Help--Chipmunks got me.

Doesn't sound good. The Tascam is a slave of the M-1000 and the Gina 24 is a slave to the Tascam? Is that right?

One device should be the master and everything else connected directly to that device, if possible.

Do you have all these devices feeding into one of them, or do all three connect to the computer?

I'd think the TASCAM would be your choice for a common point.

What do you need with the Gina if you have that Tascam?

Howard is probably right. As a common rule.. bouncing the clock from device to device is not good. One device must be the master clock. There is probably some info about this in the manual. The tascam is probably a great master clock.

Right.. ok.. I know what you are up to.. I am kinda setting up a similar rig here. I have set up the FW410 to be the masterclock.. and I am picking up the sync from the SPDIF in on the second G4 ( the virtual instrument box ). This works fine.

Ho Kay, got a BNC cable and now have every thing synced from the Tascam. Will keep fingers crossed. Have attached a piece that should run 1:39 and sound neither like a dirge nor chipmunks on meth--though rather cheesy. Could somebody verify this? Very Happy

BTW apologies to R.K.

OK... all is well here. It sounds excellent and says it is 1.39 long.. plays fine in iTunes.

Now you try grabbing a file at random from the Online Music section and play it with some mp3 player you haven´t used for a while. To see if opening a seldom used app suddenly kicks your system back into chipmunk mode..
...but I am pretty certain that you have solved the problem now

Wow, I like this "fluffy" piece. Smile

Seriously, this is really beautiful, like Erik Satie music. Like everything you've posted, it is too short, but if you had a bunch of different ones in a collection, or suite, then there is no problem with the length.

I can't tell you how good it feels to hear your music, Robert.

There you go! This is brilliant! Very Happy

OK.. right.. Robert... "I told you so".. Very Happy

This is great stuff!

Given this encouragement I’m posting the first piece in the set also. It’s called “Butterflies, Flowers, Kite.” One could think of these as lightweight musical Haiku. I should add that each piece in the set was built from some “atomic” part of a “classical” composition. The composition was chosen to fit some idea partly revealed in the title of the piece. The first has something from an LVB symphony transformed into something that is self contained and closed rather than possessing the developmental potential of the original. A good bit of the first is also sort of an un-Fuxed up exercise in species based counterpoint.

Typically I have some sort of “conceptual-art” game or games going on in the background while I’m composing, mainly for self-amusement. And I do not attach much aesthetic significance to them. But sometimes the games offer useful structure, guidance or ideas.

Again this is a literal transform of raw score data.

This is wonderful. Which device plays the piano here?
We haven´t yet gotten hold of the new Petrof yet, so for now I have been using Steinberg The Grand. What about me running the midi file into Cubase and The Grand.. and we find out what happens next? I will not have time to do that until friday or saturday or so.. but... ?? Very Happy

Performance... should this sound like Brendel, Mozart or Prokofiev? ...or all of them?

elektro80 · Posted: Mon Aug 16, 2004 5:48 pm Post subject:

This could be taken into Satie land, but I am not quite sure if that is called for really.

elektro80 · Posted: Mon Aug 16, 2004 5:51 pm Post subject:

I wonder if the tempo could not be reduced a tad. Not much.. just a little bit. I hear some sounds within sounds here and they would really stand out on a grand at a sightly lower tempo.

Wow.. yes.. i would love to take a shot at this. BTW: music is about abstraction. It is weird hearing piano music played frmo midi files in absolute tempo. I get ideas. I get ideas.
