacity less than the full capacity, meaning not with the ASR.

Right. >-If so does the program change for the directory or the bank follow next? >-When formatting a SCSI drive which one do you create first? > MACRO----DIRECTORY 1----BANK 1 > ----INSTURMENT 1 > ----INSTURMENT 2 The technique is: 1) Record a macro that goes to your directory where your file that you eventually want to load exists. 2) Add 100 to the macro number, and send a program change with that number to the EPS/ASR, while the MIDI-IN MODE is MULTI.

Now, what am I missing here? This is posted at http://www.soundcentral.com/~chickeneps/zip16pls.html Ensoniq posts on their compatibility list that the Zip series from Iomega is NOT compatible with the EPS 16-Plus. This is true if you simply hook a ZipDrive alone with a 16-Plus equipped with the SP-1/2 SCSI Interface. The problem is that the data connection is not strong enough for reliable SCSI transmission. However, there is hope. There are 4 possible solutions to this dilemma: 1) Chain another SCSI Device in the chain. This will probably provide the buss with the termination power the Zip needs to work. 2) Get a POWERED SCSI termination device. One can be had for $60 from APS, please call 800-554-3943, ask for part #1009-017 and part #101173. They do not sell outside the US - in that case, contact RCS - we can import it to you. 3) By a new EPS SL-1 SCSI interface, from SoundLogic, RCS, or other dealer. This is a new design of EPS SCSI interface that incorporates the below solution. 4) There is a electronic modification, posted at http://www.soundcentral.com/~chickeneps/zip16pls.html that has proved to work for many people.

This is absolutly true! I picked up 2 4meg SIMMs at the local computer shop for my ASR10. When I got home and installed them, they didn't work. Turns out, they were the 3 chips on a SIMM instead of the 'old' 8 (or 9) chips on a SIMM. So, I opened my MAC LC (w/10megs RAM) and swapped.

Also, the ASR-X does not save Insert Efects - let's hope thatt changes. The other in-ASR-X translation issue is the envelopes - I find it a little inaccurate when it comes to electric piano/piano type sounds. The ADSR isn't quite perfect. >I just ordered ASR-X tools from rubber chicken software. Hopefully it will >help me fix this. ASR-X Tools provides a cleaner translation of EPS/ASR sounds, in my opinion. Sometimes it's the same as what the ASR-X can do, some of the time better.

But to give you a start, the interleave factor is left over from the older RLL type SCSI drives. Here you had a situation where the Interface was faster then the drive connected to it. This probably isn't the case with the newer drives. They're all around 9 ms access time, and interleave is from the days of 23 ms drives (they were quick ones, in their time). The EPS's interface is now probably one of the slowest around, today. What the interleave factor does is it places the sectors of data on the hard drive so that when the interface is ready to read/write the next sector, the desired sector is next - about to come under the head. The way this is done is if you have an interleave of 2, let's say, with 17 sectors to a track, then the sectors are striped onto the drive as 1, 10, 2, 11, 3, 12, 4, 13, 5, 14, 6, 15, 7, 16, 8, 17, 9 - so that after reading sector one, sector 2 is two sectors away, etc. Usually you'll find the best interleave factor to be between 1 & 3. This learned from experience. How do you determine the best interleave? On the EPS/ASR's it must be done with trial and error. You format the drive, then pick a large sound, like the Bosendorfer Piano, and load that from floppy or another working SCSI drive. Then use a stop watch to time how long it takes to save (write) the sound to the newly formatted HD, and also time how long it takes to load (read) the sound from the HD. Then you re-format the SCSI drive with a different interleave and check the read & write time for the same sound. You'll probably find your best performance (shortest times) at an interleave of 2 or 3 (maybe 1), and then you'll find that an interleave of 4 is horrendous, and it takes forever to either load or save the sound under test. When you get it right, it'll only take a couple of seconds to load an entire bank of sounds with large song - in other words, a huge chunk of memory. If it takes like three or even six seconds to load the test sound, you need to try another interleave. I know that with 1 & 2 gig drives this will mean serious 'go for coffee' time, but I don't know of any other way to fine tune the SCSI/Drive interface. Those of us who used to 'hot-rod' PC's used to spend the same kind of time and tedium with MFM, RLL & SCSI drives.

This parameter is located in the "System Preferences". It sounds as though the sound itself when imported _does_ respond to max velocity, so my guess is that the curve is just too strong for you.

I got two 4x8, 8 chip per SIMM, 30 pin, non parity, 70ns SIMMS. I bought them from the Chip Merchant, 800-426-6375, for $19.00 each. If you order them from somewhere else, make sure you ask for all these specs. Another vendor sent me 4x3s instead of 4x8s. There are no jumpers to set on the board. You just take the others out and plug the new ones in. Just be a little careful with static electricity (touch a grounded metal surface before you take the old chips out), and be careful with the little plastic clips that hold the SIMMS in place. It was a little tricky to open up the synth bottom cover. I unplugged all the chords and tilted the synth forward on a table so that it was resting on its front edge beneath the keys (you have to hold it steady). I then unscrewed all the screws from the back side where all the plugs are and all the screws from the bottom side. Don't unscrew the screws on the sides in the recess between the top and bottom part of the synth. The screws are not all the same, so keep track where each screw goes. It's then easy to take the cover off and you can change the SIMMS while holding the synth standing up on its front edge. If you've done this with a computer its not any harder. Make sure you align the SIMMS with pin #1 on the left and pin #30 on the right as you look at them from the top (you can see this from the old ones too). First put the back SIMM in its socket and tilt it back a little until it snaps into place. Then put in the front SIMM. Don't touch the connector pins on the SIMM. Before you start this, make sure you save all your sequences and any sounds you may have. After you put them in, power up an do a reinitialization (Preset button with top left display button). Now you should have bank S9 for loading samples. I guess if your synth is still under warranty, you'll void it. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Good luck! - -- Marios Kefalopoulos ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

You might have to look out at some of the auction-type sites where vendors get rid of outdated stuff.

Try >a lower numbered vel curve for the pads. Changing the velocity curve does help on these imported sounds. However, I don't really need to adjust the curve for the built in sounds. This leads me to thing that the conversion from and EPS to ASR-X sound is causing the problem. To summarize: ASR-X with 2.53 OS. Ensoniq SD-1 hooked up to MIDI in. 1. Play ASR-X internal (ROM) sounds by using SD-1 keyboard. Velocity is fine. 2. Play ASR-X internal (ROM) sounds by using ASR-X pads. Velocity is fine. No need to adjust velocity curve for pads. 3. Put a .EFE file on a floppy and load into ASR-X. 4. Play EPS sound (loaded from .EFE file) by using ASR-X pads. Have to pound very hard to get good velocity response. If I adjust the velocity curve for the pads, the velocity response is improved. 5. Play EPS sound (loaded from .EFE file) by using SD-1 keyboard. The SD-1 is set to MED-2. If I set the SD-1 to SOFT-1 the velocity response is improved a little, but I still have to bang pretty hard to get the full velocity response. This is especially noticable on Piano and synth sounds. Percussion sounds aren't quite so bad. I have concluded that when the ASR-X loads an EPS sample it translates the velocity response so that the sound will work well with the ASR-X pads. If you use an external keyboard to control the sound, the velocity response is not optimal. If I'm accurate in this assumption, then it would be nice to have a setting on the ASR-X to tell it that the sound is being controlled from an external keyboard. Any thoughts?

I'd agree wtih that. Imported EPS/ASR sounds are worked with a little differently than anything else within the ASR-X.

The "***" is a three letter abrieviation of the controller that will modulate the filter. Page once more to the right and you will be able to set the depth of the control.

Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't answer my question enough. By the way.. is FED Backwards Productions the same as Def Productions? Anyways, let me be more specific. Say I loop a DRUM sample.. the ASR-X lets me specify the starting point as a percentage or an actual 5 digit number 00102 to the end at 99123 or whatever. There is some major fine tuning going on here to get that right first of all. That is if you want the loop to circle perfectly. Then if you want to put that to a sequence, you have another problem. The tempo of the sequence must be so precisely correct or by the end of the song the whole thing will be falling out of time. Is it best to have each measure re-start the DRUM LOOP sample as opposed to looping it through 64 measures? If so, I will get this beat that grooves through once and then breaks for a millisecond and then starts again and then breaks for a millisecond and the starts again.. It sounds in time, but there is that break of silence at the end of each beat.. Does this make any sense or am I confusing the whole issue here? I appreciate any insight you may provide.

Depends on the usage and the sample. Some of 'em have harmonic material that I may or may not want in tune with the rest of the piece. If simply changing the pitch of the sample to line up the BPM is the right sound, that's the easiest way. If I want to preserve or manipulate the pitch in some way (as an "artistic decision"), then I'll load up the Cubase XT or VST "Match Audio to Tempo" function, and use Time Bandit to get it just right (the two programs are linked together in such a way that when you line up the beats visually in Cubase by graphically stretching the sample, the proper stretch/compress value is automatically entered into TB). There's no hard and fast rule to this, just that you use the procedure that works best musically and utilizes the tools you have (I know not everyone has Cubase, Time Bandit, etc etc). About the LAST thing I'd want to do, personally, is use the Time Compression "feature" in the ASR, that's for sure. Same goes for the K2000, BTW. FWIW, Cubase VST, on Mac or PC, sells for about $350 or less at retail. Not sure about Time Bandit....but that system is awesomely cool for doing this kind of thing.

I don't know anything about Cakewalk except that it's another very popular sequencer. As for using "specifically with the 16+", well, the VST/TB idea I was running by y'all has nothing whatsoever to do with the ASR or 16+ or whatever. I much prefer to do this sort of thing in dig audio land than in sample land. The ability to be precise is much better, IMO. For triggering samples, as far as I'm concerned, it really doesn't matter what sequencer you use, as long as you get the sample pitch (groove) right, and trigger as often as possible. Related to Zava's question, you want to retrigger a sampled loop as often as possible, and to hell with the little gaps (if they exist at all - they don't always), they just become part of the texture. If you don't want gaps, use a dig audio sequencer like VST and get Time Bandit so that you can do the stuff I was talking about earlier. You can even stretch or compress individual beats with that stuff, which you'd go crazy trying to do with a sampler (though it IS do-able). Recycle is another program that people like to use for this stuff. In that case, Recycle will chop up your groove into little bitty samples, send the individual samples to your sampler, and write a MIDI seq file that plays them at their original tempo. You can then alter the seq file any way you like to change the pattern, change the tempo, etc etc. You think you get gaps with a retriggered sample, try slowing down a recycled groove by 10-15 bpm....you'll have gaps all over the place, and sometimes they sound cool. >Also, what does the Time Bandit do that the >matching function in these programs doesn't? Hmmm....apples and oranges here. VST and Cakewalk are sequencers that also handle digital audio (VST anyway...don't know if Cakewalk does or not). Time Bandit is a pitch shift/time compansion (compression/expansion) program that performs data transformations on waves in the dig audio program, and works in conjunction with VST (is linked to VST). Using VST AND TB gives you the most powerful groove creation tool I've ever used, much better that the old Synclavier that I got rid of 3 years ago. I think maybe that the discussion of the non-sampler related issue I've raised here might be better continued off list. Feel free to mail me, and I'll try to elaborate even further.

I've always thought of cakewalk as a sequencer for old fossils- but the new versions seem to have all the modern features of other sequencers. I think Master Tracks pro is one of the easuest sequencers around (and it is inexpensive)- the downside is that the audio ability of the PC version is complete junk (so get the non audio version - or simoly don't use the audio part of the new version). If you want to spend alot of money- you could go with opcode's vision for PC- but I don't think it is as easy to use as master tracks. Alternatively- there are a few free/shareware sequencers for the PC on the net- you could save a few $$ there if you're adventurous. anyone else have a vote for an easy to use PC sequencer ???????? ********************************************** T.

I'm not sure what you mean about using a harddrive to access a CD ROM, but you should be able to add an external CD Rom via your SCSI port, just like a hard drive. Most SCSI devices will allow you to chain if you use a different ID for each device. You may have to make some adjustment to terminate the chain. Any device manufacturer should provide this info. I haven't looked at it for awhile, but I think the EPS can only look at one SCSI device at a time. You have to point it to a specific SCSI device ID.

I also have a joystick/midi port adapter, for SB AWE32 (2MB RAM) and EPS16+ (2MB RAM too) plugged in. Works perfectly. Your midi songs CAN be using EPS for playing, depends on the software you're using and on midi songs, which midi ports they use. 1st of all, those midi songs are all GM, and EPS16+ is anything but GM, it has no samples in ROM of course :) Ok in w95, you play midi songs with media player, in control panel/multimedia, you can set which midi port it will send data to. If you select "external MIDI port" then the midi data will be played on EPS. But it's not so simple at all hehe you have to load correct instruments, know what channels use which instruments, set EPS to midi in mode = multi, it would be more appropriate if you play songs with a sequencer, where you can exactly see which track uses which instrument and then you load instruments to EPS accordingly. From your message, what you want IS possible but would not be perfect and would take you A LOT of time before the song plays succesfully.

All ISA slots will be used, so I won't be able to transport the MPU-401 interface card I've been using for years. Izy says his card works fine, but I've heard rumors that the MPU-401 emulation on the soundcards is not as efficient as a dedicated midi interface, and that there is a greater risk of midi overflow if you push it. I'll want to be able to use all 16+ instruments at once, along with maybe other instruments on the other channels, so the data stream may get fairly dense. Anyone ever find a soundcard's midi port to choke up the 16+? (My sequencer will probably be Cakewalk or Cubase. My card will probably be the AWE64.) Thanks.

The "clack" is audible because your Wavesample starts with a non-zero sample (correct me if I am wrong). Try playing with the Amp Env: set first level to 00, second level to 99 and time to 00 or 01.

With "auto loop finding" enabled, you can have the EPS/ASR automatically find the zero crossings in the wave for you. Go to the "edit wav" page, and then to "loop start" (even if you're not gonna loop it). After making sure that the "loop end" parameter is at the extreme end of the sample, underline the "samples" field (not the one in parenthesis), and use the up arrow to step through values. You'll get a series of zero crossings, instead of stepping one sample at a time. Then, enter values one at a time into the "sample start" page until you find the one you want that works best.

