We have learn about the "Huastecos" culture, and very much information about the "Olmecas", now I'm making music with some ethnic elements, the music of Mexico is NOT The Mariachi, Cumbia, Quebradita or any latin rhytm, the music of Mexico is laying down 20 feets under the ground... the music of Mexico has die with the arriving of the spanish invation at the 15th century.<BR/><BR/>Now I'm making som investigation about the music of the Olmeca culture and I will incorporate this beautiful sounds at my crazuy music.<BR/><BR/>I will record som percussive samples and will load it in the NNXT dispositive (by "propellerhead Reason"). Have you ever work with "Propellerhead Reason"? "Reason" is a great tool for making musica, you have a sequencer, sample players, synthezisers and FX boxes with Delays, reverbs, chorus/flagers, eq, dynamic filters etc etc etc, any tool to bring to life any dead culture... i will start with the Olmeca music.

I seem to recall that rather than an analog audio, or midi, or Roland style 13-pin cabling that comes stock with their synths, that I've seen your guitars accept something resembling a computer monitor or 9-pin RS232 serial cable. Specifically, it seemed to be a D-sub style plug, with the pair of screws on each side to keep it firmly attached. <BR/><BR/>I hunted around to find evidence of anyone else using something like this, but have turned up nothing.<BR/>The reason I ask is because I'm considering making a mod to my ART Ultrafoot contoller, used with the sgx-2000 effects rack. I want to replace the pair of midi cables and wall wart power input with some kind of single cable. Also, I was thinking of additionally running an analog signal through that cable, and mounting an input jack right on the Ultrafoot. <BR/><BR/>Therefore, I could plug directly from guitar to the foot pedal, which I am standing 'close to", and then the whole shebang goes down the big honking cable back to the rack. So, I'm curious about making use of the roland 13-pin, but I've always thought the connector ends of those were likely to break easily. I have a GR30, and that cable just doesn't seem very sturdy.<BR/>But, I don't know if an off-the-shelf computer cable would work well when mixing analog and digital signals. It sure seems like the connectors would be sturdier though.<BR/>I'd appreciate anyone's response who's familiar with Adrian's setup.

How do you count that? 4+4+3+3+3?<BR/><BR/>Relistening to elephant talk, finally picked up on the alphabetical structure (duh), with the "elephant talk" part after the B's then the C's, then the D's and then again at the end. Cool how the guitar solo (starting about 3:28) morphs into elephant talk.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118634680482507725noreply@blogger.com
