I bought an ASDG Dual Serial Board because I needed a high-speed
serial port for MIDI.  The manual says that it handles "transfer rates from
50 to 76,800 baud", including MIDI [page 11].  Well guess what?  It does NOT
support the MIDI baud rate.  The manual is WRONG.

        This information comes directly from ASDG; I just called them.  The
chip in the DSB simply doesn’t handle the MIDI baud rate.  I believe they
said that it was a bug.

        Let this be a warning to anyone considering buying a DSB for
MIDI.

        ASDG did say that they were "considering" making a new
multiserial board that does support MIDI.

        So now I’m stuck with 2 devices that need the internal serial port:
a MIDI interface and a printer.  Now the MIDI must go on the internal port,
and the printer on the ASDG board.  But Printer Preferences doesn’t support
alternate serial devices yet (OS 2.04), so I have to kludge something to
get my PRT: output to the ASDG port (probably using "Cmd").  Grrr.  Sigh.

Ok, (by popular demand) I have put a music-disk by Walkman (& Tec) on

       wuarchive.wustl.edu       /systems/amiga/incoming/demos
       (or something like that)

in two files called

       walkman1.dms & walkman2.dms

This disk is a couple of years old so it may not work on new Amigas (I have
not tried it on anything else than my old A500). It should be quite easy to
rip the modules from the disk with MultiRipper anyway.

Have a nice summer!

Getting programs through mail is kind of tough for me to accomplish
(accessing the message bases through a Waffle BBS), so could somebody
upload that file to WUARCHIVE or a similar FTP site?  At one place, I get
access to messages; at another, FTP sites.  Internet segregation at its
best.

Hi folks,

     Well, after some 14 years at Tektronix, I finally got layed off.
With that, of course, my Usenet access will be going away too.  I’m not
sure just when, but it’ll be Real Soon Now.  So all of you who were
interested in the IFF FORM CMUS discussion on BIX, please send email to
my CompuServe email address:  "74756….@CompuServe.COM".  I’ll try to
send CI$ email to all the folks I was corresponding with via net.email.
(My sysadmin did say that he’d try to keep a mail .forward around for
me, so that any mail sent to my net.email address will get to me on
CompuServe.)

     I will try to set up AmigaUUCP at home, and get a newsfeed, but
I’ve no idea how long that will take, given that I’ll be looking for a
job at the same time.  (I’m still waiting for my v.32bis Supra modem; I
think that 2400 bps newsfeeds are getting rather unpopular around
here.)  Still, in Arnold’s immortal words,

                                       "I’ll be back,"
                                       –dds

I’m having problems with Show-em-da-bass on wuarchive.wustl.edu in
systems/amiga/incoming/mods/u4ia .  When I try to play it, most of the
sample are static.  Also, I get an error in decompression.  Is anybody
else having this problem or should I try to download it yet another time?

Thanks…

Lots of people mind.  C.s.a.audio is not a group for posting binaries.
It’s a discussion group.  There’s currently no good place to post
mods, but that doesn’t make it right to put them here.

Did you obtain permission from the authors of TOXOMANIA to release a
derivative of their work, or are you violating their copyright too?

Looking for good samples of real instruments.  I have found several
on nic.funet, and copies on wuarchive, but I still have not found
many samples of real instruments that you could say are ‘good’.

I’d appreciate a list of sites.

Does anyone know of a good utility to generate Amiga speech, SAY is
hopeless.

I’ve heard of something called SpeechToy, maybe this is what I need?

any replies appreciated
thanks

Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there would have some algorithms for
digital sound processing, like reverb, phasoring, chorus, etc…. (Any
others you can think of !)..  Also are there algorithms for changing the
tone/brightness of the sound digitally and which of these could be done
in real time.  That’s it for now !
        Thanks in advance…..
