Hi Folks first post and already a plea for help..... but some compaitbility info

by Chris Crosskey

Hi folks, I'm Chris, an EE from Oxford in England and the proud owner of a JS-30 (which arrived alst week) and an S750 (which arrived today).... I got them cos I used to won an S770 and although I never used it for much I remembered how much I liked the way it sounded also I loved the monitor output/mouse combo for editing on it. ANyway... plea/question time... My S750 has come with several OS disks up to version 1.06. WHat is the latest (or best if different) OS for the S750 and can anyone in Oxford/Abingdon/Didcot/Wantage/Witney let me copy there's... I can drop round this evening with the unit to copy the disk .... also does anyone know if sdiskw will work with USB floppy drives cos my laptop doesn't have an onboard floppy..... aslo is there a hack to put an internal SCSI device in the S750?... I was thinking of getting a SCSI flash-card reader of some description and sticking a 64Mb card in there as I would hope it'll be more reliable than a small (old) harddrive.. BTW JS-30's seem to be happy using Panasonic PD-drives as hard-drives (mine certainly sat there last night adn formatted one cheerfully enough) has anyone ever got a PD to work as both an MO and a CDROM simultaenously using the LUN switching or is that beyond the SCSI spec of an S-series? It didn't want to know about a 4Gb Micropolis I tried it with (bit on the big side I guess) but was happy with a truly ancient 160Mb Quantum.... Am I right in thinking that as long as I change the ID on one of the samplers then I could plug them both into the same drive as long as they don't simultaneously try to access it?... chrisc

by Nic Grant

to quote Chris Crosskey: => Might just stick DOS on a junkyard old Pentium I've got kicking around => somewhere and stick an oldish Adaptec card in it to get the best of all => worlds..... a lot of hassle though compared to dropping roudn soemone elses => house and copying one disk ..... I would imagine that the probability of an sgroup list member being anywhere physically near to you would be pretty slim. I would not be surprised if I was the closest to you (I'm in Dublin) Dunno why you would need an adaptec card to copy one disk though... All you need to do is create a bootable dos disk and boot from it with yer old pentium, assuming it has an ide floppy in it. If you're really stuck and can't get sorted, drop me an email off list with your address and I'll post out a copy of V2.25 to you on floppy. Nic.

I didn't have any luck using sdiskw with a USB zip drive, but that's not to say it can't be done. I'd love to hear other people's suggestions. Coincidentally, Chris, I just returned to the states from Oxford (Dorchester-on-Thames, actually) Good Luck, declan Chris Crosskey <chriscross1966(a)hotmail.com> wrote: Hi folks, I'm Chris, an EE from Oxford in England and the proud owner of a JS-30 (which arrived alst week) and an S750 (which arrived today)....

RE: Re :[sgroup] The resonant filter

by Detko, Ralph: OS_TDO

Basically, cutoff is the treble control, resonance adds harmonics and emphasis to the filter envelope as it is triggered. If you use basic waveforms (saw triangle square), this is how you shape the sound in the frequency spectrum. For instance you can't do a gong sound without the resonance. If you back off the cutoff (fewer high freqs) and increase the resonance, you should start to get overtones. As you increase the resonance the overtones will start to dominate the sound and the fundamental will disappear. It will start to sound like it's underwater. If you apply this to a complex sound such as a voice or instrument sample, you will either remove the high freqs (with loss of loudness) or make it sound like it's coming over a telephone (or worse). Perhaps a useful application is to apply a slow LFO to the filter cutoff (try this with drums) with the resonace set so that the sound doesn't start to oscillate (and ruin your mix) as more high freqs are added. The thing about the 760 filter is that is will self-oscillate, meaning the annoying whistling sound you get when you crank the resonance full. Back off the cutoff to make the sound more manageable. Also keep the velocity sensitivity of the filter down a bit till you get a handle on it.

Re: Re :[sgroup] The resonant filter

by niko_s＠web.de

Use the resonant Filter in combination with the ADSR envelope or LFOs. You are able to morph a "thudd" into a "foomp" or bring life to synth-pads with a moving Filter. You have to bring Dynamics into play, not just adding resonance to a fixed Filter. What makes a Jupiter's Filter powerful is it's envelope.

S-50

by Bjstevison＠aol.com

Some of the S-50 images that I've gotten online are not being read by my sampler. So far I've only found a few, but I have not gone through all of them. 2 that I have found so far is 501.7 and 507.5. Do I need to do something else beside floppy image them? Does anyone have a copy that they've been able to use on their S-50?

The resonant filter

by Petrit J.

Sorry for the newbie question but, what¹s all that fuss with resonant filters ? Why do people are so much after them ? To my ears when I¹m tweaking my S-760, all it makes is a weird sound in the treble (I even tried on an E-Mu), so I can¹t see at all how it could make a bass sound sounds ³better² for when i¹m playing some bass patch in Sxx format and playing with the filter resonance, it¹s doesn¹t sound any better or phatter...or maybe i dunno how to do it. Thanks Petrit

I think the mailing list is now moved - you should likely have received a welcome message from mailman with the details (though the password mentioned may be incorrect). Please let me know if you notice anything unexpected. Thanks - cheers! John jsellens(a)generalconcepts.com
