Casio CZ-1 / Roland MT-32 / And other wonderful cheap miracles...
Sealed, I just wanted to thank you for putting up such a thorough and "deep" site. I believe it was your work with the Casio CZ-1 that inspired me to start on the journey of highly-programmable inexpensive synths. The CZ-1 has been one of my favorite noisemakers ever and I was able to get remarkable pads out of the MT-32. Despite my various versions of Sounddiver (I have 3.04 and 3.05 for PC), I could never really play with your wonderful editors. I have an Ibook and I'm able to extract the SIT files into usable libraries but my sounddiver never seems to recognize them. I'm able to use all kinds of editors and libraries from the net but your MT-32 editor especially escapes me. Honestly, I'm really only looking for one sound and that will make the purchase of my MT-32 a bargain. You have a PAD with RINGMOD mp3 on your site that is one of the most gorgeous things I've heard. Is there any way to get just that sound exported to SYSEX? I appreciate any assistance you can give and keep up the good work. You do a great service to everyone by exposing them to amazing sound creation tools that they can get for a song on the net (I paid 175 for my CZ-1 and 40bucks for my MT-32). Take care, dj maxwellhouse los angeles, CA |

Re: Casio CZ-1 / Roland MT-32 / And other wonderful cheap miracles...
Thanks for your comments, dj maxwellhouse!! Yes, I like that cheap miracles, especially the synths that has nonstandard synthetic features. And I'm glad to see you have SoundDiver, too. Please use Stuffit Expander (free) to use my .sit files. http://www.stuffit.com/ I think it will work, and please tell me if there's any problems. I'm not going to upload SysEx on my site, and I lost some data due to the recent HD crush. But when I found out, I'll contact you later.... And thanks for your link - I'm downloading your songs now (through the narrowband here). "The Mark" sounds cool - good rhythms/pads and also sounds tender.... I'll check more later. |

SOUNDDIVER Easy Editor for MT-32
Thanks! I appreciate you checking out my music. I really like that site because it's all based around making people listen to music if they want their own to be heard. Regarding the editors you created for Sounddiver: I have sounddiver and I'm able to extract the sit file (both on my PC and on my MAC. The problem is the *.ADA editor file is not being recognized by sounddiver and I've tried putting it in every folder Sounddiver looks in. I've tried opening it with sounddiver. Heck, I've even tried opening the ADA files in a Hex Code editor and matching them up with *.ada files that I know work. It's no use. I do, however have an old powerbook that is still running OS 9. What version Sounddiver do you have and maybe I can find a copy somewhere. Wouldn't be so bad to have a dedicated midi machine anyway (aside from my Hybrid Arts racked Atari (what a relic!). Thanks again. -Max For your reference and information; MY STUDIO (I do some selling and trading so I always have a selection on hand): SYNTHS: AKAI 3000XL Sampler + Reverb and Filter card Casio CZ-1 (x2) EMU XL-1 (deep modulation matrix with math ability) Ensoniq Fizmo Korg Triton Pro 76key w/MOSS+SCSI, Dance extreme and Future Loop cards + expanded RAM Korg 01R/W (great waveshaping distortion) Korg Wavestation A/D Korg Electribe ER-1 Kurzweil Midiboard controller (ver 2- ordered daughterboard upgrade from Hal Chamberlin) Kurzweil 1200 Pro II (another deeeeeep programming racksynth) MOOG Micromoog Oberheim Matrix 6R Roland JX-8P Roland JD-800 Roland MT-32 (purchased after finding your site) Rhodes Chroma Polaris (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS SYNTH!!) Roland PMA-5 Handheld Sequencer Yamaha DJX-I (PSRDJ-1)(x2) (This was a marvel for what it cost. Amazing functionality and a cheap and usefull alternate controller becuase all knobs, ribbons send out nrpn or controller info. Also, when part select button is pressed, bottom octave can change channel that controllers and keys are sent out on!! In effect, it acts as a quick-change 6-channel midi controller. Unit has very decent sound, infinitely tweakable patterns, multi-timbral, patterns sent out as midi, and it's a rudimentary sampler. also the filters are pretty **** nice for a cheap digital device.) Yamaha QY70 Handheld Sequencer (x3) (Love my QY70! It has 99 variations of real-time groove quantize on each channel in addition to the great harmonizing functions and editable XG parameters.) Yamaha AN-200, DX-200 (As you know, these boxes are amazing. Especially love their similarity to "analog sequencers" with respect to the ability to tweak gate, pitch, velocity of each sequence step while running.) OTHER STUDIO: AKAI ME20A Midi Arpeggiator, MOTU Midi Timepiece, MOTU Traveller Interface, Behringer 32channel Digital mixer, Mackie 1402 w/vlz, Finalizer Plus, BBE 882 Sonic Maximizer, Dbx compressor, DBX 31band graphic eq, Lexicon Mpx100, Lexicon PCM60, Lexicon MPX200, Lexicon Vortex, Electrix Filter Factory Analogue Filter, Electrix Warp Factory Vocoder, Electrix Repeater Performance Looper, Zoom RFX2000 multi-efx, Roland Space Echo RE-201, Pioneer Spring Reverb, Small Stone Phaser Pedal, Oxygen 8 Controller, Radium 49 Key Controller. |

Re: Casio CZ-1 / Roland MT-32 / And other wonderful cheap miracles...
Hi, Max! I'm very sorry to be late.... > Thanks! I appreciate you checking out my music. I really like that site because it's all based around making people listen to music if they want their own to be heard. The site allows direct .mp3 downloading, and I think it's very useful. > The problem is the *.ADA editor file is not being recognized by sounddiver and I've tried putting it in every folder Sounddiver looks in. I've tried opening it with sounddiver. Heck, I've even tried opening the ADA files in a Hex Code editor and matching them up with *.ada files that I know work. It's no use. I do, however have an old powerbook that is still running OS 9. What version Sounddiver do you have and maybe I can find a copy somewhere. Wouldn't be so bad to have a dedicated midi machine anyway (aside from my Hybrid Arts racked Atari (what a relic!). Thanks again. Try putting the .ADA file into the "Diver" folder. Then run SoundDiver and open "Install" window, and there should be "CASIO CZ-1," "Roland MT-32" etc. To use the editor on Mac, it would be better you carry the .sit file into your Mac, and decompress it with Mac's Stuffit. You have to get the green SoundDiver-file icon - if not, it might not be recognized by SoundDiver. I'm using SoundDiver 3.0.5.2, but most of my adaptation will work with any versions. Some adaptation need SoundDiver 3. Thanks for the list, and I'm very glad we share many synths like CZ, 01/W, Wavestation, MT, JX, AN200, and also RFX-2000, which are all my favorites. And I found there's many great gears too. MIDIBOARD is great for its wooden polyphonic aftertouch. Polaris was my dream when I was a child. AKAI ME20A is a little cool product, but I haven't actually played with it. DJX-1 is a nice product with interesting feature packed in a compact packagge. I was interested in it together with CS1x. AN200/DX200 are great machines. I only edited AN's sound, and haven't tried sequencing. But there seems to be very deep possibilities in the sequence realm, too. And how's your K1200 ProII? I know K1000/1200 are very deep programming synth with various modulations. But I haven't heard about the ProII version. And thanks for your list and comments! |
