>We had a huge vortex thread a while back that I guess you guys missed. I'm >in the process of putting old list postings up in an archive section of >the >website, so you can see it all soon. > >kim I compiled 6 subjects, but not the one about Vortex, because I do not own one yet. I hope one of the Vortex users can offer the 20 minutes to do it and then maybe send soon to Joe Cavaleri and Ted Killian even before website. They will invite you for a beer. I used the following form: The stars help in that you can search for them if you want to run through the file quickly. Date and sender. The subject I left out because its usually one for the whole file. I only left the new and afirmative text and erased, citations, errors, off topics and jokes (I love them when they are fresh, only). Questions I left in only if they were necessary to understand the answers. Sometimes it is necessary to cite a sentence to give the sense to the text following, especially if the origin is not immediately above in the file. In other situations I just changed the text and replaced the "it" or "this" by the expression it was refering to. I hope this turns into something compact, readable and easy to search. Any suggestions to do it better? ...to do it? Thanks Matthias PS have an example: ***** Date: Thu, 12 Sep 1996 10:00:22 -0500 (CDT) From: Dave Stagner <dstagner@icarus.leepfrog.com> Actually, I'm a professional programmer, and I have a pretty good grasp of numeric analysis programming and how audio works. My usual environment is Unix, but I'm sure I could pick up Mac/Windows programming easily enough if I tried. Yeah, I'm seriously considering buying a new Power Mac just to work on this idea. What do y'all think? Would you be willing to use a personal computer for a looping device? Do you HAVE a computer capable of this sort of thing? All the necessary hardware is built into Power Macs and most modern PCs. The whole thing could be sold as software, or even given away. Let's think about this. What sort of features would we like to see? What about the user interface? ***** Date: Thu, 12 Sep 1996 20:37:21 -0700 (PDT) From: Ray Peck <rpeck@pureatria.com> >A protools plug in and a standalone would be my choice. Way too expensive. I've been thinking more along the lines of Deck or Logic Audio. The machines are getting fast enough that one doesn't necessarily need to drop $10k on ProTools hardware. If people balk at $900 for an Echoplex, do you think they're gonna drop $15k for a machine and ProTools?!? --- It should be able to work with the upcoming Korg audio card, 'cause the Mac audio inputs are only around 70 db s/n. --- I'd also like to write a virtual analogue synth (patchable) that would work with it. --- I wonder if cmusic could be bent to the task. My understanding is that you can now do realtime stuff with cmusic on the Mac. Since it's all algorithmic, and the sources are available, this could be a very good foundation. ***** Date: Thu, 12 Sep 1996 20:56:08 -0700 (PDT) From: Ray Peck <rpeck@pureatria.com> --- Mac. Screen. Panel of momentary and on/off footswitches and pedals (preferably with giant backlight LCD displays on each one that the software could program to say something meaningful). --- The system would show you the waveform of what you've played, like Deck or any other digital audio recording SW does, so you could see what you were doing.