You're encounting some basic physical laws of sampling, I'm afraid:=20 Each sample has a value centered around a theoretical zero-axis. Each sample represents a certain amount of energy (=3Damplitude) of an "analogue" soundwave. If you start your wavesample on a point where this amplitude is zero (or at least nearby), there will be almost no artefacts like "clicks". BTW, the EPS helps you finding these "zero crossings" by suggesting only acceptable start-points as long as you change start- or end-values by percentual values, not by single samples.=20 If you don't start at one of these optimal values, you create a wavesample with a very sudden beginning - a sharp rise from zero to a much higher value, thus creating a previously inexistant amount of high freqencies at this very point (... the "click"). Now - if you try to _modulate_ an otherwise perfect starting point, the EPS has no chance to find only optimized (... click-free) values, but has to take any given start point. What you get is the result you described before. Possible workarounds: try to increase the attack-time of your amp-envelope, as somebody suggested earlier (... edit*env3*, set the first amp-value to zero and the first time-value to something like 5), or use start-modulation only on synthetically created wavesamples like Transwaves .... but this is a completely different story. Bottom line: love it or leave it ;-) Hope this helps! /Dietz - Austrian Sound Library for EPS/ASR Dietmar -Dietz- Tinhof Music-SoundEngineering-SoundDesign - -!-T-H-E--M-O-S-T--C-O-L-O-U-R-F-U-L--P-L-A-C-E--O-N--W-W-W-!- --- http://www.atnet.at/club/dietz ---=20 ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Supposing that this works on an ASR like it does on an EPS, this is a simple task: Scroll to the questionable file like you do for loading. Press the "Load" button, and while _you're still holding it down_, press the "No" button. The ASR-display should ask you at this moment if you really went to delete the selected file. Press "Yes". Be careful, though: There's no way for mere mortals to recover a deleted file from this disk.

I'm not sure (I apologize if I'm wrong) but it seems to me that in "auto loop" mode, the EPS/ASR founds zero points also for sample start, at least if you use the up-down buttons, (not the slider) to navigate in the wavesample. So, no need to go to "loop" parameters. On the other hand, a theorically "zero" point can sometimes produce a click anyway, and you'll have to work with your ear to find manually a clickless point. I personnaly found no other way to eliminate those clicks than softening the attack (Level 1 = 0, Time 1 > 0). Seems that when you want to modulate start points, you cannot get a really fast transient attack. On the other other hand (provided you have 3 hands), remember that the up/down buttons behave subtely differently than the silder. This is especially important when you have to be careful with the "level" at which you want to edit a parameter (single wavesample, layer, pair of layers, whole instrument). Just my 2 (euro)cents.

I did this (an informal group of EPS/ASR users) in 1991ish. A good friend of mine organized it. And we had featured "lectures" on how to do cool things. We met at a music store (with the gear already there). I spoke and we all shared experiences. It was fun.. but getting everyone to agree on a TIME to meet that jibed with everyone's schedule was a nightmare (like having a band kindof.... he.he..)

Marshal, The Rez Filter I and many others talk about on the list is the Rez Filters effects made by waveboy, that come on a floppy and load in as a bank effect. The EPS has filters, but they are just band pass filters (or something) and you cant control the resonance. The Rez filter effect gives you a resonance filter effect like that found on old analouge synths. This sound is used quite alot in Dance music. The Rez effects disk is one of the coolest things I have for my EPS. I have a few other of the Waveboy effects disks and they are all really good. I hope this is of some help to you.

I would love to share my own experiences on this but i have none yet, but you guys will be the first to know once i get the ball rolling where i live. Brother Richard Hilton had mentioned NY, and brother HIAS had mentioned Hamburg, germany! Wow people are so wide spread, I hope all this pans out! I would suggest one guy or gal in a particular area maybe picking up the reigns and working on this locally and come to us the group as a sounding board for solutions. Another issue that was brought up by Uncle Viceroy was about getting a local music store to set up stuff and then getting a cool time for everyone! First, There are two ensoniq dealers that i can think of that i could go to in my area, (which BTW is about 40 min. South of Chicago, because no one knows where Cedar Lake, IN is!) ok two dealers and i have no respect for either of them! Because they wouldn't even know how to load sounds into the keyboards. I have been to both places and it seems that there is a lack of knowledgable individuals in the keyboard/midi industry in my geographic location. (i.e. i went to the one place and i was showing the wannabe keyboard salesman how to load sounds into the ASR10 and i don't even own an ASR10, and the other place has to look in the manuals to get the answers, so basically i know as much or more than the keyboard jockeys in my area. Now i understand the purpose of these groups are to educate people, but we need a Ensoniq brainiac to help us out b4 we can help ourselves. I still consider myself new, as a matter of fact i have had my TS-12 for prob. about 3 yrs. and i am just now understanding a very little bit how to use the darn thing. and that is just from playing around, I really have no solid base to reference from. Geeze, i am babbling, ok the time issue. well I would suggest maybe having two different meetings lets say in a month to maybe cover the people who can't make the first meeting. other than that i would say that whoever misses is out of luck. sorry! Ok bottom line is, if this is going to work we need doers not followers, and we also need some dependable sources of information. So i am asking whoever reads this, what do i do about the music stores?, times?, knowledgable people?, and getting all that together for each geographic region!????? Your Turn! ;) Have a good one!

Rather than going into the whole SampleBank story, suffice it to say that we aren't the original maker. 3D Sounds has the copyright. For our benefit, we made a Ensoniq-formatted version of SampleBank, and thought it necessary to make a manual for it. The PC version, which you are referring to, has a little manual which you proably have - which could use for info. We are looking into supporting the SampleBank CD further - perhaps for the ASR-X, and then maybe there would be another better manual - probably available for a small fee.

No... 1) Load any instrument into the EPS/ASR, select it 2) Press EDIT - you get the EDIT screen (xxxxxx LYR=x WS=x) 3) Hit EDIT, then EFFECTS, then any keypad key 0-9 QUICKLY If the selected effect is HALL REVERB, if you hit EDIT-EFFECTS-3, you will get the DECAY TIME page. TO answer your original question, what this gives us is the PARAMETER VALUE for the sys-ex command to edit it. In this example, the PARAMETER VALUE of 3 would edit the DECAY TIME in the HALL REVERB algorithm. The sys-ex code would be this (in HEX): F0 0F 03 (MIDI CHANNEL-1) 11 00 00 00 00 00 01 30 03 00 00 00 01 F7 This changes the DECAY TIME to 1.

Led Zeppelin, second album Jaz Drives made before 1997 work with Ensoniq keyboards. After January 1997, the firmware was changed - now they do not work with the EPS/ASR, but they work with the ASR-X - which Vince Johnson has. BTW, Zips work great with the EPS/ASR (not Original EPS). Poor Iomega - they keep changing their firmware - they had a big deal with Roland, but apparantly that is off - Roland couldn't rely on Iomega drives - - either for the firmware reasons or hardware reliability issues.

That person can let everyone know their e-mail address and we could all forward our information to them. Once the list is compiled (and sorted by location), send it out to everyone. Each entry on the list should include name, E-Mail address, country, city, state (if applicable), and equipment. Once everyone gets the list, everyone will know who is in their area and can e-mail just those people to see who is interested. Do I hear a volunteer to compile the list?

I will say that they do have ALOT of instruments to know.. and I'll cut them some slack there (but loading sounds.. Puh-lease- did'nt they go to Ensoniq school to get certified ?).- Anyway If the dealers are jerks... there's nothing you can do there.. You may be able to put a flyer in their store that says "forming Ensoniq user group" and put your # on it- then pow-wow with those who are interested- and find a local studio to host your group. If the dealers are not jerks (Nice but clueless)- that may work to your advantage- sell them on the benefits they could reap by having the group meet there.. (more customers.. special deals for the customers.. insert marketing plan here). Chicago must be a big town- increasing your chances of finding ensoniq users- try phoning some studios and informing them of the group that is forming (you may find knowledgable help by asking the studio if they could spare a one-time guest lecturer for a meeting). Lots of possiblities.. and legwork. fill us in on your successes if you choose to travel this road. ********************************************** T.

Now you know why I'm nuts about the ASR-X - which, ironically, doesn't have play-while-load. =( I'll always keep my 16-Plus - it operates nice and tight. Bit of tricia - Oberheim was about the last major manufacturer to jump on the MIDI bandwagon. Their reason was "our proprietary interface doesn't have that 10ms or so delay that MIDI does. That's why our instruments operately so sharply together." That's a great way for a company to think - QUALITY.

Getting the ASR-X Tools program would be the best option for you. You can: 1) Load an EPS/ASR disk in, and have it automatically translate the whole disk for you and put it to the DOS removable drive, in the ASR-X type directories. This is better than the X itself, where you have to translate one sound at a time. 2) If you have an Ensoniq-formatted CD-ROM (EPS/ASR), it can translate that entirely with one button press, also.

I would like to have the flash bank option. I actually would like to have all the options for my EPS 16+, It is a great instrument. I really like all the modulation you can do with sample and loop starts ect.. I think they can help you get sounds you cant really get on other samplers. I hope to get a newer more expandable sampler soon, But I will keep my EPS to use as a single instrument, which should be better since I can use all the memory and FX, and polyphony <-sp? on one sound, (well ok maybe two sounds :) Oh was I going on ? sorry Roger Moore 'PjHD' -> http://greene.xtn.net~pjhd/ ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

This is good. I don't really have the time to organize this myself, but once a listing of NY area folks who desire this service becomes solidified, I'll help with the participation/instructional end. If enough people show up on Long Island, where I live, I MIGHT be willing to use my little home studio for this purpose, depending on the number of people involved (it's really small and cramped up here). I have an ASR rack and a TS-12 here, as well as an MR rack and a DP/4. The retailers here (basically, Sam Ash) may become induced to do this (I know a lot of the folks there, including the store manager of the local branch, and worked for them back when the Oberheim 4-voice was a new product, in the Mesozoic era). Then again, they may not (I'm sure they wouldn't think they need the attention or the training). >First, There are two ensoniq dealers that i can think of that i could go to >in my area, (which BTW is about 40 min.

I don't know about the heat, not being an owner of an ASR-X (the ASR10 gets hot enough to pop corn or fry eggs on) but a slight brownout courtesy of your local power company will likely cause it to crash and you'll lose everything you've worked so hard on. >I have five Res-Filter questions: >- --------------------------------- >1) So the res-filter plug-in is software? yes. >2) Does it upgrade the ASR-X OS then or what?

You can make a nice big synth pad from a tiny sample. 2) When adding variations on a basic instrument and storing them in the same instrument, copy the parameters of the wavesample only (not WS and data). 3) Sample at a lower sampling rate. 4) Sample in mono. Those are the first few I can think of. Og - -- ====================================================================== Gerry Valle Quantum Consulting, Inc.

Hi guys, greetings from Montreal! Sorry for the long posting, but I am new to this list and I got lots of questions... I am a long time EPS16+ user (since 92). Useless to say that I am very pleased with the product. I consider this device as my best buy ever (all categories included: house, cars, etc). I scored dozens of short animation films and corporate videos using the EPS. I do both music and soundtracks (ambiance, SFX and even voice overs!). I record in my project studio: ADAT, Tascam mixer, sync boxes, PC sequencer (cakewalk 6.01), outboard fx, ...the usual! Over the years, I gathered a important library of sounds (some bought, some of my own) and a pretty darn good bank of home grown sound effects. All of this stored on 88 Mb removable Syquests drives. I recently discovered all these wonderful Ensoniq resources over the net. So, I am new to this EDE stuff and some of my questions will sound pretty stupid to all of you. But it's just great to see that I am not alone in the EPS world! Ok, let's get to the meat of all this... 1) For about a year now, I've been experiencing a small noise at the very end of the sounds. At first, I thought that I was using a poor quality sample, but after a while, I realized it was doing it on each and every sound I had. It is like a little "buzz" very low in amplitude after a note is released, in the ending decay. Anyone has had the same problem? Any hardware I should change: Opamp, caps? 2) I have lots of .EDA (ASR) disk files on my PC. Of course they are meant to be saved on DS/HD disks. The EPS reads only DS/DD disk. I am able to extract the "instruments" from the EDA files and sometimes save them on DS/DD disks. However, some instrument files are bigger than the total disk space. The question is: How can I split a .EFE/.EFA file to make it fit on two DS/DD disk? What utility should I use? Where can I download it from? Etc. 3) Recently, I've been requested to compose and record some music for a children theater play (why not!). They made the mandate quite clear: "we want the music and songs to be Disney-like". Fine with me! Everything is pretty much scored, but I am now in the need for good (very good) orchestral sounds. Where can I get that? Is there anything usable at "soundcentral"? I need: Pizz'd strings, french horn sect., Brass sect. 4) Any of you guys using Cakewalk as their sequencer? What instrument definition could I use to access the sounds (program change) on the SCSI Drive? I have a ton of other questions, but I don't want to fill up the list...Another time maybe!

Also, difficult to loop sounds, like cymbals, can be looped pretty well with the synthesize loop function. 4) If you're sampling drum loops, you can get longer and more varied grooves by taking a breakbeat butcher approach. Although this is very time consuming (actually just about any method to squeeze out space is fairly laborious), the results of chopping out usable drum snippets and reconstructing your own grooves can be very rewarding. 5) Rather than copying the entire sample data to get thicker layers, most of the time a copy of the parameters will work just as well. The parameters take up only a few blocks, as opposed to twice the space for a data copy. 6) Turn the aftertouch off on the drums and other instruments that aren't going to effectively use this feature. This is a continuous controller event and eats up a pretty good chunk of memory. Oh, and avoid using a lot of pitch bends for the same reason. 7) The sequencer, at least on the EPS series, is pattern based; if your music will allow it, take advantage of it. If you construct your songs thinking in an old school drum machine fashion you'll shave a little space there. 8) This might not work for your style of music, but works pretty well for mine. With sounds and patterns, I tend to want to jam as much going on as I can. This results in sort of a very busy bee, flabby, mush wall of sound (i.e. sounds like crap). What I force myself to do is: if I can't really hear it anymore, cut I it out. This frees up space and clarifies my over all sound. Anyway, that's all I think of off the top of my head, but I'm certain there are boatloads of other tips. Anyone else?

