Does anyone know where I could find a PAD-8 adaptation? If one can't be found I'm willing to take a shot at writing one myself if that's what it takes. Is there anything I should know before I start writing an adaptation for the PAD-8? For instance, can I simply edit and "dumb-down" the existing PAD-80 adaptation? Are there any particular thorny issues I should watch out for? Thanks in advance, James

And the money I'd save on hardware (i.e. being able to use cheap PC stuff instead of Apple) would easily enable me to pay for it.

There is an adaptation for the R-5, but there is no way to edit the parameters (due to the lack of an editor). Is anyone aware of plans to write editors for this adaptation, or should I roll-up my sleeves and begin writing my own? If I resort to writing my own, is anyone aware of particular issues with the R-5 that I should watch out for? Thanks again (in advance), James

Yeah, that would be the most logical approach if the SPX is pretty much stationary in a studio rack. Mine also gets hauled around all over the place in a guitar rig, where a Bradshaw switching system changes presets on the various processors, and daisy-chains all MIDI gear. I s'ppose I could make sure the SPX is last in the chain. If you happen to bump into that SOS article it might be lovely if you could give me a quick shout. But I guess for now maybe I'll just open that baby up and look for the big toggle switch. Might be straightforward enough. Ta! Peter -- Peter Storn Project http://www.peterstorn.com

Thanks for all the response and assistance. To answer a few of Jens' questions, SD3.0 is my first version of SoundDiver, and I upgraded my P2K software to v2.21 before I got SD3.0, so I don't know about any other combinations, although I've heard of many people with old SD's as well as SD3.0 having no problems with original P2K. I've also heard of people having problems with SD3.0 and P2K v1.21 (2nd upgrade from original, 2.21 is 3rd), although the manifestations are different than mine. These people have posted on P2K user groups, also on yahoo groups. One other thing I have in common with Cyril is the MOTU MTP-AV, just for your benefit. One cannot adjust the SysEx speed of it, however. Also the P2K's SysEx Packet Delay feature is for transmission of SysEx, not reception of it, so it's irrelevant here. I also think the MTP-AV has nothing to do with it because my Pro/Cussion module talks to SD3.0 with no problems. Regards, Mark Mitchell

Hi EXS24 Users! We´ve just opened a Downloads section on our Website providing some free Sample Instruments for our beloved EXS Sampler :-) It contains some electronic Drum & Percussion Kits and multisampled Synth Waveforms. Since the sample files are in WAV format, they can of coarse be used in any other sampler or application as well. :-) So have a look and come back from time to time, cause as soon we have some new interesting material we´ll put it there. www.first-wave-music.de Greetings Jojo & Mike F I R S T W A V E

>>although there even *was* a complete German customization for instance and they did withdraw everything and promised to continue developing BeOS. Did you mean there was German customization of Logic for BeOS? I wasn't sure what you meant. Was Logic for BeOS nearly finished? (not that it matters now!) I suppose it's fair to say that BeOS is a "hobbyist" OS now - simply because there is no major backing from software developers. The number of users is probably pretty small. A lot of people on the Be sites debate what a "living" and "dead" OS is. I suppose if it meets your needs, that's good, but if there's no one who believes it is worth investing in then it cannot grow and will fade into obscurity. However, I don't think Be, Inc. 's story is over yet. Look at this article by Scot Hacker (Byte magazine) about BeIA at CES: http://www.byte.com/column/BYT20010125S0002 If Be is able to gain some success with BeIA, I doubt that they will abandon BeOS entirely. The question is if Be, Inc. is able to give it attention before it is entirely overshadowed by MacOS X for instance. There are upcoming updates for OpenGL and BeOS networking, whether this will be combined into a major point release with other goodies, who knows - (there's all that other rumored stuff like Java, Opera 4, etc.) - will it be too little too late? Be, Inc. bet the company for BeIA, just to survive maybe, but they may have frightened so many developers that they ended up killing BeOS. However, if you look at www.bebits.com there is life. Obviously these developers don't have the resources of major software companies, and it's true that many of the offerings are geek-ware or gadgets - but there are really a lot of incredible efforts going on. It shows incredible devotion on the part of BeOS fans, as Scot Hacker mentions in his article. A lot of people, (maybe foolishly) think this is an OS worth waiting for!

Sorry Francis for not making this 100% clear. What I meant was a German translation of BeOS. This was a "funny" thing, because just some weeks before it was available, everyone has speculated that BeOS was dead and Be tried to show that they are still in... I am sincerely sorry that BeOS did not get attention due to a lack of professional support, because it definitely was _the_ OS! Cheers Thomas

If you want the E4 load a specific bank from its hard disk, record SoundDiver's output while you click a bank name in the Catalog editor window (with the "AutoLoad" option enabled).

hi I just received my update(hiey!). The program has scanned my set-up and found my Unitor 8 mkII,my O1 w and my triton pro,it requested the data from all units with success except for the Triton. With this unit the request takes a very long time and seems to be always importing bank A of the programs(at least that is what I see on the unit) and after 10 minutes or so,it stops and I have no data in the module. What is wrong? Thanks Pierre P.S Dual 450 G4 Mac Unitor 8 MK II through usb.

Subject: Roland JX-8P problems >I'm having problems finding out how to send sound data from my Roland >JX-8P over to Sounddiver. >I've been able to dump data from/to the JX-8P using other librarians, Really?, which ones. I've been using diver for years and have gotten used to this behavior from my 8p I have to dump everything one sound at a time, and each dump has to be initiated from the 8p's front panel. I can get my libraries to dump from computer to 8p. this works pretty well. so I'm basically using diver as a back up. with some machines you are really better off keeping clear of diver and editing in the machine itself. Either the adaptations aren't so well written or the synth isn't so great at midi implementation, but as far as the 8p, I think what you are seeing is pretty much "normal" in diver. I'm on mac, and there is an environment in logic that edits every parameter on the 8p. (a sysex fader for every knob that would normally be on a pg-800. Much more efficient than going to diver. I took this editor and copied the sysex messages to my peavey pc1600 so now I pretty much have a real time controller. (not quite as good as a pg800, but it's very useful.) can you write create/define faders in notator? hope this helps Kelly Mason >What happens is that I get some sort of communication between the JX-8P >and the computer, but only one sound at a time.

> I am sincerely sorry that BeOS did not get attention due to a lack of > professional support, because it definitely was _the_ OS! The "lack of professional support" was on the part of Be, Inc., not developers such as emagic, Steinberg, et al. Many music-software companies (the one that I work for included) were developing BeOS versions of our products. Then Be announced that they were shifting their emphasis to "internet appliances". Since it is very expensive for a company to port their products to a new platform like BeOS, it was difficult for us to continue to believe that this effort would ever be worthwhile, if the makers of the operating system itself were shifting their attention away from the pro music market. In short, the future of the BeOS suddenly became very unclear because of Be, Inc.'s own actions, and we shelved any further work with it indefinitely so as to concentrate on better-established platforms. It's a matter of limited resources, not technological superiority. (Of course, this is just my perspective on the matter. I do not presume to speak for emagic or any other company.) --Adam
