I wouldn't send it to MOTU. I learned long, long ago that they don't really pay much attention to that sort of thing unless you know one of them personally. Whoever said it's because it's a larger company with more liabilities at stake was probably right. It seems I am now learning the same. Not to...

Guys,

I take all your points - some made better than others - on board. I'm not taking it personally.

FWI - the piece was not lovely.... it was a raucous bombastic joke, much like Shooshies' comments.

We're all a little busy James, but I guess you're right, maybe the person in charge of listening to everyone's music wasn't in the office that day. The point I'm making is it surely is a good thing that end users contact companies and are supportive of them and their products. I'm sure Motu et al do...

Mark of the Unicorn?

Thought folk might be interested. During a recent casual music project - a throw away Xmas tune posted on a friends hosting site (thanks again for the help I received from UCorn members, re mixing) I had contacted some software companies whose products were instrumental (no pun intended) in creating...

Yeah, Thanks. I do the same or just drag selections where I'd want them to be. I was curious to see if something more speedy (and responsive), when making arbitrary selections of notes in an arp, could be applied as I'm experimenting in messing up the octaves to add some variety to said arp. It's no...

Keyboard shortcut to transpose?

Hi, Hope everyone had a good and eventful holiday period. I have a quickie (as opposed to a quick key). Does anyone know if there is a keyboard shortcut for transposing MIDI data selections up (or down) an octave? Seems to be a basic thing which would be nice to be zipped up a bit. Commands ain't he...

GWJ-- did you say Talisker? My fave, second only to Lagavulin. Actually, I was in search of Boodles (different avenue altogether), but it's rare west of the Atlantic. Talisker will MORE than suffice. :wink: Yeah, my fave along with Springbank and some of the West coasters - Lagavulin, amongst them ...

Stylus RMX loaded with some Beat Bandit is a good combo for electronica, techno rhythms. Also MX4 give's an un-natural sound set that's strangely warm.. Atmosphere for airyness...

I thought it was from an Irish poet or sociologist, then again, maybe he/it is. The quote is very "Greed is Good" from "Wall street".http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greed_Is_Good

...mmm. Marimba being struck with a beater - didn't realise that was so unusual.

Thanks aafarr2, but your suggestion ain't very practical given my original question. In fact I think it's the equivalent of RTFM!

Bass Marimba Samples?

Anyone know of good Bass Marimba samples as played with a beater, a la ' The Drums of Amampondo '? I think I can only play them back in Rex/Rex 2 format via Stylus RMX or as AIFF's or SDII's via Plugsound Pro. Thanks -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

It's not funny - it's tragic.... Yeah, but you know, we've all been there. Starting a song with a guitar that is tragically out of tune, broken a string on the first line, overloaded the circuit breakers in the joint mid song, etc....You just gotta soldier on and make the best of it. I know we've a...