Would you happen to know what type of connector the SCSI is on the TS, SCSI, SCSI 2, SCSI 3? If it is not SCSI 2 do they make a converter to get to a 2 which is on the back of the external.

With the waveforms optimized for transwave modulation, you can get almost true resonant filters, and other sweepable and other effects POLYPHONICALLY. It's almost better in some ways to the Waveboy Rez Filter. Get it from Waveboy or dealer (RCS is one).

Thanks to all of you for being so helpful! It's great to have a list full of people who are as nice as you people :-) I have a few questions and I'm just going to cut the chase. 1) If I get the Waveboy rez filter and load it as a BANK EFFECT, I can copy it to an instrument, but can't save it that way. If I modify the effect, and want to save it, I have to copy the modified effect to the BANK. I understand that much, but... The every time I want to load that effect into an instrument, I have to load the instrument, then load the effect as a bank effect, then copy the effect? Or can I save the instrument with the new effect? If I can't save the new effect with the instrument, if (when) I get a SCSI hard drive, can I save each instrument with the rez filter (or any other modified effect) and load the instrument with macros, so I don't have to load the instrument, load the bank effect, and then copy it to the instrument? (meaning, can I make a macro that will load the instrument, then load the bank effect, then copy the bank effect to the instrument - or am I way off track here?) 2) I think I'm getting the next part but I need to ask anyway, since the manual isn't doing the best job of answering my questions. Is it possible to have separate effects in separate instruments, all playing at the same time, even though they're going through the same BUSSES? I'll give you an example so you know what I mean: Let's say I have 7 instruments loaded and I've recorded a sequence (song, whatever) and the sequence uses all 7 instruments(tracks), but each instrument has it's own effect. If they're all set so that the EFFECT is INST, will that change depending on which instrument is selected (if any while playing back the sequence) or does the last effect loaded "take over" or can they all have independent effects operating at the same time? (I guess I'm confused because I picture the 3 BUSSES as hardware and therefore not being capable of processing more than one type of effect at a time, and I can't really tell when I have 4 instruments playing at the same time, since the music is dominated by a synth sound with chorus anyway... I hope this question is clear enough - it's late, I should have been in bed already ! hehe) Ok, so, um, if I want 44khz delays on instrument one, and hall reverb on inst 2, and have them play with their own effects at the same time, can I do that? ( I guess I could have just said that in the first place, but I'm hoping for a detailed reply as to why or why not the above is true ) 3) This is probably a pretty simple question but I have to ask because I don't know the answer! (did ya guess that much? :) What's wet/dry ??? I can tell the difference when I change the parameters, but is there a better way to describe them? (My EPS 16+ manual mentions it 4 or 5 times but never once defines it) I have many more questions but I'll see if I can find the answers in the manual... (is it me or is the manual really dry reading? I think it must have been written by computer programmers (and I should know because I'm one ;) but it's like they go step by step, as if stepping through a program, and they tend to not detail anything except the basics... I am new to MIDI and new to sampling and somewhat new to playing/recording my own music, so the manual wasn't written for newbies - any suggestions on a book I could read, like maybe music for dummies? (I mean really, the wet/dry question may seem obvious to you, but I've never heard the term before in music) Thanks again for your time and patience! A.J.

I wouldn't say it's my default bank effect, but it's a really nice toy if you like weird, noisy, time & pitch deconstructing and morphing effects. I use it mostly to morph sounds, making them come out from absolute digital noise (or the opposite). The only thing I miss is that it's quite impossible to get not modulation at all, in order to recover the clean original. If you are talking about the Transwaves Library (also by WaveBoy), I like using it each time I need analog synth sounds *&* real time modulation effects. Much less frustrating than sampled analog sounds !

( I guess I >could have just said that in the first place, but I'm hoping for a detailed >reply as to why or why not the above is true ) Let's put it this way: 1 Physical Effects processor 1 Algorithm program avaialble at one time 3 (or more) busses (or paths) through the effect So if you want two or more instruments to play, then you must compromise - you should use the bank effect. Many better musicians than I have stacked two or more instruments while playing live, and still had the INST FX selected - thus getting this LESLIE effect happening on the string-organ layer - no-no. All effects have at least 3 busses - which, depending on the effect, route different effects into the chain. CHOR-REV-DLL does CHOR-REV on Bus 1, REV ONLY on Bus 2, and DLL on Bus 3. The 16-Plus has a AUX output and ROTATE output, and the ASR has 3 AUX outputs. The AUX outputs are always dry. The Waveboy parallel effects disk gives you 4 busses that are effected. >3) This is probably a pretty simple question but I have to ask because I >don't know the answer!

Many better musicians than I have stacked two or more instruments while playing live, and still had the INST FX selected - thus getting this LESLIE effect happening on the string-organ layer - no-no. All effects have at least 3 busses - which, depending on the effect, route different effects into the chain. CHOR-REV-DLL does CHOR-REV on Bus 1, REV ONLY on Bus 2, and DLL on Bus 3. The 16-Plus has a AUX output and ROTATE output, and the ASR has 3 AUX outputs. The AUX outputs are always dry. The Waveboy parallel effects disk gives you 4 busses that are effected. >3) This is probably a pretty simple question but I have to ask because I >don't know the answer!

Usually this incurs vibrato, because the LFO MOD parameter is set to WHEEL or WL+PR =+99, and LFO AMOUNT in the PITCH apge is =+1.0.

How do most of you transfer samples between >your PC and 16+? Well, the 16-Plus does have it easier as far as SCSI communication. It's the ASR that trips everything up. The PC has little if NO support for SCSI transfer of wavesamples. The closest you can get is the RCS Tools programs which can grab a Instrument file from a SCSI storage device, and quickly convert any wavesample to a .WAV or AIFF file. Samplevision for Windows was the only program to support SCSI transfer, but that is not supported, not sold, and gone. Mr. Uncle Viceroy has good experience using a Mac with SCSI transfer, though - I'm sure he might have a comment on this. The Mac has programs that help a bit - PEAK, ASR-SCSI (w/ Infinity), and Alchemy3.

The answer is you simply cant. You can use ONE bank effect at a time, and use the different bus assignments to send each wavesample to a different bus. But if you choose Instrument FX you will be using the effect that is for the instrument you have selected. All the other sounds (on other tracks) will use this effects as well, and will ignore thier own Instrument Effects setting. Whew !

EPS/ASR can send wavesample data and other sys-ex data via SCSI, although on the ASR it's buggy. There is no "SEND FILE" or "SEND INSTRUMENT" protocol.

Yes, i released my first CD last summer. It was mostly just my EPS16+ (sequencing + sampling) and to some degree my ASR 10 that i bought during the time of recording, so there was only one track on the CD that had more than 1.44 - 2MB samples in memory. I did some analouge filtering through a Korg MS -20, and used a Roland r-70 on one track. Many people are shocked when i tell them that most of my songs have only used less than 1.44 MB(to fit into 2 floppies) but its of course doable if you make every sound from scratch, and learn to keep the samples small... It sounds quite good too. For my type of music (breakbeat/ abstract hip hop Drum&bass type) crunching sample rates and lo-fi sounds is the order of the day anyway :-) Now, of course i have a vast memory space available in the ASR, but i have never used more than 8 MB, and i TRY, believe me...well,enough babbling from me.What about others??

I'll be releasing a CD within a year, hopefully only 6 months, but who knows (it's a long story and I'm sure you're not interested ;) And the only thing I plan on using besides my EPS 16+ is my PC for sequencing and recording/mixing. I use my EPS 16+ right now to do the sequencing, but, since I am going to be doing it a la Jean Michel Jarre (meaning I expect that each song will lead into the next) I will have to have a good 500 megs available on my hard drive, since the EPS won't be able to load banks while playing the sequences, etc. In my opinion (mind you, I'm no expert) the EPS 16+ and a PC are all you _need_ to produce a CD, if you have the right software. I'm feel like I'm speaking out of turn here, because I've only had my machine for a little over a month, (so I'm still learning) but if you really think about it, the EPS can do pretty much anything... Or am I wrong there? While I'm at it, I may as well ask: does anyone think I'm deceiving myself by believing that I can do an entire CD with the EPS 16+ by itself (with my PC)? A.J.

So I bought a Darla soundcard. But what if I bought the ASR instead, it already does digital recording. So couldn't I use the ASR to digitize any audio (2 tracks at a time) onto a SCSI hard drive, then take the stuff off the hard drive via RCS disk tools and covert whatever format the ASR "hard disk records" as to .wav? Is this do able? Are there any problems? If this wouldn't work I could always get the optional digital I/O and get one for the computer (cost?). It just seems stupid to buy a sound card to digitize when I already have a sampler and esp. with an ASR which can do it to hard disk.

For realLife samples there should be a method to analyse the harmonics of it and break down to these cycles, simular the Waldorf Wave synth and other software can do.

Well for a very basic answer, the wah effect tries to imitate a wah-wah pedal, and the rez filter, gives you a resounant filter to obtain those cool analog sounds, (.i.e. those bowp-bowp or the same sort of effect but longer, bboooowwwwwwaaaa). If you're asking because you're wondering wether to buy the Waveboy rez disk, my OPINION is definitely get it. The rez filter is great and it also has a FM synthesis effect which allows you to frequency modulate on wave sample with any other, very cool!

Ok, well I talked to Garth (RCS) and found out it is possible to use the ASR in place of your A/D but realized that the output on the SB16 isn't nearly as good as the Darla's. So I'd would need a better sound card for output anyway. But now I have a different question. How mush easier is it to manage files with any of the PC programs out there? Do any of the programs for the PC let you drag and drop EPS instruments on your EPS SCSI hard drive, as I think one for the MAC can? I'm thinking about switching from my EPS 16+ to a syn+sampling sound card. Any thoughts? My main problem with the 16+ is sample management. I have tons of sounds and I make tons of sounds. I'm thinking I could store everything as .wav files and then just transfer them over as I need them, but it seems like it would be easier to just do it all in the PC.

Hey Chris, What's Up! In regards to using the EPS16+ or a computer to sample sounds.... I would think... Whatever piece of equipment you use to sample, will have inherent factors in the creation of wavesamples, that you may notice in the reproduction. Try sampling the same source, using different machines, and then comparing the results. Maybe one way is easier, quicker, than another, or you prefer one way over another. The EPS16+ could become your "PORTABLE" sampler, as it is much easier to transport and setup then a computer. Then sample from it to the computer. Whichever way, I wish you the best.

Yes, there is (at least on the EPS Classic - I assume this feature was carried forward to the ASR-10). I've only done it once and I'm recalling this completely from memory (since I'm at work I can't actually try it). Put each sound you want to "scroll through" on a separate layer. On the edit-amp page (or is it edit layer?), there is a volume mod envelope parameter something like A-B/C-D. The manual only gives the example of crossfading samples up and down the keyboard, but it can be used with any modulator. You need to set the modulator to "wheel" and then set up the envelopes such that varying the position of the mod wheel will vary the amplitude of the layer - and thus the wavesample. A simple example: layer 1's volume mod parameters are: 0-0/0-127. This would give you a curve which resembles a descending sawtooth. As the value of the modulator increases (e.g., the mod wheel is moved "up") the volume of the sample decreases. Layers 2's volume mod parameters are: 0-127/127-127. This results in an ascending sawtooth curve. The volume increases as the wheel is turned. Therefore layer one fades into layer two. A third layer could be introduced with a curve of, say, 0-50/100-127. It would be quiet at the extremes but at maximum volume when the mod wheel is between 50 and 100. You can do this with up to eight layers. Tim ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

All you need to do is copy the sample from the D-50 into a new instrument (create a blank instrument, then a blank layer, and then copy the wavesample into it). You then set the keyboard range for that wavesample to the whole keyboard. Note that keyboard ranges can be set for wavesamples, layers, or instruments. You should be dealing with wavesample parameters here. It is possible that you may need to adjust the pitch parameters too, but I think the default is what you want. There is no need to adjust pitch TABLES unless you are dealing with something other than the even-tempered scale.

I have some questions, and if anyone cares to field them, it would be greatly appreciated. I guess there's no "right answer" (but that's just a guess ;) I have the EPS 16+, and that's it, for creating my music. I don't know enough about it, nor about synths, to determine whether or not I _need_ a synth to get the sounds I want. Can the EPS 16+ act as a true synth or do I _have_ to get a synth to get true synth sounds? I know I sound like a newbie, and that's cuz I am one! heh, but I have a clue as to what I'm doing - I rented an Akai AX 80 years and years ago, as well as a Juno 106, and I've played a Roland D-50, but this is my first sampler experience - it's a long story, but I'll make it short. I've wanted to play/write/record/create music since I was 15. I used to walk to the music store two blocks away and put on headphones and play for hours. I play by ear. I can't read music, yet. I am a computer programmer/analyst/technician, so that helps my understanding of the programming of sounds, but the EPS 16+ manual is pretty basic/general. I got my EPS 16+ because I did some 3D artwork for a guy on the net and he couldn't pay me right away, and I mentioned that when he did pay me, that I was going to buy a synth to put music to the animations that I was going to make for him, and he said he had a studio in his basement. As a joke, I suggested he pay me with the EPS 16+ and to my delight/surprise, he agreed! He sent me the sampler, about 80 diskettes, MIDI cables, pedals, etc. So, I'm learning everything at the same time. I'm learning how to use the machine (sampling, sound programming, sequencer and playing (aftertouch, etc) as well as teaching myself to read music, use my PC's sequencing software and create/record songs that I like, all at the same time. It's a lot... I was hit by a drunk driver Xmas eve 96 and haven't worked since then, so, I have no $$$ to buy a synth. (I may be going back to work soon but for now, I'm broke - and I'm not telling this for sympathy, I'm telling you so you'll know why I'm broke) I may be (finally) getting some compensation for not having worked since the accident and I'm wondering if I have to buy a synth to get the sounds that I want... That may be hard to answer, so I'll rephrase the question. I want to do strictly instrumental, no guitars (unless sampled) and most likely no vocals. If you've heard of Jean Michel Jarre or Mike Oldfield, then you know what I'm talking about. It's going to be hard - I realize that - but not impossible. The question is, can the EPS 16+ do everything a synth can do? If it can, why would anyone buy a synth? If it can't, what are the differences? I am looking for as much detail as I can get here, so please don't give me short answers, unless you know of a web site that I can check for info on the differences, or something like that... I can't really afford to buy a synth, even when(if) I get the insurance settlement, but I will buy one if you tell me that the EPS can't do everything that a synth can do. (I'm going to buy the Waveboy rez filter, and Sonic Demolition (and maybe VODER) etc) If the EPS can do everything that a synth can do, could you give me an example or two? (also, what's the difference between an analog synth sound and a digital synth sound? I hear a lot about the old analog synth sounds and I don't get it, yet :) Ok, now you know how green I am (I'm still figuring out what a mixdown is!) so I think I've exposed my ignorance enough, at least for today ;) One small aside, when I finally got my joystick port MIDI adapter, and tried to record the sequence that I had made on the EPS into CakeWalk Pro, a sound was being produced that I didn't put in the sequence. For all I know it's the metronome... Any ideas? HELP! (-: A.J.

