source file: mills3.txt Date: Tue, 13 Jan 1998 01:27:47 +0100 Subject: Newbie needs help about synthesisers From: Pierre Funck I want to generate microtonal music (31-TET, to be precise) with a Mac. Can anyone give me some advice (i) which sequencer software and (ii) which synthesiser is most appropriate for this? Is it true that the old Yamaha DX-7 is one of the very few synths that are able to do microtonal music, in contradistinction to most newer models? I have been offered an old DX-7 for about $400, so is this a bargain, or is it more advisable to buy a newer model? (BTW, I am not at all interested in weird sound effects!) Please reply to my email address (funck@umnw.ethz.ch), not to the list. Thanks a lot in advance Pierre Funck Wettingerwies 7, CH-8001 Zurich, Switzerland Phone +41-79-403 32 39, Fax +41-790-403 32 39 SMTPOriginator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu From: mr88cet@texas.net (Gary Morrison) Subject: Re: MIDI/Audio wish list PostedDate: 13-01-98 02:57:04 SendTo: CN=coul1358/OU=AT/O=EZH ReplyTo: tuning@eartha.mills.edu $MessageStorage: 0 $UpdatedBy: CN=notesrv2/OU=Server/O=EZH,CN=coul1358/OU=AT/O=EZH,CN=Manuel op de Coul/OU=AT/O=EZH RouteServers: CN=notesrv2/OU=Server/O=EZH,CN=notesrv1/OU=Server/O=EZH RouteTimes: 13-01-98 02:56:29-13-01-98 02:56:29,13-01-98 02:56:18-13-01-98 02:56:18 DeliveredDate: 13-01-98 02:56:18 Categories: $Revisions: Received: from ns.ezh.nl ([137.174.112.59]) by notesrv2.ezh.nl (Lotus SMTP MTA SMTP v4.6 (462.2 9-3-1997)) with SMTP id C125658B.000AA8EE; Tue, 13 Jan 1998 02:56:55 +0100 Received: by ns.ezh.nl; (5.65v3.2/1.3/10May95) id AA22941; Tue, 13 Jan 1998 02:57:04 +0100 Date: Tue, 13 Jan 1998 02:57:04 +0100 Received: from ella.mills.edu by ns (smtpxd); id XA22937 Received: (qmail 21499 invoked from network); 12 Jan 1998 17:57:02 -0800 Received: from localhost (HELO ella.mills.edu) (127.0.0.1) by localhost with SMTP; 12 Jan 1998 17:57:02 -0800 Message-Id: Errors-To: madole@mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@eartha.mills.edu
