years ago when the Mirage ruled, I need a 'beast' howl for a Childrens Theater production of "Beauty and the Beast" tried slowing down a wolf, dog, cow, sheep etc. Tried vocalizing it myself. nothing satisfied me, so ended up hexa-decimaling my way combining a rooster crow, parrot squawk and a sampl...

mods: i chose to post in 'samplers' rather than 'help'. move if you want. have a classic EPS with problems. need some quick help from anyone else who has a working one handy: on booting, watch the "calibrating keyboard" display: while this is going on, does the left-most character (the 'C' in calibr...

i like the big, wide rubbery ones on my Alesis QS

jumping in here with some of my often times useless advice: 1. don't realy like wedding dresses... all brides should be nude.

let me find my JX-10 schematics... there are test proceedures that may work on the JX-8. basicly, the assigner board waits for a 'ready' signal from the voice board... if the synth freezes on the welcome screen, chances are the voice board is not returning this signal. there is a way of powering up ...

this post edited to remove stupid advice i thought was correct. sorry. if the glass display is not actualy broken, they should last just about forever. recheck ALL solder joints. check for +50 volts at pin #3 of the 6-pin power connector to the display board. check for 9 volts AC between pins 5 and...

1. difference between jacking off to a perfect, airbrushed picture of a lovely person, and making love to a REAL lovely person...zits, wrinkles, personality conflicts and all. 2. some folks would rather buy a new Toyota with every gadget in perfect working order and a 100k warrantee while others (li...
