It's an extremely complicated program; certainly not a hack. It's rather impressive, actually. I'm wondering, is that a program that Apple is going to sell to developers, or will it be provided free? Wasn't it written by the guy from Ensoniq? With this program, and some midi instruments, you can conquer the music computer world (no kidding...). I only recall seeing one tool. Tool #35. Are there more? When is this program finally going to be released? Everyone's tired of hearing how great it is. Here's hoping Synth Lab will release the Apple IIGS out of it's coma... Lynda

As for that matter, when will we get Tool 35? Inquiring minds want to know. -- Paul Hutmacher paulh@nuchat.sccsi.com uunet!nuchat!paulh

Todd, in one of your many posts you say: > I positively _hate_ some of the lame sounding and noisy instruments that are > on the SynthLab beta disk... I'm not surprised in the least that you hate some things about it. My question to you is simple: When do you like anything? I don't mean to hurt your feelings or to flame you. _______________________________________________________________________________ | Scott Gentry * ALPE AFL Scott * I never said that!| | 2051 Mercator Drive * GEnie W.GENTRY * But you never | | Reston, VA 22091 * UUCP: uunet!ingr!ne1300! * know! | | (703) 264-5652 * brnded!scott * Do You? | |_____________________________________________________________________________|

My question >to you is simple: When do you like anything? I don't mean to hurt your >feelings or to flame you. No sweat, you've got a point -- I do rag on almost everything these days. I'll be the first to tell anybody that SynthLab is AWESOME. But when I demo it, I have to be wary of the damn audiophiles who'll snicker at a hissy horn instrument... and those are the people SynthLab was intended to impress. There are a lot of things about music development on the GS that need improving and bitching about it is the fastest way to get people thinking about finding solutions. Only sometimes the bitching comes out as generic hatred (see the quote of mine above) when the person bitching has had a lousy day. What I should have said, was, "Some of the instruments are noisy, lame sounding, or both, and that will have to be rectified before we can produce any real demos with MIDI Synth."

In-Reply-To: message from toddpw@tybalt.caltech.edu In my opinion, what really needs a little improving on the GS is the sound CIRCUTRY. It won't let the DOC playback at higher playback rates without signifigant signal corruption. Of course, this is only MY opinion :)

I have a copy of SynthLAB verson 1.0b2 and have had a little trouble with it when the program reaches the title screen. The program loads fine and displays the title screen. Next, the music begins to play, however, the keys on the piano do not work at all! It will work properly after jumping into the control panel and returning to the program. Any suggestions? My system is as follows: apple II gs cpu (rom 01) with 1.25 Meg The disk has the majority of the system files except: fonts, cdas, and icons Thanks in advance, Mark -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Miller Ellie...Ellie...Foo...Fellie! markm@mentor.cc.purdue.edu (She's back...watch out!!!) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

SynthLab is now available at 131.215.139.100 I encourage everyone who owns a GS to check it out... you won't believe your ears :-) It surpasses most of the limitations of SoundSmith (Is Mr Aalbers (sp) taking notes out there? :-), however you must have a midi interface/keyboard to enter data :-( If the samples I've heard so far are any indication then this program is going to become THE music development tool for the GS (assuming there are still people out there willing to do the development :-) -- /* Robert MacAusland -> macausla@newton.ccs.tuns.ca */

AA MIDI input....?

NOWAKO09@SNYBUFVA.BITNET (APPLE //GS - THE POWER TO BE YOUR BEST) (11/05/90)
Could someone tell me about SynthLab? I've seen the name kicked
around here and was wondering about it.
Does anyone know of any sound or music programs beyond the
following? -
Music Studio
Sound Studio
SoundSmith
Instant Synthesizer
Instant Music
Music Writer (Pyware)
I've been hunting around and can't seem to find any, time to make
some!
