Hello there tuners.

Two things:

1)I am saving frantically for an AKAI S2000 sampler, can anyone tell me if
their quality differs in respect relative, absolutely,
relatively-absolutely, absolutely-relatively and in a Universal "eye of gOd
sence", as to other samplers?????????????

A fellow at the music shop said they were of poor quality compared to E-Mu,
but I don't get it.......

16 bits is 16 bits, right?

And well, with 1/100th of a cent (1/10000th of a semitone) tuning
resolution, well, the pitchtable is THAT finely divided, and flexible....

2)I went to an EXCELLENT performance arts theatre, EXPERIMENTAL MUSICAL
INSTRUMENTAL live playing called "FROM SCRATCH", and I have taken about 40
photographs of these exotic and just plaine WEIRD INSTRUMENTS.

I can mail people copys of these prints if they are interested.

Oh yes.....

A message to Warren Burt,-I will, if you send me youre' snail mail adress,
send you my plans for microtonality, and an explaination, in HARDCOPY of the
superpower temperaments.

I heard Warren Burts microtonal etudes, and my only real concern is that
there wern't enough of them.

They were brilliant!!!

Please sir, some more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Neil Haverstick, I will send you some cash for the OTHER WORLDS CD soon,
please give me an adress.

Thanks for youre input, friends, and good luck for the year 2000.

Sincerely,

Sarn Richard Ursell.

That is the opinion in our house. One of the prizes in my CD
collection. I think Warren said that he had some more.....
