Is the Roland battery powered? That would be >way< cool. bIz Tellme. News. Stock quotes. Movies. Excellent. 1.800.555.Tell Say 'extensions' and then '56789' to get to bIz's house of fun. -----Original Message----- From: Stephen [mailto:dakshah@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, August 07, 2000 12:59 PM To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: Roland handsonic (& battery-powered amp Q) I just picked up Roland Handsonic - a midi hand drum - WayWayWayKool(tm), and very accessable for anyone who has ever mistaken a table top for a drumming surface - http://www.rolandus.com/response.asp?id=r1_5_7_1 . It has a number of fairly good ethnic drum sounds, and a very good tabla implementaion. It is midi-syncable, and a loop-related feature is its pattern sequencer. It is not a terribly robust sequencer, but it does allow you to loop (midi) in record mode, and drop in and out of record mode, so you can lay down a riff, suspend record and improvise a little, then add more to the pattern. It has four tracks, but unfortunately it looks like you have to stop the pattern and write the data to move to another track (I haven't played with it enough to be sure though.) You can also map patterns to different sections of the drum surface. I'm hoping to sync it the the EDP soon. So, trying to go portable with this gizmo, does anyone here have any experience / comments on portable battery-powered amplifiers? I'm looking for something to be used for a variety of applications, but primairly synths. I'm considering the pignose hog-30 or the crate taxi (maybe the limo, which is 50W vs taxi's 30X). It looks like the MaxiMouse is no longer in production. thanks ===== Stephen __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Kick off your party with Yahoo!