At first, I too only owned a EPS-16+. I have since sold it to cover the cost of more expensive gear, but I still wish I had it. Sometimes you come up with the most creative ideas when you're forced to work within the limitations of the machine you're using. The EPS does have some limitations (not much memory, limited filters) but it also has lots and lots of features that lend themselves to creating great stuff (good effects, transwaves, lots of modulation possibilities). Here's a quick comparison of the difference between a synth and a the EPS-16+. A synth uses a built-in raw sound (usually an oscillator or a rom sample) and manipulates it with envelopes, lof's & filters to modify the way it sounds when it's played. The EPS also has the synth-like ability to shape a sound with filters, lfo's and envelopes but it, for the most part, doesnt have any built in sounds (if i recall, you can generate a tone with the EPS, but I dont remember the details). Instead, you feed a sample into the machine to be the basic sound. In a way, it gives you much more freedom because you can work with any basic sound and modify it, instead of being limited to what a synth has to offer. Some people dont even bother to use the synth capabilities of a sampler. For example, they just use it to sample dum loops or something along that line. But, using the synth features of the EPS is where it's power lies, it gives you ways of creating big sounds with only 2MB of ram. For example you can take a tiny sample of a waveform such as a square wave (there are pc programs that can generate the waves to be sampled), then loop it and manipulate it by changing the parameters of the envelopes and lfo's. I suggest searching the internet to learn more about synths and samplers. Sorry that I dont have any links to suggest, but places like Synth Zone and Harmony Central are good places to start. Also, Darwin Grosse wrote a great tutorial on programming the Kurzweil K2000 -even though it doesnt apply to the gear you're using, it's a great way to learn what lfo's, envelopes and filters do to a sound on any synth. Finally, the shareware program SimSynth is a fun way to mess around with all the old-fashioned synth parameters, it's very educational and what you learn applies to almost all synths that are out there. Do a search on any of this stuff and I'm sure it's easy to find. Hope that helps. Maybe I got too basic on ya, but I wasnt sure what you're familiar with in the world of synths. Good luck, and whatever you do, keep your EPS-16+. I wish I would have kept mine.

(I just recently acquired the SCSI card, so i have been loading from floppies) The ASR-X is my first real sampler experience (though i have worked very briefly with the mirage and k-2000 in school) so i am pretty much a newbie to the sampling world...i was wondering if any of you have any insight into my situation... The method i have used for songs thus far is this: i've created several sequences and then used the "append" function to arrange the sequences so that each sequence in the bank (bank meaning a single session file) is one song. This first problem encountered here is that after 5 or 6 songs have been created, there is not enough sequencer RAM available to "append" sequences to one another. So next i created a second session file to serve as another bank...however, during a live performance, i have found that if you load a session file and then want to trigger the queued sequence, there is a delay of up to second or so between when the play button is pushed and the song actually starts. This is NO GOOD for a live performance! :) I just recently recieved the sys 2.53 upgrade which features "song mode" which looks promising...what i think i might do is have one song, ramkit per session using songmode...however, there is still the loadtime issue because you'd have to load separate sessions and then twiddle more knobs to get to song mode between each song (as far as i've explored this new function)...I am hoping once i get a harddrive that the load times will be quick enough to use the "song mode" (which is a much more practical means of songwriting). My friend Neil from the band "autumn" uses a K-2500 for their sequencing which has a remarkable song function which allows you to create a playlist and have a song automatically queue itself up upon the completion of the previous song. So during a live performance, all that he needs to do is hit a footswitch to begin the next song. This function is EXTREMELY attractive and i want my ASR-X to be able to perform in a similar fashion...:) thanks - -jonjon .hArlequin http://www.interzone.org/~jonjon dies irae http://www.interzone.org/diesirae theDescent http://www.cryogen.com/descent ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I use the Audio-In Effects Disk from WAVeBOY wich has a Time-Dicing effect that does just this. You can change pitch and not tempo, or tempo and not pitch. Again I can't recommened the WAVeBOY stuff highly enough. Just get it and use it.

Yes there is (on an ASR-10 at least), but you have to use the effects processor to do it. The recipe is: 1. load the instrument (loop) that you want to process. 2. in the edit/layer section set the pitch table for the layer which contains your loop to *No Pitch* 3. in the effects section choose effect algorithm ROM-39 Pitch Shift 4. in the edit/effects section set FX parameters to the following values: * Bus1 Mix = 99 (assumes your loop is being routed through bus 1) * VC1 semi = 0 * VC1 fine = 0 * VC1 vol = 99 * VC1 pan = +0 * (for this example turn the volume of VC2 to 0 since it's not being used) * quality = (either choice, whichever sounds better to you) * LFO rate = 0; width = 0 * Mod SRC1 = KBD * DST1 = VC1 semi * MIN1 = -12 * MAX1 = +12 5. Voila! -> so basically you're running your (non-transposing) loop through the pitch transposition effect and modulating the pitch of the effect from the keyboard. Note that this effect only transposes your loop by two octaves, in other words as you play up the keyboard, after your loop has transposed up two octaves the loop will go two octaves down again and cycle back up the scale. However if you're dealing with a drum loop, that may be enough as any further transposition would yield wierd results (although you may want that:-)). Note further that you're tying up the effects processor in order to achieve this effect. If you need to transpose your loop in the context of a multitimbral mix, it would probably still be better to have a separate wavesample for every pitch, but even in this case it would be MUCH faster to resample your loop through the effects than it would be to time compress/expand your sample 12 or 24 times as time comp/exp is VERY SLOOOOOWWWWW! - -Juan jdiaz@mail.utexas.edu ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

This generates a simple (tiny) tone-sample - I don't remember for sure, but I think you can even choose a wave form. I've created some great organ and key sounds using this feature that take up only 10 or 12 blocks of memory!

Do you think you >could elaborate on this point? > I programmed sounds on both platforms.. (never used the K2000 sequencer though- so no help there) after getting to know the K2000, I felt it had alot of options for sound programming, (The filters reminded me of my Oberheim Xpander)- But More options mean a more "fiddly" menu in this case. I found myself going through an extra step or 2 to do a similar thing on the "K2K" versus the ASR-10. I still got the job done though- so If you are well versed in synthesis (as your comments seem to suggest) I don't think you'll be intimidated in the least. Try this weak analogy- your studio has a Juno-60 AND a modular synth (a Serge or such). You have the Juno for FAST, proven synth stuff that you use because it is fast and easy and sounds good (like an ASR-10). YET you could do many of those Juno-type sounds on your Modular synth- with some more time choosing through the large panel of modules (and you get that extra 20% of possibilities)- like a K-2000. did that make sense ?? The file system of the K2K is also fiddly. You have "objects, and "dependent objects"- really silly Kurzweil-speak instead of the ASR's more logical "Instrument/Layer/Wavesample" terminoligy. I really don't care for the level of "propriatery-instrument-specific-gobbldygook" the K2K made me deal with (but you do get used to it I guess). I forgot to mention the voicing comparison.(Bad Viceroy) K2K= 24 voices @ full bandwidth (sample can play back at 48kHz) ASR-10 = 23 voices @ 44.1kHz , OR 31 voices at roughly 30 kHz (no 48kHz) but don't let the 48kHz fool you. as usual your ears will say who's really "crispy" on the high end. Keyboard magazine reported that the K2000 had a roll-off at around 17 kHz- while the ASR remained crispy up there. >>ASR= better envelopes. >>K2000= better modulation > >I understand that the ASR has velocity interpolation between soft and hard >envelope levels.

Is this how the ASR has better envelopes, or is there more to it? > I think the ASR gives you roughly the same velocity resolution as the K2K- (i.e. values inbetween the Max and Min of the envelope). I had no problem getting a good velocity response from either board. I will say that the K2K lost out to the ASR's envelopes in 2 ways . 1. ASR has more percussive attack times (to my ears OK?)- Keyboard magazine also alluded to this in their review of the K2K (a 2ms increment of slop as I recall).(and I know percussive envelopes- I had an ARP-2600 with the MOST precussive envelope I've ever heard (it was Exponential)). 2. The K2000 has (again- to my ears) an un-natural release section(s) to its amplitude envelope. The ASR's 2 stage envelope release (with ending Volume value) produced a more natural decay-. and please understand that I am NOT an afficianado of Faking acoustic instruments on samplers-(I'm not real picky) I like SYNTH sounds much more. >I would like to hear more about the 'options' in voice architecture that >the K2000 offers over the ASR (and vice versa?). For instance, how is the >modulation implementation in the Kurzweil better? In a word.. ALGORITHMS. ( the K2K has numorous Algorithms to shape sounds with that include distortion and exiter(harmonic sweetener) and Ring Mod (one of my favorites)...well.... it will again take more words.. hmmm...Resonant filters(the POLYPHONIC KIND)- the ASR can counter this attack with Transwaves.. but the K2k has more tricks in its hat than the ASR in this department. In defense of the ASR- it has really COOL realtime effects modulation controls - I made a twin-peaks Bandpass filter in an ASR effect section that you could sweep with the mod wheel (mmmmmm.. in Homer Simpson voice)- but the K2K can do twin Bandpass filters polyphonically. If I were buying one of these two today - as My only sampler.. and the price was similar... I would probably go with (...gasp..) the K2000 (please.. no flames. I still LOVE my ASR and make Music on it). Ensoniq has not produced a follow-up to the ASR (that improves on it) and Kurzweil has improved the K2K while Ensoniq has done.. I dunno.. what the hell are they doing??? A few years from now- you may want to buy a new sampler with double the polyphony of your old model. My crystal ball says you'll want to just load your old library of sounds into the new machine- Ensoniq has NO PATH for this - and Kurzweil does- so consider that. (this is really a Cry for help to the nice, wonderful folks at Ensoniq whose boots I have just licked clean in hopes of a new ASR-10.... hello ??? (echo chamber???)..... And I will add that there always seems to be someone here who puts things in a nutshell better than I (a nod to Rick's excellent synopsis below) >The k2000 has the luxury of onboard synth sounds. the sampling memory can be >expanded to at least 40 megs ( what my friend has) basic wave form editing >etc. the asr 10 has an awesome sequencer, better effects but only 8 tracks, >16 megs max, and no waveform sampling.

On the K2000, I only saw one level for each stage in the >envelope. Is this how the ASR has better envelopes, or is there more to it? This is definitely part of it. In addition, while the K2000's envelopes are pretty powerful there are a few snags which reduce their flexibility. 1. The time resolution of the envelopes is fairly coarse which can be a problem particularly during the attack portion of a sample where there's alot of information packed at the beginning of a sound. This means that (for example for semi-fast attack times) the time amount you may be going for may lay between two consecutive values, so you may only be able to get an attack that's either too hard, or too mushy compared to what you were going for. 2. Envelope modulation on the K2000 is programmed at the level of a layer rather than having each envelope be separately modulatable. In other words, you can't just modulate the attack time of the amplitude envelope. If you modulate the attack time, it affects all the envelopes in that layer. You can't even switch modulation off for a particular envelope in that layer. On the ASR you can modulate the filter, amplitude, and pitch envelopes for a given voice independently of one another. >the K2000 offers over the ASR (and vice versa?). For instance, how is the >modulation implementation in the Kurzweil better? Both instruments offer matrix modulation, and both instruments offer both fixed and open ended modulation inputs to the various sections of the voice architecture. What sets the K2000 apart are the function generators. Function generators are mathematical processes with which you can input two modulators and output their combined signals after those signals have been processed by the function generator. Some examples of the various function generators are (a+b), various "diode" functions, min(a,b), boolean functions (i.e. (a and b), (a or b)), "ramp", and "warp". The closest thing to this in the ASR-10 is the breakpoint modulator scaler which you can use to create non-linear modulator curves for any amplitude modulator, but it's not nearly as versatile as the function generators. - -Juan ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Dim. 50 1/2" x 15 5/8" x 5" Thanks for the input!

