sound libraries for vintage MIDI synths
If you were around in the late 1980s and early 1990s you may
remember Cesium Sound full page ads in Keyboard and Electronic Musician, or you may have gotten a flyer. Sound libraries are still available as Sysex files for 01/W, SY-85, JD-990, ESQ-1, SQ-80, TX81Z, D-50, D-550, VFX, VFXSD, SD-1, Proteus/1, Proteus/2, and Wavestation. SQ-80 and ESQ-1 sounds compatible with the VSTi SQ-80 emulator available at http://www.buchty.net/ensoniq/ http://www.cesiumsound.com/ |

sound libraries for vintage MIDI synths
"Green Xenon [Radium]" wrote in message ... The best vintage MIDI synth is Creative Music Synth. Creative Music Synth is the FM synth chip present in the SoundBlaster-16-ISA cards. Unfortunately, I am the only one who likes it. Yep, the rest of the world moved on from crappy 2 or 4 op FM synths over a decade ago! And of course Radium obviously hasn't even heard a Yamaha DX7, or he would know there were far better FM synths even at the time. Lets face it, even a Yamaha FB01 killed the SoundBlaster synth, and that's hardly considered the best midi box available! The Roland MT32 was the MIDI standard for PC games at the time being a hundred times better than the crappy SoundBlaster. (we can safely assume he hasn't heard one of those either!) And yes I know it's just another of his trolls thanks, but I'm sure he truly believes it. His stupidity has been proven beyond doubt a thousand times at least. And we wouldn't want to deny him his only fun in life :-) MrT. |

Oh, I wouldn't use the word "stupidity" to describe Radium and his quests for perfection (as he sees it). I just think that his own perceptual system (ear/brain), and his own way of defining "best", is rotated about 30 degrees out of sync with the average person's... and that his understanding of science is similarly twisted out of alignment with the laws of physics in the universe in which we all live. At times he seems to fail to exhibit the amount of common-sense that one would expect to find in a six-week-old puppy. -- Dave Platt AE6EO Friends of Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |

"Green Xenon [Radium]" wrote in message ... Yes, I've listened the audio quality all the stuff you mentioned. Still not as refreshing as Creative Music Synth. "Refreshing" eh? :-) Sadly for me, Creative Technology does not want to talk about Creative Music Synth. I've contacted them in almost any way, shape, and form but not gotten any good info. I rarely get a response and when I do, it's usually crap. They already know what a fool you are then :-) They (and Yamaha) know the use by date for those crap synth chips is well and truly past!

Oh, I wouldn't use the word "stupidity" to describe Radium and his quests for perfection (as he sees it). It's exactly his way of seeing things that flies in the face of reality that makes him stupid IMO. Fact, one could sample those crappy FM synth sounds and they would be audibly indistinguishable, yet Radium claims one is audio nirvana and the other is aural excrement. MrT. |

"Green Xenon [Radium]" wrote in message ... Fact, one could sample those crappy FM synth sounds and they would be audibly indistinguishable, Yes, I know that. I've recorded it myself. I make a stereo recording to a wave file that is 44.1 kHz sample-rate, 16-bit and stereo. I then invert the left channel and then combine it with the right channel. I then get a mono of the sound without what used to be panned to the center. This is how those karaoke voice-cancellers work. I notice, after this processing I use, the sounds are even better than what they used to be. yet Radium claims one is audio nirvana and the other is aural excrement. No. I have nothing against sampling those sounds. However, they've got to be sampled properly. And from his very next post: Unfortunately, they've have no problem incorporating nasty sample-playback MIDI synth -- such as MS GS wavetable SW synth and the Crystal soundfont -- into their soundcards. You do know what a contradiction is right? You can use YOUR own FM samples with those wavetable synths if that's the crap you prefer. MrT. |

Compared to the Crystal soundfont, Creative-Music-Synth is paradise. How does being better (in your opinion), than another POS make it "the best soundcard-only MIDI synth"? There are thousands of better software synths available, none of which you have heard obviously. MrT. |

"Green Xenon [Radium]" wrote in message ... I've listened to many soundcard-only MIDI synths. Too many to name. Of all of them, Creative Music Synth is the best. How does it feel to be the only person in the world who believes that? (Just like the marcher who claims everyone is out of step but him :-) MrT. |

I wish for them to be punished because I want them to make me a upgraded version of Creative Music Synth [whose audio resolution is at least 2x that of the human auditory system] for a reasonable price. But they won't do that. They might make me a deal that if I pay them a $ billions [which I obviously don't have] that they will make one for me. Even if I could afford this, I will find out their heinous lie when its too late. Even if I were a billionaire, they'll trick me into giving them my billions of bucks for a crappy synth is no where as good as even the original CMS. That's what happens when you request a customized device be built for you. The @$$hole who you're making a deal with, will just empty out your bank account and give you nothing in return. Hell, he might be sadistic and put an explosive in the device so that when you turn it on, it will set your room on fire. And there is nothing you can do about it. You're seriously injured but you can't sue him. That's why I hate sickos like Creative Technology and wish for them to be severely punished. You are insane. You insist on someone else being punished for your screw up? -- "I've also noted that a couple of my regular spammers have pretty much switched over to phishing and 419s from pecker pills and sawdust tablets." - Bar0 "If it's from BRNIC, it's GOT to be blocked" - Buss Error |

wrote: Where did I "screw up"? Where DIDN'T you? If you pay someone a gigabuck for a task, you expect them to do the task properly. Isn't that reasonable? No, it's not. You never paid anyone a gigabuck, no one ever accepted your offer, in fact, you not only never credibly made such an offer, you are utterly incapable of making such an offer with any credibiity. To claim otherwise is not only UNreasonable, it's ridiculous. Just because you expect someone to do something doesn't mean they will, can or even should do it. To claim otherwise is not only UNreasonable, it's ridiculous. The only one who deserves to be punished for your idiotic expectations is you. To expect otherwise is UNreasonable. And because you stated that you wish severe physical harm upon one or more individuals, the only reasonable expectation you're allowed to have is that the various prosecutorial authorities that are now involved in investigating your threats will be along soon. Knock knock! |
