News tuners!

I have just about reached the point whereby I am going to purchase a
microtuneable sampler, and when I get it into my hands, it's time to have fun.

I looked back at the screeds of information that I have as documents,
information that it's nearly about time for me to put all of these into
practice.

There is however a problem, and this is that my current computer system
isn't quite powerful enough for me to use Cakewalk version nine....

This seemed a little above my system capabilitys.

So, can anyone tell me where I might be able to get an older version of
Cakewalk, and to use this?

The problem is that modern shops only sell the latest and greatest version.

Can anybody lend me a spare copy of there's, or at least suggest where I
might be able to download an older version of this sequenceing and
multitracking tool?

I assume that it would be a straightfoward matter of retuneing the sampler,
and having cakewalk trigger off notes stored in the sampler, and taking this
information, and somehow putting it to CD.

It is the hardest part of having this information how, and where I want it
on CD.

Would this require yet another type of software, as in series:

CAKEWALK---->SAMPLER---->CD BURNER?

Help!

I will let you in on a little technique that I was intending to keep a
secret but I can't go ahead without telling people.

John Lennon was a fan of subliminal messages, and what I want to do is
"encrypt" pictures in to a four tone state, thus the hue of a picture could
be 2^16 as a binary tone sequence, and as could the tint of a picture, thus:

ONE PIXEL:-

2^16 Hue 2^16 Tint
----------------- ------------------
4 3 | 0110110101111011 | 3 | 01101111101011101| 3 4

The above shows the codeing and encryption for varous pictures that need to
be "encapsulated" in a four state tone system, each tone being 0.001 second,
tones 5000Hz, 10000Hz, 15000Hz, and 2KHz.

Altho it sounds weird, I wanted to do this as a joke, you know, a novelty,
for some fun as it were...

How would I go about instructing the computer to convert pixels as the one
shown above into tones?

And, form there, to encrypt information?

Can somebody do it for me with Jpegs, or at least, tell me how?

A 480*640 pixel picture would be as long as 307.2 seconds, which is about
five minutes.

Can anyone help me with these two requests?

Very Sincerely,

Sarn Richard Ursell.

You should probably think twice about if a sampler is really what you want.First off you have to find one that allows full range tuning,and what kind of sound you are going for in general-im not familiar with samplers in general,but i know there arent many tunable synths out there now.

A software solution is definitely the best for computer composition,but there aren't any multitimbral"plain MIDI"software synthesizers that support tunings.You can use Midi Relay with any MIDI synth or external gear,but it will limit you to using ONE patch at a time.Csound is powerful,but perhaps not the kind of interface you are looking for.Otherwise the Yamaha DX/TX series is still the best choice for a multitimbral tunable synth(no samples though).

Programs like Coagula and BMP2WAV render an image into sound as a spectogram,using a large amount of sine waves.You can also load a monochrome bitmap image as a raw waveform(gives basically one pitch varying in timbres)or modulate an oscillator with the light values of it,which can give some usable effects.However i dont consider any of them to be very versatile musically.

As for with Cakewalk,email me privately.