I'm not an expert on the subject but I've done some homework on the situation and from what I've read here, there are many opinions, so I'll just tell you what I know and you can take what you like and leave the rest (: CUBASE VST is the software to get, from what I hear... I have borrowed a copy of Cakewalk Pro from a friend so I could learn it a bit and decide which to get, but from what I've heard, CUBASE walks all over it (although it does have it's quirks). Depending on what sound card you have, or are going to buy, you can get something simple like a joystick port MIDI adapter, like I did, for $20.00 from Creative Labs (your local store can order one for you, but make sure you tell them if you need male or female ends, I bought the wrong ones (before I got my keyboard) and it took them 5 weeks to get the right one in!) You can plug a MIDI in and MIDI out into the adapter, as well as a joystick. There is also (from what I've been told) a parallel port MIDI adapter? (or was it serial port?) and you can connect another piece of hardware to it so that when you're not using the port for MIDI, you can use it with the other hardware. It sells for about $60 here (Canada) so I decided to save some $ and buy the joystick port adapter (can't really tell you any more about the other adapter because I didn't get a lot of info on it, but it was expensive, for no reason, from what I gathered - I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong ;) Rubber Chicken has some good software too, so you might want to check them out. My MIDI adapter works fine, no MIDI overloading, so far, but I only have one MIDI instrument connected to it, my EPS 16+. As far as sound cards go, I am using an SB 16 but if you want to do some serious audio recording from your keyboard to your sound card, you should probably get a better one, like the AWE 64 (there are more, I'm sure, that are better for the task of recording, so I'll leave it to the experts to fill you in on the rest of it :) I'm sure I won't be the only one replying to your letter, but I wanted to give something back, for all the help I've received from the people on this list (: I Hope I was of some help!

Are the green better for audio than the the HHB cdr800 is definately the best external one. there are a number of decent internal ones (which all tend to be less durable than the external ones), and the yamaha should be fine. a scsi based one can be controlled with cd architect from sonic foundry, easily the best software for audio cd creation on the pc. gold and blau one?

I too had a problem because of the crappy sound card. I opted to go to a regular desktop system to record tracks via midi, I have not got into the digital I/O yet, but from my understanding you are going to want to get a good card like Events lineup or maybe even Korg 1212 or Terratec or something like that. Oh yes my point, hehe the laptop as far as i know does not have any solid ways to record like you are saying. I did hear from a local music store that Roland has a PCMIA sound card in the works to address the laptop department, but until then I guess you will either have to switch systems or make your own compatible soundcard.

I'm not a pro but this might help you: I have an ASR-10 wich I use a lot with the VS-880. The way in which I take the traks to my computer is: 1.- I record the ouput of my ensoniq ASR10, etc to the VS-880 (must be in master mode if not it will not be imported by PC programs). 2.- I bounce and mix until i end up with 1 stereo pair (Left and right), optimize (to erase all other takes), save and turn off. 3.- I plug my external syquest ezflyier (the same I use with the ASR10... very cheap, dependable, easy to set up) with an empty PC-formated catridge in the SCSI port of the VS-880 and turn it on, initialize the external disk and save the master to external SCSI unit. 4.- Then connect the SCSI unit to the PC... it will have a directory and on it around 6 files, 2 of them are the audio traks, left and right (the only 2 big files with a name starting with 'take', all other files are very small). 5.- From there you can use any audio utility to import this raw audio files and convert them to *.wav... I found a utility (freeware for vs-880) that takes both files and builds a stereo *.wav file (I don't remember the name but is all over the internet), I prefer to use it and import the stereo *.wav file to my editing software, from there I burn my audio CDs. 6.- If you plan to edit but then use again with the VS-880 then you need to fix the win.ini file with a freeware program that will let you read the disks on a PC using win95 without erasing the VS-880 format (again I don't remember the name of the program and I am not at home but it's easy to find over the web).

By assigning the same key range (within the same layer) to different wavesamples, you might only end with "ghost" samples, i.e. resident in the memory (you could check their existence only by scrolling the underlined WS#) but certainly not audible (forgive my odd English). In order to audition several wavesamples at the same time when playing one key, they do have to be in different layers. Stacking, overlaying, keyboard & modulation crossfades can only be done this way. Besides, Tim O'Connor is right : you may want to "hard mix" them forever with the Mix or resample fonctions.

Iwas wondering if there are clever ways of getting around this limitation - other than the ones I use: 1) split the keyboard (bass in lower half, sax on top..) 2) use layers, either to have a sax on layer 1 play unison with a trumpet on layer 2, or to alternate between them using the left buttons...

I've noticed that if you use the Process functions (normalise, truncate etc.) it generates a NEW sample on the scratch pad, rather than affect the selected sample. The new one then has to assigned to a pad. For something like Scale Loudness I can see the point of this, but Normalise and Truncate?

Hi all, I have a Sony DAT Walkman (TCD-D8) that I want to use for sampling and recording. I heard from a friend that it is best not to use a mic with its own power supply (at least in the newer version of that DAT recorder, which has phantom power). I noticed that I often get some hissing noises when recording sounds that are not very loud, such as the fading of a plucked string, and I was wondering if this is just normal, or if it depends on the mic being used. I am currently using two AKG C-1000 S mics, which each have a 9 volt battery. What is the best way to get rid of the noise at low recording levels?

In order to delete a sample, you have to go into the memory manager which i believe is in the system area...(the right button of the three buttons in the upper left hand corner...) if you scroll through the mem manager, there is a delete sound function...that will remove the sound from RAM...if you want to remove a sound from a disk, you need to go to the disk utility function which is in the system area as well...

I can't believe this. I've used the memory manager, and it's going to be so slow to use this. If I remember correctly, triggering the sample from a pad doesn't select the sample in the list of samples to delete i.e. you have to know it by name => you've got to name every damn sample if you want to know what you're doing. yikes! > I agree that the multiple copy of the sample thingy is irritating. it > seems like that would cause greater load times and eat up more > memory...erk.

I'd thought about this, and actually partially did it, but you seem to get individual parameter settings on every pad, so if you want to open or close the filter etc. it only affects the current pad.

Firstly, there are basically two types of CDs used in the sampling world. 1st is the audio CD. Here you need a typical audio cd player, a cable to the sample/audio in on your sampler and you are ready to manually sample sounds. (this is the hard way to get new sounds) 2nd is the CD-Rom. In this situation you need a (compatible) CD-Rom drive, scsi cable, scsi card/jack in your sampler, and an appropiate CD-ROM disk (ie: powerhouse). In this situation, the cd-rom disk acts like a giant floppy disk that has aprox. 300 megs of sounds that load 1000 times faster than a floppy disk. A 1 meg file can load in about 4 seconds. The down side is that once a cd-rom disk is made, you can not store the edited sounds back onto the cd-rom. You must save again onto floppy or other hard drive like a zip disk. There are some other added values of using a cd-rom like direct dialing of sounds. This is a super fast navigation tool made by ensoniq to locate sounds that are deeply embedded in directories/files. Hope this helps.! http://www.midimark.com Jeffrey S. Brenan wrote: > > I saw the CD.

Unfortunately, it probably only works on drives that are Quick Formatted - in other words, only the FAT and Root directory being erased. Quick formatting is available on our Tools products and EDM. With drives that are accidently formatted with the EPS/ASR itself, or "low-level foramtted" with EDM, unformatting may not be possible. When the Unformatter gets done, we'll know more.

More and more it seems like the ASR-X is a Operating System that is long in revision. Every file system - memory and disk related - has to take in account two major factors: 1) Memory allocation in RAM for the sound module to access 2) Storage of the proper parameter information Really the EPS/ASR-10 system was very eloquant, but with some limitations as well. Within the RAM it compensated for all the low-level sample-editing and adding/removing objects (such as new wavesamples, layers, and copies of those), and was always able to write a coherent file when asked to save to disk. The limitation was that if you wanted to adjust 1 wave's VOLUME parameter on a 30,000 block instrument, you would have to resave the ENTIRE isntrument. What a waste of time. The ASR-X improved on that, separating the individual parameters for an "instrument" from the wavedata, which is stored as individual AIF files. Remember, this is how they are probably used in RAM as well. Each Wavesample Parameter set points to a memory address where a set of wavedata begins. How efficient. The problem with the ASR-X, it seems, is that all the ways of organizing WHERE the data is hasn't been organized and solidified to make the easiest and simplest sense. You can see that in the files - each AIFF file has parameter information as well. Apparantly Ensoniq hasn't got to the point where a Process edit can change the contents of the wavedata while maintaining the integrity of the "instrument" (1-SOUND) as well. It at least provides a complicated workaround, until they work it out to where the OS can do this in the more simpler manner we are used to. Conclusion: the ASR-X/MR structure was built to provide for simpler sound structures than the EPS/ASR. Now they are trying to extend it a make it grow. My question - it seemed so easy to get it right at the beginning? Side note: I was reading today the inaugral MR-Workstation ad in a 1995/6 Keyboard magazine. Sure enough, it said "Able to read ASR/EPS sounds". Yeah, right. Like it was ever able to. The surprising thing is that - why wasn't the file structure and memory allocation planned correctly in the first place? It seems that now everything is being "crammed in" as afterthoughts. Why couldn't the expandability been planned in the beginning? It's not like Ensoniq hadn't embarked on that type of project before. (P.S. If anyone from Ensoniq is reading this - I'd sure like to ask questions on this subject to someone who would give technical answers. We users have to guess and grope because no one in your company decides to share or contribute any pertinant information upon request - even to companies who want to support your product! Perhaps that would help the $$ problems in the long run.

Right. See above. But it is easy to do any split - just make a RAM Kit, and go from there. All the 1-SOUND copies are annoying, but they get the job done.

I would strongly suggest that you do not attempt to "unformat" your drive using Garth's Tools product or any other software for that matter. Your original data should be backed up and recovered on another drive. Giebler Enterprises has been recovering 100's of Ensoniq diskettes and hard disks since 1990 with a success rate over 98%. The first step we take is to copy the raw data to another drive for backup and then, work to recover the data on a third drive. The recovery process we developed over the years has been refined based on the types of failures we have seen. We have successfully recovered drives where the FAT and directories are both missing. Several of these drives had fragmented files which had to be reconstructed manually. An "unformat" function could never properly recover such files, and would most likely leave corrupted files on your disk which could "crash" your ASR. If anything goes wrong during Garth's (currently unreleased) "unformat" process, including a power outage, you may end up losing any chance of recovering your data. Make sure you attempt any recovery on a backup copy.

I wouldn't have thought it would be that difficult. It seems to be totally oriented around drum sounds, with no thought for making instruments. I see that the ROM sounds have splits etc. built in.

AIFF's created on the ASR-X have a specific Ensoniq tag, that stores other wave-specific parameters. It also stores loop points in the MARK tag.

GREAT - no duplication of lengthy wave data. 2) Editing of parameter info without rewriting the AIFF files. Benefits - short write times, less fragging.

Several of >these drives had fragmented files which had to be reconstructed manually. With a sincere tip of the hat to you, Gary, who really pioneered the investigation of the Ensoniq file structure, there ARE other people who know something about the disk and file system. You aren't the only one, and you aren't only one that can recover data, although I'm sure you do it well. >An >"unformat" function could never properly recover such files, and would most >likely leave corrupted files on your disk which could "crash" your ASR. ASSUMING - that the function didn't account for that. Or that if it didn't account for that, that it would not have a TEST feature where each file would be tested for integrity. HELLO - we're not amateurs. Sheesh. People of the list, make up your own mind - we are putting a recovery function into our product, for you to use. That's what we believe in. Recovery, as we see it, is not in EDM. Do you support us putting a solid recovery system in our products, for YOU to use? Even better - mail us your suggestions for this function. We listen to our customers. On the technical end - here's the easiest situation, elaborating on what Gary mentioned: 1) Given a hard disk with completely contiguous data 2) You erase the data using a "Quick Format" method - meaning you erase the FAT and the Root Directory, and DO NOT add the OS afterwards. The Unformatter would scan the entire drive for files. Since, upon encountering the file, we could know the file size, and extract that amount, and note the offset. A drive like this could be completely recovered, since all data would be intact and "laid on a platter". Here's a more difficult situation: 1) Given a hard disk with un contigious data 2) You erase the data using a "Quick Format" method - meaning you erase the FAT and the Root Directory, and add the OS afterwards. Two problems - the OS erased a certain amount of data. So you lose that - but only maybe. Most hard disks have the OS written to. The other problem is what happens if you come across an instrument and you extract it based on contiguous blocks - and it wasn't contiguous? You then have corrupted data. Here's a the most difficult situation: 1) Given a hard disk with un contigious data 2) You erase the data using the EPS/ASR itself, or low-level format using EDM - meaning you erase the FAT, Root Directory, and rewrite address marks, and add the OS afterwards. Gary knows more about this situation than I. The point is - I think the customer is smart enough to do things himself, if he wants to. Actually, we had this idea because it happened to us. Hey, why not share the invention? But maybe others want to say "don't use" because it threatens them somehow. Good grief. >If anything goes wrong during Garth's (currently unreleased) "unformat" >process, including a power outage, you may end up losing any chance of >recovering your data. >Make sure you attempt any recovery on a backup copy.

