----- News saved at Mon Jul 30 12:28:45 1984 HELLO KEYBOARD PLAYERS... ----- News saved at Wed Aug 1 15:41:02 1984 hello, Since I am the Lead VMS systems programmer I don't known much about UNIX or other 'toy' operating systems (snicker...). (only kidding) I would like to discuess the possibility of developing a totally interactive 32 track midi digitsl recording system on a dec pdp of dsome type. I am designing an interface to my vax 11/780 system for kicks but its kind of hard to afford on for my house. (maybe a microvax later). I agree totally on the synclavier....but for that kind of dollars im not sure if it wouldnt be more fun to keep a ski lodge in Austria... What i think is a valid answer to the keyboard recording pronblem at present is to purchase a digital recorder that interfaces with midi and a drum machine that interfaces with midi. then buy one or two really good boards..ie dx9 or jupiter8 or profet( a shoet note: i relaay can spell its just that on this terminal i cant delete a character easily.... anyway... and finally picking up 6 chap 'cheap' midi boards.. ie: rolabd 'roland' 106 or korg 800.. then you can delvelop 8 track recordings using 8 different voices on a digital system thus disposing of analog tape and re-recording tracks due to one note slip-ups... anay comments ????
