John, Ray Reck set up an incredible Eventide Users group on Yahoo that works in a very innovative way, better than any other I 've seen so far. We have a 20 mega files area with docs, pdf, txt, mp3s AND sif, actual programs for DSP4000/7000/Orville that any user can upload to his machine.Lots of infos on ANYTHING. Everybody can put his files there for all the group. THEN we also have a very functional CHAT section in which I give support world-wide to Eventide users. We have a weekly appointment in which people from US, Italy, Germany,Sweden and other countries get together and learn how to program audio/control/interface aspects of Eventide platforms. The great thing is that anybody can go to the Eventide webpages (www.eventide.com) and download VSIGfile, a graphical (and txt editor) for ANY machine (gtr/Dsp4000/4500/7000/75007Orville), swap machines databases and be on the chat working all together on patches, having Vsig OPEN aside the chat page. Then we e-mail each other programs, since Vsig can save them in very light files that anybody can upload to his machine. It's working AWESOME and lots of people are there...learning a lot. We have people that don't have en Eventide yet BUT are learning its programming structures and lingo, just by being there, following the on-line tutorials (with lots of questions). These "wanna try it" people have Vsig on their pcs and I send them a machine database so that it works. No other place has these features to my knowledge. The Users Group works since last November 29, in 4 months we are 153 people, including high end engineers, betatesters, programmers, studio engineers, musicians and factory guys too. Level and pro is pretty high. Lots of benefits to find out what is good for what task or not, in the Eventide area...and more!!! Lots of people from Looper's Delight are there too. KYMa users are there too. It's a very omnicomprehensive and rewarding experience that I strongly advice anybody to try. Next "ON-LINE Tutorial Session" is fixed for tomorrow, Wednesday, at midnight central Europe time, 6pm New York time, 3pm Los Angeles time. I'd really like to meet you there (if YOU're not too shy!!!)!!! these are the adresses: Post message: eventide-users@yahoogroups.com Subscribe: eventide-users-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Unsubscribe: eventide-users-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com List owner: eventide-users-owner@yahoogroups.com URL to this page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eventide-users everybody is VERY welcome regards Italo ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Tidwell" <wedgehed@yahoo.com> To: "Loopers Delight" <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2001 1:06 PM Subject: Kyma question for Dennis Leas.... > Dennis, > > Are you still using just the base Kyma system to > come up with all of your looping patches? > > Also, what would be the closest Eventide equivilent > to a base Kyma system?