In the message body put: unsubscribe eps ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 04 Mar 1998 10:16:25 -0500 From: "Rubber Chicken Software Co." Subject: EPS: Rebuttal Thanks for the reply. Let's continue. I hope this back-and-forth is helpful for information purposes for everyone - I think it is, so that's why I am posting this on the list and not taking it private. Nevertheless, this takes away from programming time, so this will probably be the last of it. Couple of clarifications, since this is in "semi-out-of-control... Christopher, I bet you regret asking about all this. Like my mom says, never talk about religon, politics, or unformatting in social settings. 1) No promises for the Unformatter are made, except the ones explicitly mentioned below. 2) Try this only in your studio - don't try this at home. =) 3) We do not promise any release date. We expect a working copy that will be available to registered Tools owners by weeks end, but don't sell your possessions if it isn't. 4) To prove that such a Unformatter can exist and work properly, I will post a demo version of it that will show it's capabilities. No promises on WHEN this will happen - but it will. I'm posting the original "post in question" for clarity. This is somewhat long - please skip if not interested. QUESTION: >Has somebody of you an idea of getting some samples of the hard disk >back(by making a row file of the hard disk and than use a PC audio >editor?)? I have a PC. RCS ANSWER: "We should have a "Unformatter" option on our Tools products by the end of the week. Unfortunately, it probably only works on drives that are Quick Formatted - in other words, only the FAT and Root directory being erased. Quick formatting is available on our Tools products and EDM. With drives that are accidently formatted with the EPS/ASR itself, or "low-level foramtted" with EDM, unformatting may not be possible. When the Unformatter gets done, we'll know more." At 05:10 AM 3/4/98 EST, you wrote: >You're missing the point. I suggested not using ANY software to attempt to >recover the original drive. That's right - you did. But you did suggest your service, that you recover files "inhouse". I have seen you do a good job of this - I know of several instances. In other words, in the negative sense, are you are saying - "Don't try this yourself"? Or, even worse, "I only can do it?", or "It's too tough for 'regular' people?" I'm sure you don't do it for free (if you do I'm impressed), so aren't you as quilty of "selling" as I am? An implication is, "No software YOU could use is able to help you." I said, "not right now, but one is in the works." (BTW the way, see his exact question. The Unformatter option already does EXACTLY what he asked, plus a lot more - intelligently. Why do you fault me answering his question? A possible radical implication of your statement is, "It is impossible to do it yourself." That is absolutely incorrect, but that may be not what you intended to say. I said, "No software is available to help you, but RCS is working on a Unformatter which possibly YOU could use to help yourself." It also directly answered his question. So what's the problem? Sheesh. >His data isn't backed up or he wouldn't be asking for help to recover his files. You are splitting your terms. Your use of "backing up" was a back up of the raw image of the physical drive AFTER the data was lost - not before. His question is moot if he had a working safety copy of all his files. Let me quote: you said "...your original data should be backed up and recovered on another drive" and "...make sure you attempt any recovery on a backup copy." You are talking about AFTER the files were lost, not before. And if you did mean "backup before you do low-level operations to the drive", it doesn't mean he can't backup a raw image of his entire physical drive. The Unformatter option can do that at this point. That's a fact. BTW, see below - the way the Unformatter works, backing up doesn't matter - it's a moot point. It avoids the question. Perhaps you thought that it had to. (See blelow - it doesn't.) Maybe one day you can be on our Board - only if you sing a non-disclosure statement. =) >I didn't "review" any product. I mentioned your TOOLS specifically because you had >just recommended that he use it to recover the drive. Reread the post. I mentioned, "we were working on it". By posting it, I did imply that it could possibly be used for that purpose. "Recommendation" is your assumption, not stated. He asked if "anyone had the idea", and I said, "we were working on it." No recommendation, although I bet it will address his need eventually. Actually, come to think of it - Disk Tools already does this - sort of. You can edit individual bytes on a Ensoniq device, floppy or SCSI. Doing full-blown things is not yet a feature. >I didn't shamelessly plug my software (like you just did). Let me address everyone - being a member of this list, whereas I ask questions and answer them as well, requires a walking of a line as far as plugging things I profit from. I only mention it when it is asked for, and when a competing product does the same thing, I ALWAYS mention it. BTW, sometimes when it comes to the EDM and Tools, I mention EDM first, almost to prove a point that I believe in fair play FIRST. I profit from my presence here, no doubt. But I hope that's only because I truly want to help people with their musical work. If I stop really caring, it's time to leave. Shamelessly? I earn that right - I receive no less than 5 and often more than 10 help telephone calls a day. Often expensive time and even tangible $$ are lost while I help someone use their ZipDrive with their ASR-10. (Ensoniq used to say "it doesn't work". Lot's of help they were.) >In fact, I specifically stated that our software doesn't have that feature, >and I also explained why it shouldn't. Where was this info? Quoting your ENTIRE post: "I would strongly suggest that you do not attempt to "unformat" your drive using Garth's Tools product or any other software for that matter. Your original data should be backed up and recovered on another drive. Giebler Enterprises has been recovering 100's of Ensoniq diskettes and hard disks since 1990 with a success rate over 98%. The first step we take is to copy the raw data to another drive for backup and then, work to recover the data on a third drive. The recovery process we developed over the years has been refined based on the types of failures we have seen. We have successfully recovered drives where the FAT and directories are both missing. Several of these drives had fragmented files which had to be reconstructed manually. An "unformat" function could never properly recover such files, and would most likely leave corrupted files on your disk which could "crash" your ASR. If anything goes wrong during Garth's (currently unreleased) "unformat" process, including a power outage, you may end up losing any chance of recovering your data. Make sure you attempt any recovery on a backup copy." No mention of EDM, and that it didn't have the feature, and why. Let me further rebutt the statements: "We have successfully recovered drives where the FAT and directories are both missing." Right. I know of several instances. Good job. I also did it with a beta of the Unformatter last night. To be honest, under the right conditions (no fragmentation). "Several of these drives had fragmented files which had to be reconstructed manually." It can possibly be done automatically, and it CAN BE DONE semi-automatically. I'm sure there will be difficult situations where perhaps the Unformatter will not restore 100%. Hat's off to Gary for 98%. I made no mention or claim that the Unformatter would be flawless or incapable of doing certain things. Neither do you. "An "unformat" function could never properly recover such files, and would most likely leave corrupted files on your disk which could "crash" your ASR." Could never? Pretty dogmatic. The Unformatter will prove this incorrect. My "don't review" comment was partially directed toward this statement. Hey, people said man would never fly, and that the world was flat. (P.S. Take a minute, Gary. Think about about it - you know it's possible. Logic tells you - if you can do it manually, it can be automated to a certain extent.) "If anything goes wrong during Garth's (currently unreleased) "unformat" process, including a power outage, you may end up losing any chance of recovering your data." If this isn't a review, what is? You assume that we don't recommend using a backup - incorrect. As I said, please wait until it is released before you hammer on it. See below why this assumption is erroneous and wrong. "Make sure you attempt any recovery on a backup copy." Good advice. Actually, this backup stuff is all moot. Why? 1) The Unformatter works on extracting as many files as possible from the entire physical disk. IT DOES NOT WRITE TO IT. 2) It tests every file that it extracts for integrity. If it shows that there might be a problem with it, it probably will ask you if you want to delete it or put it in a seperate directory put aside for that purpose. 3) In the best case, you will recover ALL the files that were on the drive. (BTW, it's an open question, and probably impractical or impossible, if the directory structure can be restored.) They will be in the form of File Images (EFE or EFA) on a PC-formatted hard drive. Then it is recommended that you arrange them, and then transfer them (using the RestoreSCSI command in Tools) to another drive/cartridge. And for extra safety, load all the files in and test away. >> On the technical end - here's the easiest situation, >> The other problem is what happens if you come across an instrument and you >> extract it based on contiguous blocks - and it wasn't contiguous? >> You then have corrupted data. > >Guess what? Since the FAT does not exist, your program won't know which files >are fragmented and which ones aren't - even in your easiest situation. Not unless you know the "ancient Chinese secret". Pretty good for a VB programmer, huh? Yes, you can. You know the system (I'm assuming). If you think through it, you'll know how. (Unless I'm a genius, which my wife tells me I'm not.) People, if you have a chance to see the Unformatter work, you'll see that it is possible. >>The point is - I think the customer is smart enough to do things himself, >>if he wants to. Actually, we had this idea because it happened to us. > >If you include an "Unformat" function in a commercial software package, your >customers are going to assume that the function is going to correctly recover >their files and they are not going to expect or know how to deal with >corrupted files. I deliver good high-level products. People are warned about misuse, in the Help file and upon confirmation prompts in the program. Norton provides a low-level disk editor in their acclaimed Utilities. Their fears of what the customer might do doesn't stop them, did it? My Unformatter will make the appropriate claims of it's capability. It's up to the user to read the prompts and the Help file. They are warned, believe me. >>>An "unformat" function could never properly recover such files, and would >most >>>likely leave corrupted files on your disk which could "crash" your ASR. >> >>ASSUMING - that the function didn't account for that. Or that if it didn't >>account for that, that it would not have a TEST feature where each file >>would be tested for integrity. >>HELLO - we're not amateurs.

I did account for them - when I drew the Unformatter up last month. And since I sell my product, it's seems professional to me. It's times like these that I remember and appreciate the great encouragement me and this company have received over the years. >In fact, I could quote your own postings to this mailing list where >you admit your inexperience and describe your first "dabblings" with >programming in Visual Basic in an attempt to get your TOOLS program running. This all sounds pretty elitest to me. Hey, I'm proud of our accomplishments here - and I endeavor to do 2 things: 1) Look up and learn from those more knowledgable and experienced than me, and 2) Help those who are endeavoring to learn and create something. You are in the the 1) category to me, but if you applied these principles to yourself, I think you need to concentrate on 2) a little more. But I'm no judge, and I'll stop right there. >Your early attempts at your TOOLS product flooded the Internet with corrupted >EFE files which wasted hours of musician's time trying to figure out what was >wrong. (Refer back to prior posts on this mailing list for many documented >examples). FLOODED? A little exaggeration. My coments: 1) It's extrememly hard to even GET people to post sounds on a site on the Internet. I think you can almost count on your fingers the Ensoniq files that have been posted on sites in the last year. 2) I would like to see ONE instance of a corrupted File Image or Disk Image, sent or posted on the Internet, that was corrupted as a reult of our Tools products. I'm sorry, this just didn't happen. 3) The facts are this: a) Early versions of Disk Tools produced a healthy percentage of corrupted files. I would say this lasted for a months period of time, in 1996. After that time, the program was secure as it gets. For the last one and half years, I've depended on Disk Tools SOLELY to distribute my own company's files amd disks. If they are bad, that costs me $$. b) MIDI-Disk Tools had a difficult task of creating File Images from scratch, based on sys-ex information. If there was an instance of a File Image with a corruption in it in a version of MIDI-Disk Tools before 9/97, I wouldn't be surprised. But no one would ever use this type of file on a distrubtion basis. c) There have been certain revisions (I'm thinking of one specifically) that may have screwed up the .WAV conversions, or something else. But this is a rare excepetion. And in the case I'm thinking it was fixed and repaired in one day. d) Our program does a lot with files. I can claim great accuracy AND ROBUSTNESS. But it is irresponsible to claim perfection - especailly with software. I don't - not with a powerful product such as our Tools stuff. But if a customer finds anything wrong - we're on it immediately. Fortunately there usually isn't anything wrong. 4) How would Gary know this? He doesn't own a copy. Is this firsthand or secondhand info? >To summarize, 1. Christoph Zensen asked for help. He asked if (quote) "Has somebody of you an idea of getting some samples of the hard disk back (by making a row file of the hard disk and than use a PC audio editor?)?" >2.

I simply showed him that we were already in the process of realizing the "idea". >and doesn't contain the proper safeguards needed to protect his data. And I said, "how do you know?" The fact is that you don't. It is especially embarrassing to realize that HE DOESN'T NEED TO. The Unformatter doesn't write anything to the disk in question. >3. I tried to protect him from losing his data and gave him several >suggestions on how to proceed qualified by several examples of my experience. Hey, and you did a good job at it, too.

My favorite is the Sennheiser MKH-40, not only because of its fantastic accuracy, but also of its ability to work outdoors at any temperature or moisture level. Neumann series 80 are also highly recommandable, and Calrec makes affordable, very good and reliable condenser-type mics. Most of the portable consumer DAT machines have rather weak mic preamps, and as far as I know, little Sony machines supply only low voltage phantom powering (suitable only for electret mikes). You might consider using an external preamp, so that you can use the line input of your DAT. Watch your cables, too. Hope this helps.

Folks: I enjoy reading the exchange between Gary and Garth regarding the best way to try to recover data. The only thing I want to say is that when Gary said that Garth, a man with a professional company that SELLS products, is an "amateur", he not only crossed the line of honesty and decency, but also degraded himself in the process. To make an analogy, just because I work on records with major artists is no reason for me to suggest that someone who makes his living playing weddings is any more of an "amateur" than I am. The foregoing does not seek to place Garth in the "wedding band" catagory, just to make a point about pros and amateurs. As you were, gentlemen.

Great - and I say this sincerely. I welcome criticisms of our products - even from competitors. I think me saying "I'm sorry, this just didn't happen.", was intended in context to refer to the charge that the "Internet was flooded" with corrupted files, not that one corrupted file could be found. It was worded incorrectly - my apologies. But here's the bottom line: Gary is rehashing problems that existed quite a while ago. How relevant is that today? Here's the RCS Unconditional Guarantee on viable files created or altered via our Tools programs (MIDI-Disk Tools and Disk Tools), and we stand by them: 1) Today's versions of our Tools products consistantly and dependably create and edit loadable, viable EPS and ASR files. 2) Any exception to 1) will be dealt with and repaired within 48 hours. 3) Any registered owner that comes up with 4 separate non-reported valid file corruption problems will receive their money back for the program. That's that last of that.

I have to say that I think you have been a bit harsh in your critisism, Gary, though I also have to say that in my experience you're products have always been bullet-proof. The EPS Tools did not work well at all for years, until he changed the SYSEX implementation I could not get it to run at all. This and the number of bug releases leads me to think there was perhaps a less than "professional" level of quality control in the Rubber Chicken products (the same can been said of Microsoft), but things seem to have improved lately. Garth does have a bit of the Bill Gates enthusiasm for yet-to-be released product as well, though I did not think he was at all unrealistic in his posts on this matter.

I have gone to a SCSI drive and added the Output Expander as well. I drop tracks to ADAT often. I want to gripe about the setup of the AUX busses. It is great that you can configure the machine to drop tracks on separate busses but when you go to the AUX busses you loose FX's. I'm sure you can still use the global FX's but they are not as intricate as the insert FX's. Are there any plans to give FX's to the AUX busses? Second, the SCSI disk is great but there issue with it as well. For instance, loading sounds is a breeze but loading the directory can take a long time especially if you have a lot of files in a directory. By default the ASR-X converts all sounds to AIF when it save and puts them in the WAVES dir. If you save a ;lot of songs to the SCSI disk then you get a large number of files in the WAVES dir and a few in the others. I found that by adding additional directories and organizing files that you can load SCSI disks faster. But if the ASR-X saves files to a certain location by default and expects to find them in a certain place how can you organize SCSI disks to decrease loading time. I found a marked improvement when I added additional directories and spread the files around by type. How can I do something like this with a SCSI disk that only holds SESSIONS?

