On a Roland Sound Canvas, the note frequencies for the drum channel(s) - two may be active at one time - are controlled by sysex messages. (Although channel 10 is defaulted to drums, you may send a sysex message to make any channel melodic, drum one, or drum two.) This is great if you want to have two completely different sized snares at once, or if you want to have a brush set along with a normal drum set. Something ELSE we need sysex for!!! -- John Cowles cowles@hydra.convex.com Convex Computer Corp. 214 497 4375 3000 Waterview Pkwy Richardson, Tx. 75080 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Sep 1993 09:41:26 -0400 From: dbutler@rocinante.gsfc.nasa.gov (Dave Butler) Subject: unsubscribe Message-ID: <9309221349.AA10245@rocinante.gsfc.nasa.gov> ------------------------------ End of GUS Programmer's Digest V4 #16 ************************************* To post to tomorrow's digest: To (un)subscribe or get help: To contact a human (last resort): FTP sites: archive.epas.utoronto.ca pub/pc/ultrasound wuarchive.wustl.edu systems/msdos/ultrasound Hints: - Get the FAQ from the FTP sites or the request server. - Mail to for info about other GUS related mailing lists (UNIX, OS/2, GUS-MIDI, etc.)
