1163.0. "Sonix vs SYNTHia?" by MDKCSW::DAVIS (That's not a BUG, it's a FEATURE!) Sat Feb 13 1988 20:50

I need some advice from you Amiga-musicians.  I currently have DMCS and like
it's editing capabilites.  After hearing the Sonix Player demos, I want more!
The instruments in Sonix seem much superior to those I've seem for DMCS.  On
the other hand, Sonix looks like it lacks in the score input/editing area.

I just heard of a product called SYNTHia that lets you make your own instru-
ments -- has anyone used it?  Would it be better to get Sonix, or get SYNTHia
and try to make instruments for use with DMCS??

				All opinions are appreciated!

    with it...
    
    but...I uploaded another song....(it has a fairly good PD instrument
    in it too)

1163.2Sterio SamplerBONKER::DUPREThe Sherrif of Noting-hamMon Feb 15 1988 15:1915
		You might also consider the sterio sampler from Perfect Sound.
	This is a device which plugs into the parallel port and digitizes a
	sterio signal.  One can use this to obtain a sample then create an
	instrument from the sample with the software that comes with the device.
		For instance, I connected the sampler to my sterio system, I
	took an empty beer bottle and blew across the top of it producing a
	tone which was picked up by microphones and thus by the sampler.  I took
	the sample and edited it to get only the part I wanted then I made two
	more samples, one higher and one lower, with the software provided and
	merged the three into a three octave instrument.  Next I loaded the new
	instrument into DMCS and presto! the Bottle-phon lives!  I got this at
	The Software Shop for $70