I have said nothing dishonest, nothing indecent, and I did not degrade myself or anyone else. Everything I said was carefully reviewed and checked for accuracy (several times). Facts were verified with the same high level of care and integrity given to everything I post or publish. At best, you and I seem to disagree on the meaning and intent of the term "amateur" as used in my original context. You appear to consider the term "amateur" insulting or degrading. If so, I assure you, it was not intended as an insult. My original post was an attempt to prevent the potential loss of someone's data from circumstances others may or may not have considered. My remaining posts were forced to justify my original intent, having been accused of many things including attempting to monopolize the disk recovery industry. My comments regarding TOOLS's history and Garth's programming were made to justify and demonstrate the basis for my original recommendation and concern regarding the potential loss of data. Although you may disagree with my definition of "amateur", I sincerely hope that you no longer question my intent. Now, let's all get back to making music.

Only if the jp or the korg has an audio input from which you could send eps sounds (audio source) into the keyboard and then tweek it with the filters on the synth. I'm almost positive the jp does not have this although the korg might. One keyboard/rack that does this very well is the Novation bass station. It allows external audio input to be filterd by the bass station filters. Not too shabby. http://www.midimark.com/links.html > > THANKS for all the help!! > > -ck > ============================================================================= > This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University. > If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing list, send electronic mail > to majordomo@oak.oakland.edu.

Well, the Original EPS won't see CD-ROM drives. You will have to get Giebler's EDM or our Tools products in order to extract CD-ROM files onto a SCSI Drive or floppy, in order for the EPS to read them. >And if it doesn't....will Awave solve this prob?

However you can buy an analog synth with external inputs to filter- it's a really cool thing to have IMHO- it's an option to the built in oscillator types (i.e. sine wave, saw, square) antiques: the Roland SH-101 has an input (or was it the SH-09, well both probably) and the MC-202 did as well and I'm pretty sure some? Moogs did... ooops you said midi, I'm afraid you'd have to retrofit in some cases (CV-->midi). The EMS VCS3, a modular synth that has also the ext. input is supposed to have a kick-ass ring modulator. That gear goes for a lot used and even more new, you have to special order that and forget about the midi, I'd say. New- you can get a dedicated device like the sherman filter bank or the mutronics mutator. They have the filters, and envelope followers, but they are more or less processors (not synths). There are new analog synths on the market that do this, too, and some in the used market- look for "external input to filter" or something like that in the descriptions.

I.M.H.O., the F.A.T.

In case you didn't know this (and I don't want to assume anything) you have to setup the EPS to send on the appropriate channel, according to what channel Cakewalk is going to recieve on, (yeah, I know, hanging preposition, like I care! ;) and you have to setup, in Cakewalk, which channel is going to be receiving on which channel. *shakes his head* meaning: if you want to record your EPS's instrument one on track one in Cakewalk, then inst 1 on your EPS has to be set to send on channel one, and Cakewalk has to be set to receive, for that instrument, on channel one... follow? I hope so cuz I'd rather not have to repeat it ;) Also, since MIDI info is sent on whatever channel you choose (I chose 16 just so it's out of the way) and sequence data can conflict with other data saved on the same track, you will want to take that into consideration when choosing which channels you use to transmit info. I just know I'm forgetting something here but I'm just getting started also, so I hope this does the trick for you. :) Good fortune! A.J.

Hi again, I thought I had figured it out, about the sequence copying I mean, but I was wrong. I thought I could just copy the track from one instrument to another (that part worked) and then put both sequences into a song and have them play at the same time (that part didn't work). I thought it worked the first time. Either it was a bug or my ears deceived me. In any case, I'm back to my old question. Is it possible to record one sequence on the EPS 16+ that uses two instruments, where both instruments play the same notes, without having to play them both? I guess it would be possible with an external sequencer, but I'd rather use the EPS 16+ alone, since I want to learn everything I can about it. Would it be easier to mix the two samples, or is it possible that the samples will cancel each other out?

Actually, there already _is_ at least one: the "Virus" from Access, a relatively new European manufacturer. It's a MIDI-expander, offering analogue stereo-inputs for filtering and for further internal synthesis. From what I can tell, this synth is the hottest virtual analogue, maybe with the exception of the "Nord Modular" from Clavia (which I only know from the papers). [...] >New- you can get a dedicated device like the sherman filter bank or the >mutronics mutator. They have the filters, and envelope followers, but they >are more or less processors (not synths). I own a Sherman Filterbank Mk.II since more than a year now, and I have to admit that I can't imagine beeing without one again. Pure, raw power, with more ways to ruin your ears than you can think about 8-) .... Be aware that this piece of gear is _really_ analogue - no memories, no presets. MIDI-control is only "relative", that means, dependent from the actual hardware-setings. No problem in the studio, but can't be easily integrated in today's live-setups. Lacking another possibility, I use my Filterbank on stage, too, in a very "electro-industrial" context; but honestly - if you need total recall at the tip of your finger, consider the Virus to offer more bang for the buck (and it has lots o'knobs, like the Sherman), although as a filter it may be not as flexible sound-wise.

Hi Simon- I don't think Syquest has a SCSI version of the Sparq drive (they do have one called "SyJET" but it costs around the same price as a JAZ drive. I think the best and least expensive back-up is to use a CDR burner. ---- the Media (blank CDs) are the best bang for the buck (IMHO). ********************************************** T.

In toast you just do a SCSI copy to a disk image and then burn the CD from the image. If I had a better (faster) hard drive for my ASR10 (I have a syquest 270 removeable) I would'nt even have to make an image. I could just burn straight from the syquest to cdr. I imagine that the win world would offer a similar function. This is by far the cheapest and most convieient solution, not to mention the safest form of backup.

Just a few corrections, as I own 2 of those devices : - - Unfortunately, the Roland microcomposer MC 202 doesn't have an external audio input (CV/Gate & ext. Clock only). And it's not MIDI, of course (but quite easily upgradable). - - The EMS VCS3 does have a fantastic ring modulator (and 4 inputs : 2 audio & 2 control signal). The filter (18 dB/Oct) is rather weak if you want that kind of "classic US analog sweep" sound, but OK to resonate and provide perfect sine waves. Furthermore, this british old Lady is not only non-MIDI, but also unable to interface with anything else in the world than EMS modules (it's 0,32V/Oct. linear...). But it's a unique real-time effects machine ! (It's like driving an old Jaguar, instead of a modern - and reliable - Japanese replica...).

I do this converting all the time. I have taken all my sample CDs, read off all the CDA files I wanted and copied them to hard disk. Once there I take a Mastering Program called Samplitude Studio, read in the WAV files and chop up the converted WAV files to fit my styles. I found a freeware program on the net to rip the CDA files off my sample CDs, it is called WinDAC32. Search the net for it. When I found it I think I searched on EXTRACT CD AUDIO. Your problem will dicing up the WAV files once they are on your hard drive. Like I said I use Samplitude Studio 4.05 but that is not free. Another great thing is that this Samplitude program also ships with a CD burning/ripping program called CD Audio PLUS. The company that makes this is called SEK'D (www.sekd.com). These files get pretty big. They average about 15-20 meg per file. Another program they may work is CoolEdit. I have not tried it yet, but I got my hands on it today. As far as the copying a sequence to another track. I do this all the time but I use an ASR-X. I love this cause it really fattens up sounds by putting the same sound and sequence and different tracks then changing the octave, offset, or transpose. On the ASR-X there is a copy sequence command, I don't know about the EPS-16+. Does anyone else know...?

I use a Yamaha analog (same CV as yours) with a Kenton Pro-2 Midi>>CV box. Alternatively- (cheap solution) you could try and sample the trigger out signal from your Korg and send that trigger from the sampler (as a sample) to the trigger in of the MS-20 to get some real-time triggering (while playing and sending a 2nd sound layer in the same instrument -digital sample- from a seperate ASR/EPS output -into the external input to the MS-20's filter FUN FUN FUN.......).

Does Samplitude (or Cool Edit) split the wav's and modify them so as to save space or not? I mean, I'm recording the cda files to wav files on my hard drive, and one set of samples (with a 5 octave range) took 1.58 MB. I know I can load them to the EPS 16+, setup a loop and truncate the extra data to save space, but does Samplitude (or Cool Edit) do any of that or is there another advantage to using that program, instead of Sound Forge? >As far as the copying a sequence to another track.

I'm afraid you cannot sample anything through the analog inputs while you play a sound on the ASR ! Furthermore, what's fun is playing and tweaking knobs in real time while sequences - or fingers - are running, like having a bunch of additionnal controllers. If you can record & edit those controllers movements, it's even better.

There is no HTML tags that will set up as a score. Although if you are good at visual basic you could create your own active X control. You best bet is to scan in to a Jpg load it and crop the image down in size by reducing the color depth and resolution if need be. If your scanner puts it into a .tif and you *need* to resize the picture, resize it while it is a tif and convert it to a jpg from there. Another idea is to convert the score to a midi (.mid) file, through it up on to the net and and have a link pointing to a demo of cubase or cakewalk. If you have access to what I guess adobe Acrobat or similar software you can create a .pdf file that contains the score and have people download the file and and a link to a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader. This is actually the way that I have seen most of the score out on the net in this .pdf format. It creates a document that is readable on almost every OS.

Could you, Garth, or someone else here, pleeeeeez tell me the specifics of how I can backup the contents of an ASR formatted Zip cartridge - without having to load samples, and banks, etc. back into the ASR, a few at a time, and then taking the original cartridge out of the Zip drive, putting in the new one, saving the material to the new one, then, for banks, having to load them BACK into the ASR, from the new cartridge AND resaving the bank to that cartridge (so that when you go to load the bank from this new "back up location, the ASR will ask for this new cartridge)? I have a PC (Pentium 166), at one end of my SCSI chain, the Zip drive in the middle, and the ASR at the other end (3 devices total). I do not have a CD recorder. Can I do a backup of my carts in any simpler way, with my current setup? If not, what is the cheapest device addition to my setup, that will enable me to backup the carts more simply???? Second query: Can someone recommend any website or printed matter that explains, in DETAIL how to convert these ".eda",".ede", etc, type files (downloaded off the net) for use in an ASR (either on to floppies, or for transfer from a PC by MIDI or SCSI), and what softwares, for this application, (for PC), are the least expensive and easiest to use? I've seen lots of mention of these files types (in The Hacker and at various websites), but I have NEVER been able to find a detailed/step by step explanation of how to use various softwares to convert them, etc. Thanks in advance.

EDM can store everything onto 1 special Archieve file, and can restore from that. Tools saves everything to a corresponding directory structure for zipping/editing, and can be resored from there. With the ASR itself, best way is to increase your memory to 16mb - then the swaps are not as frequent. Remember also that COPY SCSI DRIVE does not defragment - it is simply a raw copy back and forth. >Second query: Can someone recommend any website or printed matter that >explains, in DETAIL how to convert these ".eda",".ede", etc, type files >(downloaded off the net) for use in an ASR (either on to floppies, or >for transfer from a PC by MIDI or SCSI), and what softwares, for this >application, (for PC), are the least expensive and easiest to use?

The ASRX has a cool param called Input+ Mainout which allows for input sampling, resampling and tweaking all at the same time. BTW to jump into this filter thread, i've been using the ASR 10(waveboy) and X Dist-VCF-DDL exclusively for this. First I sample/resample a wave with filter moves, then I do the start point mod on it. Set both the cutoff and start point mod to the Modwheel and wank it. This works great for short percussive sounds and by assigning one of the mods and pitch to velocity you can get some really cool arpegiating, sample and holdish stuff. Reversing the mod amounts is kinda cool too. For the longer sweepy stuff take a straight synth sound(any synth/sampler you got lying around), sequence it on one track(assuming you have a computer) Take the synth/sampler outs and put em through the ASR, next record modulation moves for the ASR effect into the sequencer on a different track. No note data, just controller. Hit play and all the moves should playback with the sequenced track. I tried the Sherman but too expensive just to use for filtering. The Novation and Peavey pieces were cheap and gives you some sounds, but mmm missing something. If I was going to spend the money i'd probably get a Midi Mini from SE electronics. I borrowed one for about a month and I was very sad to give it back. It has that, how can I describe it, woody sound ya know.

I go to this: audio recording any seq or song track individually and consecutively to SCSI HDD with its own effect to create independent disk tracks for further processing. But then I can't playback any recorded disk track only and all others muted. Look, I still use only RAM memory /10MB/. Help! 2. How can ASR-10 create sys-ex messages? 3. Please, let me know about the pages "calibrate keyboard", "gpr monitor", "midi loop", etc. shown on the display after pressing the COMMAND button, then ENV1 button repeatedly.

It will cause loading a bank or an instrument. If that's it, remove it and you should be fine. The program change could end up in your sequence in very many normal everyday situations.

Hi all, I've been on the list for about a week now so it's about time I introduce myself; My name is Per Klintberg, a keyboard/percussion/guitar type of musiclover, living in Sweden. Without much knowledge or training I bought an Ensoniq SQ1+32 in 93, and from there on the story goes. I picked up the guitar a hot summer night in 96, since then I've developed a nice and working relationship with the instrument. The guitar is where I find most of my melodies and joy of musicmaking, though I can't say I play it very well at all. I just find it more intuitive and relaxed than a keyboard. Last year I discovered I had a sleeping talent in percussion and drumming, which I do a lot of now. Music style? nah... I don't know. Robbie Robertson's latest album is currently my favourite, followed by R.E.M's 'New adventures...' and I'm really looking forward to hear the new Bel Canto album. I'm preparing for studying a few years and want to make my setup more self-contained and simple. Too much gear getting in the way... I'm considering bying a used ASR, to replace an ESI-32 and a few synths. I found the pages at soundcentral and the transoniq hacker but although very good, I want to ask you; Bying a used ASR, what is there to look out for? Somewhere I read that units produced after 1995-something doesn't accept certain memory configurations. Also I think I noticed they changed the display from led to 'backlit-lcd' at some point. Maybe I got this wrong. I have a SyQuest EZ-drive I have used with the ESI, do you know if it works ok with the ASR? Well, down to it, I don't want to pay for a unit that needs that and that and that and that to get it up to date, or even working. I don't want to get lost in this djungle, I really will listen to any voice or noise guiding me in the distance. Or, 'Thanks a lot', so to speak. ;-) regards, /Per Klintberg ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

I have a SyQuest EZ-drive I have used with the ESI, do you know= if it works ok with the ASR? In my humble ASR-10 experience (1993 to present, never looked back): I use a Syquest EZ-drive (135MB), and it has always worked very satisfact= orily with my ASR-10. Regarding what to look out for buying a used ASR-10, much as I love the = ASR-10 (It is by far my favourite sampler - I often work using only an = MPC-60 and an ASR-10), I think that it is a tricky sampler to buy used = because it does have its quirks, and can appear to be working properly, = even when it has developed a fault or two. I am not saying this to discourage you, but I am just trying to be honest= about potential flaws, and I do think that one needs to be more careful = with an ASR-10. Once you have a good one you are in heaven, but........... Five things I would suggest are: 1. First, allow yourself at least an hour to test out the ASR. 2. Try and buy one with the SCSI option already installed. As I have disc= overed painfully, the Ensoniq SCSI is a joy and very reliable once it wor= ks, but can be a bit tricky to get working even for Ensoniq approved serv= ice agents. 3. Some sick ASR 10's (especially dry joints) will give you ERROR CODE = ..... REBOOT? messages way too often, but they do not neccessarily appear= within the first few minutes of use or "under light loads". Fill up the = memory to near maximum, run the sequencer (to use up all of the ASR-10's = polyphony) and run a good few of the sounds through the effects. This may not seem very scientific (and it may well sound horrible) but = it can help to show up any problems. 4. Listen to the output in both 44.1 kHz mode and 30 kHz mode and play = some clean sounds through the 44.1 kHz reverbs/effects and listen out for= signs of popping and/or distortion. Either of these suggest illnesses. 5. Sample at both sampling frequencies to ensure analog-to-digital is wor= king well. All this said, if you spend a reasonable amount of time creating or modif= ying your actual sounds, or you want to do alot of musical manipulations = of audio, AND you are willing to spend a bit of time getting to understan= d the amazing potential of the ASR-10, you are making the right decision.= Take the ASR-10 plunge. For me, nothing beats it. ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

There are, or at least "were", little boxes by a company called Anatek called MIDI filters, that would allow one of these instruments to receive on just one channel by filtering out any messages sent on a channel other than the one allowed by the little box.

They seem to be supporting the X quite well - I just wish they would respond with "we are planning to put this in", or something like that so we'd know they responded to a particular item. It's the way of things nowadays to put features in gradually. But it's harder for a company to do that, since our expectations are much higher now. The X comes much shorter than the ASR-10 in many areas - now, Ensoniq may say that the X isn't intended to do everything, but that doesn't change what we might expect of it. For example, Ensoniq may never have had to put the Song mode stuff in. But they did - maybe with a shortcoming or two. On the other hand, with the MR/ZR stuff, they never did put the EPS/ASR reading in. They didn't have to (although they advertised it), but nevertheless, it should be in their best interest to put the most relevant features on a particular machine.

I'm beginning to appreciate what work they have put into the ASR-X though; it must be the only sampler that uses 'open' standards such as DOS disk formats, AIFF samples, standard MIDI files, good SCSI etc. btw. does anyone know (Garth?) if the file format specifications for the ASR-X's various parameter files are available from Ensoniq? I wouldn't mind a look, just to see how things are being done!

Plus, you look really dandy) (As for the McDonalds, I'm trying to cut down). So feel free to flame an arrogant, cheese & garlic stinking Frenchman (I put on my Napoleon's hat) who dares answering this, although not beeing an authentic, genuine Irish. "Classical" instruments in Irish music are, as you said, the "tin whistle" (a diatonic metal kind of recorder, exists in various keys & flavors. Costs about $3), but also the bagpipes and especially the "Uillean pipe" (a highly sophisticated monster with quite a bunch of pipes and drones), the "Bohran" (hand-held single headed drum, played with a two-tips beater), the Irish bouzouki (yes !), the accordion, and of course the celtic (diatonic) harp, symbol of the country (and of some beer). Not to forget the voice. I strongly doubt that a convincing sampled emulation of the tin whistle could be made (unless you use just a few licks or attacks) : it's the simplicity of the instrument and the cleverness of the player that give it so much expression (Irish are terrific musicians. No kidding here). You could try a Yamaha VL-1 with a wind controller perhaps... Or buy one and try to learn to play it ! (seems to be the best idea).

First, I have to say that it took me a while to have have everything playing fine without "hiccups" as you describe them. Before giving you any hint, some questions need to be answered: 1) Are your Hiccups experienced only by the EPS? If all your gear is acting the same way , I suggest you subscribe to the following list: cakewalk-l@sunsite.smc.univie.ac.at or maybe the Cakewalk NewsGroup at news.cakewalk.com. 2) Do you have Audio tracks recorded in your Cakewalk sequence? Cakewalk is known to have trouble performing a perfect sync between Audio and Midi when chasing external timecode. It took me a couple of weeks of trial and error, but I have a pretty stable setup now. 3) What are your midi connections? The configuration of your midi chain is also important. Sometimes, undesired "midi echos" can cause synths to act weird. 4) Since you're using PPS-2, I suppose you have recorded a time code track (audio) on the ADAT. The level and type (30ND, 30DF, 29.97, etc.) at which it is recorded and played back are very critical. Bottom line...It is not obvious. I could think of another thousand things that could cause your setup to behave as you say. What ever you do, be patient and systematic in your trial error process. The temptation is sometimes very high to throw the whole thing out the window! Don't hesistate to write me private with more details if it is not EPS related.

(Internationalites: dont flame me for being a stupid american...I > watch too much TV and eat too much McDonalds.) That's the uillean (pronounced "ilin") pipe, the Irish version of the bagpipe. It is played by squeezing a bellows under the arm instead of blowing into a bag. Davy Spillane played one in Riverdance. It is the most difficult bagpipe to play. Anybody got a good sample of one? It has a different sound from the Scottish Highland pipes. Though I love Irish music more than any other kind, I too am a little concerned about its current rage and ubiquitousness. Rages die out as quickly as they come. I've been doing Irish dancing for years, and it went from "what's that?" to "Wow, cool!" Pretty soon it will be "Big friggin' deal."

It's the very first musical instrument heard in the soundtrack and the movie. Eric Rigler (of "Braveheart" fame) performed it and Tin Whistle on the soundtrack. As a side-note, I had the pleasure to meet Eric and hear him play impromptu in 1996 late one night in a soundroom at a company I used to work for.

I get it frequently as I hack ASR-X files - it comes up when a file isn't right for the Ensoniq. Sometimes the file loads, sometimes it doesn't.

I for one, am not fussed weather Ensiniq has a new sampler for a while. Since I got my DAW (mac 8600, korg1212, Yamaha O3D) about 5 months ago I need my sampler much much less. There are some things samplers do better and vice versa. About the only thing I lust for in "other" samplers is the filters on the emu 4 series. All the other brands can kiss my a** , cause while, as T. Speer rightly points out, you can get more voices or better SCSI, and even some resonance on the filters, in the sampler market in general, there is nothing new under the sun. I don't care that I can put 256 mb of ram in it and detach the (still tiny by editing software on a computer screen standards) front panel edit section. To me this is total bs marketing crap. I can just hear the Akai designers and marketeers sitting around having a meeting.... =========== Marketing guy to r&d: "gee fellas, dont we have any new unheard of ideas for the new range, to give people a reason to upgrade? r&d: errr, sorry, no. To be honest, there was nothing new about our last range either. Remember we had this conversation last time. We just ended up putting more ram and more voices in it. marketing: Oh yeah, thats right . I remember now. Well, lets just do the same again. How many voices, and how much ram does the current Emu have? r&d: 128 voices, and up to 128mb ram. marketing: OK, can we double those numbers? r&d: Well, maybe we could double the maximun ram, but our current technology won't allow us any more than 128 voices. marketing: sheesh! what do we pay you guys for? OK, get on with it. Oh hang on! I have an idea. Lets put a detachable front on our flagship model so we can charge more for it. Otherwise people will realise that the technology is identical to the lower models. ============ Rant over ==/==/==/==/==/==/==/==/== Paul Najar Jaminajar Production Composition Arrangement Performance 61 2 93607234 (fax) 61 2 93601985 ============================================================================= This mailing list is processed through Majordomo at Oakland University.

Hi, I have an ASR10 and Emagic Logic Audio (LAW) on my PC. I am configuring my LAW environment to use my ASR as a multi instrument. As part of the set-up LAW lets me set-up banks of 128 sounds (eg: standard midi or whatever) for the multi instrument. This would allow to me select my bank of instruments on Logic without have to load the instruments by hand on the ASR each time I hit the studio. My question is, can I set sounds for my ASR to load as a bank per the LAW multi-instrument? My current configuration is set-up with 2 SCSI devices hooked up to the ASR (Ez 135 (SCSI 4) and an Iomega 230 (SCSI 6)). I use the Iomega cart to store sequences, soundbanks, and instruments specific for each song (I change soundbanks for every sound since I sample guitars, backing vocals, etc. for each song). I use the Ez135 to store all of my non-song-specific sounds (ie: Audio CD Samples, Ensoniq sounds, etc.) I have them set-up in directories like: SCSI 4>SOUNDS>BASSES>REAL>FUNKBASS1. - - Can I use my ez135 cart as a bank on LAW with each sound having its own unique number that LAW will recognize and be able to load? - - Would I have to assign macros to each instrument? - - Would I have to use each ASR Soundbank (1 for each song) that I have created as the soundbanks on LAW (each bank would only contain 8 instruments)? How would Logic recognize them? - - Does each sound that I've already saved to the ez 135 cart have a unique location that LAW would be able to use as is? What If I have more than 128 sounds saved? - - How do I figure out what standard midi messages that LAW sends out to locate the ASR instruments? (ie: how do I figure out the instrument locations on the ez135 to tell LAW where they are? Thanks for putting up with the long list of questions (although they all can probably be addressed with one answer).

I use a TS10 , sometimes in conjuction with GM files(can't you just here all those ASR(x),EPS guys hitting the delete button)and wonder if what I'm looking for is out there? I convert GM files on PC using TS10SMF convertor and EDM utilities , both of which do a fine job.With the TS10SMF comes a set of GM sounds for loading into the TS10.You can load in 120 sounds arranged in GM format (GM-TS) into banks U0 and U1.This is fine for getting a basic idea of what the track sounds like , but the sounds themselves are pretty pale compared with the TS sounds. Has anyone out there organised a set of 120 TS sounds in the same format so instead of the intial run through of the track sounding OK it should sound excellent.This should be a good base to start building up the track.Also has anyone built up a good sounding TS drum kit to a GM map. I know I must sound a little lazy , but there must be help out there somewhere and if not , I'll do it myself(steady on now) and let you guys know in case you want a copy.

Has anyone ever experienced the following: I saved a song w/sequences, and saved the bank - but I didn't save the instruments because I didn't have to. I had modified them in a previous session. Then, I powered down and came back later, reloaded the bank, and one, but only one, of the instruments sounded like the loop portion of the sample was messed up. There was a high pitched clicking in the loop, and it changed depending on the key, as in, it was in a certain part of the loop. The rest of the instruments were fine, and the effects hadn't been changed... I powered down and back up, then reloaded the instrument by itself and it was still messed up... I don't get it. I ended up having to delete it from the diskette and copy it from hard drive and modify it again. At first I thought it was a hardware problem, but when I realized that the problem was only on that instrument, I breathed a little easier. I'm pretty sure the sound somehow got saved when I saved the bank, or song, but I didn't tell it to save it... The only thing I did that I could think might have caused the problem was; with the EMU Strings sample (from the GAND sound library - GSL-003) I had changed the octave transposition from -2 to +2 and it was playing havoc with the oscillator, even more so when I moved the MOD wheel, but it sounded cool, so I played with it for a bit. I thought that maybe that could damage the hardware, but I can't really see how... I mean, the oscillator is made to oscillate, right? Even if it _is_ an outrageous sound, it's still only a waveform, right? Or is there some kind of limitation not included in the documentation, that I should know about? (I had also thought that the diskette might be corrupt, but it worked fine when I copied the sample from hard drive to the diskette again, and it's my main OS diskette, and it also contains most of the other sounds in that bank, and they were fine) If anyone has any ideas, I'd be glad to hear them...

On my Mac, I can print any document to a Postscript file,, and then make a PDF from the .ps file using Adobe Distiller (which comes with Adobe Exchange). So, if someone has this document in an electronic format, I can probably make a PDF of it. If the guys at Ensoniq want to provide me with the manual's source, I'd be happy to make it into a PDF at no charge (althought I'm sure they wouldn't want to have their documentation source without signing an NDA or something, which is cool with me). Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Hi,

Since I bought a sound card for my PC, I've been tending to use it = more and=20 more and I have hardly touched my EPS16+. Its simply because its so easy = on the=20 PC, I can quickly audition and edit samples on the fly without rummaging = through=20 a box of iffy floppies. I used to write whole tracks just using the EPS = and some=20 of them are my best. I guess I've been spoilt by the PC's speed etc. My = point is=20 that I have a powerful bit of kit thet as wasted, so I'm thinking about = taking=20 the plunge and getting a SCSI interface for it. Judging by the content = of this=20 list I would imaging that many people are in a similar position. I = posted a=20 question about SCSI sometime ago and I got a lot of response, but I am = still=20 confused and not confident enough to part with my hard earned dosh.

If I buy a SCSI interface for my EPS16+, will it be SCSI - 1 or SCSI = - - 2=20 or....?

If I want to connect a hard disk (1.2gb or bigger) a CD - Rom drive, = and=20 maybe a ZIP drive at some point, do I have to worry about terminators = etc.

Are there any makes of drives that don't work with the EPS ?

If I add a SCSI card to the PC, can the PC and EPS share the same=20 peripherals, i.e use the ZIP drive or CD - Rom for the PC as well as the = EPS ?=20

Finally, I am in England, so does anyone know if I can get hold of a = SCSI=20 interface here ?

I would really appreciate any help on this, thanks in advance
